Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least a bit of scooter or motorcycle experience, given its substantial weight and maxi-scooter dimensions.
PurposeDesigned as a comfortable, practical maxi-scooter for urban commuting and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low seat height and automatic transmission make it accessible, though its dry weight of over 200 kg means slower-speed maneuvering requires some strength and confidence.
CharacterA composed, shaft-driven commuter scooter that favors smooth, relaxed riding over sportiness, with adjustable rear shocks adding a touch of ride refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp handling, high-speed thrills, or any off-road capability.

2009 Peugeot Satelis 500 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 784mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Peugeot Satelis 500, 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.
