Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a youth or beginner-oriented minibike, best suited to young or novice riders taking their first steps off-road rather than experienced adults.
PurposeIt's designed for casual backyard and trail play at low speeds rather than any serious performance, racing, or transportation use.
Rider FitThe tall-ish 940mm seat height paired with a tiny 95kg chassis makes it easy to manage physically, though it's really scaled for smaller riders.
CharacterLightweight, simple, and forgiving, this little enduro-styled 50cc machine prioritizes fun and accessibility over speed or capability.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suitable for adult daily commuting, highway use, touring, or any rider seeking real off-road performance or power.

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

Feet:

Data quality: measured. 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.
