Rider Profile

Best ForThis 50cc automatic scooter is ideal for beginners, new riders, or anyone needing a simple, low-stakes way to get around town.
PurposeBuilt purely for short urban hops, errands, and commuting rather than performance or distance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it easy and unintimidating for riders of almost any size or strength to handle.
CharacterA practical, no-fuss city runabout with automatic transmission and modest liquid-cooled single-cylinder power, prioritizing ease of use over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for highway touring, carrying a passenger long distances, spirited cornering, or any kind of offroad use.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2009 Malaguti Phantom F12R Liquid Cooled, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
