The ErgoMesh seat
The ErgoMesh seat is ergonomically shaped
and supports the natural S-curve of your
spine. ErgoMesh XL seat is wider, but might
not be compatible with underseat steering.
Forces from pedalling are supported in the
area of your lower back just above your hips
(lumbar support).
Eight tension belts on the back side of the
seat allow the adjustment oft the seat net to
your needs.
Does the seat feel to soft or gives you the
feeling of sitting on the seat frame, increase
the tension of the belts on the back side of
the seat.
Is it hard or uncomfortable, or do you feel
like slipping off when going through curves,
release the belts in the relating area.
It may be necessary to put a high force on the
belts to apply sufficient tension to the belts. If
it can not be done by hand, make use of a flat
nose pliers and pull the lose end of the belts
firmly. To easily loosen the belt, pull up the
round end of the strap retainer.
The angle of all ErgoMesh-seats can be adjust-
ed. Loosen the upper and the lower quick-
release lever – the middle lever should remain
closed.
Move the seat into the desired angle. Then
close the upper and lower quick-release lever,
regarding the sheets are completely covered
by the hole diameter of the clamping surface.
To adapt the bicycle perfectly to your needs,
we offer the following versions of the Er-
goMesh-Seat besides the standard version.
ErgoMesh seat on the Grasshopper
Taking off the seat
Both ErgoMesh and BodyLink seat can be
removed from the bicycle without tools.
(First step when folding Grasshopper, the seat
needs to be removed. See page 20.)
Open all three quick release levers of the seat
mountings: Unscrew the nut of the upper seat
quick release approximately 4 turns. Turn the
quick release levers of the middle and lower
seat quick release counter clockwise approx-
imately 4 turns.
With a water bottle mounting installed, space
is limited and it may be easier to hold the
quick release lever and turn the flat nut on
the right side (chain side) of the seat mount-
ings with a 5 mm Allen key.
Pull the lower seat half out of its mountings,
then the upper seat half. After dismounting
the seat tighten the quick release again to the
quick release axle from bending when the
folding buffer touches the frame.
Attention!
When storing the seat,
please take care not to bend or break the
seat mountings. Protect the edges of the
seat mountings with padding to avoid
scratching other objects with the seat
mountings.
