Useful dimension ratios

Wheelbase / length

66.6% 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 28 in (711 mm) combined beyond the axle-to-axle distance.

Bounding-box footprint

About 20.1 sq ft (1.87 m²), calculated from listed overall length × width. Useful for rough storage planning.
