NOTICE:
Ensure all hardware is tightened properly following recommended torque values. Also ensure that all safety checks in the following sections are
performed
before the first use of the bike.
Do not extend any components including the handlebar stem, seat post, or seat saddle beyond any minimum insertion marking etched into the components.
Ensure that all hardware is properly tightened (to the values in the Recommended Torque Values table) and components are secured before moving on to
the next step, otherwise property, bike damage, serious injury, or death could occur.
Rider Comfort
Generally, for the most comfortable riding position and best possible pedaling efficiency, the seat height should be set correctly in relation to the rider's leg length,
as described in the Adjusting the Seat Height section, allowing the knee to be slightly bent with the ball of the foot on the pedal and the pedal at the lowest point at
the bottom of the pedal stroke.
Depending on a rider's preference, ability, and amount of experience with bike and ebike riding, lowering the seat so the rider can put one or both feet on the
ground without dismounting from the seat may offer a safer and more comfortable experience while operating the bike.
To obtain maximum comfort, riders should not overextend their arms' reach when riding. It is generally advised to ensure the handlebar and brake lever angles allow
for a comfortable arm position and relatively straight line from forearms, wrists, and hands. Ensure the handlebar angle is adjusted so that it allows the handlebar to
remain clear of the rider's body while turning.
A bike fitting professional, such as a certified, reputable bike mechanic who specializes in bike fit, should be consulted to ensure you have a good fit

If you have any questions regarding the proper fit of your bike please consult a certified, reputable local bike mechanic for assistance fitting the bike to a
rider or contact us.
Adjusting the seat height
For most users, the seat height should be set by placing the ball of their foot on the pedal when the pedal is at its lowest point. In this orientation their leg should be almost fully
extended, with a slight bend at the knee. The correct seat height should not allow leg strain from overextension and the hips should not rock from side to side when
pedaling. To adjust the seat height:
