How complicated is it to adjust this bike for people of different heights to use? What is the procedure?

The lever raises the seat up and down. The knob under the seat releases it to slide forward and back . This is well made. Doesn't take up too much room.

Simple. Loosen a knob under the seat and the seat is easily adjusted between users.

I am almost 5'8" and the bike is almost too small for me. I can't exactly say how it would work for someone who is 5 feet tall. Sorry.

There are height variations available for the seat and desk top so I'm pretty certain that you could find an adjusment that is comfortable. We have had 3 six-foot individuals try the bike with my settings and they were pretty comfortable without any modifications.

Yes, the handle bar height can be adjust, and depend it on the height of the person.

You can adjust the height in 1" intervals by turning a thumb screw. Raise or lower the seat and tighten the thumb screw. No you have to get off the bike.

You can adjust this seat to any height you need...There are little holes to change the seat height...

My first response I mistakenly referred to my older daughters bike. My four ft tall daughter who rides this one has it at lowest..about 25.5 in from ground..ample room..but she won't let me raise it. A piece that fits in between the wheel which gives wheel clearence to move freely seems defective..that wheel sometimes gets stuck dragging. It was hard to assemble. We also positioned/rotated handlebars to the back..it comes pre set forward and its an easy adjustment.

The basic assembly was not too hard (handle bars, pedals, training wheels). Getting the brakes adjusted is impossible. I am taking it to a bike shop to get the brakes adjusted by a pro. This was frustrating to me because I am pretty good at building and fixing things.

Doesn't take long. However, if you're unfamiliar with bicycle assembly or at least comfortable with basic mechanical assembly, I'd have a shop assemble it for a fee so they can align everything and adjust the brakes and gears. It could be a safety issue if not assembled properly.

partially, you need to put on seat, pedals and adjust handlebars. Not too complicated. An allen wrench is a must!

I don't think you will have a problem. I am taller than you but this bike seat is adjustable to move up and down, as well as toward and away from the handle bars. I hope this helps you...

My bike came mostly assembled. I think all I had to do was put the handle bars and pedals on. And maybe a wheel. Don't actually remember. Everything was already adjusted though. And it anything is not to your liking, the manual explains how to adjust everything. Seat height and handle bar height are easy and that's all I changed. Gearing setting are probably the most confusing but mine was set perfect right out of the box. With all that being said, if I could do over again I would probably get a different bike. I got the Schwinn midmoor. I don't really dislike anything about it but If given the opportunity, I would try another brand or style of bike. Maybe something more "sporty". If that makes any sense. My wife loves hers and we go on long rides often. If you get if I'm sure you will like it. It is very comfortable. Hope I haven't confused your decision even more. Lol. Good luck.

Not that I remember but it is totally obvious how to fit them.Remove a few bolts change links replace bolts. What I would say is you need the bike as high as possible to make the job more accessible .I did it on a bike work bench.no problem.

There is height adjustment on the handle to make it comfortable for people of different heights. This machine is so easy to use.

i am 5' tall, and the bike did not adjust far enough for me ... i actually had to cut the adjustment bar as far as it would go, and I can barely reach ...

I can do it pretty easily... but I am a big guy. The biggest challenge is if the bike is on the side stand the angle is a bit difficult to navigate. It is very easy if someone stands and holds the bike vertical.

Hi, Madeline. Hope it's not too late to help. I got the Active 20 and the seat adjustment is the same as a higher-end Schwinn that my friend has. They both adjust forward and backward only, but the seats slide at a downward, somewhat shallow angle. So there's no true 'vertical' adjustment--but a slight vertical change when you slide it backwards and forwards. It may provide little consolation, but the nature of recumbent bicycles means that your height in relation to the ground becomes somewhat irrelevant, as the most important rule to follow is the distance between your hips and the pedals. As long as you're not hyper-extending your knees (legs entirely outstretched when your foot is on the pedal farthest away from you), bicycle manufacturers think that the location of the pedals isn't important, as long as they're not above your heart. I'm sorry if I couldn't help you. One more thing, it's also bad to have your legs so cramped that your pedaling brings your knees close to your chest.
