How high do you have to pick your leg up and over to get onto the seat?

Even after six knee surgeries I find it very easy to sit on the trainer. I sit first then place my feet on the pedals.

Not that high. You can step between the pedals so it's not to high at all. You just have to move the pedls to make it easier and that's not hard.

My spine has deteriorated due to arthritis and I have had both knees replaced but have found it easy to get onto the trainer. I use the same method as listed which is to move the pedals to the best position and stepping imbetween them - approximately the same height as a stair (I use the seat as a way to steady myself). Great way to exercise - do it while watching TV.

I think that if you put your foot over the fan it is about 18 to 19 inches. As someone said you can put your feet between the pedals and sit down, which would be about 8 inches. It is a very joint-friendly machine.

Not very high at all. I would say no more than 6-8 inches at the most. You can actually just step between the pedals and seat if careful.

You can push one side of the pedals down as far as it will go then step over it, not high at all. Turn to sit on the seat then put your feet on the pedals

To straddle the machine before you sit down, the height of the fan in the middle is 19 inches and the span from side to side for foot placement is about 22 inches. It is possible to sit first and swing your legs over to the pedals, but I feel more comfortable straddling it first and then sit down. BTW, it is a very nice piece of equipment. You can get a nice workout and there is very little stress on any joints. I find the seat much more comfortable than any other exercise bike I have tried.

There are handles in the side of the seat which I would imagine should be rather helpful for those with difficulty moving about. Getting in and out of the unit is simple. I don't know your exact limitations but if you're able to manipulate your bad leg with your hands, I think you should be just fine.

Seat is 16-17 inches off the ground. The arms are very sturdy and can be used to help you get to your feet.

I don't have the chair with me, but I would think it would be low enough. You sit straddling one of the legs.

The seat height is average- but chair has leg rests that can extend to put your feet on.

For your information, from the seat to the ground is about 22" so it really depends on how tall is he/she.

23-24 inches, if you have average legs and say are 6' tall....your feet will not touch the ground. It is a taller chair, it is wider than most if you are larger (like me). Very strong and sturdy. They do make one that is "normal" height...so if you want your feet on the ground....I would get the other one.

Bery important that you be able to touch the ground if only on your tip toes in order to keep your balance as is what i do. Also you will want to put a strap around you and the child for safety as i do. You will need to lift the seat about 3 inches. Hope this helps. Me and my grandson ride all the time and have great conversation while we ride. He loves it.

Just pull up on the level below the seat and it will move down as you seat down.

Make sure the foot bar is up, lay the chair on it's back, grab and lift the front legs and step on the bottom of seat with your foot. Works great.

On the right side of the chair, there is an indentation in the chair with a small handle which you pull up and back. this allows the foot rest to actually ppop up, if you do nit attempt to put your legs on the foot rest to allow it to bring it up gently. i found it extremely difficult to bring the foot rest back into the a"chair position" for the first week or so, but now it is doing just fine.i found no button or lever to cause the foot rest to go back to the original position; it must be pushed back until you hear a 'click'.

22 inches to top of seat cushion, on highest setting I cant get my legs under my standard desk. I love this chair.

Several inches, I'd say 4-5. But the seat does not sag to the ground. I don't get a feeling that I am on the ground.

You lift the back of the seat up. I find this the only negative. They don't stack well and they tend to flop open when you don't want them to. Otherwise they are very comfortable.

For your information, from the seat to the ground is about 22" so make sure the rider is capable with that.

It was a gift to my daughter but I can tell you it's not high. With a knee surgery it might be hard to get up. I had hip surgery and I don't recommend it. Love the chair other than its low to the ground.

At it's highest point, it is 21" from ground to top of seat. The balls of my feet can reach the floor, but my heels are not touching. The seat itself is long enough that it almost reaches the bend in my knee, so it gives great support in that area as well. Hope this helps!
