The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda C50 Super Cub has a 706 mm seat; the Puch Maxi Sport sits at 483 mm — a 223 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 71 cm for the Honda C50 Super Cub and 48 cm for the Puch Maxi Sport.
That makes the Puch Maxi Sport 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 C50 Super Cub 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.
