Scoters have proven to be the best mode of transport in the city when one opts for a two-wheeler. Scooters are easy to ride, deliver great mileage, and also offer similar performance as motorcycles.
There are few disadvantages though. One of the biggest is when a rider is tall, the ergonomics of the scooter doesn’t really fit well. So what if you are a tall rider and are looking for a scooter to suit your height? Here is a list of best scooters for tall riders, be it for men or women.
Honda Activa
The Honda Activa is the best selling scooter in India, as well as the best selling two-wheeler in the Indian market. The Activa has a saddle height of 760mm, which may not be the tallest seating, but will definitely accomodate a tall rider.
