Rider Profile

Best For	Ideal for beginners or license holders looking for a simple, non-intimidating automatic scooter for everyday use.
Purpose	Built for short urban commutes and running errands rather than any performance or long-distance riding.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height and lightweight 113 kg build make it very manageable for riders of smaller stature or less strength.
Character	A practical, economical, no-fuss city scooter that prioritizes ease of use and fuel efficiency over excitement.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for riders wanting highway touring, high speeds, off-road capability, or carrying a passenger in comfort.

2015 Piaggio Typhoon 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 762mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Piaggio Typhoon 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
