What is the distance from the ground to the top of the seat, set at it's lowest setting? Will this bike be too tall for a boy 3' 8" tall?

we got this bike for our son on his 7th birthday, in december. i'm not sure of his exact height... he's slightly tall for his age but not unusually so. it was on the lowest setting until just this weekend, when i noticed his knees were coming up a little high. up until then the lowest was just fine. ...hope that helps.

It is around 20 inches and it suits my 5 year old who is around 3'5" just fine.

I am 5'3 and my son is 4'4, both of us ride this bike and we love it. It is sturdy and the seat is comfortable, too. However, the handle bar height is NOT adjustable, but both of us have no problem with it.

The bike is short to the ground - we purchased for my son for his 3rd birthday and it does help for it to be low to the ground as the feet have to do all the work. There is a big difference between the 12" to 16" but the 16" will definitely last him longer. My son is in 3T clothing and the 12" bike is a good size for him. If your grandson is bigger - I would probably look at the bigger bike that he will grow into?

I bought this bike for my daughter who is 4'8". She finds it a little big with the seat in its lowest position.

No, mine was about 33 inches tall when we bought it and he rides it like a champ. I highly recommend this bike, my 5 yr old rode it for a bit too- after a short time he jumped on his bike and took his training wheels off.

The bike is adjustable, but I'm not sure to what height. I am 5'7" and I was able to adjust it perfectly for my height.

Good question. I never took the trouble to actually measure the lowest seat height because I already had to use a higher setting for my 3 year old grandson. I can't say that the actual height conforms to the description or not. Maybe it was an advertising typo.

This bike is for people 5'8'' or taller. You need to be 5'7'' at least to have your foot on the ground on tiptoe.

The bike is a little big for my 13yr old who is approximately 5'. The seat is adjustable so it shouldn't be a problem for 5'8". It is a nicely made bike. My daughter loved it.

I'll measure for you tonight to be precise. However we bought for my then 7 year old daughter who is tall (51") when we bought it and needed it to be lowest setting possible. The issue we had with lowest setting is that the banana seat slopes and is not very comfortable. She did not like it at first but got used to it. With a year of growth it is now the perfect bike and we'll get 2 more years before she is ready for her next bike. HTH

It's not very tall at all. I would say mine probably is no taller than 3 inches off the ground.

Not at all. My son got this for his 3rd birthday and even with the seat at its lowest setting, the tips of his toes are all that he can reach the ground with. I'm not sure exactly how tall in inches he is, but the seat has several height settings.

I'm 5' 7" and I find this bike to be a very comfortable ride. I have the seat, which I replaced in the lowest position. While sitting on the seat, legs straight, feet parallel to the floor, I almost touch. The top of the peddle is 7"from the floor while in the lowest position. Their is a reasonable chance you will fit. I will tell you unsolicited, I am extremely happy with this bike. I ride it 20 miles a day in warm weather and I still have the original tires on it. I hope I've answered your question. I will be glad to answer more questions if you have. Best of luck.Thom

No idea on what distance you want but the bottom of the yellow frame is 3.5 inches from the ground.Rich

The bottom of the handlebars were about 24.5-25" tall depending on what part of the handlebars and the top of the seat on ours was set at 18" but is adjustable. My daughter easily used it right when she turned four.

18.5 inches. I bought it for my son's 3 birthday and we never had the seat in lowest setting and he is average size.

I bought this bike for my 8 year old. He will be able to ride it for a couple more years. He is average height.
