Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-stakes scooter well suited to beginners and casual riders, including those returning to two wheels after a long break.
PurposeIt is built for short urban hops, running errands, and easy commuting rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to manage at a stop and comfortable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a relaxed, practical, no-drama personality with automatic transmission simplicity and modest, predictable performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for highway touring, carrying a passenger over long distances, or anyone seeking speed and excitement.

2012 Nipponia Aura Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Nipponia Aura, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
