Size
All of our trike models are adjustable for leg
length over a wide range of sizes but they do
have limits just like conventional bicycles. This page will help to show you how the adjustment works.
If you are around average height and weight then
you can ignore this page as our trikes will fit you just fine.
Leg Length
(X-Seam)
The first thing to do is to check your leg length.
Because you will be sitting on the trike in a
recumbent position the distance from your back
(where you press against the seat) and your feet
is the distance you will need to measure. We will
call this your X-Seam but please be aware that
our definition may be different from the convention
so it is best to check your measurement using
the following method:-

1. Place some books or a suitable
object against a wall and then sit pressed up
against the object with your knees flat to the
floor as shown in the picture above.
2. Measure from the books or object
to your heels (without shoes on) - this is your
X-Seam measurement. Measure in inches or if you
measure in cm then divide the result by 2.54 to
get inches. Round up or down to the nearest inch.
The following table shows how suitable our trikes are for your X-Seam.
