ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT
For most users, the seat height should be set by placing the ball of their foot on
the pedal when the pedal is at its lowest point. In this orientation, their legs
should be almost fully extended, with a slight bend at the knee. The correct seat
height should not allow leg strain from overextension and the hips should not
rock from side to side when pedaling. To adjust the seat height:
1. Open the quick release lever by swinging the lever open and outwards fully .
2. Move the seat up and down by sliding the seat post in or out of the seat tube.
Set the desired seat height.
WARNING:
Ensure that both the seat post and seat are both properly
adjusted before riding. DO NOT raise the seat post beyond the
minimum insertion marking etched onto the seat post tube (as shown at figure
to right). If the seat post projects from the frame beyond these markings
(shown figure to right), the seat post and the frame may break, which could
cause a rider to lose control and have an accident.
Ensure that the minimum insertion markings on the seat post are inside the
seat tube of the frame (shown far right).
3. After tightening the adjustment nut (opposite the quick release lever) on the seat post quick release
properly, close the quick release lever fully so it looks like the image above and the seat cannot move
up, down, to the left, or right.
WARNING
: Before using the bike, always check to ensure all latches, levers, and quick
releases are properly tightened and undamaged. Check that they are correctly tightened and
secured before every ride and after every time the bike is left unsupervised, even for a short
time. Otherwise, the handlebar stem and/or seat post may come loose and can result in loss of control,
damage to the bike/property, serious injury, or death.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT POSITION AND ANGLE
To change the angle and horizontal position of the seat:
1. Use a 6 mm hex wrench to loosen but not remove the seat
adjustment bolt underneath the seat shown on figure to the right.
2. Once the bolt and clamp are adequately loose, rotate the front of
the seat up or down to adjust the angle of the seat; a horizontal seat
position is desirable for most riders. Move the seat backwards or
forwards within the white limit markings on the seat rail, which show
the minimum and maximum horizontal movement allowed for this component. Do not exceed these
limits.
