Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for riders with a full motorcycle license or maxi-scooter experience, thanks to its size and power output.
Purpose	Built as a maxi-scooter for comfortable commuting and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	The 780mm seat height and 213kg wet weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may find it a bit of a handful at low speed.
Character	A practical, torquey automatic scooter that feels stable and confident on highways and city roads alike.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking off-road capability, sporty handling, or a lightweight, nimble city runabout.

Units

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 2005 Piaggio B 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.
