Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level moped-class scooter suited to complete beginners or younger riders taking their first steps on a motorized two-wheeler.
PurposeIt's built for short, low-speed trips around town such as running errands or commuting a few miles, not for any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 101.6 kg dry weight and low seat height make it extremely easy and unintimidating to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterThe Evo 50 is a simple, cheerful, no-frills automatic scooter that prioritizes accessibility and easy ownership over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for highway riding, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone wanting real acceleration or power.

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

Feet:

At 711mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Tao Motor Evo 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.
