The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Can-Am Origin has a 865 mm seat; the NIU XQi3 Street sits at 875 mm — a 10 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 87 cm for the Can-Am Origin and 88 cm for the NIU XQi3 Street.
That makes the Can-Am Origin the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the NIU XQi3 Street gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
