    Hi, hope everyone is well. Advice sort on bike sizing please? I have a 16 year old son who is 6ft 2" 80kg and the chance of a nice second hand 2021 Zip 50 4t slug, BUT it is a long drive and my local dealers don't have any in stock to sit on. Are there any tall zip riders out there who could comment please? I realise he will look like a gorilla on a bicycle and will probably be overtaken by fit cyclists but everyone has to start somewhere, and I don't have the time to keep giving him lifts. Thanks.

    Hi Lentils, I realise that the zip is an ultra rare scoot that few people will have ever come across on this forum, but I did manage to sit on one recently and reckon maximum rider height is probably 5ft 6". Hope this helps.

    Had red 4t - they can go reasonably fast,mostly get the 'slug' name due to excelleration/top end can be pretty fair (derestricted)- your downside will be that he's gonna be noticeable in traffic BEFORE the Zip & cagers only spot vehicle laters.;).

    Cheers for reply Mark. Much appreciated. He ended up on an aprillia sxr50, same engine slight bigger frame and loves it. Stay safe out there.
