Do fork and seatpost suspension make the bike taller?

Summary: Yes, adding fork and seatpost suspensions increases the height of the bike. Fork suspension adds about 1 1/2" to the bike's height, and the Satori suspension seatpost also adds 1 1/2" to the minimum seat height. Detailed Explanation:

• Fork Suspension: Incorporating a fork suspension to your electric bike adds approximately 1 1/2 inches to the overall height of the bike. This adjustment is due to the additional space required for the suspension mechanism at the front of the bike.

• Seat Post Suspension: Choosing the Satori suspension seat post option raises the minimum height of the seat by another 1 1/2 inches. This increase is because the suspension component within the seat post requires extra space, thus elevating the lowest position the seat can be adjusted to.

Impact on Bike Height: By adding both fork and seatpost suspensions, you enhance the comfort and handling of your electric bike, especially on uneven terrain. However, these upgrades also make the bike taller, impacting the minimum seat height and the overall bike profile. This could influence the bike's fit for the rider, particularly for those who prefer a lower seat height for easier mounting and dismounting.
