Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for complete beginners or non-riders, as its low power and top speed of 40 km/h require minimal skill or licensing in many regions.
PurposeBuilt purely as a low-cost, low-speed electric runabout for short local errands and commuting within a small radius.
Rider FitVery lightweight and low seat height make it easy to manage for smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA practical, no-frills eco-commuter scooter rather than a machine meant to excite or perform.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for anyone wanting highway speeds, long-distance travel, passenger carrying, or any off-road use.

2016 Sonik Eco Ride 500 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Sonik Eco Ride 500, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 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.
