Hi I am a 5'9" tall female with longer legs than torso. I am not sure which trike, any advice? Tnx, Liz.

I'm sure this one would fit you. I bought for my wife who is 5'7" with a 36 Inseam. However on a seperate note this back came with untrue rims, bent fenders, and the crank wore out in three weeks. My wife also complained it was extremely difficult to pedal. Hope this helps

I'm 5'2". The seat does rise high. I'm not sure any trike would be good for you on sharp turns, as you are sitting down and your knees may hit the handles. If you do not plan in making sharp turns, then I think this bike would be fine.

I'm also 5'8 and this one fits me well. That said, the big guy at the bike shop has a foldable 20'' wheel one and makes it work. He liked mine better though when he tried it. The only reason not to get this one is that it's heavy and has no gears, so hills are a real challenge. You can't dodge potholes on a 3 wheeler, so I think the bigger wheels are better in the city.

I don't know about the height but the Schwinn Meridian has some very flimsy parts- I would not buy it again

Hi, I am 5'7' also mostly legs!! I LOVE my trike. I also have cycle, but the trike is great for grocery shopping and going to farmers market!! It's fun :)

My partner is exactly 6' tall. This trike suits him comfortably. This is after adjusting the seat post to the highest height and also raising the handlebar post to the highest height. I think this trike should fit you...but you do have to play around with the adjustments. Always make sure that whatever you work out, the result produces good posture!

Actually out will not work on an adult trikea without modifications....I did not use the support bar because the bike itself supported the back of the seat....I am short so the back of the seat is testing on my basket...hope this is helpful

I'm a 5'7" female, 155lbs. I think you might be too tall for this if you are doing long distance biking. Try on at a bike store first.

Check again, they are all 3 now available at another place... most frequent GOOGLE result and for 200 less than here. I just bought the large, and I am 5'10, but I have a 30" inseam and it fits ok and I have even had to adjust the seat up quite a bit more than I was expecting. I added a diamondback pillowtop saddle, since I am new to biking also and the saddle that it comes with was killing me. If you are mechanically adept, you can assemble the bike easily but it is good to have a REAL bike shop look it over, the box store assembled mine and it ended up scratched, with under inflated tires, the brakes squeaked, handle bars were not aligned properly, and the deraillers needed adjustment Check again, they are all 3 now available at another place... most frequent GOOGLE result and for 200 less than here.

I'm 5'9''. They only had 1 size of this bike when I ordered it and I barely make it work for me. The seat is all the way down and I even removed the reflector on the stem. It's a great bike, but if you don't have an inside leg of at least 30, you might be let down.

I think this will work fine for you. My wife has the same measurement and she can ride it fine. I love the bike . You cannot beat it for the price. i did take it to the bike shop for a tuning after I bought it. No problems. Very comfortable.I am 5'9" w/ 29" inseam. I have plenty of room.

I bought bike for my 5'6" wife, she has not used it yet. I am 5'8" and rode it a little. Seemed fine.

That was my same concern with this trike since a few other brands had a foot rest. My son puts his feet on the little guard that's above the wheel most of the time or he just lets his legs hang like them do when he's in a swing at the park. His foot does sometimes hit the tire but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. I thought about it and realized even if there was a foot rest he might not use it since he's just under 1. The all terrain wheels are what made me ultimately choose this trike. It's wonderful and he loves going out in it. Hope this helps.

I have the same 6' and 220 lbs; INSEAM for leg length (mine is 31") is more likely the deciding factor - Sam (below) has LONG legs, shorter torso, which for all of us, affects our posture (comfort) whilst riding....I'm still researching as too much stretching forward can be uncomfortable.Also, whether the handle bars can be adjusted UP and DOWN, plus extended away, or back to the rider, makes a huge difference in long distance riding comfort.

My wife uses the bike. She is 5'4" and loves it. But I really don't know for someone shorter than her. However, I do think it might be possible to "block" the pedals for someone shorter.

Hello. I'm also 5 feet tall and wondering if anyone ever answered your question. I want to buy an elliptical and they all seem to cater to tall people! I had to have the pedals of last one I owned removed and moved forward, putting wood blocks underneath to also raise me up. Otherwise I the only way I could reach the handles was to walk in a leaning forward position. ANYONE out there with advice for us shrimps?

I am 5'9" and I bought the Large Bike. I should have bought the Medium Bike, because the distance from the seat to the handle bars is a stretch for me.

Boy, it depends on body proportions. I am just 5'3", but I have long legs for a short girl. I like a 31-32 inseam in pants. I like my 15" bike. I would venture to say that the 15" is probably well suited to a 5'5" woman. When I stop, I land on tip toes, so I think at 5'5" the 17" bike would still be too tall to navigate easily.

I am 5'11 240lbs. 32" inseam. Legs do not get fully extended. Might have to get a longer seat tube. But this bike is great for cruising around. Recommend a bigger seat.

I am the same height, weigh slightly more, and fit the "long leg" descriptor. The bike does fit my legs. At the highest seat setting, it is just a tad too high, so I use it at the next lower setting. I am not a cyclist, but do jog and play occasional sports and work out and such, and find that the resistance cranks up more than enough for anything I'm trying to do. There is no question that the bike is sturdy enough for someone his size and weight. *edit* I bought this bike Sept-ish 2012 and have used it regularly since.

At 5' 2" you will have trouble reaching the ground from the seat wth any bike with 26" wheels. I am 6' and if I adjust the seat to allow for full leg extension when pedaling (the distance between the seat and the pedal at the bottom of its rotation should be 103% of you inseam) I too have trouble reaching the ground. On a bike with a women's frame or a men's frame you shouldn't have trouble standing over the bar when off the seat. If you do the frame size (the length of the tube me from the crankset to the seat) is too large for you. My daughter is 5' 4" and the recent bike we got for her is a 17" frameless and fits her well.
