Practice clipping your shoes in and
out of the pedals‘ locking system
before your first ride in a quiet, safe
place. Any trouble releasing from clipless
pedals is a safety risk.
With system pedals, you can adjust
how much force you need to release
the shoe from the pedal. Please test
this on your first ride with a setting that re -
leases very easily! Regularly clean your
magnet pedals and keep them in good con-
dition with a suitable spray lubricant.
If your pedelec has rubber or plastic
cage pedals, please familiarise
yourself with the grip which these
offer. In wet conditions, rubber and plastic
pedals can be very slippery!
Adjusting the saddle
Before you use your pedelec for the first time, the
saddle position has to be adjusted to suit your
body size. This will allow you to ride your bike
safely.
The height, horizontal orientation and inclination
must be adjusted for the saddle and the height
and orientation of the stem for the handlebars.
Finding the correct seat height
Knee joint of the upper leg at
min. 90°, angle of arm 90°
Correct seat height
90°
90°
90°
The knee should be above the
axle of the front pedal
90°
Adjust the saddle to the estimated correct height.
Sit on the pedelec. Have someone help hold you
in place or lean against a wall or railing.
Move a pedal to its lowest position and place
your heel on it. Your leg should now be straight.
If you now place your foot in the correct riding
position, your leg should be slightly bent.
Never pull the seat post further out
than the maximum mark on the tube
frame! If there is no maximum mark,
the seat post should always be at least
7.5 cm deep in the tube frame.
7.5 cm
STOP
You are using the correct foot position for riding
when your foot’s widest point is above the pedal
axle.
If you are using clipless pedals, you should ad-
just the pedal plates to ensure that your foot is in
this position. The widest part of your foot should
be above the pedal axle.
This prevents damage to the musculoskeletal
system and ensures maximum transmission of
force.
