1500 - 107 degree knee angle 1600 - 108 degree knee angle 1700 - 101 degree knee angle The 1500 & 1600 are virtually the same for a person my size. You knees are bent substantially more on the 1700. Still it's the same wheelbase. On my 1700 my wife was always in contact with me when riding two up. On the 1500 there is no contact. Again, the same wheelbase. Somehow, someway the seat on the 1500/1600 has to be positioned further back on the frame although it is not obvious. We're talking maybe an inch difference. I needed risers on the 1700. The 1500 had risers and I added new handlebars to keep my shoulder blades from complaining. So I have to say that they are exactly the same only different.
