Before the first ride
CAUTION
!
Crash caused by incorrectly adjusted torques
If a screw is fastened too tightly, it may break. If a
screw is not fastened enough, it may loosen. This
will cause a crash with injuries.
Always observe the indicated torques on the
screw or in the operating instructions.
Only a correctly adjusted pedelec will guarantee
you the desired ride comfort and health-promoting
activity. Therefore adjust the saddle, the
handlebars and the suspension to your body and
your preferred riding style before the first ride.

Adjusting the saddle
6.3.1.1 Adjusting the saddle tilt
The saddle tilt must be adjusted to the seat height,
the saddle and handlebar position, and the saddle
shape to ensure an optimum fit. The seating
position can be optimised in this way if needed.
First, readjust the saddle after finding the
handlebar position you prefer.
Place the saddle tilt in the horizontal position to
adjust the pedelec to your needs for initial use.

6.3.2
Determining the seat height
To determine the seat height safely, either push
the pedelec near to a wall, so that you can lean on
the wall to support yourself or ask another person
to hold the pedelec for you.
Climb onto the bicycle.
Place your heel on the pedal and extend your
leg, so that the pedal is at the lowest crank
rotation point.
The rider sits straight on the saddle if the seat
is at an optimum height. If this is not the case,
you can adjust the length of the seat post to
your needs.
