Read the section “Seating position” on Page 20 for information on the key characteristics
of an appropriate seating position.
The correct seating position may also depend on how the pedelec will be used, e.g.
predominantly for sport.
To adjust the saddle height, read the section “Saddle” in the full instruction manual.
Do not adjust the handlebar height unless you have the necessary know-how and tools
(see section “Handlebar” in the full instruction manual).
If your pedelec is fitted with an Ahead handlebar stem, have the handlebar height adjusted
by a bicycle dealer.
