Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Electric Motion Escape XR has a 851 mm seat; the Zero Motorcycles DSR sits at 843 mm — a 8 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 85 cm for the Electric Motion Escape XR and 84 cm for the Zero Motorcycles DSR.
That makes the Zero Motorcycles DSR the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Electric Motion Escape XR gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
