Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to new or casual riders, including those on a moped or restricted-licence pathway, given its 50cc two-stroke class.
PurposeBuilt for short urban hops, commuting, and running errands rather than any kind of serious performance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low-slung, so it's easy to handle for smaller or less experienced riders and simple to manage at a stop.
CharacterA sporty-styled 50cc scooter that feels zippy and nimble in traffic thanks to its light weight and quick-revving two-stroke engine.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2008 TGB 101R 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 TGB 101R 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
