Correct fit is an essential part of eBike safety, comfort and proper
performance. If you are not able to make the proper adjustments to
ensure proper fit yourself, please seek professional assistance.
Note: This will not apply to step-through models
A properly fitted road bike to be ridden on paved surfaces should have a
minimum stand-over clearance of 1 inch (2.5cm).
Stand-over Height
Diamond Frame eBikes:
Stand-over height is an important
basic element of proper bike fit. It refers
to the distance from the ground, to the
top of the bike frame where your crotch
is when you are straddling the bike.
To check for proper stand-over
height, straddle the bike and bounce on
your heels. If you touch the frame, the
bike is too big for you.
Tip: Be sure to wear the shoes that
you’d wear while riding
Figure 1. Standover Height
Note: The seat post must be inserted to
at least
the minimum seat post depth
requirement. If you cannot adjust your seat properly
and
meet the mimimum
seat post depth requirement, you will need to purchase a longer seat post.
If you cannot test this yourself, head to a local bike shop and have a
professional help you set the seat to an optimal riding position.
1. Sit on the seat and place one heel on
a pedal (doesn’t matter which side).
2. Rotate the crank until the pedal with
your heel on it is in the down position
and the crank is arm is parallel to the
seat tube.
3. Your leg should be completely
straight. If it isn’t, your seat height needs
to be adjusted. If you must rock your
hips in order for your heel to touch the
pedal, your seat is too high. If your leg
is bent while your heel is resting on the
pedal, your eat is too low.

Seat Position
Proper seat adjustment is an important factor when it comes to getting the best
of both comfort and performance out of your eBike. Follow the steps listed below to
check for your correct seat height.
After any saddle adjustments, make sure that the seat adjusting
mechanism is properly tightened before riding. Failure to do so can
casue damage to the seat post and/or can cause you to lose control and
fall. When properly tightened, the seat should not be able to move in any
direction. Periodically check to ensure it is properly tightened.
