Adjusting the height of the seat
In order to adjust the height of the seat you’ll have to unlock the lever that can be seen in the picture
below, adjust the saddle height to the desired position without exceeding the mark carved onto the
saddle’s tube. Lock the lever in place and you’re done.
The saddle’s height must be set so that you can place your feet at the ground comfortably.

Lubrication
Chain
The chain must be regularly (especially after riding in the rain) lubricated with a standard chain-caring product.
Physical stretching of the chain requires checking procedures to be carried out to ensure that the tension is
adequate. Examine the chain tension by positioning the bike on its kickstand and test whether the chain, while
being pushed upwards or downwards has a maximum gap of 10-15 mm in between. If this is not the case
please proceed to the following steps:
!) Loosen the axle nuts on both sides of the wheel and the brake counter - bracket (for the back pedalling
brake) on the left side of the rear - end stay. When a gearbox removal is required please see the
manufacturer’s instruction manual
.
2) Subsequently, adjust the chain’s tension by turning the tension screw nuts on both the left and the right
sides.
3)Before tightening of the axle nuts, check whether the wheel stands in the centre and adjust if needed.
4) Tightly screw the axle nuts and the tension screw nuts. (Tightening Torgue not less than 30N-M)
5) Recheck the chain tension
An over-tightened chain can cause pops during riding.
