Rider Profile

Best For	Ideal for absolute beginners and non-enthusiast commuters. Twist-and-go CVT means no gear-shifting, making it accessible to any rider.
Purpose	A no-fuss urban commuter for short city trips, errands and daily transport. Excellent fuel economy and light weight suit stop-and-go traffic.
Rider Fit	Very light at 106kg with a low 765mm seat and step-through underbone frame. Easy to flat-foot, upright relaxed posture, tiny 10-inch wheels.
Character	A humble, dependable, ultra-practical everyday scooter. Frugal, easy and unintimidating rather than exciting.
Not Ideal For	Not for highway riding, touring, spirited cornering, off-road or anyone wanting performance. Small wheels and drum brakes limit high-speed use.

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

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda Activa, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
