Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least some scooter or license experience, as the three-wheel tilting design and weight require an adjustment period but forgive many typical beginner mistakes.
PurposeBuilt as a premium urban and suburban commuter that adds confidence-inspiring stability and all-weather grip via its twin front wheel setup.
Rider FitIts considerable weight and low, wide seating position make it easy to plant feet at stops, though maneuvering it at low speed or on inclines demands reasonable upper body strength.
CharacterA composed, stability-focused maxi-scooter that trades outright sportiness for reassuring grip and a smooth, confident ride, especially in wet or uneven conditions.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp, lightweight agility, off-road capability, or genuine high-speed thrills.

2021 Peugeot Metropolis Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Peugeot Metropolis, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

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.
