Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or anyone who wants simple, low-stakes transportation without worrying about shifting gears.
PurposeBuilt purely for short-hop urban commuting, errands, and campus or neighborhood runs rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and tiny 179 lb wet weight make it extremely easy to handle for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterA friendly, unintimidating scooter that prioritizes convenience, fuel efficiency, and easy maneuverability over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real performance.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 719mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Honda Metropolitan, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 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.
