How do you tell a BikeE AT XL and Standard

[tandemrudy]

How can you tell the sizes of the BikeE AT there are 4 sizes the ShortE , Standard, XL , then XXL?

Iam looking at one that has a ( S ) sticker on it . I don't know if that mean ShortE, or STANDARD. Is there a measuring thing to be sure . and where (exactly do you measure from )?

Thanks

There are only two sizes of BikeE frame. The Standard and the XL. The wheelbase did not alter but the frame, i.e. the box section, is several inches longer on the XL. I have no measurements but the catalogue says that the standard model fits riders 4'8" to 6'2" and the XL model fits riders up to 6'8". I hope that is of some help to you.

Regards,

Robin.

My XL has a top tube length of about 54".

The reply that states that the wheel base does not change is wrong . I.m surprised no-one caught it . The only reason to have a longer bike E is to have a longer wheel-base. the wheel-base is 4 inches longer. standard is 52" XL is 56 " I am certain because I own two of each. The change in weight distribution ( towards the front ) is a significant benefit to the very tall or the heavy such as myself. The only stickers are XL or S (standard) that I have seen and that's a lot

I agree with 416bentbiker. I had one of each recently and took the opportunity to measure the wheelbase and recorded the same measurements.

I did not measure the top tube but I am confident it would be longer on the longer wheelbase as well.
