Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginners and learner riders, including those on a moped-class license due to its 45 km/h limited top speed.
PurposeDesigned as a lightweight, low-powered 50cc scooter for short urban trips and basic commuting rather than performance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low seat height make it easy to handle for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterA humble, no-frills city runabout that prioritizes simplicity, low running costs, and easy manageability over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or riders seeking any real performance.

2013 Sachs SX 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 2013 Sachs SX, 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.
