6.5.4.2 Adjusting the saddle height


To adjust the saddle height safely, either:
Push the ebike near to a wall so that the rider
•
can lean on the wall to support themselves or
Ask another person to hold the ebike.
•
1 Use the seat height formula to roughly set the
saddle height:
Seat height (SH) = inner leg length (I) × 0.9
2 Climb onto the bicycle.
3 Place your heel on the pedal and extend your
leg, so that the pedal is at the lowest crank
rotation point. Your knee should now be fully
extended.

4 Take a test ride.
 Riders should sit straight on the saddle at an
optimal saddle height.
If hips move to the left and right as you pedal,
•
the saddle is too high.
If your knees are painful after a few miles, the
•
saddle is too low.
 Position the seat post according to needs if
necessary. Adjust the seat height with the
quick release or seat clamp bolt.
