Simple Step Thru E Bike Sizing for Riders 4'11" to 6'3" - Step Through Electric For Easy Mounting

Hey everyone. I'm Dustin, CEO of sixthreezero, and today we're going to do a sizing video with our simple step-through electric bike, and we've got riders from 5' to 6'2", and we're going to show you how they fit on this e-bike and how we can custom adjust it to their body height and weight. Stick around. Okay. I'm here with our first rider, our 4'11" rider. What was your name?

Brynn: Brynn.

Dustin: Brynn. What's your arm length and inseam? 

Brynn: My arm length is 17 inches and my inseam is 29 inches.

Dustin: 29 inches. How much do you weigh? 

Brynn: I weigh 105 pounds.

Dustin: Okay. If you want to try to step on and see if you can fit on the bike. Okay. So you can see with Brynn, she can't get her feet down. Now can you get on your tippy toes on your right foot at all? 

Brynn: Yeah.

Dustin: Little bit. Okay. So we have the seat already in the lowest position and the handlebars could go a little bit lower, but actually, the handlebars don't look bad for where she is, so she could maybe make it work if she's athletic and this is okay for her. Ideally, I think for a 4'11" rider, we'd have the seat be a little lower. So let's go ahead and move up to our five-foot rider and see if it's a fit for them.

Okay, now we're here with our 5' rider. What was your name? 

Sandy: Sandy. 

Dustin: Sandy. Sandy, how long are your arms and what's your inseam?

Sandy: 19 inches and 28.5.

Dustin: 28.5. How much do you weigh?

Sandy: I'm 120.

Dustin: 120. Okay. If you want to go ahead and try to step on it. Okay. So not too bad. How do you feel? Do you feel okay, comfortable? A little too high?

Sandy: It's a little bit too high.

Dustin: Can you get your right foot down when you're on the seat? Can you put your right foot down on the ground? So she's barely up on her tippy toes. Again, for 5' riders, you can see what's interesting is Sandy actually has a shorter inseam than our 4'11" rider, but maybe has longer legs, so she's able to almost fit. She's up on her tippy toes. Everything else is adjusted pretty well. So my recommendation for Sandy or someone 5', it's going to be on the border. If you have an inseam I would say 30 and above or 29 and a half and above, you'll probably be okay. Anything less than that, you're going to be on your tippy toes. She could make it work, but to be safer, a little shorter would be ideal.

So let's move up to our 5'1" rider. Okay, now we're here with our 5'1" rider. What was your name? 

Teresa: Teresa. 

Dustin: Teresa. Teresa, how long are your arms and your inseam? 

Teresa: My arms are 22 and my inseam is 30.

Dustin: 30. How much do you weigh?

Teresa: 130 pounds.

Dustin: 130 pounds. If you want to go ahead and try to step on, we'll see if we can get it to fit perfectly for your body. Can you slide onto the seat? Perfect. So that looks like a good fit. So 30-inch inseam. Let me see your right foot on the ground too. Can you put your right foot down? So she's up on the balls of her feet, which is okay. You want to be like that to have good leg extension and we have the seat all the way down. So I would say it's a fit for Teresa. How do the handlebars feel? 

Teresa: The handlebars feel good.

Dustin: You can see we've got her back nice and upright. Her arms are relaxed. So I would say at 5'1" we've got fit with a 30-inch inseam. Let's move up to our 5'2" rider. Okay, now we're here with our 5'2" rider. What was your name?

Jerri: Jerri. 

Dustin: Jerri. What's your arm length and inseam? 

Jerri: My arm Length is 19 and my inseam is 33.

Dustin: How much do you weigh?

Jerri: 120. 

Dustin: 120. Okay, if you don't mind stepping in, we'll see if we can get a good fit for her body. Okay. Let me see. 

Jerri: High. 

Dustin: Too high for you? 

Jerri: Yeah. 

Dustin: Okay. We can go ahead and lower the seat, so go ahead and get off. Oops. Okay, let's go ahead and tighten the seat all the way. There we go. All right, go ahead and give that a try. We've got the seat all the way down.

Jerri: Oh yeah, that feels a lot better.

Dustin: Okay, good for you?

Jerri: Yeah.

Dustin: I mean, we could bring it up a little bit more, but if Jerri's comfortable with that, then we'll leave it. How about the handlebars? They seem a little high. No?

Jerri: A little high. 

Dustin: Okay, so let's go ahead and lower this down just a touch.

Jerri: Yeah.

Dustin: Better? 

Jerri: That's better. Yeah. 

Dustin: Cool. Perfect. Feels good, feels comfortable? 

Jerri: Yeah. Yeah.

Dustin: Yeah? All right. We've got a fit on our 5'2" rider. Let's move up to our 5'3" rider. Okay. Now we're here with our 5'3" rider. What was your name? 

Rohini: My name's Rohini.

Dustin: What is your arm length and your inseam?

Rohini: My arm length is 15 inches and my inseam is 28 and a half inches.

Dustin: How much do you weigh?

Rohini: 135 pounds.

Dustin: Okay, great. If you want to go ahead and step on, we'll see if we can make a perfect fit for your body. Can you slide on? Okay, you're able to get... Okay. So again, the interesting thing with inseams and the fit is it doesn't necessarily depend on height. So Rohini has a 28-and-a-half-inch inseam. She's fit. She's up on the balls of her feet. I think she could have good control over the bike. One thing I think we could maybe do is tilt the handlebars up a little bit just to make it a little more comfortable. So let's see. Would that be better or worse? 

Rohini: Yeah. Oh yeah.

Dustin: Okay. Again, I'm adjusting for comfort. So we got her back nice and upright. Her arms are relaxed. We've got her in a great ergonomic position. How does that feel for you? 

Rohini: Yeah, it's really comfortable.

Dustin: Perfect. So we've got a fit for our 5'3" rider. Let's move on to our next rider. All right. Now I'm here with our 5'4" rider. What was your name? 

Deidre: Deidre.

Dustin: Deidra. Deidra, what was your arm length and your inseam?

Deidre: My arm length is 19, and my inseam is 31.

Dustin: 31. Perfect. How much do you weigh? 

Deidre: I weigh 130.

Dustin: 130. Okay. If you can go ahead and step on, we'll see if we can adjust for your body. Okay, perfect. So interestingly, again, now she's a little bit more on her toes than our 5'3" rider. I will say that measuring the inseams isn't an exact science. So it's possible from one inseam to the next that the measurements could also be user differences in how they take the measurement, but she's up on her tippy toes or towards the front of her foot. I would say it can work for her. The handlebars and everything else seems to be adjusted okay. How does it feel for you? Do you feel like you'd have control of it? 

Deidre: Yeah, I feel like I can take off.

Dustin: Okay. We've got her back upright. Her arms look nice and relaxed. I'm actually not going to touch anything on the adjustments. So we've got a fit here at 5'4". Let's move up to our 5'5" rider. All right. Now we're with our 5'5 rider. What was your name? 

Alicia: Alicia. 

Dustin: Alicia. What was your arm length and your inseam?

Alicia: The arm length was 17, inseam was 30.

Dustin: The inseam was 30. How much do you weigh? 

Alicia: 145. 

Dustin: 145. All right. If you don't mind, try stepping onto the bike. There we go. Okay. Are you sitting all the way down? Yeah. Okay. It looks like we could probably raise the seat a little bit. The handlebars look okay. So if you want to get off for a second. 

Alicia: Sure. 

Dustin: So we've got the four easy adjustment points and you can easily raise and lower the seat right here. So we're going to go ahead and pull that up just a little bit. So she'll have good leg extension on her down pedal. Then you just clamp that down right here. Okay. Go ahead and try that. We got her up on the tippy toes. Actually, that's good. On the ball of her foot. We could lower it a little bit if we wanted to. Do you feel okay, comfortable like that? 

Alicia: Yeah, I could balance and catch myself.

Dustin: Okay. Because we want to make sure she's got good leg extension. I could bring it down a smidgen if we needed to. We needed to bring it up just a little bit. How do the handlebars feel for you? 

Alicia: That's comfortable.

Dustin: Comfortable. Cool. So I think we've got a fit for our 5'5" rider. Let's move up to 5'6". Okay, now we're with our 5'6" rider. What was your name?

Brianna: Brianna. 

Dustin: Brianna. What's your arm length and inseam? 

Brianna: My arm length is 15 and my inseam is 29.

Dustin: Perfect. How much do you weigh?

Brianna:

130 pounds.

Dustin: 130. Do you want to go ahead and step on, we'll see if we can adjust for your body. Perfect. Go ahead and sit down on the seat and let me see. Put your right foot down too. Put your right foot on the ground. Okay. So I've got the seat up about an inch and a half for Brianna, and I think it's a good fit actually. How do the handlebars feel? Do those feel okay? Do they look low?

Brianna: No, they feel perfect for me. 

Dustin: Feel good? 

Brianna: Yeah.

Dustin: Okay. Yeah, I mean, her arms look relaxed. Her back is nice and upright. The feet are down so she has control. I think we've got a good fit for our 5'6" rider. Let's move up to 5'7". All right. We're with our 5'7" now. What was your name?

Salvador Laga: Salvador Laga.

Dustin: Salvador?

Salvador Laga: Salvador. 

Dustin: What's your arm length and inseam?

Salvador Laga: My arm length is 18 and my inseam is 30.

Dustin: 30. How much do you weigh? 

Salvador Laga: I weigh 181.

Dustin: 181. Perfect. Do you want to go ahead and step on, we'll see if we can adjust for your body. Go ahead and slide back onto the seat. Okay. Let me see. Okay, so that seat's definitely too low. You can see his feet are flat. We want to make sure he is going to have a good extension on the down pedal. So if you can get off really quick, I'm going to raise the seat for you. All right. Let's bring that up a good inch or two, maybe right about there. Okay. Go ahead and give that a try. Perfect. I think that's a little bit better. What do you think? 

Salvador Laga: It is a little bit better.

Dustin: How about the handlebars? Do those feel okay? Or let's go ahead and try to loosen this real quick for you. We've got four easy adjustment points so you can go ahead and kind of play with that where it feels best for you. 

Salvador Laga: What about here?

Dustin: A little lower, huh? Okay.

Salvador Laga: A little lower for me.

Dustin: No problem. Perfect. So yeah, we've got a nice relaxed elbow, relaxed shoulders. He's in a good ergonomic position. I'd say we've got a good fit for our 5'7" rider. Let's move up to 5'8". Okay, now we're here with our 5'8" rider. What was your name?

Thomas Johansson: Thomas Johansson.

Dustin: Thomas. Thomas, what's your arm length and your inseam?

Thomas Johansson: Arm is 19, inseam is 29.

Dustin: 29. Okay, perfect. If you want to go ahead and... Oh, sorry. How much do you weigh?

Thomas Johansson: Oh, I weigh 195.

Dustin: 195. Perfect. If you want to go ahead and step on.

Thomas Johansson: Sure. 

Dustin: We're going to go ahead and see if we can get a fit for you here. Height seems pretty okay at that point. 

Thomas Johansson: Yeah, it seems perfect.

Dustin: Okay. Handlebars, do they feel low?

Thomas Johansson: No, they're absolutely perfect.

Dustin: Okay, there we go. Yeah, you can see his arms are okay. He's not having to lean forward. His back is nice and upright. Again, I'd like to reiterate, what's interesting is the inseams can really vary by height. So it's a combination of height and inseam that determines how we adjust and fit, also arm length. So we got to fit for Thomas. Let's move up to our 5'9" rider. Okay, now we're with our 5'9" rider. What was your name? 

Avis: Avis. 

Dustin: Avis. Avis, what's your arm length and inseam?

Avis: My arm length is 23 and my inseam 33.

Dustin: Okay, perfect. How much do you weigh?

Avis: I weigh 131.

Dustin: 131. Okay. If you want to step on. We'll go ahead and see if we can adjust for your body. Then if you sit back on the seat and let me see your feet down. Okay, so it looks a little bit low. So if you want to get off, I'm going to raise the seat just a touch for you. 

Avis: Okay. 

Dustin: Let's try right there. Again, we have an easy quick release to raise and lower to accommodate all sorts of heights. Go ahead and step on.

Avis: Oh, you brought it higher.

Dustin: Yeah. 

Avis: Oh, I see.

Dustin: Yeah, I like that better actually for you. I think you'll have a better leg extension right there. 

Avis: Oh, nice. 

Dustin: How about the handlebars? Do they feel okay, too low?

Avis: They feel pretty comfortable. Yeah.

Dustin: Let's go ahead and try. Go ahead and grab onto that and they're going to loosen. Now you can play around with what you like. 

Avis: Okay, that's too high. That's too low. Yeah, this is about right.

Dustin: Okay, perfect. There we go. Again, you have the two adjustment points up here on the handlebars, the raising, lowering, and the tilting so you can find the perfect position for you. It looks good. We've got her back nice and upright. Her arms are relaxed. So I think we've got a good fit for our 5'9" rider. Let's move up to 5'10". All right. Now we're here with our 5'10" rider. What was your name? 

Aaron: Aaron.

Dustin: Aaron. Aaron, what's your arm length and inseam? 

Aaron: The arm length is 19, inseam is 31.

Dustin: The inseam is 31. Perfect. How much do you weigh? 

Aaron: I weigh 170.

Dustin: 170. All right. If you want to go ahead and step on. You can put your right foot down. There we go. Put both your feet down actually.

Aaron: Might be a little tall here.

Dustin: A little too tall?

Aaron: Yeah, I think so. 

Dustin: Okay. We can bring it down a little bit. The other thing that honestly impacts the raising and lowering of the seat is also the shoes. I noticed Aaron's got really flat shoes on as well. 

Aaron: Really flat. Yes.

Dustin: So that's something to consider when you're adjusting you may have to adjust your seat differently for different shoes. So there you go. Go ahead and step on. Let's see. Put your left foot down. How's that feel, better?

Aaron: Feels fine.

Dustin: How about the handlebars?

Aaron: The handlebars seem good.

Dustin: Too low, okay?

Aaron: No, they seem good.

Dustin: Okay, cool. So he has got a nice ergonomic, straight back here. The arms look nice and relaxed. I'd say it's a fit for our 5'10" rider. Let's move up to 5'11". Okay, now we're with our 5'11" rider. What was your name? 

Brian: My name is Brian.

Dustin: Brian. Brian, what's your arm length and inseam?

Brian: So it is 19 arms in length and 33 inseams.

Dustin: Perfect. How much do you weigh? 

Brian: I'm 155.

Dustin: 155. All right. If you want to go ahead and step on. 

Brian: Sure.

Dustin: Then put your left foot down, both your feet down for me. So we need to get the seat up for him. You can see his feet are pretty flat, so if you want to jump off. Not jump off, but just come off. 

Brian: Sure. 

Dustin: Let's raise this. Okay. Let's try it right there. One thing I'll say about adjusting as well as it's also what's comfortable for the rider. So yes, I can adjust, but you want to make sure that it's right for your body too. So go ahead and try that. Got a little bit higher.

Brian: Oh yeah, that's great. 

Dustin: Is that okay, better? 

Brian: Yeah. That's awesome. 

Dustin: How about the handlebars? They look a little low to me.

Brian: Yeah, they do feel a little low. 

Dustin: Okay, so let's loosen this and then hold onto them and then you can kind of-

Brian: Oh, cool. Yeah, I love that. That's great. 

Dustin: Okay, perfect. Perfect.

Brian: Very nice.

Dustin: There we go. Yeah, we can tilt it. We can raise and lower it. So now we got his arms nice and relaxed. He's not stretching. His back's upright. Looks like he's got good leg extension. I'd say we've got a good fit for our 5'11" rider. Let's move up to 6'. All right. Now we're here with our 6' rider. What was your name? 

Nick: Nick. 

Dustin: Nick. Nick, what's your arm length and inseam?

Nick: My arm length is 20, and then my inseam is 30.

Dustin: Okay. How much do you weigh?

Nick: About 256.

Dustin: 256. Perfect. If you want to go ahead and step on and go ahead and slide back onto the seat. Here we go. How does that feel? Looks pretty good height-wise. Does that feel okay? 

Nick: Yeah, I feel pretty good about it. Yeah, no issues.

Dustin: Okay. How about the handlebars? Are they a little low? Do you want them up a little more?

Nick: Yeah. Can we try them? Maybe just a tad higher? I think overall it feels good, but maybe just a smidge.

Dustin: Yeah, absolutely. So let's go ahead and bring these up. Okay. You've got about four and a half inches of adjustment area where you can bring these up and down. 

Nick: Okay. I think that feels good. 

Dustin: Better?

Nick: Yeah, feels a lot better.

Dustin: Then we can also, let's see if tilting will help him a little bit more. 

Nick: Yeah.

Dustin: So go ahead and grab onto him and they're going to go loose, so now you can kind of pull them up or down, whatever feels better or worse for you. You can bring them even higher or lower.

Nick: I think right there feels good. 

Dustin: Okay, perfect.

Nick: Yeah.

Dustin: All right. Feels comfortable?

Nick: Yeah.

Dustin: So you can see we've got a nice... Go ahead and put your right foot down. So he's got up on the balls of his foot. He'll get a great leg extension. Back's upright. The arms are nice and relaxed. I think we've got a good fit for 6'. So let's move up to our 6'1" rider. All right. Now we're with our 6'1" rider. What is your name?

Brendan: Brendan McManus.

Dustin: Brendan. Brendan, what's your arm length and inseam?

Brendan: My arm length is 26 and my inseam is 32.

Dustin: 32. How much do you weigh? 

Brendan: I weigh 161.

Dustin: 161. If you want to go ahead and step on, we'll see how we can adjust for your body. 

Brendan: You got it.

Dustin: You can keep both feet down on the ground. You can put your left foot down. Okay. So he's up on the balls of his foot. How does that feel though? Does that feel too high for you? Should we lower the seat a little bit? 

Brendan: A little high.

Dustin: Okay. Yeah. So hop off.

Brendan: There you go.

Dustin: We'll go ahead and just drop it a little bit. Okay. All right. Just clamp that down. Okay. Go ahead and try that now.

Brendan: You got it. Wow.

Dustin: Better?

Brendan: Yeah, that's a great deal better. 

Dustin: How about the handlebars?

Dustin: Okay, perfect. Yeah, we've got his back nice and upright. His arms are relaxed. I think he'll have good leg extension when he is pedaling. So it's a fit for our 6'1" rider. Let's move up to our 6'2" rider. All right, now we're with our final rider at 6'2". What is your name? 

Leif: Leif. 

Dustin: Leif. Leif, what's your arm length and inseam?

Leif: The arm length is 25 inches, inseam is 33.

Dustin: Okay. How much do you weigh?

Leif: 215 pounds.

Dustin: 215. Actually, I've got the seat all the way down. So let me just raise this because we know Leif's going to need the seat much higher than that. You've got a lot of range on the seat here, so I'm going to bring it up right there. I think that'll be pretty good for him. Go ahead and loosen the seat bolt here so I can clamp it all the way down. There we go. All right, go ahead and give that a try. You can put your right foot down on the ground. There we go. How's that feel?

Leif: Feels good

Dustin: Height-wise, okay?

Leif: Yeah, definitely. 

Dustin: Handlebars seem a little bit low. So let's go ahead and raise these. Go ahead and bring those up. Bring our bolt down, bring this down just a little bit right there. Then we'll play with the tilting because you've got these two adjustment bolts. You can find wherever feels good for you.

Leif: It feels about right, right there. 

Dustin: Okay. Feels comfortable?

Leif: Yes, sir.

Dustin: All right. Cool. So there we go. We've got Lief adjusted at 6'2". His back's nice and upright. The arms look relaxed. Feels good for you, right?

Leif: Yes, it does. 

Dustin: Yeah. Cool. So we've got a fit for our final rider at 6'2". Stick with us as we recap all this. All right, so we've just shown you the sizing for riders from 5' to 6'2" on our simple step-through. You can see how easy it is to mount, and dismount and how we can use the four custom adjustment points to dial in the adjustments perfect to their bodies, height, weight, and inseam. It's easy to do. You can easily do it yourself too. So thank you for sticking around. Don't forget, it's your journey, your experience. Enjoy the ride.
