Rigid fork
Rigid forks transfer the used muscle and motor
power to the road to optimum effect. Pedelecs
with rigid forks consume less energy on steep
roads and have a greater range than pedelecs
with adjusted suspension.

3.5.3.1 Suspension seat post
Suspension seat posts can reduce impact after
one-time, hard impacts. Ride comfort can be
improved significantly thanks to the brief
cushioning.
See Section 3.3.6.2 for more information.
All types of suspension seat posts feature small,
heavy-duty slide bearings, guides and articulated
joints. If they are not lubricated on a regular basis,
the sensitive response behaviour diminishes
considerably, causing excessive wear.
Clean and service suspension seat posts on a
regular basis (see Section
Section 7.4.9.1).
