don't have the bike here to measure but I remember her inside leg measurement was 10" when she got it, and the saddle wasn't fully slammed.

Hm. Her inside leg was 11" on the last thread about this
Anyway. I'm sure potential purchasers would welcome the information next time the bike comes to hand. I'd certainly like to know, people are always asking about the Rothan so something a full inch or more lower would be good to know about.

sorry, my mistake on the other thread
it was actually 10"Posted 6 months ago # -
I can't believe how confident my 5yo is on a bike after starting on a balance bike. They're the best bike innovation ever.

After considering everyone's comments, and testing the small man on a Hotrock (too big) we are back to a balance bike.
Jnr is 34 months and 88.5cm - I notice the Islabikes minimum size was 88cm so we'll get him to see on a fewdierent makes / models and see how he gets on.

Didn't read the whole thread so apologies if it's said already, but have you tried him on any bikes yet?
My son was 2 this week and I deferred getting him a balance bike as the Islabikes website claimed 27cm standover, I measured him and he was 26 or something so I thought to avoid disappointment we'd wait for Christmas before giving it to him.
Tried him on a friends Rothan last week and he would have need the seat raising! We now have a shiny new Rothan hidden in the garage with weeks and weeks to go til he can ride it. I'm devastated!
Edit to add: Duh, just read your last post! I reckon he'll go on a Rothan OK.
