Check the specs (and measure your inseam - they have a 700mm seat height):

Find a dealer with one and go for a ride.

There's no substitute for giving one a thrash, no matter what they look like on paper.

wife had one briefly, she is 5'6". Was no problem for her at all to manage.
I am a bit north of 100kg and it took my bulk but I apparently looked like a grizzly bear riding a tricycle. There were other less kind comparisons drawn but you don't need to hear those......
Solid wee bike for what it is but I wouldn't want to spend a long time on one.
My wife reckons it taught her everything she now knows she doesn't like about a bike
Each to their own, go ride one!
