Why Electric Bike Frame Size Matters
Proper ebike sizing directly impacts your riding comfort, pedaling efficiency, and overall safety. An incorrectly sized electric bike can lead to joint pain, reduced battery efficiency, and poor handling - especially important when dealing with the added weight and power of electric motors.
Key Benefits of Proper E-Bike Sizing:
- Enhanced comfort during long rides
- Improved pedaling efficiency and battery range
- Better control and handling
- Reduced risk of injury
- Optimal power transfer from motor assistance
Essential Measurements for E-Bike Sizing
Before choosing your Mihogo electric bike, you'll need these three critical measurements:
1. Height Measurement
Stand against a wall without shoes and measure from floor to the top of your head. This is your primary sizing reference for most electric bike size charts.
2. Inseam Length
Measure from your crotch to the floor while standing with legs slightly apart (6-8 inches). This determines your standover height - crucial for safety when mounting and dismounting.
3. Arm Reach
Extend your arms forward and measure from shoulder to fingertips. This affects handlebar reach and riding position comfort.

Professional Fitting Tips
Standover Height Test
When straddling your e-bike, maintain at least 2-4 inches (5-10cm) clearance between your body and the top tube. This ensures safe mounting and emergency dismounting.
Seat Height Adjustment
Set your seat so your leg has a slight bend (15-20 degrees) when the pedal is at its lowest point. This optimizes power transfer and reduces knee strain during pedal-assist cycling.
Handlebar Reach
Your arms should have a slight bend when reaching the handlebars. If you're stretching or cramped, consider adjustable stem options or different frame sizes.
Special Considerations for Different Riders
E-Bike Sizing for Women
Many Mihogo models feature step-through frames that accommodate different body proportions. Women typically benefit from shorter reach measurements and may prefer smaller frame sizes even at similar heights to male riders.
Electric Bikes for Tall Riders
Riders over 6'2" should focus on the MIHOGO ONE, LX 4.0, or NX models. Pay special attention to maximum seat post extension and handlebar height adjustability.
Heavy Riders and Weight Capacity
The LX 4.0 offers the highest weight capacity at 440 lbs, followed by the MIHOGO ONE at 330 lbs. Consider both rider weight and cargo when selecting your model.
Advanced Sizing Considerations
Motor Placement Impact
Hub motors (found in most Mihogo models) don't significantly affect sizing, but mid-drive systems can impact standover height. Our brushless hub motors maintain optimal weight distribution without compromising fit.
Battery Integration and Frame Geometry
Integrated batteries in models like the Air Max and MIHOGO ONE provide better weight distribution and don't affect traditional sizing measurements, unlike external battery packs.
Folding Mechanism Considerations
All Mihogo folding e-bikes maintain their sizing specifications when unfolded. The folding mechanism doesn't compromise frame integrity or riding position.
