Is a 24" wheel suitable for me if I am 6'4" tall? I am a beginner (actually, thinking of becoming one).

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.

Definitely, I'm 6' even and I can ride comfortably on a 20" even with the seat all the way down and I can adjust the 24" to the point where my feet can't touch on the down swing, you should have no problems.

We saw many weight guidelines, rather than height when we purchased this unicycle. The 24" would likely be a good fit if your inseam is longer than 32" but again, check the weight guidelines as well

You might have to cut the seat post to reach the pedals on a 24", my wife is a bit taller and can't reach with the seat all the way down. She fits nicely on a 20" though, so that's an option as well.

Hi Leon,I think you'll enjoy this bike. I'm 6'2" and are very comfortable, plus the seat is adjustable. I hope this is helpful. Enjoy, Mark

I ride a Torker myself, and I'm 5"10 and 140. I would go for the 20 inch wheel, because it will give you a good amount of control.

Possibly if you are looking at the 24". I love mine!!! I am about 5'2", but don't think it would work for someone much taller. You should be able to contact the parent company at: beachbikes.com. I'm sure they can help- they are very nice and helpful!

Would be best bet. 16 too small and 24 too difficult to learn on. 20 will provide most use for 4' 11". Small enough for tricks, big enough for some touring around the neighborhood.

It really don't matter.. Might as well aim for the 24 jic, but wheel size is irrelevant if you get the seat height proper (comfortable).

I think that depends on what the rider wants. A smaller wheel gives you better acceleration and control. If you are tall you might want to go with the 26 in for more comfort.. again, it depends what you will be doing with your bike.. mine is a 24 in.. I am short it works for me and gives me all the comfort I want in a bike.. after all you are not mountain climbing with a tricycle..

Hi, Bought these for my twin grandsons this summer and sorry to say, they are now 42" tall and still need the training wheels because they cannot reach the ground when on the seat. They learned to ride on balance bikes but these bikes are too big. If I had it to do over I would go with the 12". Hope this helps.

You're riding on street right? I would assume since you're looking for a road bike. I owned one for awhile. When I first got it, the rim was bent, contacted amazon, the shipped a new bike out and told me to take what I needed and ship it back. If you're tall, it may be a little to small. I'm 5ft 11 and it was fine for me. The only issue is the pedals are kinda low, so if you take a sharp turn and your foot is extended all the way your pedal will hit the asphalt. If I were you, I would save up extra $$ and get a better bike. It's a decent bike but you spend a few hundred more and get a lot better bike.

No! That is why I returned this- I'm about 5'6 and kept kicking the wheels. I would get the next step up! So worth the extra $50!!

I'm 6'0" and able to use this bike semi comfortably. I don't think your height will make it uncomfortable you. It would be more difficult for taller riders.

Probably too late, but thought I'd chime in. I am 6'4" and 270. I just bought this and I fit fine. Both the handle bars and the seat adjust for height as well as forward/backward, so there are numerous combinations for fit and ride style. And it's heavier than you think! Even at my size, it's a very stable ride. The only movement is in the handle bars ... Four screws secure the handle bar to the frame, but because the forward/backward adjustment just has a single rod to adjust and tighten, there is slight play when you grip the bar.

I don't have experience with this particular wheel, but if you're 250 pounds, I would look at buying a wheel with a higher spoke count. This wheel is 32H and you should be looking for something around 36H. Here's an example: (don't have experience with this one either) http://www.amazon.com/Dimension-Road-Shimano-Tiagra-Silver/dp/B009367ABY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385325816&sr=8-1&keywords=700c+road+bike+wheel+36h More spokes, less stress on each individual spoke. Just to point you in the general direction.

The 18" should bd fine.or 16".With a bigger wheel you pedal slower, which requires more balancing skill.i have read the hours to get competent are about 50 or more, compared to 1 hour for a bicycle. Takes a lot of patience.

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

Most likely you will be able to ride it, but it may not be comfortable. If you are just learning, the small size may make learning more difficult. I think you would be better off buying a 20 in wheel.
