Planning to Buy my first bike help please

[culcune]

I forgot about the height issue...yes, the Pioneer, Lexmoto, Pulse, and Sinnis would all be the same height since they are all derived fromthe Pioneer/Qingqi...

The ride height of the Adrenaline/Apache etc can all be altered significantly, it does alter the bike (mines seems to have quicker steering) but not to a level where it is unridable.

Open up the rear spring, i know that this is counterintuitive but it creates more sag in the spring i.e. it will compress more when you are sitting on it.
I also put on 30mm bar risers and moved the front forks through the tubes by 40mm.

This reduced it enough for me to flat foot, the other option is to take a chunk of foam out the seat and replace with a Gel pad to reduce discomfort.

Sorry i don't have any pictures but it is simple, you will need a c spanner though for the rear shock.

To be honest it is a 20 minute job, other than the bar risers i would have thought it wouldn't take a highly trained negotiator to convince a salesman to get his mechanic to do it in the showroom if he thinks there is a potential sale in it.

first bike ever, if i personally take a spanner to it il probably destroy the bike lol, how tall are u, im 5ft 4 and if ur the same height or shorter and you can flat foot and you mentioned that all the change have not made the bike unrideable then i guess the sinnis apache is back on my list with a fighting chance

I am 5'8" with shortish legs.

If an Apache is what you want then make it fit, do the same as me, get a pair of boots that give you an inch (or more) lift, shave some out the seat, reduce the rear spring tension and move the front forks through the carriers, take lots of foam out the front of the seat and reduce the width, when you are coming to a standstill at lights or whatever then slide to the front of the seat, if you can get the balls of your feet on the ground that is enough.
