Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of nearly any experience level, including newcomers moving up from smaller scooters, thanks to the automatic transmission and manageable power delivery.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a comfortable, practical maxi-scooter for urban commuting with enough highway capability for occasional longer trips.
Rider FitA moderate 173 kg weight and low 695 mm seat height make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders to handle at a stop and in slow traffic.
CharacterA refined, practical commuter with decent brakes and a twin-disc front end, offering confidence-inspiring stability rather than outright excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp performance, off-road capability, or serious two-up long-distance touring comfort.

2014 Suzuki Skywave 250 Type S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 695mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Suzuki Skywave 250 Type S, 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.
