6.5.3 Determining the sitting position
The starting point for a comfortable posture is
the correct position of the
hips
. If the
hips are
in
the wrong position, it can cause different types
of pain, e.g. in the shoulder or back.
Figure 69: The
hips are
in the right position (green) or
incorrect position (red)
The pelvis is in the right position if the spine forms
an S-shape and a natural, easy arch.
The
hips are
positioned incorrectly if it tilts slightly
backwards. As a result, the spine becomes curved
and can no longer deflect to an optimal extent.
A suitable sitting position must be selected
beforehand depending on the
ebike
type,
physical fitness and desired trip distance or
speed.
It is especially advisable to check and optimi
z
e
the sitting position once more before longer rides.
