SADDLE POSITION
Adjusting the saddle correctly is an important factor to get the best performance and comfort from
your E-Bike.
If you find the saddle position is not comfortable, there are two adjustments.
•
A: UP AND DOWN ADJUSTMENT.
Your leg length determines the correct saddle height.
The saddle is at the correct height if you can just reach the "down" pedal with one heel when you are
seated on the saddle and the crank arms are parallel to the seat tube. To check what the correct saddle
height is for you, please follow the steps below:
1.
Sit on the saddle, and place one heel on a pedal.
2. Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the down position and the crank arm is
parallel to the seat tube. Your leg should be completely straight and just touching the centre of
the pedal. If this is not the case, your saddle height needs to be adjusted.
•
B: SADDLE TILT ADJUSTMENT
Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders prefer to have the saddle nose tilted slightly up
or down. You can adjust your saddle angle by loosening the saddle quick release, tilting the saddle to the
desired position, and retightening the saddle quick release, making sure that is tight enough so that you
cannot move or jiggle the saddle. Very small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect
upon performance and comfort. Consequently, whenever you make a change to your saddle position,
make only one directional change at a time, and make the changes in small increments until you find
the position where you feel most comfortable.
