Pros: Low center of gravity makes it perfect for those who are vertically challenged.
Cons: After about 2 hours, your butt needs a break!
Summary: I am a 5'4" female and I have ridden this bike for 2 full seasons now and I LOVE IT! Last summer my hubby and I rode through the Cascade Mountains in Washington State and I had no trouble keeping up with him. The bike handles great in the "twisties"
