How short can a person be to ride this? I was looking at getting it for my son for his next birthday. He is large for his age (8) but no height info.

Hi we bought this for our son who is 7 with autism an he is pretty big but height wise at least 5 feet. I am 5'4 and fit on it perfectly!

I think if u put the seat in the position closest to the front it would be fine

I have 2 of the trikes and my 9 year old daughter loves them. I have another daugther that just turned 6, she is able to ride one but has some difficulty. I see no reason why your 8 your old, if he is bigger would have any problem.

The seat and handlebars will adjust a long way forward for a shorter person, without measuring the bike I would say a 3-4 foot tall person would have no problems riding the bike. It's a great bike! Strong,steady,well built, my 15 year old granddaughter loves it. She can ride a regular like but she can take this anywhere. Best money I ever spent on a riding item.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

I would say 18". Even if he has longer legs the 18" should be big enough. The 20" might just feel a little too big to ride comfortably

Well I guess that kinda depends on the child. My son rode it from 3 1/2 and he is 6 now. He can ride his own bike but he will still ride this with us on longer rides. The seat is adjustable in height. My son is of average height and weight. I will say that this has been great for us and easy to use

For those wondering about size, my 5 year old daughter rides it fine. Though a little shorter and it would be hard for her to ride. However she is a tall 5 year old (approx. 47") I would say anyone under 45" might be too short. And I don't see how many teenagers could ride it.

That's a tough question. I'm 170 and can ride it, but it's on the smaller side because it was designed for a kid so I'd say you're probably better off looking for an adult board.

I purchased this bike for my son. He is 9 years old and 52 inches tall. Sounds like your son is tall for his age, but this bike might be just a little too big. He might be better suited with a bike that has a 16 inch or 18 inch tire size. That brings the bike body a few inches closer to the ground. My son was riding an 18 inch up until he received this one as a gift.

Height is not adjustable. It's approx 25 inches from the footplate to the handle bar level. Our son is a 52" 10 year old and it suits him fine but much smaller kids in the street ride it fine too. You probably wouldn't want to be much taller.

Hi Makayla...we bought this for my son right before he turned 14 and he loved it. I don't know how tall you are but he is about 5 ft tall and my only concern was that he would outgrow it a bit quickly. I think he still rides it and enjoys it! Good luck!

That should be fine. I'm 5'7" and ride it. My son is about 5' tall and doesn't have any issues.

I'm 6'2". Handle height is fine for me. As for the child, he should be good. Have a daughter about the same size, and still riding like a champ in the thing! Hope this helps you.

We bought this for our then 2 year old. He is now 3. Our 6 year old rides it to with no problems. He's tall for his age and is 50 pounds. I hope this helps!!

I agree that it's not the weight that will be an issue (my husband and I have both taken a ride). The height will be the issue but not a huge one. I definitely wouldn't but it for an eight year old, but if you're buying it for a younger child, the eight year old could enjoy it also.

It's just the right size for my 4 year old boy. The weight limit is 65 lbs. My 8 year old daughter got on it and she was cramped on it. So if your son is on the smaller side he could maybe ride it for a summer or so! I would look at something a little bit bigger.

I bought it for my 8 year old grand daughter. In 70 years old. 5`3" tall and 130 lbs. We both have fun riding it.

I'm 5'-9". ...... When I ride it, I stand up unless in a straight away. It is to small for that height. My knees hit the handle bars and my feet are to big to operate it fully. I bought it for my 5 year old, she is now 7 and still fly's around on it. It is perfect for her size. But, 5'-9" is to big.

My son is 43" and 4 years old. He rides it just fine. ☺ The seat can be adjusted in heighth.
