Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or casual riders, including those new to two wheels, thanks to its light weight and fully automatic twist-and-go operation.
PurposeBuilt primarily for stylish, everyday urban commuting and short errands rather than speed or long distances.
Rider FitVery easy to manage physically, with a low seat height, light dry weight, and no clutch or gear shifting required.
CharacterA fashionable, retro-styled city runabout that prioritizes classic design, ease of use, and fuel efficiency over performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for highway touring, carrying a passenger over distance, or anyone seeking strong acceleration or top-speed thrills.

2013 Vespa LXV Vie Della Moda Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Vespa LXV Vie Della Moda, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
