I'm very short (5'1) with short legs. What's the distance to the ground when the seat is as low as it can go?

You can ride this bike because you can lower the seat. However, the handle bards cannot be lowered so you have to be comfortable in a more laid back position.

Hi,Jan; I am shorter than 5' too and 17-18 " from the floor is a perfect position for this chair. Put small pillow on the back too.It will keep you straight. Natalia Chapin

I'm 5 foot 5 and it is perfect with the seat as its lowest. I imagine if you adjusted the seat you would ride just fine.

It will dip down a little in the center. If you're referring about distance from the seat to the floor (which is what I understand), the lowest point would be about 16 or 16 1/2"; from the outside of the seat to the floor is 18". So where your legs are likely to be would probably be closer to 17" from the floor.

I am 5'4" and have the seat at the highest height of 16" from floor. It can go down to be as low as 12". Nice and sturdy with slightly angled legs.

I am also built close to the ground. App. 4'11"". My feet touch the ground. I really enjoy my chair. I have taken many a nap in it. I am 73 yrs. young. Very comfortable rocker. Hope this is helpful.

I'm not sure on the lowest height. My husband is 5'11". I know that at 5'4" I have no problems using it.

I am 5 foot tall and have the seat down as far as it will go. I can not use a gel seat as it raises me up too much.

I am 5'5" and have the seat as far down as it will go. I have short legs so it's hard to say whether someone 5'2" could use it comfortably. My knees don't straighten out all the way if that's any help to answering your question. It may also be possible to put small blocks on the pedals if that would help. I love the bike and use it 20 minutes a day at about 10mph. Have put 123 miles on it already.

the lowest part of the seat is 15 inches above ground. The elastic ties holding the canvas seat to the frame would make it even lower when you sat down. this may make it too difficult for you to get up out of the chair.

My daughter is 5'0" with short legs and she rides it in position 1 comfortably. I'm 5'6" and ride in position 5.

I bought this in July. I'm only 5 inches taller than you & it's plenty low enough for me. Maybe a little lower than I would like even, but overall I love it...so I don't think it should be a problem. Hope this helps.

I'm 5'2" with a short torso, and the lower back support is great. I have the back rest as low as it will go and have to sit completely back against it. However, the seat pan is shallow enough that my short legs easily reach the foot rest when I'm sitting against the back rest.

From top of the seat cushion to the floor is 16 inches. I am 5ft 3in with short legs and my feet comfortably touch the ground. I think this is the lowest setting. Highly recommend this well constructed chair for both comfort and durability.

i dont think so. I'm 5'8 and my legs barely reach the ground with the seat low.

At its highest point, the seat measures 20 inches from the floor. I'm a 5'7" guy, and my heels don't touch the ground when I'm sitting all the way back and the chair is fully up. It is about 16.5 inches at its lowest point.

no too low your legs wont fit under the desk unless you have a VERY short chair
