63, short and 175 lbs. This bike is terrific. I just got back to biking after many years b/c of carpal tunnel issues now resolved. I always loved biking, but had real balance problems getting on and off my 2-wheeler, falling 3 times while trying to do so. The terra-trike was a dream come true. Get on and off with ease. Close to ground if you fall! Haven't fallen and it's pretty hard to fall off the Terra-trike. Adjustable seat. I ride on paved roads. My dog loves to race me. Didn't have it long enough before snow came in, so can't say about weight loss, yet.

I'm overweight too, I find the trike easier to ride from a balance perspective. I usually stick to pavement ,but have been on gravel trails with no problem.
1790568
yes, its like sitting in a lawn chair, and the seat is fully ajustable, i love mine

Sadly no, I'm 295 and the wheels go flat, don't get it. No one over 150lbs should get this. Plus VERY CHEAPLY MADE. Get a 3 wheel by Sun instead, has no issues holding my weight and you sit up higher, go to industrialbicycles.com - much more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Im 5'4" and theres a slight lean req when at a stop. Pedaling is not a problem.

Yes the bike is very light and easy to ride. At 5.5 it should be perfect.I'm 5.10 and had to make several adjustments for my height. Only recommendation is to look into a more comfortable seat. It's a little uncomfortable on those longer rides

Your height is not a problem. There is no pedals, you are going to strap your feet into the straps so any person of any size will not have any problems. It is a great machine for the money!

I bought it for my 8 year old grand daughter. In 70 years old. 5`3" tall and 130 lbs. We both have fun riding it.

Absolutely. I often ride on gravel roads, my only fear is falling. I have aproximently 1000 miles on them, no flats. I weigh 180. Grip on pavement is awesome,I often counter steer corners at 30+ mph.

I'm 6'2 and 215 lbs, 64 yrs old, in an urban enviroment, I have no problems. Due to street construction, going on for months, now I have to park 3 blocks away. I unfold the bike and ride home. Since the van is now three blocks away I also use it to get to the store occasionally. Therd are other fold down bikes available, of a larger size. If you are looking to put "ALOT" of miles on it, go bigger. This is a rapid deployment, short hop bike. It fits that bill very well.

I'm the wrong one to attempt to answer this question. I'm 76 and definitely not acrobatic.

It will probably be too heavy for her. I' m 78 and it too stiff to drive or push around for me. Mine has just sit under the deck. I have not used it. I had a wagon seat that I use to garden. It is hard for me to get up off it but I can use it to garden other wise. Louise

I am 6'5" 250 so no problem fitting you, but I would look elsewhere for a good exercise bike. As I type this my wife is using it and it makes a knocking sound at every pedal stroke. I put it together very carefully and I would say this is worth half of the price. Also, pedals too wide for serious bikers.

I am a 6' 3", 180 lb. rider. I feel like it is just about an inch or two short for me, but I normally ride so that my toes just touch the ground. On this bike, I can put my whole foot on the ground when I stop. Some people are more comfortable when their whole foot touches the ground anyway. If I was riding this any farther than three to five miles, it might bother me a bit...particularly my knees due to having less leverage. However, it works fine for my commutes. As for carrying it on a plane, I do not know. I think it might just barely fit, but would be awkward. I would probably check it on. I have carried it onto buses, though, and had no problem with that. - Bob

Like any bike, you'll get used to the seat, I've had no problems riding mine for 30-60 minutes at a time and I weight over 300.. If that's not a solution for you, look up some gel seats.

Absolutely. I think I'm in pretty good shape, and biking at a resistance level of 5 is burning my legs after about 10 minutes. This thing is really smooth. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I am about 5ft 4in and it is a comfortable ride for me though it is on the larger size. It might be okay as long as you feel comfortable not being able to easily put your feet on the ground!

I can understand your frustration with the reviews. If you played on an NFL team this wouldn't be enough machine for you. I does all the things you ask about. But more for the overweight, non exerciser, type 2 diabetes type that wants results but in a moderate exercising way. Also good for elderly since you can hold on, swing legs and go as slow as you want......still getting more than staying seated all day. And the most appealing part to me (age 73), It's small enough to hide quickly if Queen Elizabeth pops in suddenly. You could hide it before answering the door....or behind the door. I have trouble doing daily exercise unless in front of TV. I care for my horse & lots of property to maintain but in the winter it amounts to just a few hours a day. Mild work. This machine makes sure I get in some aerobic walking that helps me stay strong and lose weight.

I think that has to depend on your physical condition, weight and height. I have bi-lateral knee replacements. I am 61 and overweight and 5'7. However, I can get in and out of the car, my office chair etc. without a problem. The seat on this thing is about the size of a dinner plate and is designed for you straddle it, facing the handle. The seat is tiny and not really very stable on three legs. I would pass on this style and go for one with four legs. That's what I ended up with. You still have to straddle the 4 legged one but bigger seat and much more stable. Hope this helps.
