ADJUSTING THE SADDLE POSITION
The angle and fore-aft position of the saddle can both be adjusted. To establish the most comfortable
position you should start by adjusting the saddle into a neutral position; you can then work from there to find
the best position. First loosen the Pentaclip bolt using a 5mm hex key until the saddle can be moved with little
force. Be careful not to loosen this bolt too much as this will make adjustment more difficult.
Move the saddle rails in the clamp so that they are roughly centred (half way between maximum fore and aft
position). Adjust the saddle into a level position, so that the top surface of the saddle is roughly level between
the front and rear edge (fig. 36). Once the saddle is in a neutral position, tighten the Pentaclip bolt to 15Nm.
Test the saddle position, you can adjust it to make it more comfortable.
ANGLE
If the nose feels like its pointing up, or feels as though the back of the saddle isn’t giving enough support, you
can angle the saddle forward. The saddle could conversely feel like it needs tilting back a little, to give more
support from the nose, or if it feels like all the riders weight is resting on the back of the saddle. Once you
have adjusted the saddle, tighten the Pentaclip bolt and spend some time riding, readjusting if necessary.

FORE-AFT POSITION
Moving the saddle back and forth from the neutral middle
position will not only affect the reach (to the handlebar)
but also the position relative to the pedals. By moving the
saddle back you will increase the reach to the bars and
make the bike a little more stretched out. Moving the saddle
forward will make the bike feel shorter and more upright.
Test the bike and readjust if necessary, making sure you
securely tighten the Pentaclip to 15Nm.
ADDITIONAL SADDLE HEIGHT
If you can’t gain enough height by re-positioning the saddle, there are two Brompton options which give more
height: a telescopic seat pillar and a longer pillar extended by 60mm. The telescopic pillar can accommodate
the needs of taller riders, with little change to the folded size.
Pentaclip
WARNING
Do not fit the pentaclip in the ‘layback’ poisition (fig. 38) it should only be used in the forward orientation as
shown (fig. 37). The Brompton Electric is not compatible with the saddle adaptor pin; part QSAPA.
