Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 QJmotor Qjmotor QJ500-8A, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
