NOTE: Some eBikes have a sight hole in the seat tube, the purpose of which is to make it easy to
see whether the seat post is inserted in the seat tube far enough to be safe.
If your eBike has such a sight hole, use it instead of the “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum
Extension” mark to make sure the seat post is inserted in the seat tube far enough to be visible
through the sight hole.
If your eBike has an interrupted seat tube, as is the case on
some suspension eBikes, you must also make sure that the
seat post is far enough into the frame so that you can touch it
through the bottom of the interrupted seat tube with the tip
of your finger without inserting your finger beyond its first
knuckle. Also see NOTE above and FIG 7).
WARNING: If your seat post is not inserted in the seat
tube as described in B.1 above, the seat post, binder or
even frame may break, which could cause you to lose
control and fall.
2. Front and back adjustment. The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to help you get the
optimal position on the eBike. Please contact

or ask your dealer for all service to set the saddle for your optimal riding position
and to show you how to make this adjustment. If you choose to make your own front and back
adjustment, make sure that the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part of the saddle
rails and is not touching the curved part of the rails, and that you are using the recommended
torque on the clamping fastener(s) (Appendix E or the manufacturer’s instructions) through the
sight hole.
3. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders like the
saddle nose angled up or down just a little. Your dealer can adjust saddle angle or teach you
how to do it. If you choose to make your own saddle angle adjustment and you have a single
bolt saddle clamp on your seat post, it is critical that you loosen the clamp bolt sufficiently to
allow any serrations on the mechanism to disengage before changing the saddle’s angle, and
then that the serrations fully re-engage before you tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended
torque (Appendix E or the manufacturer’s instructions).
WARNING: When making saddle angle adjustments with a single bolt saddle clamp,
always check to make sure that the serrations on the mating surfaces of the clamp are
not worn. Worn serrations on the clamp can allow the saddle to move, causing you to lose
control and fall.
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and
deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a
sudden failure of the bolt, causing you to lose control and fall.
