Rider Profile

Best ForThis moped-class scooter is intended for beginners, learners, or those with a basic license restricted to small-displacement machines.
PurposeDesigned purely for short, low-speed urban trips like commuting to school or nearby errands, not for any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light 90 kg weight make it extremely easy and unintimidating for riders of almost any size or strength to handle.
CharacterA playful, sporty-styled 50cc runabout that mimics the look of a bigger sport scooter but is legally limited to 45 km/h.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway use, longer trips, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone wanting real speed or power.

2012 Sachs SpeedJet RS 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Sachs SpeedJet RS 50, 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.
