Useful dimension ratios

Seat height feel

About 35.4 in — a higher-than-typical seat height. This is a geometry comparison, not a guarantee of rider fit.

Wheelbase / length

66.3% of overall length. This shows how much of the bike’s total length is axle-to-axle distance rather than overhang.

Length beyond wheelbase

About 27 in (686 mm) combined beyond the axle-to-axle distance.

Bounding-box footprint

About 18.4 sq ft (1.71 m²), calculated from listed overall length × width. Useful for rough storage planning.

Clearance / wheelbase

20.3%. A simple ratio showing listed ground clearance relative to wheelbase.
