Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal first powered two-wheeler for beginners or younger riders who need a license-friendly, low-speed moped-class scooter.
PurposeBuilt purely for short urban hops, errands, and light commuting rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts very low seat height and light dry weight make it extremely easy to handle for riders of almost any size or experience level.
CharacterA nimble, simple 49cc twist-and-go scooter with 12-inch wheels that prioritizes easy manageability over outright speed or stability.
Not Ideal ForThis scooter is not suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or any off-road use.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 768mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 MBK Booster 12INCH, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
