What if you are under 5 feet, really under it? Can you still use the bike effectively?

The seat can be lowered so you probably can. Depends on how much under 5 feet you are

That is not a problem. I am 5'3" and there is still plenty of room to shorten the bike. It would probably accomodate someone who is shy of 5'.

At 6-4 this bike is far from ideal. You will have to extend the seat tube out beyond safe limit or you will be riding with too much bend in your knees at the bottom of your pedal stroke.

I have a question - Im shorter than all of you at 4'9". I recently spent an evening putting together a reclining bike only to find my feet went nowhere near the pedals even on the lowest setting! Reluctant to buy another one.. Any ideas?

I doubt it. It will ride the weight but wont ride well. At 6 feet you will feel pretty awkwArd. Its not a big bike. I would save this for the mature kiddos

yes. anyone over 6 feet might find this bike to be a bit small. in my opinion.

I would think so. I am short (5'4") and I have it on the lowest setting. It goes up quite a bit. I would say it is a very uncomfortable bike, however.

My wife is 5'3" and can get on it but is not confident riding it. The top of the seat at the lowest position is about 35" and the cross bar near the seat is 29" and arcs up to about 34 near the handle bars. I like the bike and use it to commute to work but it is fairly heavy and things happen when you are on the road. In those situations you really need to have the bike under your control. Hope this helps!

It can be done, although it's not necessarily the most comfortable pedaling. You'll definitely notice the lack of a larger platform under your foot, but I do it sometimes for short rides in a pinch.

No, this is for adults as a mode of transportation. It is a folding bike for bus traveling. I would not recommend this for anyone under 5 ft.

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 am 5'11" and My wife is 5'5" and we have no problems...it still has the range to move the seat closer or further. I can't answer for certain but it seems like it will work without issue. It is a great exercise bike...I use it every day...

No. My daughter is 5' and she can barely pedal even on the closest setting.

No I don't think so. I'm 5'8 and it's tight. Hubby is 5'11. He can ride too but he has shorter legs than me. It's a great bike, I just wish the seat went farther back.

I am 5'2 and have one. It it a stretch to reach the pedals. I have to wear shoes with a thick sole in order for my feet to make the rotation. I find that my back hurts after riding mine because it stretches me to an unnatural position while riding. I have even ordered another seat, which was very expensive, thinking that it might help. So NO, they don't take short people into consideration when building their bikes. If you could lower the seat, it would be ideal.

I am five feet, three and a half inches tall and we have the seat set at the next-to-lowest setting; in other words, I expect that set at the last hole it would be perfect for a slightly shorter person. It's a great bike: easy to use and easy to hide away in the closet.

Yes it would be good for 5'4". My daughters are about 5'1" and had to have the seat lowered all the way down. However if you do decide to buy this bike you most likely will be needing to take it to the bike shop for missing parts and adjustments. Both of my daughters bikes were missing crank washers so they couldn't be ridden until we had them fixed. They love them now though! Just keep that in mind.
