2.3. Adjusting the saddle height
The right saddle height ensures that your
power is efficiently converted into for-
ward movement: With vertical crank
arms, your leg should be almost straight.
To check the saddle height, lean against a wall
while sitting on your pedelec, for example.
To adjust the saddle height, first fully extend the seat post using the lever on the
left-hand side of the handlebars. Then loosen the clamp on the seat tube with an
Allen key so that you can change the insertion depth of the seat post.
Tighten the clamp on the seat tube with 6-8 Nm.
If the seat post is not inserted deep enough into the seat tube, the seat
tube can be damaged and break.
→ Only pull the seat post out of the frame up to the distance mentioned
below:

2.4. Suspension fork setup
For optimal riding fun you can adjust the suspension fork to your weight.
The shock is delivered from the factory with a spring that matches your body weight.
At the fork a SAG of 15-25% is recommended.
SAG refers to the immersion of the spring element by its body weight in
% of the total spring travel.
Lower SAG makes the spring element „harder“, higher SAG makes the
spring element „softer“. When driving over the same obstacle, the spring
element with more SAG releases more suspension travel.
