The rear swingarm is held in the normal position by a double-sided Velcro strap.  This bolts on through the 

mudguard hole as shown in the picture above.  The purpose of the strap is to keep the rear swingarm from 

dangling when the bike is picked up.  To fasten, place the bike on the ground with no weight on it.  Wrap one 

side of the Velcro strap around the curved frame tube where the corresponding Velcro strip has been placed.  The 

other loose end of the Velcro strap is then wrapped over the first. 

 

3.4 Seat angle adjustment 

The seat has 5 positions of adjustment, and adjustment is simple and quick. 

 

Loosen the seat mount quick-release lever.  

 

If you want to make the seat more reclined set it to the slots closest to the seat cup.  If you want to 

make the seat less reclined, then set it to the slots furthest from the seat cup. 

 

Re-tighten the seat mount quick-release.   

 

 

3.5 Leg length 

A small adjustment can be quite noticeable, just like adjusting the saddle on a conventional bike. 

 

Change gear to the smallest chain ring. 

 

Undo the two clamp bolts under the front boom.  They must be loose. 

 

Slide the front boom in or out by twisting and pulling or pushing  

 

 

TIP – It is easier to move the boom if you get a helper to sit on the 

bike with both brakes on. 

 

Check the boom is vertical by eye.  It's not necessary to measure anything, if it looks upright, then it 

will be fine. 

 

Tighten the two clamp bolts under the front boom. 

 

If you have moved the boom by more than approximately 10mm you will need to check that you 

have the correct chain length (see Fitting the Chain - section 2). 

 

 

3.6 Brake lever adjustment 

The position of the brake lever relative to the handlebars 

(the ‘reach’) can be adjusted.  It can be useful for move 

the lever closer to the handlebar for riders with smaller 

hands. 

 

The lever has a reach adjustment screw on the underside 

of the lever body, between the cable entry and the 

handlebar clamp.  Use a 2 mm hex key to adjust the 

screw.
