Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for riders of any experience level, including those newer to powered two-wheelers, thanks to its automatic transmission and predictable manners.
Purpose	Built as a comfortable maxi-scooter for commuting and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	The low 775 mm seat height and step-through layout make it accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	A relaxed, practical machine that favors ease of use, weather protection, and smooth automatic power delivery over sportiness.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high top-speed thrills, or any off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Piaggio BV Tourer 500, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
