How the bike fits
The best riding position is the one that you are most comfortable in, but a
badly adjusted bicycle may lead to back or joint pain and reduce your
control. Check that your Saddle and Handlebar are at the correct height
and that you can reach Brake and Gear Levers comfortably.
For most people, the ball of the foot (1) should be placed on the Pedal (2)
directly above the Pedal Spindle (3).
Saddle
The saddle height is an important component of the overall riding position. While seated, you should have a slight bend in your knee
when the Pedal is pushed down all the way. The leg should not be fully extended so make sure the Saddle is not too high. If the seat
is too low, repetitive strain on the knee may lead to pain.
The Saddle can be moved up and down, forward and back and angled up and down. Play ar
ound with it to get the best fit
. A badly
fi
tted Saddle can injure nerves, joints, and blood vessels.

Gears
Test ride in a safe area away from traffic to familiarize yourself with the function of the Gear Shifters and how to upshift and
downshift. Check that indexing (shifting from gear to gear) is crisp and that you are able to shift into the lowest and highest
gears without the Chain skipping.
Check for tight links in the Chain and that the Chain turns freely through the Gears.
With a pedelec, drive assistance begins immediately when you step on the pedal. Squeeze the brakes before mounting your
bike to avoid any unintentional movement.
