8. SADDLE POSITION/ SADDLE HEIGHT (MODEL-SPECIFIC)
A properly adjusted saddle can minimize discomfort on the folding e-bike and make your pedaling
more efficient. Take some time to get the correct saddle position as it will improve your overall
riding experience. Saddles can be adjusted in three ways: saddle height, forward/ backward position
and tilt.
Open the quick-release clamp on the seat post. If the saddle can be rotated / adjusted with the
quick release closed, readjust the quick release with the thumbscrew on the quick release. To do
this, the quick release must be open. If it is too difficult to close the quick release, loosen the
thumbscrew slightly.
Note: Some models use no quick-release clamp, in this case use the designated tool to release/
fasten the screw which fixes the saddle.
The saddle height controls the leverage for your pedaling. Too low and it puts stress on your knees,
too high and you may rub the saddle excessively. There are a number of ways to get the right saddle
height. A good way of doing it is to sit on the folding e-bike with both feet on the pedals – get help
from second person not to fall. Place your pedals in the 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock position. Your
bottom leg should be fully extended when the heel is placed on the lower pedal. If it’s angled you
need to raise the saddle. If you can’t reach the pedal with heel, then lower the saddle.
You can change the saddle angle and the front/ rear position by loosening the Allen screw (1) and
adjusting the saddle to your convenience. Tighten the Allen screw again when you have adjusted
the correct position.
SAFETY NOTE:
The seat post has a MAX marked line (that is the safety line), this is the MAX height that you
can raise the saddle. In any cases of adjustment, the MAX marked line should always below the seat post
clamp. Serious injury may be caused to the rider if the saddle height is raised beyond the MAX line.
