Rider Profile

Best ForThis scooter is best suited to complete beginners or riders who simply need basic, low-speed transportation.
PurposeIt's designed for short, slow trips around town such as running errands or commuting a few blocks, not for spirited or long-distance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very easy and unintimidating to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterIt has a friendly, economical, no-frills personality suited to casual, relaxed puttering rather than performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for anyone wanting highway speeds, passenger comfort, long trips, or any kind of off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 711mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Tank Sports Urban Econo 50, 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.
