Who should ride it

This bike is for riders whose main use is off-road trail riding and who want a four-stroke with electric starting and a six-speed gearbox. Its 34.1-inch seat, 249 lb curb weight, and 11.7 inches of ground clearance are useful details to consider when matching it to your size and typical trails. It is built for one rider, with no passenger, and is not a choice for public-road commuting because it has no lights and is not street legal in the U.S.
