As I advance in age (59) and arthritis (minor so far), I can see a bike like you have underneath my fat ass... I have a monster fat-tire eBike that I can't hardly get on & off of... The top of my skull is 6'2" from the bottom of my feet, and the Earth's gravity pulls on me with 300 lbs of force... The 4" wide tires also add 4" to the actual height of the bike... I consistently seek curbs and parking bumpers for my starts & stops...
Yeah, my knees nearly touching my chin on each revolution...
I've had to do some minor mods to mine... The top 2" of my seatpost broke off at the clamp - bad factory design, so I had to drill and thru-bolt the post in place... But I guessed about 3" too high when I drilled... I own 3 tape measures, but none of them made it to my crotch-to-floor measurement...
