The Saddle should be roughly parallel to the ground,
but if it is not comfortable, angle the tip of the
saddle down to relieve pressure on the crotch or up
to distribute your weight over a greater area of the
Saddle. The seat should be tilted no more than 5° up
or down.
• To adjust the saddle position, use an Allen key.
• If you want to angle the Saddle tip downwards,
loosen the rear screw and tighten the front screw.
• If you want to angle the saddle tip upwards,
loosen the front screw and tighten the rear screw.
• When you have found the right position tighten
both screws securely.
If you want a riding position closer or further away
from the handlebar, you can move the saddle rail
forward or backwards to find the right position.
• Loosen the saddle’s both rear and front screw.
• Move the saddle rail to the desired position.
• Tighten both screws securely again.
DANGER!
The successful execution of the above
operations requires proper tools and
expertise. If you have any doubts about
the adjustments, please consult a
qualified bike mechanic.
Please refer to chapter 21 for appropriate
saddle rail torque values
When riding, your hips should remain stationary, and
your knee should only bend about 20-25° when the
pedal is all the way down.
Stem and handlebar adjustment
The height of the handlebar affects the pressure
on your hands and your back posture and has
a substantial impact on your ride comfort. The
advantages of an upright seating position are less
strain on the wrist, arms and neck. The disadvantage
is a higher load on the saddle. Outstretched seating
position advantages are less load in the saddle, more
efficient power transfer, more streamlined and more
weight on the front wheel. Disadvantages are higher
load on wrists, arms and neck.
You e-bike has a fixed headset Stem and a flat
Handlebar. The height of the handlebar is adjusted by
raising or lowering the height of the stem.

• To adjust the stem height, unscrew bolt (A) by a
couple of turns using an Allen key.
•
You are now able to adjust the stem height by
pulling the stem up- or downwards depending on you
desired height. Make sure never to position the Stem
above the minimum insertion line etched on the Stem.
• Re-tighten bolt (A) firmly once you have found the
desired height.
• To adjust the position of the handlebar, you
unscrew bolt (B) with an Allen key.
• The handlebar must always be horizontally centre
aligned, but you can twist the handlebar up or
down a bit to set the desired angle.
• Re-tighten the bolt (B) firmly once you have found
the desired angle of the handlebar.
DANGER!
Do not raise the Stem above the minimum
insertion line etched on the Stem. Doing
so may result in Stem/Frame failure and
serious injury.
