Honda Ape 50 vs Honda C50 Super Cub ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda Ape 50 has a 715 mm seat; the Honda C50 Super Cub sits at 706 mm — a 9 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 72 cm for the Honda Ape 50 and 71 cm for the Honda C50 Super Cub.

That makes the Honda C50 Super Cub the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda Ape 50 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.
