Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Can-Am Spyder RT has a 755 mm seat; the Ural Retro w/ Sidecar sits at 750 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 76 cm for the Can-Am Spyder RT and 75 cm for the Ural Retro w/ Sidecar.
That makes the Ural Retro w/ Sidecar the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Can-Am Spyder RT 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.
