scooter / default rider 183 cm
Aprilia Sportcity 250 vs Piaggio Beverly 400 ergonomics
Aprilia Sportcity 250 and Piaggio Beverly 400 have modeled posture scores within three points for the 183 cm default rider. Treat this as a planning estimate; posture preference, data confidence, and a real test sit still matter.
Posture overlay
The default rider's modeled seated posture on each bike, solved from the same geometry as the score panels and overlaid on one ground line so seat height and reach differences are visible at a glance.

The modeled scores are within three points, so the result does not distinguish a higher-scoring bike. Treat the result as a planning estimate and compare each bike's geometry confidence before a real test sit.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Aprilia Sportcity 250 lists a 813 mm seat; the Piaggio Beverly 400 lists 821 mm — a 8 mm difference. Seat height is only a first-pass ground-reach input. It does not establish safety or actual foot contact. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change the result.
On seat height alone, the Aprilia Sportcity 250 has the easier modeled ground reach. Load your measurements into the simulator to compare the model, then verify both motorcycles in person.

Fit by rider height
Modeled ground contact by rider height, in 5 bands from 5'2" to 6'4" (158-193 cm).
| Rider height | Aprilia Sportcity 250 | Piaggio Beverly 400 |
|---|---|---|
| 158 cm / 5'2" | Tiptoe only | Tiptoe only |
| 167 cm / 5'6" | Balls of feet | Balls of feet |
| 176 cm / 5'9" | Both feet flat | Both feet flat |
| 184 cm / 6'0" | Both feet flat | Both feet flat |
| 193 cm / 6'4" | Both feet flat | Both feet flat |
Modeled from each bike's seat height and a typical inseam-to-height ratio only — not a flat-footing guarantee. Real ground contact still depends on seat shape, suspension sag, footwear, and your own proportions. Confirm on the motorcycle.
Verdict
Aprilia Sportcity 250 and Piaggio Beverly 400 are both scooter bikes, so the practical question is which of their real differences you'd actually feel. Piaggio Beverly 400 runs a 191 mm longer wheelbase than Aprilia Sportcity 250, which typically trades some low-speed agility for extra stability at speed. None of that adds up to a clear overall winner in the modeled posture score, so the individual differences above are the more useful comparison than the headline number. Treat every figure here as a planning estimate: seat width, suspension sag, footwear, and your own proportions can shift the real feel more than a few millimetres or degrees on paper. Load your height and inseam into the simulator, then sit on both before you decide.
