Can short people ride this comfortably? My wife is exactly 5ft tall.

Yes. In fact, the problem is with taller people -- at 5'10" I find the wheel too small. But my daughter is about 4'11" and my girlfriend's son is 5'3", and they both have no troubles.

I think 5'-0" is tall enough. The issue I have encountered with this unicycle is that being too tall is a problem. I have the seat extended almost as much as possible for my son and he is 5'-9".

I bought this for my 13 yo son who was about 4'10" Tall. It was lowered as short as it could go. However you can cut the seat stem with a hack saw for your wife since I assume she won't need it to be raised later. You will see that the stem will hit the tire if you lower it too far.

Yes--it really has nothing to do with how short or tall you are. A kid could ride this, but it's not easy! It takes a lot of practice to master it, and mounting and dismounting are quite difficult. All beginners, no matter what their height, will need something to hold on to at first, especially to mount.

I'm 5' 4" this is a very comfortable bike. I love it. I think your wife would enjoy it very much. I get so many compliments on it

My wife is 5'2" and she says that she wouldn't be comfortable if she was shorter. However I've seen much shorter girls ride this bike.Ideally you want the measurement of your inseam and not your height. You need an inseam of 28" (I believe) to be comfortable riding this bike. Good luck!

My wife is 5'4" and has no problem. However the machining of the parts on the bike I bought was poor, had to have bolts and bores modified.....

Yes, my wife uses it and she is about 5 ft. Bear in mind that it is just a temporary use seat and that it doesn't allow too much weight.

I am 6' 1" and my wife is 5' 3" and we are both very comfortable. I can't speak for outside those measurements but I would believe the bike will cover both less than my wife and more than me

I am 5'3 and have the seat on the lowest possible level. My feet barely touch the floor. It's not designed for short people. I don't think you should have a problem.

My answer would be yes.......my girlfriend is 5'3" and has her seat all the way down in order to ride. Her seat can be adjusted another5 inches taller to accommodate someone who is 5'7". Hope this helps.

Probably not. My wife is 5' 7" and she does not feel comfortable when the seat is a couple of inch higher than the minimum height.

I bought bike for my 5'6" wife, she has not used it yet. I am 5'8" and rode it a little. Seemed fine.

Yes the bike is very light and easy to ride. At 5.5 it should be perfect.I'm 5.10 and had to make several adjustments for my height. Only recommendation is to look into a more comfortable seat. It's a little uncomfortable on those longer rides

It depends on your wife.. I am also 5'6 and I have to get on my tippie toes to touch while on. Hubby says that's how it should be.. But I'd prob be more comfortable on something an inch shorter. :) hope that helps!

My wife is about 5'7" and there is plenty of room to adjust the seat for shorter people. It should work out ok unless her legs are really short.

My wife is 5'4" and says she doesn't have the seat all the way forward. It would likely be fine for someone 4'11".

I am 5'11" and My wife is 5'5" and we have no problems...it still has the range to move the seat closer or further. I can't answer for certain but it seems like it will work without issue. It is a great exercise bike...I use it every day...

My wife is 5'2 and its OK for her, I bought the same frame in a men's bike and I'm 5'8 so I think she'd be OK

My wife is 5'3" and I am 5'9". No problems. There is plenty of seat height adjustment. Mine is maybe 1/2 way.
