Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a low-speed electric scooter suited to complete beginners and even those without a full motorcycle license in many regions.
PurposeIt's designed purely for short urban hops, errands, and light commuting rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitThe low 760mm seat height and light 115kg dry weight make it extremely easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterIt has a quiet, practical, eco-friendly personality with none of the drama or excitement of a combustion-powered machine.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for anyone wanting highway speeds, long trips, a passenger, or any kind of spirited or sporty riding experience.

2012 Peugeot Vivacity Electric 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 Peugeot Vivacity Electric, 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.
