Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for new or casual riders, including those on a learner or moped-class license, given its small 50cc automatic engine.
PurposeBuilt for short urban hops and commuting rather than performance riding or long-distance travel.
Rider FitVery lightweight and low seat height make it easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA simple, low-maintenance runabout scooter that prioritizes practicality and fuel efficiency over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway speeds, long tours, off-road use, or riders wanting a passenger-friendly or powerful machine.

2016 Tomos Nitro 50 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 2016 Tomos Nitro 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.
