A. Seat Width (see diagram 2)
Measured from outside of frame tube on one side to the
outside of frame tube on the other side.
B. Seat Depth (see diagram 1)
Measured from the front of the back posts to the front edge
of the seat sling. Seat sling starts at beginning of bend at front
of frame.
C. Front Frame Bend (see diagram 1)
Angle between front seat tube and ground.
D. Sling Position (see diagram 3)
With the “0” sling position, sling is approximately 4” from the
front tube. The 1” and 2” sling positions extend the frame in
front of the sling by that amount. -1 pushes the seat 1” farther
forward. See Charts 1 and 2 for more detail.
E. Front Seat Height (see diagram 2)
Measured from floor to top of seat tube at front of seat sling.
F. Footrest Width (see diagram 2)
Measured from inside of the front tube to the inside of front
tube on the other side. Footrest width is listed below for each
seat width. See Chart 1 for more detail.
G. Seat to Footrest Length (see diagram 1)
Measured from the front edge of the seat sling to top of the
rear of the footrest. Footrest length of at least 2.5” shorter
than the front seat height recommended.
H. Rear Seat Height (see diagram 1)
Measured from floor to top of the seat tube at the front of the
back post. Rear seat height is custom to needs.
I. Center of Gravity Preset (see diagram 1)
Measured from front of back post to center of rear axle. 0”
indicates the axle will be directly under the back post.
J. Rear Wheel Spacing (see diagram 2)
Measured from the outside of the seat back to the inside of
the rear tire. This is adjustable up to .5” outward.
