Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine for riders willing to learn an entirely different skillset, since a sidecar rig steers by countering throttle and body weight rather than leaning, and it punishes anyone who rides it like a normal motorcycle.
Purpose	It exists for slow, deliberate, characterful travel and utility, not for speed or sport, rewarding owners who want a mechanical, retro, go-anywhere-at-a-crawl experience.
Rider Fit	Riding demands real upper body strength and constant steering input to fight the sidecar's pull, plus comfort with a low top speed and heavy, low-slung 322kg mass.
Character	Quirky, old-world, and unapologetically analog, the M70 suits someone who values presence and novelty over performance and wants a bike that turns heads for being different rather than fast.
Not Ideal For	This is not for anyone wanting quick acceleration, agile cornering, or long fast highway stints, since its low power and three-wheeled dynamics make it fundamentally unsuited to sporty or high-speed riding.

Units

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

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Ural M70, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
