A. Stand over height
1. Top Tube frame eBikes
WARNING: If your eBike does not fit properly, you may lose control and fall.
If your new eBike doesn’t fit, please contact BIKE.com at [email protected] or call at
1-(877)-755-2453(BIKE) or ask your dealer for all service to exchange it before you ride it.
3. Fit
NOTE: Correct fit is an essential element of bicycling safety, performance and comfort.
Making the adjustments to your eBike that result in correct fit for your body and riding
conditions requires experience, skill, and special tools. Always have your dealer make the
adjustments on your eBike; or, if you have the experience, skill, and tools,
have your dealer check your work before riding.
Stand over height is the basic element of eBike
fit (fig. 4). It is the distance from the ground to
the top of the eBikes frame at that point where
your crotch is when straddling the eBike.
To check for correct stand over height,
straddle the eBike while wearing the kind of
shoes in which you’ll be riding, and bounce
vigorously on your heels. If your crotch
touches the frame, the eBike is too big for you.
Don’t even ride the eBike around the block.
An eBike which you ride only on paved
surfaces and never take off-road should give
you a minimum stand over height clearance of
two inches (5 cm). An eBike that you’ll ride on
unpaved surfaces should give you a minimum
of three inches (7.5 cm) of stand over height
clearance. And an eBike that you’ll use off road
should give you four inches (10 cm) or more of
clearance.
2. Step-through frame eBikes
Stand over height does not apply to eBikes with step-through frames. Instead, the limiting
dimension is determined by saddle height range. You must be able to adjust your saddle
position as described in 3.B without exceeding the limits set by the height of the top of the seat
tube and the” Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark on the seat post.
