There's no arguing a wife's assessment RickB....if they're happy, we're happy! LolThe seat was, is, and will remain stationary. The reach issue is for the 5’< end of the range. The seat and driver position was very comfortable relative to the handlebar controls for my 5’7” height. The tilting handlebars would resolve what is a minor issue for ‘shorter’ drivers. Arcimoto is working hard to reduce, not increase cost. My wife said the seat was so comfortable she wanted to take it home.
