Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or younger riders, including those on a moped license, with no prior experience needed; note the listed 'in-line six' engine appears to be a data error for what is actually a small single-cylinder 2-stroke scooter.
PurposeBuilt purely for short urban hops, errands, and getting around town rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low, with an easy reach to the ground and minimal physical effort required to handle or maneuver.
CharacterA nimble, playful little city scooter with light steering thanks to its 12-inch wheels, but very limited power on offer.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real acceleration or top speed.

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 2005 MBK Booster 12 Inch, 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.
