Basic adjustments
If you cannot achieve a comfortable seating position by adjusting the saddle and handle-
bar, you can improve your seating position by replacing specific components. Components
that can be replaced include
•
seatpost,
•
saddle,
•
handlebar stem,
•
handlebar,
•
cranks.
→
If you cannot achieve a comfortable seating position, have a bicycle dealer fit compo-
nents with different dimensions.
→
Note that there may be a reduction in foot clearance on road bikes due to the replace-
ment of the pedal cranks or tyres.
If you decide to sell or give the pedelec to another person, this person has the option
of replacing components to achieve an appropriate seating position.
5.4 observing the torque values
The torque value refers to the rotational force applied to screw connections on the pedelec,
for example. In order to tighten the screw connections correctly, always observe the torque
values (see section “Information on torque values” on Page 17
).
Warning
Incorrectly tightened screw connections can result in material fatigue
and eventually cause the screw connections to break.
Risk of accident and injury!
►
If the screw connections are loose, do not use the pedelec.
►
Tighten the screw connections with the correct torque values.
