6.5.4 Saddle
6.5.4.1 Replacing the saddle
Not included in price
If the pre-mounted saddle is uncomfortable or
causes pain, a saddle optimised to the rider’s
physique must be used. To do so:
• Determine the saddle shape (see
Section 6.5.4.1)
• Establish the saddle width (see Section 6.5.4.2 or
6.5.4.3)
• Select the saddle hardness (see Section 6.5.4.5)
• Check the saddle.
6.5.4.2 Determining saddle shape
Ladies’ saddle
The distance between the ischial tuberosities and
the pubic symphysis is on average a quarter less
in women than in men. This is why painful
pressure points can occur on men's saddles
through the saddle nose since saddles that are
too narrow or too soft press on the genitals or
coccyx
Figure 89: Female pelvis on saddles
For anatomical reasons, the pubic symphysis
(front cartilage connection between the two halves
of the pelvis) is, on average, a quarter lower than
in the male pelvis. The angle between the pubic
bones is wider.
The pelvis is more mobile in women than it is in
men. Consequently, the pelvis often tilts forward
more on the saddle. This causes high pressure in
the genital area.

Sitting discomfort due to wrong saddle
Around 50% of all pedelec riders experience
discomfort due to incorrect sitting.

Adjust the saddle (see Section 6.5.5).
 Check settings.

If the saddle does not fit or causes pain,
replace existing saddle with a large one which
matches the sit bone distance.
Saddles are components that may be replaced
after approval by the vehicle or parts
manufacturer. Replacing different sizes within a
product series is permitted for saddles.
Moreover, saddles may be exchanged if the
rearward offset to the series or original range of
use is not greater than 20 mm since a change in
load distribution outside the intended adjustment
range can lead to critical steering performance.
The saddle shape plays a role here.
