Terry my dad is 86 and has bone on bone, his knee and he rides this 30 minutes in morning and 30 minutes in evening. he has neuopathy and uses a walker and doesn't seem to have trouble getting on or off. I measured it is 19 1/2 inches from floor to top of seat. The handles are very sturdy, the bike is very good quality and the price on amazon was a $100.00 cheaper and free shipping and arrive 15 days before Christmas. I give this a 5 star

I just laid a measuring tape on it. It is 20 inches from the floor to the top of the seat

It's between 18 and 19 inches off the floor. It sits at about the same height as my sofa. Which makes it nice, like I'm lounging. LOL.

I had to get rid of my other bike for that very reason. It sat too low after my 2nd spinal fusion. This one sits 18 1/2 " from the floor. I measured other chairs in my house and they are the same height. So if you can get off a chair you should have no problem.

You could lower it knee level I believe. I have never put it that low but I think you could.

My husband is 6 foot tall, but uses the cushion because of his bad hip. So I guess it really depends on how cushy you need it. I am 5'3 myself and would probably just order the 4." He does like the cushion and we take it where he has to sit in low seats, theaters, etc. that don't have much height or padding. So, if you have really low seats you sit in and are using the cushion to add extra height for sitting and or more cushy on the tushy then maybe order the 6" one. I don't know, really is lifestyle and how much cushion you need?

I'm 6' 2" and there seems to be a fair amount of additional seat adjustment after setting it for me. However, you are correct in being concerned about sizing. I've been using mine a great deal not just for exercise but to recuperate from operations on both legs for total knee replacements. I generally log at least fifteen minutes a day with resistance set to max. By the way, this machine does not have a computer program that can vary the resistance for uphill and downhill, and even at its max setting the resistance is not all that much. However, it has been an ideal machine for me. If you can find one to try that would be best. I would assume that most of the inexpensive bikes are of similar quality.

Hi. The highest point (behind knee/lower thigh) is about 17" from the floor. My butt is at about 15". I'm 5'8" and wife is 5'6" and it's very comfortable for us. Hope this helps. GR

It's not very high from the floor to seat is 17 inches, (0tomon measures the same ) From floor to the top is 39 inches are looking to purchase this for someone who has difficulty getting in to a chair, this may be goodEasy assembly, I was able to do it myself. My husband is a major procrastinator and I want things done yesterday so I decided to try to do this myself. Just follow the directions and I think in less than an hr. it was done

I JUST put mine up in the attic so I cant't personally check it. But this range was listed in the description. I'm 5'8". It was GREAT to have! I had a big toe fusion on Oct 30 and had to be non weight bearing for 11 weeks! It was so helpful. I'd say bend your knee straight back and have someone measure the distance to the floor to see if it's in the range listed below. Good luck to you. Knee Support Height Range: 17" - 22.5"

I am also heavy with moderate knee problems. Although I do not have back issues,I was able to sit and get up with little problem. The seat seamed high enough for me. The rated maximum weight is 225 lbs, I am around 250 and it held up just fine. It was a great help when I visited my grandchildren in camp and needed a place to rest after much walking on rough terrain .

Is it a comfortable sitting height? I have an old knee fracture so curious if it is easy to get off of, since it doesn't have arms. Thanks

Yes my knees hit and I'm only 5'3". No way to fix it, just ride with your knees sticking out. It definitely effects how you ride but you get used to it. You cannot make fast or sharp turns. My handle bars can't even turn all the way cause they then hit my knees. But I still LOVE this seat. It is so comfy for my 2 yr old and I'm more comfortable with him in front of me.

I am not sure but I am 5' 10" and it came to my knee. I found it easy to get up from, and I have arthritis in my knees.

I have back problems and is hard to get out of low chairs. This chair is high enough to get up without help. I am 5'7" and the seat comes to bend of knee. Higher than normal. I love my chair. Everyone that sees the chair orders them one. Fit perfect in the sports wagon.

The description says there is a weight limit. I would pay attention to it. I'm about 200 pounds and it feels sturdy and comfortable when I sit on it but I would not test it if I were heavier and risk more injuries. Also, this would be considered a low seat unless you are very short. I am 5ft 8 Nd it can be difficult to stand up when my ankle is stiff. Hope this helps.

Depends mostly on your foot-to-knee measurement. I am 6 feet tall, from foot to knee is about 24 inches. I have it raised to max heighth and manage to just squeeze in under the knee pads with my feet on the foot supports. That being said - the pads rest on your knees, so long as you are able to get it lifted initially it really doesn't matter, you can maybe squeeze in from the sides or something. Ideally it would have one more hole to go up one more level, but it doesn't.

There is a short-two minutes, maybe?-'thigh dancing' segment where you are sitting on your heels and using your thighs to lift you into the moves; knees remain on the floor but it's the thighs that bear the brunt of the stress. Throughout both the thigh and some of the butt segments, you stand on tip toes with your heels touching and your toes separated into a three or so inch 'v' for many of the exercises. This position helps to target the thighs and will stress your knees if they are succeptible to that type of downward strain. However, I have problems with my left knee and if I'm careful, I can do all of the exercises with no problems. There is no direct knee to floor contact unless you need to do push-ups or tricep push-ups on your knees (even these are not direct knee to floor positions, they're 'off-set). I lift weights and do HIIT cardio on a regular basis, and have done MANY different workout programs, but no workout has 'fine-toned' and lifted my body like Physique 57 does. If your knees are such that you can do this workout if you're conscientous about your knee, I strongly recommend it; if your knees are injured or really succeptible to injury, try one of the workouts online for $5 and see if it works for you. (The online option at physique.com is awesome for traveling as well). Hope this helps!

Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure. I am not a doctor however I will share my sons experience. My son was born with a severe club foot that required 3 surgeries to correct at 14 months old. He is now 26 years and has been suffering with arthritis for about 4 years. I originally bought this for myself and he had asked me if I thought it could help him. I was not sure if it would so we gave it a try and it did! He said that it works great for him. I now see that there are pads available on Amazon. I will be buying some here. (The unit wants you to purchase replacements from China. I did not feel comfortable doing that). Best wishes to you. Cheryl
