IT’S all very well to list bikes with the highest top speeds or the biggest engines but when it comes to practical information the seat height is one the most significant figures on any spec sheet.
So here we have the lowest of the low, the bikes that even the most diminutive riders will be able to straddle with their feet flat on the floor.
But beware – a low seat alone doesn’t make for the ideal short rider’s bike. Less obvious dimensions are also key, including the distance to the pegs (since these are virtually all cruisers, many have forward-set pegs that might be a longer stretch than to the ground) and to the bars; it’s no good having a bike for short legs if you need a gorilla’s arms to go with them.
So, in terms of altitude alone, here are the 10 (well, rather more than that, actually) lowest-seat bikes we can currently find on sale in the UK. Have we missed any? Let us know in the comments below.
