7 To close it, push the seat post clamping lever as
far as it will go into the seat post (2).
8 Check the clamping force of the quick releases.
6.4.4.8 Setting the saddle height with the
remote control
Use the seat height formula to set the saddle
height:
Seat height (SH) = inner leg length (I) × 0.9
1
Lowering the saddle
2
Raising the saddle
(see Section 6.14.2).
Notice
If you are unable to achieve the required
saddle height, lower the seat post further into
the seat tube. The seat post Bowden cable
must be tightened in the frame up to the
remote control to the same length as the seat
post was lowered.
If this is not possible, contact your specialist
dealer.

6.4.4.9 Adjusting the saddle position
2
The saddle can be shifted on the saddle frame.
The right horizontal position ensures an optimal
leverage position for legs. This prevents knee
pain and painful incorrect pelvis positions. If you
have displaced the saddle more than 10 mm, you
1
need to adjust the saddle height again since both
settings affect one another.
The saddle setting must only be made when the
bicycle is stationary.
To set the saddle position, either:
•
Push the pedelec near to a wall so that the
pedelec rider can lean on the wall to support
themselves or
•
Ask another person to hold the pedelec.
Move the saddle within its permitted
displacement range only (marked on the saddle
stay).
1 Climb onto the pedelec.
2 Place the pedals into the vertical position with
your feet.
Pedelec riders are adopting the optimal saddle
position if the perpendicular line from the
kneecap runs through the pedal axle.
If the perpendicular line crosses behind the
pedal, bring the saddle further forward.
If the perpendicular line crosses in front of the
pedal, bring the saddle further back.

connections, and clamp them with the
maximum tightening torque for the saddle
clamping screws.
