Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience, since the electric hub-drive and modest 78 mph top speed favor confident but unhurried handling over outright performance.
PurposeBest suited as an urban and short-commute sport-styled bike rather than a genuine performance or long-distance machine.
Rider FitA low seat height and moderate dry weight make it approachable for riders of varying size and shorter inseams.
CharacterA quiet, torquey electric sportbike that favors smooth, instant low-speed acceleration and simplicity over high-speed thrills.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting high top speeds, long-range touring, or off-road capability.

2016 ZEV M-11 S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 759mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 ZEV M-11 S, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
