Saddle Height - Charge City Owner's Manual

Saddle Height

Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor
in getting the most performance and comfort
from your bicycle.
Improperly adjusted saddle(seat) height
could affect the rider's ability to reach the
handlebar and pedals resulting in unexpected
movement, loss of control and serious injury
or death.
Determining the correct saddle
height:
1. Start by rotating the crank so the pedal with
your heel on it is in the down position and the
crank arm is parallel to the seat tube.

2. When seated on the saddle:
If your leg is locked straight at the knee with
your foot on the pedal in the down position,
the saddle is too high.
If your hips must rock for the heel to reach
the pedal, the saddle is too high.
If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel
on the pedal, the saddle is too low.
3. Change the saddle height, so that when seat
and with the pedal at the bottom of the
rotation, your leg is straight.
