PurposeIt's built for short, slow trips around town such as commuting to school, running errands, or light urban puttering, not for any kind of serious riding.
Rider FitIts light weight and low seat height make it very approachable for smaller or less experienced riders, with minimal physical demands to operate.
CharacterThe character here is humble and utilitarian, a simple 45 km/h automatic scooter with no pretensions toward performance or excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for anyone wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring, spirited cornering, or off-road capability.

2016 Tomos Twister 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 Twister 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.
