Rider Profile

Best For	Ideal for absolute beginners or even younger riders, thanks to its tiny displacement, low seat height, and utterly unintimidating power delivery.
Purpose	Built for short hops, errands, and light urban commuting rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider Fit	Extremely light and low, making it easy to manage at a stop or in tight spaces for riders of almost any size or strength.
Character	A charming, minimalist runabout with retro monkey-bike styling that prioritizes fun, simplicity, and everyday practicality over speed.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, or riders seeking any real straight-line performance or off-road capability.

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

Feet:

At 755mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Honda Ape 100, 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.
