I am 6' tall, long legs. My bike frame is 60"/61" cm. I weight about 200lbs now. Would I be able to adjust the chair and not rest on my shins? Thanks!

I'm 6' tall, 195 lbs and I've used this chair with great success for a year. Unfortunately, I tend to lean back on it from time to time to give my legs a chance to straighten out, and the force of my weight on the back edge of the chair has caused the cheap plywood underneath to break a bit. Eventually it'll break completely, but frankly I don't mind having to buy one of these chairs every year. It has done wonders for my very sever sciatica issue that prompted me to get the chair in the first place. It's a good product and I'd recommend it, as long as your under 200 lbs. Works fine for people who are 6' tall. I'm 6' tall, 195 lbs and I've used this chair with great success for a year.

Hi , I bought this... I am 5 ft 5 in and 135 lbs lady. I love it except for one thing...the pad for the knees gives out in about a month and it is down to a hard surface... that hurts my knees and I end up looking for a way to repad it. Don't know how to fix that...wish the company would improve that point. other than that it's a GREAT Chair. I can sit it in for 8 hours straight! no back trouble.

The whole point of these chairs is to move the weight to your shins so that your back is not in the chair seated position. Resting on your shins is what helps reposition the back regardless of your height. I am 8" shorter than you, so I can't even play with the chair to test for your height, but the stool does go up two more knotches from where I have it. The thing about the higher position, though, that I don't think I'd like if I were taller is that the seat is much more on top of the leg rest. It might be toooo vertical for you. You might be better to get a higher end one that allows the knee rest to slide back and forth as well to prevent the vertical positioning, which would truly add to the pressure on your shins.

Hi - I'm at the opposite end of the scale @ 5'2". There's NO WAY you could sit on your behind on this chair. The angle of the seat is not adjustable. It's a great chair, but at your height, you'd be almost vertical. Or your feet would be under & behind the chair. Sorry, but keep looking!

I am 5'10" and am currently sitting on this chair...unfortunately, so are my shins. In other words, due to my height, my shins (not my knees)rest on the kneeling portion of the chair. Even with the chair's adjustable heights and cushioned padding, it may be difficult for taller people (5'10" and up)to sit at a standard table/desk (height) comfortably.

I am 5' 7" tall, and this bike is almost too big for me. When I sit on the saddle, my feet barely touch the ground. Consequently, I would think anyone shorter than me would find this bike too large.

I'm 5'5 female, about 190, and I have the medium frame (yellow/black). Technically this frame is too big for me, measuring from my foot to the apex of my inner thighs. The seat is adjusted as low as possible, also. I ride comfortably. Measure yourself from foot to inner thigh. When I got my bike, the box said the rider has to be a minimum of 33"--which I'm 32" with shoes on. It's a rather sturdy bicycle, and with the tires aired properly you'll feel like you're not even trying, so there's no worry about feeling like you're going to break it.

Hi,. I got this for my mom, and she is 87 5' tall.. After I took out of box,i did not have to adjust anything.. Meaning that the adjustments I think for someone, shorter it would work well for.. Love the chair, very easy to adjust and folding up easy, very lightweight. I would say yes for the price, this chair is well worth it.. Hope this helps, :)

You can adjust the seat. I am 5'7" and my husband is 6'1" and it works great for both of us. We love this bike!

There isn't a leg height adjustment for the chair, it does sit a little low though so as long as you could straddle it and feet touch the ground it will work. I am 5ft 4 and I think someone a lot shorter would be able to use it. I looks like you would just sit on it but the safest way to sit on it is to straddle it and use the handle as an arm rest.

The seat is not height adjustable. Putting a thick wheelchair cushion on the seat is a must. I am 6 ft 3 in and used the chair for transport with leg rest on and had no trouble even though I am quite a bit too fat for the weight limit on the chair. My wife is 5 ft 10 and uses the chair daily for her kitchen chores. Chair is quite well built for the price. The only cheap part is the arm covering

Yes. You are too big for this bike. I'm 6'3" and I have to move the seat all the way back. Even still, for max comfort, i really would like to move it back another inch or so.

The height is not adjustable. The seat is about 25 inches, maybe 26 off the deck. My 6' 3.5" husband sits in it. He is mostly tall in his legs. When we stop somewhere, he wants me to remove or swing away the footrests so that he can stretch his legs. When we're moving, he uses the footrests, and they are not unduly uncomfortable. Please note that this is a transport chair only. The person sitting in it can not reach the wheels or the brakes. Someone nees to be pushing.

I'm 6'2" 220lbs and the seat get high enough on the second to highest setting but the handle bars seem a little low on their highest setting for me. I do have some back problems and don't have much flexibility so that would be part of it. I would prefer the handle bar post were longer.

I am 5'2 and have one. It it a stretch to reach the pedals. I have to wear shoes with a thick sole in order for my feet to make the rotation. I find that my back hurts after riding mine because it stretches me to an unnatural position while riding. I have even ordered another seat, which was very expensive, thinking that it might help. So NO, they don't take short people into consideration when building their bikes. If you could lower the seat, it would be ideal.

No, the seat is not adjustable. I think I would look for something that is more specific to your height.

I am much taller than that but the bike is quite adjustable and you should have no problem making it work

I am 5'1 and this bike does not work for me. I have it at the lowest seat position and still have a straight pointed leg. My husband loves his but it's useless for me.

Maybe ..... The seat lowers quite a bit but u may have some trouble. It is a good bike. I enjoy it. (But I'm 6'4)

You can set the bike to where you are leaning over on the handlebars or set it where you are sitting pretty much upright without have to reach far for the handlebars. I believe you would be ok with this bike if you adjust the seating position to where you are sitting upright.

Jay, I am 6'4" with a large frame and had knee replacement surgery in Oct 2013. I was having trouble finding a bike that was reasonable priced and could handle the leg length. I read some reviews and decided to take a chance on the bike. I extend the seat all the way out and it is fine. It would be nice to have another slot to move back but is adequate for my rehab/ exercise. Positives are it is easy to put together and is very quiet. I can ride it in the exercise room and you can not hear it in operation outside the room. Some comments have been made about the display being difficult to see but I find it adequate for my needs. It is a dated design but if you want things in color you will have to pay a couple hundred bucks for a upgrade. Good luck and hope this helps.
