I am only 4' 9" in height. I really need to know if I will be able to reach the pedals. Has anyone my height purchased this bike? Thank you.

Depends on how long your legs and body are. I know someone who is 5' 10" and rides this bike. If you can get the seat up high enough for longer legs, and the reach doesn't feel to short for your body length. Always best to be able to try a bike, or know the size that fits you best, but sometimes we gamble a bit! I find that some bikes feel better than others, regardless of size.

I would not recommend this bicycle for someone of your size based on height alone. It is definitely too small. I absolutely love this bicycle, but I am 5'9" and my seat is maxed out on the highest setting. Hope this helps.

I can tell you this, I think you are too large for this bike. I am 6 feet tall and I think it is too short in the legs. I cannot get the full extension I would like but it is ok for me just to get around

The seat adjusts. I just measured the distance from the front of the seat to the pedal in the "up" position when pedaling and it measures 37/38 inches from the front of the seat. I am only 5' 10" and can not reach the pedals when the seat is all the way back. Hope this helps. My wife and I both love the "bike".

I just got this bike and it works for someone who is 4'11". I can fully pedal while sitting properly in the chair (on its lowest setting) and have no issues holding onto the handlebars. I think those shorter than me would find it difficult to reach the pedals comfortably.

My wife is 5' 4" tall and based on where I have the seat adjusted for her, I would say someone who's as short as 4' 6" could comfortably ride with the seat adjusted down to the lowest position. If your not counting on them to provide much pedal power they could probably be even shorter.

My son is 34" tall, and he cannot reach the pedals yet. The seat is adjustable, and we have it on the shortest of the 3 available settings.

I just tried this bike, and didn't buy it because it doesn't go far enough for people as short as me. I am 4'11" and the bike didn't go far enough -- as Anita also said, you'd have to cut the adjustment bar and drill a new hole for the peg to make the bike work for someone shorter than 5'.

At 5'1" I would say this bike is not the right fit for you. I am 5'4" and my feet do not lay flat on the ground when stopped and sitting on the seat. I have to tilt the bike slightly to the side when stopped at red lights or be on my tip toes. The seat is all the way down already, so there is nothing further I can do besides wear a shoe with a heel.

Mine is 38" tall and he can reach the pedals just fine. But I'd say if your child is less than 36" tall he/she may have some trouble reaching.

I'm 5' 7" and I find this bike to be a very comfortable ride. I have the seat, which I replaced in the lowest position. While sitting on the seat, legs straight, feet parallel to the floor, I almost touch. The top of the peddle is 7"from the floor while in the lowest position. Their is a reasonable chance you will fit. I will tell you unsolicited, I am extremely happy with this bike. I ride it 20 miles a day in warm weather and I still have the original tires on it. I hope I've answered your question. I will be glad to answer more questions if you have. Best of luck.Thom

I am 5'1" and it works great for me. I do not have the seat at the lowest level.I am very happy with this bike.

Hi Eunice,It isn't really about height, but about leg length. With the machine at the closest setting, it is about 24 inches from where your leg would start to the end of the pedal, so if your leg is 24 inches or longer from the upper thigh to your toe, you should be able to adjust the bike to the point you can comfortably pedal the bike. Hope this helps.r/Jim

I'm 5' 3" and while it does fit, it makes me uneasy. I have the seat at the lowest setting and would like it to be another inch lower. I have to jump off a bit awkwardly when coming to a stop. My tip toes barely hit the ground causing me to not feel stable or very safe if I needed to stop suddenly. That being said, I do like the bike so far and am still getting used to all the speed settings. I haven't ridden a bike in over 25 years and it's quite different using the handlebars to switch speeds. It's also a beautiful bike! :)

My daughter is 4' 8" and the bike might even be a little small for her. My wife is 5' 5" and rides a full size women's cruiser. So, I'd say that this bike is too small for you.

While the quality of the bike is excellent, I am disappointed since I cannot ride it! It is described as being for people as short as 4' 7", but at 5' it is still too tall for me! Maybe your wife's extra two inches will make it usable for her. It cost me an additional $50 to have it assembled. I would be happy to sell my unused bike to you . . . it's in excellent condition!
