The Standard BikeE will adjust for a 4'9 to 6'1' rider as I recall from thier advertising. One Cavet
however is it is higher off the ground than say an EZ-1, so it maybe a bit of a stretch for a 9 year
old. I would still have my BikeE if my wife had longer legs, she just couldn't reach the ground.
Mine was an XL so maybe it was a bit taller than a standard. If you can find one for her to try I
would suggest it. BikeE owners are usually eager to give out first rides, they are so easy to
adjust. IMO it is an Ideal bike for a kid. It's cool looking, simple, and will adjust to fit the kid
for many years. The Quality of the later ones in my opinion is not as good as the pre-2000 models (
I liked the aircraft rivets better), but others may disagree. Denny in Sayre, Pa "Bent but not
