In order for you to control the pedelec safely, the seating position must be adapted to your
individual needs.
The ideal seating position depends on the frame size and geometry of the pedelec, the
height of the rider, as well as the handlebar and saddle settings. Specialist know-how is
required to achieve the best seating position. The best seating position may also depend
on how the pedelec will be used, e.g. predominantly for sport.
The key characteristics of an appropriate seating position are:
• If a pedal is at the top, the knee angle of the upper leg and the arm angle is 90°. The
lower leg must be slightly bent (see Fig. "Characteristics of an appropriate seating
position", left).
• When one pedal is forwards, the knee must be above the axle of the front pedal
(see Fig. ‘Characteristics of an appropriate seating position’, right).
•
The arms must be relaxed and bent outwards slightly (not shown in the illustration).
• The back is not vertical in relation to the seatpost.
