• An electric bike behaves slightly differently to a normal bike, notably it has faster acceleration.
A progressive usage and appropriate training will help you become used to it.
• On some bikes, especially on small sizes, the wheel base is short and the front wheel is close
to the pedals. Therefore there is a risk of touching the wheel or mud guard with your foot when
you turn, especially at low speed (Figure 2). Do not pedal when you turn the handlebar at low
speed. The level of risk depends on the size of your foot, the size of the cranks, the pedals and
even the tire. Any modification of components can change this distance and cause contact
and a fall. It is therefore best to get advice from your retailer if you wish to replace any parts.
• You should also know that after the first bedding in rides, the cable tension, the brakes and
the steering can need adjustment. We advise that you go to your local Moustache retailer to
carry this out. If something does not seem right during this period, or for any other question
on the usage of your bike, do not hesitate to contact your local retailer.

For your safety and to guarantee optimal long term functioning of your Moustache bike,
you can establish a regular maintenance calendar with your retailer.
This will be determined based on how frequently you ride, the distance you ride, your riding
style, as well as the terrain you ride on (see the sections 5.4 WEAR PARTS AND INSPECTION
FREQUENCIES and 7
|
SERVICE RECORD).
Your Moustache retailer is the best placed to advise you and carry out all maintenance
operations, but if you prefer to do some yourself, you will find some advice in the following
pages.

Each Moustache is unique, and you are too! It is therefore essential to adapt your Moustache
to your morphology for optimal comfort.
3.1 HAUTEUR DE SELLE
The first set up to carry out on your Moustache is the
saddle height. Once again, your local retailer can help you
do this. You must not hesitate to adjust this if you do not
find the correct height immediately.
We have a good tip to help you find the correct setting qui-
ckly: position the crank in line with the seat tube, without
being lopsided on the saddle and place your heel on the
pedal with your leg almost straight. (Figure 3).
N.B.: On the Lundi 27 model, the position is a little lowe, the
leg can stay slightly bent.
To adjust the height you need to open the seat clamp's
quick release or unscrew the screw on the seat clamp with
a 4 or 5 mm allen key.
Once the height is adjusted, close the quick release lever.
If necessary adjust the tightness level on the opposite nut so that the lever tightens around
midway through closing.
In the case of a seat clamp with screw, tighten the screw to the recommended torque level that
you will find in the section 4.9 TIGHTENING TORQUE VALUES or marked next to the screw.
WARNING!
For seat clamps with screws, you should never go over the
recommended torque level, this could damage your frame.
Never go over the maximum height level on your seat post marked by
the engraving « INSERT MINI » OR « STOP ». This is for your safety, as
well as the reLiability of your bike. (See Figure 4).
If you cannot obtain the right saddle height without going past this
limit, contact your local retailer.
