Adjusting your Ever-E-Day

How to Adjust Your Ever-E-Day to Fit Each Individual Rider

The Ever-E-Day is adjustable to a wide range of riders.

Adjustments can be made to the main frame (frame size) as well

as the seatmast / saddle height and stem / handlebar height.

Frame Size:

The Ever-E-Day frame can be adjusted between a

50 cm and 60 cm in 2 cm increments.
If you are comfortable with your current bike, you can use that

measurement as a guideline for your frame adjustment.
If you experience pain in your neck, shoulders, back or knees

from your current bike, you might want to go to a bike shop that

offers fitting. They can find the correct size to set your

Ever-E-Day to for a perfect fit.

Saddle Height:

Proper saddle height is important in

prevent-ing injuries as well as increasing riding efficiency and

com-fort. A rough rule of thumb method for determining

proper saddle height is when the pedal is in the 6 o’clock

position, your leg should have a slight bend in it with the ball

of your foot centered on the pedal, your knee almost fully

extended (but not quite). A quick way of achieving this is to

raise your saddle in small increments until you notice your leg

is fully extended in the 6 o’clock position and then lower the

saddle slightly. Rocking your hips to be able to reach the

pedals during the pedal stroke is to be avoided.

Special Feature:

If you require the saddle to be lower than

the current lowest setting, you can purchase a shim and

seatpost from Bike Friday so the seat post is usable directly

inserted into the mainframe without the use of the seatmast.
