2.5 OTHERS DISPOSITIONS

The first thing to do when starting use is to check the presence and integrity of the protections and the operation of the 
safety devices. If you find any defects, do not use the pedal assisted bicycle!

2.6 Unpacking and mass to point

The pedal assisted bicycle is delivered fully assembled and in working condition.

2.6.1  Saddle adjustment

Adjusting the height of the saddle is an essential prerogative for the correct use of the pedal assisted bicycle. Incorrect 
adjustment can generate structural breaks in the frame.

Adjust the height of the saddle by activating the quick release mechanism (Ref. A - Figure 1).
Check that the mechanism is tightened before testing the seat and using the vehicle. Do not raise the saddle beyond the 
limit switch signal located in the seat post (Ref. B - Figure 1).
