Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level moped-class scooter, ideal for beginners, new riders, or those on a moped license with no prior experience needed.
PurposeBuilt purely for short urban hops, commuting, and running errands around town rather than any kind of performance or distance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light dry weight, and small footprint make it extremely easy and unintimidating to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA practical, no-frills 50cc runabout that prioritizes simplicity, fuel efficiency, and easy maneuverability over excitement or capability.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for anyone wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring, a passenger on board, or any kind of off-road use.

2008 TGB 101S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 TGB 101S, 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.
