Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a learner-friendly minimoto aimed at young or novice riders rather than experienced motorcyclists seeking performance.
PurposeIt is built as a lightweight 50cc supermotard for playful urban riding, light track days, and building throttle and cornering skills rather than serious speed or distance.
Rider FitThe low dry weight and compact dimensions make it very easy to manage for smaller or lighter riders, though the 835mm seat height may feel tall for very short beginners.
CharacterIt has a nimble, flickable, toy-like personality with sporty supermotard styling, upside-down forks, and a monoshock that reward an eager, playful riding style.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for riders wanting real highway speed, long-distance touring, passenger carrying, or serious off-road capability.

2006 Rieju Spike Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2006 Rieju Spike, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
