Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and new riders; a licence-friendly 50cc twist-and-go with automatic transmission requiring no gear-shifting skill.
PurposeShort-distance urban commuting and errands. A cheap, economical runabout for getting around town, not for highways or long trips.
Rider FitLight 87kg body and slim scooter chassis with a step-through layout. Seat is a touch tall at 810mm but easy to manage; automatic and undemanding.
CharacterA small, buzzy two-stroke 50cc city scooter-simple, nimble and frugal. Modest sporty styling but firmly a basic commuter at heart.
Not Ideal ForNot for anyone needing speed, highway travel, touring range, or off-road ability. Too slow and small for experienced or long-distance riders.

2011 Sachs SX1 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Sachs SX1, 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.
