What is the shortest height recommended for this big wheel? i see a lot of controversy in the comments surrounding this issue.

My child was about 39"-40" when she got it for Christmas. She was just able to pedal it, and loved it. Within a couple of months she grew into it more.

At the time I got this for my daughter, last Christmas, I put the sit on the first notch, she was about 44" or so and I had to move it back further and when I moved it to the next one, she had a bit of a time trying to reach the pedals. She still can use it for a few more years. I'm glad I got it. My 5 yr. old nephew has ridden it and is much smaller then my daughter and he moved the seat to the first notch and was able to reach the pedals just fine and I'd say he is about 38', he s a bit rougher with it and it holds up well. I believe it was a good buy.

great riding toy. I am now a grandmother and my grands love it. My own four children each had one years ago and wore the front wheel completely through.

What do you think would be the tallest height that could comfortably ride on this?

My 3 year old is 45 inches tall and has had no problem using it... and I have the seat backI guess in answer to the , "what 3 year old would be able to use it?"- the answer would be mine- and she is fine with the motor skills needed to operate it also Perhaps the company should put a height guidleline on it instead of age- but mine loves hers...

It is the back wheels that would give you trouble..too tall when bike on its side. Don't remove the front wheel because of the gear assembly.

I don't think it matters the wheel size as it mounts to the point on the axel where the wheel sets into the frame and the bracket at the base the tire resistance goes against adjusts up and down to match the tire also. I love mine so much got a second one so my wife can ride next to me in the winter time and on rainy days as I go way to fast for her to keep up on normal days. It is a great toll to help keep up exercise when the weather is not cooperating or you cant ride in the dark as the season changes and it get dark so early.

I would take the rear to a LBS and make sure the freewheel/ hub will accept it first. you may end up needing a wheel.

that height is fine, it depends more on foot size! :) My feet are US 13, and they didn't clear the cross bar at back of machine, so kept hitting it. See my notes on how to raise the platform up so bigger feet will clear it. I understand the more expensive one has corrected the problem. I'd get the more expensive one if at all possible, not worth the trouble to alter the cheaper one unless you got it at a steal. enjoy

I'm so sorry I complained about this company's inability to provide answers to my own questions, because now amazon shoppers are asking ME the questions. The wheel I bought is in a storage facility far from my home for future use and I am not willing to provide the answes to you question about the width. Kindly ask the ACE about their products, not me.

It's apx. 22" from the front wheel to wheel...I haven't had much trouble getting around with it, even with smaller doors. It is AWESOME outdoors and gives me sooo much more freedom!! I LOVE mine!! :-) Hope this helps a little anyway!?!

The wheels are large and can manage grass, but if the lead wheel might dip into an uneven hole it tends to tip forward, ok on paved surfaces... If one needs moderate support for balance maybe get one with four wheels.. The lowest height of adjustment is is handles at 30" from ground, probably fine for your height

I'd guess about 4". NOT the bigger wheels (that it should have). I'd rate it perfect for tall people (I'm 6'2") but the small wheels make it much less functional. All those with the 6" (or bigger) wheels don't have tall enough handles...good luck

Don't have it any more to measure it. It was quite large. Larger than ones you normally see. However, the wheel assembly was very difficult to figure out and the front ones fell off once and had to be redone. You are probably more adept at these things than I am and will have no trouble.

Contact the manufacturer to make sure, I bought one that the amazon site said would work, but when it came, there was a note that it would not work on any that had 19 inch wheels. The manufacturer told me that the Amazon site did not go into enough detail to make a positive determination. It cost me $35 to send it back.

Type "Adie Universal Stabilisers Extension Bolts For 12" - 20" Wheel Kids Bikes" into the Amazon.com search engine. They ship from overseas so it takes a while to get them. The extensions are an easy fix. A better but more difficult solution is to replace the rear axle shaft with a longer one. A 17 cm long shaft with 10 mm threads solved the problem on my grandson's 20" Huffy. Don't try this one unless you are mechanically inclined.

Hi Ronald. I haven't tried using a wheel that big, however I just measured the housing and it looks like that size wheel is too wide by about .100. Hope this helps.

A 700 (mm not cm) wheel is about 27"; try to find one in a store and see if it works for you.

Patricia, the wheel itself is very accurate, I've tested many of these at the factory and they all came in within and inch or two over 100ft. The errors you will have though will be from your surface or not judging the starting point and finish point accurately.

I am 4 '10 and it worked good for me. Not sure for you. It may be. However, the all terrain is pretty big.. like a trike, so the regular size might be taller but not as bulky as wheels may be not as wide. It is not as easy to use as it looks... I struggled a bit... it was hard on my knee. Still useful.. let me get some activity during the rough period.

It's perfect for my daughter, but she's small... Just over 5 ' tall. I think you'd be better off on a larger wheel.
