This was posted on the Schwinn Website for the Schwinn 460. It was answered by one of their CS Reps. Q: I am 5'10". How high does my ceiling need to be to operate this unit? Asked on 2/7/2011 by Andy from MN Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer CUSTOMER CARE A: The maximum height of the pedal is 22.5 inches from the floor, so you can add that to your height to determine your minimum ceiling height ---------------------- So the gentleman would need 92.5 inches = 7 feet 8 1/2 inches of ceiling height. That is pretty tall ceiling in a bedroom.

We have one for my almost 3 year old boy about 35-37 " tall and my other almost 5 year old about 44" tall both use with out a problem. I just bought the bike for my nephew who is also almost 5. Hope that helps

Well, mine is 31" & I use the lowest setting, so nothing less than that. My husband is 6'-1", and he's comfortable on the bike.

that height is fine, it depends more on foot size! :) My feet are US 13, and they didn't clear the cross bar at back of machine, so kept hitting it. See my notes on how to raise the platform up so bigger feet will clear it. I understand the more expensive one has corrected the problem. I'd get the more expensive one if at all possible, not worth the trouble to alter the cheaper one unless you got it at a steal. enjoy

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'.

Hi J.To be honest I'm not quite sure...I can say that I'm 6' tall and the seat is around my hips...the bike fits me well and is extremely similar to the schwinn prelude (I believe their the same bike in different colors honestly), the prelude just has more information on it..hope that helps! (oh, also, the bike's been great so far)

The Schwinn 120 had a straight pedal post where the user could easily hit his foot or ankle while pedaling. The pedal post of the 170 is offset, moving the foot and ankle further away from the potential contact point. My wife and I have been using the 170 almost daily for the past 2-3 months and have never hit our feet or ankles.

The standover height for this bike is 26 inches - measure your inseam to see if you'll clear the bike

I am 6 feet exactly and the bike was on the borderline of being too small, even with the seat as high as it would raise. I would look elsewhere.

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.

No. I'd say that's the perfect height for this bike. My kid is 44 inches tall and still loves this bike over his regular bike with pedals. I highly recommend this bike, it taught my kid how to balance on a bike in less than a week!

Ya I'm 6 foot and it is just a little tall for me. Only problem I had with the bike are the brakes the front brake is crooked so it doesn't line up properly. And the rear brake rubs against the rim no matter how wide you make it I had to make my own adjustments. But I could never get the front brake to work properly.

Should be fine but you are at the top end of the height spectrum for this bike.

Hi Linda I see you posted in April 2010 so this reply is probably too late, but it may help other users. I am only 5", and I bought the Schwinn 230. No problems with reaching the pedals; it works like a dream!

Not sure. I'm 5'10 and it works great. You might be a bit too tall. However, this is a great bike, especially for the price.

Try standing while straddling the bar, you do not want your privates to touch the bar.Seat height should be set so that when your at the bottom of the stroke, your leg is almost straight.Judging bike size when standing still on one foot and sitting on the seat is a mistake.

There is more than enough clearance. I rotate our cranks all the time with bike upright on the stand. Plenty of room. Nice stand too, well made & sturdy.
