Wheelbase / length

69.2% 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 22.2 in (565 mm) combined beyond the axle-to-axle distance.

Bounding-box footprint

About 13.3 sq ft (1.24 m²), calculated from listed overall length × width. Useful for rough storage planning.

Clearance / wheelbase

10.1%. A simple ratio showing listed ground clearance relative to wheelbase.
