Once the saddle is at the correct height, make sure that the seat post does not project from the frame beyond its “minimum
insertion” mark (fig. 4).
WARNING: If your seat post is not inserted in the seat tube as described in B.1 above, the seat post, binder or even
frame may break, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
1. Front and back adjustment. The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to help you get the optimal position on the bike. If
you choose to make your own front and back adjustment, make sure that the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part of
the saddle rails and is not touching the curved part of the rails, and that you are using the recommended torque on the clamping
fastener(s) (Appendix D or the manufacturer’s instructions).
2. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders like the saddle nose angled up or down just
a little. If you choose to make your own saddle angle adjustment and you have a single bolt saddle clamp on your seat post, it is
critical that you loosen the clamp bolt sufficiently to allow any serrations on the mechanism to disengage before changing the
saddle’s angle, and then that the serrations fully re-engage before you tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended torque (Appendix
D or the manufacturer’s instructions).
WARNING: Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts
that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt, causing you to lose
control and fall.
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on performance and comfort. To find your best saddle position,
make only one adjustment at a time.
WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly seated and
tightened before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp can cause damage to the seat post, or can cause
you to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened saddle adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement in
any direction. Periodically check to make sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened.
If carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and fore-and-aft position, your saddle is still uncomfortable, you may need a different
saddle design. Saddles, like people, come in many different shapes, sizes and resilience. Your local bike shop can help you select
a saddle which, when correctly adjusted for your body and riding style, will be comfortable.
C. Handlebar height and angle
The AR Ī V eBike does not have a conventional stem and is not adjustable.
WARNING: Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts
that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt, causing you to lose
control and fall.
WARNING: An insufficiently tightened stem clamp bolt, handlebar clamp bolt may compromise steering action,
which could cause you to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle between your legs and attempt
to twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in
relation to the stem, the bolts are insufficiently tightened.
WARNING: Do not add aerodynamic extensions to handlebars.
