Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to complete beginners or those without a full motorcycle license, thanks to its tiny 49cc engine and low 30 mph top speed.
PurposeDesigned purely for short, low-speed errands and neighborhood commuting rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low 762mm seat height and light 88kg dry weight make it extremely easy and unintimidating for smaller or less physically strong riders to handle.
CharacterA basic, no-frills economy scooter that prioritizes simplicity, affordability, and easy urban maneuverability over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, touring, passengers, or anyone wanting a machine with real acceleration or power.

2006 Tank Sports Urban 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 737mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Tank Sports Urban 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
