SEAT LENGTH AND SADDLE ADJUSTMENT
The distance between the grips of the handlebar and the saddle as well as the tilt of the saddle have an influence
on the back tilt and thus on the ride comfort. Via the seat rails (see arrow) this distance can be changed to a small
extent. However, moving the saddle rails in the seat post also affects the pedalling process. Depending on
whether the saddle is positioned further forward or backward, your child will pedal more or less from behind. If
the saddle is not positioned horizontally, your child can not pedal with ease and needs to constantly support on the
handlebar so as not to slip off the saddle.
•
Make sure that the screw connections on the seat post are tightened with the specified torque (5 Nm).
Use a torque wrench and do not exceed the maximum screw torque!
•
Never clamp the saddle in the arches of the saddle rails, but always in the straight area.
The saddle of the BEN-E-BIKE may look "uncomfortable" at first glance, but has been rated in various test drives
as significantly more comfortable compared to conventional saddles. The seat allows much more "travel" than
conventional upholstery due to its very flexible structure.
