ADJUSTMENTS OF YOUR E-BIKE
TO THE RIDER
By choosing a specific type of bike you roughly
determine the posture you will be riding in.
However, some components of your FISHAW
bike are especially designed so that you can
adjust them to your body proportions up to a
certain degree. This includes the seat post, the
handlebars, and the stem as well as the brake
levers.
As all adjustments require know-how,
experience, suitable tools, and skills, you
should restrict yourself to adjusting your
seating position and handlebars. Contact your
bicycle mechanic if you are not happy with
your seating position or if you want something
changed.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure
to make a short functional check as described
in
the chapter “Before Every Ride”
and do a
test ride on your FISHAW electric bike in an
area free of traffic.
All tasks described in the following
require the know-how of a mechanic and
appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the
bolted connections always with the greatest
attention. Increase the torque values bit by bit
and check the fit of the component in between.
Use a torque wrench and never exceed the
maximum torque values! You will find the
prescribed values directly on the components
and/or in the operating instructions of the
component manufacturers on their respective
websites or contact your bicycle mechanic.
The seating position depends mostly on
how you want to use the FISHAW electric bike.
If sitting on the saddle causes you
trouble, e.g., because it numbs your crotch, this
may be due to the saddle. Your FISHAW
electric bike has a wide range of saddles
available, and we have designed our bikes with
the most comfortable saddle for the intended
purpose of your FISHAW model.
ADJUSTING THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT
HEIGHT
The correct saddle height depends on the
length of your legs. When pedalling, the ball of
your foot should be positioned above the
centre of the pedal axle. With your feet in this
position, you should not be able to stretch your
legs completely straight at the lowest point,
otherwise your pedalling will become
awkward. Check the height of your saddle with
flat-soled shoes. This is best done with suitable
cycling shoes.
Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the
pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should be
fully stretched, and your hips should remain
horizontal.
To adjust the saddle height, loosen the quick-
release lever
(see the chapter “How to use the
Quick-
Releases”)
. Now you can perform the
vertical adjustment of the seat post.
Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far.
The mark on the seat post (max., min., stop or
the like) should always remain within the seat
tube.
Always grease the surface of an
aluminium seat post that is inserted into a seat
tube made of aluminium.
