Useful dimension ratios

Seat height feel

About 34.8 in — a higher-than-typical seat height. This is a geometry comparison, not a guarantee of rider fit.

Wheelbase / length

64.8% 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 30.8 in (783 mm) combined beyond the axle-to-axle distance.

Bounding-box footprint

About 19.5 sq ft (1.81 m²), calculated from listed overall length × width. Useful for rough storage planning.

Clearance / wheelbase

19.4%. A simple ratio showing listed ground clearance relative to wheelbase.
