Operation
6.5.11 Suspension
A
n ebike's
fork suspension and
rear shock
suspension can be adjusted to the rider's weight
in up to six increments, depending on the
suspension system.

Follow the the correct order for adjustment.
6.5.12 Fork sag
Settings on the
frameset
change riding
performance significantly. The rider needs to
get used to the
ebike
and break it in to prevent
accidents.
The sag depends on the position and rider’s
weight and should be between 10% and 30%
of the maximum fork deflection, depending on
preferences and on how the
ebike
is used.
Greater sag (20%…30%)
A greater sag increases sensitivity to bumps, thus
producing greater suspension motion. A greater
sensitivity to bumps ensures more comfortable
ride performance and is used on bicycles with
longer
travel
.
Decreased sag (10%...20%)
A decreased sag reduces sensitivity to bumps,
thus producing less suspension motion. A lower
sensitivity to bumps ensures a firmer, more
efficient ride and is generally used on bicycles
with
shorter travel
.
The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should change the basic setting
to suit the surface and their preferences.
It is advisable to make a note of the basic settings.
These can then be used as a starting point for
subsequent
optimized
settings and as a
safeguard against unintentional changes.
