ok judging by the average height so far, no one is below 5'5. So for the people that dont have pocket bikes yet and planning to get one, and have questions like "will I be able to ride it?" Yes you will =D As for mid bikes and pocket bikes, they are both different, mid bikes are more on comfort than racing, and pocket bikes are more on racing than comfort.

I'm 6'3" and it's not hard to ride. After a rode for an hour I was comfortable. You just need to get used to it (which was already mentioned).
