Is there any downside for someone who is less than 5' tall?

Nope! It seems to work better for shorter people (unless the tall person has a very tall desk!). I'm 5'4" and it works great for me & my shorter co-workers.

The only possible problem is that the rear leg of the DeskCycle is 15 inches wide. This will prevent it from fitting between the legs of some office chairs. If your legs won't reach the pedals, first see if lowering your chair will solve the problem. If not, then contact us we can send you a shorter leg that will fit between your chair legs.

It's probably better to be shorter to use this, so your knees don't hit the table. The only problem may be that your legs aren't long enough for the full range of motion, but you can fix that by just moving your chair closer imo

cannot think there would be. You set where you place your chair. Short legs might be an advantage because you wouldn't hit your knees on the desk

None that I can see. You can adjust the height of your chair to your comfort zone.

I don't know.... I am 5'11"... I suppose you would need to perhaps have a chair or sitting arrangement lower and closer to the pedals.

buy it. I agree with the others. Probably an advantage in this case. Will make using the DeskCycle easier

I'm 5'4" and have a little room to play, so I'd think you'd be ok. I did have to get a different seat for it--the one that comes with it was pretty hard for my toleration.

Although I am only 5'4", I had a friend that would use my elliptical on occasion. He is 6'2" and never had a problem. Hope this helps!

I'm a novice but only 5'7" tall and pretty small all over (and a man). It is fine for me. Henry

No, I am only 5'3" and my son is under 5' and we both use it comfortably. Just don't install the chest support.

Although the student this was bought for is about 5'8" tall, I don't see any problems with a shorter person using it. She is very pleased with it.

I am 5'11'' and with the seat at the lowest setting this bike is perfect for me. If you're comfortable with the bars being slightly lower than the seat (which is the recommended position), then this bike will suit your height with no problem.

I'm 5'1 & it works well for me. I've only had it for a few months but enjoy it very much.

I can't say for certain, as I am fairly tall, but I believe a shorter person might have trouble. The back section is quite long, and even on me it would bunch up and get uncomfortable. But maybe that would not be the case with a shorter person? I'm sorry, that wasn't much help :/

No cons that I can tell... I bought it for my son he is 6'5 and weights 235... you will love it.

I am only 5'2" so, obvi. it's fine for me but yea.. it is on the smaller side. Someone who has about 6" on me might be snug or not have enough leg room.

I am 5'4" and find that it is the perfect height for me. For someone who is tall you would probably find it too low.

This is not an accurate statement. I am 5'10" and have no issue. My son works out on it and he is less than 5'. The only issue may occur if the individual is "too tall", as the feet may drag on the deck.

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.

I'm 5'5" and love it. Not sure about adjustments, etc... sorry can't be more help, tho I don't see a big problem.

Yes, that'd be no problem. It seems to be built for average and shorter people. I'm 5'7" and I have it on the farthest out setting.

i dont think so. I'm 5'8 and my legs barely reach the ground with the seat low.
