Thanks to Mikael for this report on the fit of his Flevobike Alleweder: "Maximum length for a FL-AW is around 190 cm. I can just fit in mine at 190.5 cm with 155 mm cranks installed. Its a tight fit around my shoulders though and there's no room for luggage behind the seat as its all the way back. Strapping stuff on its nose works very well however and there's still room for 4 bags of groceries in the sides. Seat range of movement is 15 cm. 7 holes with 2.5 cm between them. So 6 possible positions as brackets are secured with two screws each. And not adjustable as such without some work."
Jan-Inge of the Swedish HPV association writes that he and his wife can use a Flevobike Alleweder by having two sets of brackets for the seat and switching between them. He feels that 155 cm is the minimum height for the Flevo AW.
*The Leiba can be modified for even smaller riders.
