HI, does the seat raise higher for tall people in order to give more room between the knee and butt?

The seat does raise higher and thus there would be more room for one's calf under the butt seat, but the distance relationship between the butt pad and the knee pad doesn't really change, just the angle. In other words, when the seat is higher there is more room between the lower leg and the butt, but the knees remain in the same location.

The distance between the seat and the knee rest does not change as you elevate the seat---only the height of the seat changes. Also, understand that you will need additional padding under knees if you raise seat to max height, because primarily of weight placed on knees. I don't think now that this is a long term solution for sitting at a desk or computer station because it takes some getting used to, and is a little uncomfortable after an hour or so. I use it periodically during the day to create a variation of seating---don't expect to sit in this for 8 hours at a go. I don't think you will be able to do that!

My husband is 6 feet and found this chair quite uncomfortable. There is not enough room between the knee and the seat.

Yes, the seat does raise higher, and there's more room between the back of one's calfs and the bottom of the butt seat, but the distance relationship between the butt pad and the knee pad doesn't change, just the angle. In other words, when you raise the seat, there's more room for your lower legs under your butt, but your knees remain in essentially the same place.

It is higher than your normal beach chair. I don't have good knees so it is high enough for me that I it is comfortable to sit down and get up.

Yes, it raises the seat 4 1/2 inches. That's what it says on the box I have.

Yes seat adjusts to fit -- might not be as good if you are very tall but I have 34" inseam and it works for me at highest setting. Very sturdy.

Have they come out with a seat that can be raised higher for tall people? I read they were coming out with it soon. As soon as it's available I want to order.

I don't think so, I'm 5"11 and my legs start to hurt after a while with the seat all the way up, if the seat was a bit higher it would be a lot better

I really couldn't tell you. I am 5ft. 8 in. tall. I have the seat on the eighth hole from the top. There are 2 or 3 more holes to raise the seat up. The seat height should be fine but I couldn't tell if your knees would hit the handlebars.

In order for the sides to rise and perform properly, yes I would say it does. That would be to the level right under the rim. It's really not as deep as it sounds. I'm 5'1 and it doesn't even come up to my waist when in it.

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.

The seat has several adjustments. Im not very tall and it is perfect height. I would not recommend it for tall people.

Tough to say for certain... but I doubt it. I'm 5'9" (albeit with long legs) and I have the seat raised to the highest setting.

Yes you can adjust the seat forward and the seat post high or low. I have a medium size bike and I'm 5'5, I should order the small one but I got the medium and I ride ok, if you can order the small one, have a nice ride.

Yes the legs are adjustable, I am 5'7" and I am on the lowest level. Plenty of room to raise it up.

I would think so. There is a rise in the middle between legs.We love this chair, convienent and out of the way.

I seriously doubt it because the seat can only be raised up so high and I don't think it's going to work for someone this tall. Thank you.

Not really. My 6' husband 's legs extend over. But there is a larger model which works well for the tall guys. For us, one of each

No, but it swivels up and down to give some adjustment for people of differant heights.
