Deacon, the feet forward position would probably work really well for you. The seat height is just above the height of the rear tire and you can easily have both feet flat on the ground. Also the center of gravity is alot lower than on a regular bike to aid in your balance issues. there is zero wheel flop and it handles like a dream. this is probably the beat engineered bike that I have ever ridden...Kelly
