Seat height feel

About 32.1 in — a higher-than-typical seat height. This is a geometry comparison, not a guarantee of rider fit.

Wheelbase / length

70.4% 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 23.9 in (606 mm) combined beyond the axle-to-axle distance.

Bounding-box footprint

About 17.4 sq ft (1.62 m²), calculated from listed overall length × width. Useful for rough storage planning.
