Will this bike get short enough for my wife who is 5 ft. tall?

While I am 5'2", I recently had knee surgery, my doctor suggested that I make it short as possible to force the knee into bending as much as possibe, that produced a really sharp bend (pain) I am sure your wife will be quite comfortable with last setting. It has been instrumental in my recovery.

I am 5' 3", and it fits me fine. My husband put it together, and I know there are several bolts that can extend it or shorten it. I'm not sure which setting it is on. I would say yes it should work because when I ride it, it doesn't feel like I'm really stretching to reach the pedals.

Yes. The 9 year old I care for can ride it with the setting in the lowest holes. I'm 5'4" and I use the 3rd. hole.

Yes, it's adjustable in the length from the sit to the peddles. So you can set it where it's most comfortable for you.

I am 5'5" and the bike is perfect for me. Even had to raise the seat, so I would say it would not be an issue with your height. However, the bike is longer and on the heavy side, it is one of the bigger bicycles I have purchased, so just be aware of that. But your height shouldn't be an issue, the seat can be adjusted to sit pretty low.

I`m only 5'9 and wife 5'2 We don`t have any problems with bike although I did upgrade seats for more comfortable ride. You may have to get longer seat post but other than that you shouldn`t have any problems. Do play with the gears to get used to them as it is dual drive, and communicate changes with each other.

Probably not. My wife is 5' 7" and she does not feel comfortable when the seat is a couple of inch higher than the minimum height.

I am 5'11 and my wife is 5'3. The bike fits us perfect. It may be a bit small for you.

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 5'5" 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.

I'm 5'5 and my husband had to raise the seat for me. It is a regular size bike if you fit well on one of them than you should be alright with this one.

My wife is 5' 4" and the bike works great, the only adjustment I had to make was an additional hole in the seat bar to make the seat lower.

I am 6 foot and my wife is 5 foot 7 and the seat is adjustable so I don't think height would make a difference.

Probably not..I'm 5'6" and my bike is 53cm..I have ridden this bike and its too short in the stride even with the seat all the way up.

Yes, I got this bike for my daughter who is 5'-2" and it's a good fit for her.

I am 5'8'' and have the seat up as far as it will go so I expect it would be fine for someone shorter. Try out a bike of similar size if you have doubts.

Yes. My ten year old 55" daughter rides comfortably with the seat at a low height. This may be the last bike she needs unless she grows more than another foot.

This will be perfect for you. My wife is pretty much the same height and she loves this bike.

I think so; my wife is 5' 5" and she sets it about half way. It gets pretty small. I'm 6' 2" and I'd like the handle bars to adjust higher so if anything it's on the small side.

My opinion is that this bike might be too small for her. I am 5'6" and I would not want it any smaller. I have long legs and have adjusted the seat way up, so it's OK for me. It's a great bike, but it is on the small side.
