3.4 Adjusting the seat height
The seat height may need to be adjusted. Please ask your A2B
specialist dealer to adjust the seat height before your first journey.
You can also adjust the seat height yourself as indicated below:
Determining the correct seat height for the rider
There are several ways of determining the correct seat height; the
method which can be carried out without any other equipment is
performed as follows: Sit on the saddle and stretch one leg. Put
the heel of your foot on the pedal which is at the lowest point of the
crank turn. Your knee should now be almost straight.
If you are sitting right on the saddle while in this position then the
saddle height is correct.
Of course, you do not then ride with your legs stretched. When you
put your foot on the pedal while in the correct riding position (ball
of the foot and base of the toe joint above the pedal axle), the knee
will still remain slightly bent at the lowest point of the crank turn if
the saddle height has been adjusted correctly.
A short test ride will tell you if the saddle is too high. If your pelvis
tilts to the right and left in time with the pedalling rhythm then the
saddle is too high. If the saddle is too low, you will usually only find
out after many kilometres with pain in your knees.
