Saddle adjustment
Check the seat height using the following method
and be sure to wear shoes with a flat sole. Sit on
the saddle and place the heel on the pedal in the
lowest position. In this position the leg should be fully
stretched. Make sure that your hips remain straight.
• To adjust the saddle height, you must loosen the
Quick Release clamp at the top of the Seat Tube.
• Now you can adjust the Seat Post to your desired
saddle height. Make sure that the Seat Post is
greased. If the Seat Post feels tight, clean and
regrease both surfaces. Never force the Seat Post
and if you have further issues, please contact a
qualified bike mechanic for further advice.
• Align the saddle in the direction of travel and
tighten and close the Quick Release Seat Clamp
securely again. For more details about how to
operate Quick Releases please see chapter 10.
• Check the tightness of the seat post. Try to twist
the saddle. If it doesn’t twist, the seat post is tight.
• Double check to make sure the leg extension is
correct. Verify that you can easily and safely reach
the ground. If this is not the case, position the
saddle lower.
DANGER!
Do not raise the Seat post above the
minimum insertion line etched on the
post. Doing so may result in post/frame
failure and serious injury. If proper saddle
height cannot be achieved without raising
the post above this line, you need a
longer Seat post.
Because the battery mount is fixed to the seat post
and the battery cable has a certain length, it might be
necessary to adjust the position of the battery mount
to make the cable length fit your desired saddle
height.
• To move the battery mount, loosen the two bolts
that holds the battery mount bracket with an Allen
key and give the bolts a few counter clockwise
turns until they are no longer tigh and can be
moved.
• Adjust the battery mount position up or down the
Seat Post to fit the Power Cable length.
• Securely tighten the two bolts again with the Allen
key.
The Saddle can also be moved forward or backwards
and angled up or down. Try different positions to
find the best fit. A badly fitted Saddle can injure
nerves, joints, and blood vessels. Moving the Saddle
backward works your glutes harder and forward works
your quads harder. Generally, the front of the knee
should not pass the Pedal Spindle. Once comfortable,
check your saddle height again and adjust as
necessary.
