SADDLE HEIGHT
To ride comfortably and pedal efficiently, it’s very
important to have the saddle at the correct height.
Your leg length determines the correct saddle height.
The saddle is at the correct height for you when, while
seated on the saddle, your knee is slightly bent when
the crank is at the maximum down stroke (pedal is
closest to the ground).
To adjust the saddle height, loosen the
seat binder bolt
(A) or the
quick release
(B) and move the seat post up
or down as required. Make sure that the saddle is
parallel to the top tube of the tricycle. Retighten the
seat post tight enough so that you cannot twist the
saddle out of alignment.
A loose seat post will allow the saddle to turn or slip
and may cause you to lose control and fall. Therefore:
1. Ask your tricycle retailer to help you make sure
you know how to correctly clamp your seat post.
2. Before you ride the tricycle, first check that the
seat post is securely clamped.
Under no circumstances should the seat post
project from the frame beyond its ‘Minimum
Insertion’ or ‘Maximum Extension’ mark.
WARNING: do not replace the seat post
with a post which is: A) not of the same
diameter or B) longer than the original. Either
will void the warranty and could lead to seat
post failure, loss of rider control and injury.
HANDLEBAR HEIGHT AND ANGLE
After you have set the saddle height and tilt, adjust
the handlebar for a safe and comfortable ride.
Ask your tricycle retailer for advice.
