Adjustment of seat height

For riding Mando Footloose, it is important to place the seat properly and
adjust the height. When adjusting the seat, adjust (1) the height first and then
(2) the front and back part of the seat.
1. Adjusting the seat up and down
How to check the seat height
1) Sit on the seat.
2) Put one heel on the pedal.
3) Adjust the seat height so that your heel is parallel to the axis of pedal and
you can almost straighten your leg (However, it is not recommended to
straighten your leg completely).
4) Get into and off from the seat when the product is standing.
Enquire at the store to learn how to adjust the optimum seat height. If you
would like to adjust the seat height by yourself, you have to ensure the fol-
lowing.
5) Ensure that the seatpost clamp is tightened properly.
6) Ensure that the seat post is not above the 'minimum insertion' line
If you pull the seat post too far out of the seat tube, then the clamp can no longer secure the seat post
sufficiently. The seat post could come loose or break during the riding. There is a risk of accident and
injury. Do not pull out the seat post beyond the minimum insertion depth.
7) Ensure that the seat is not twisted to one side.
8) Ensure that the seat is properly clamped to the seatpost
2. Adjusting the seat forward and backward
As the seat is adjustable in forward and backward directions, it enables an
optimal seat position.
For proper operation and better charging efficiency when pedaling with
Mando Footloose, it is recommended to set the pedal position so it can rotate
continuously. Adjust the seat forward and backward by aligning the imaginary
line vertically drawn from knee cap with the axis of pedal.Within this range,
find the most comfortable position.
3. Adjusting the seat angle
Most riders prefer the seat parallel to the ground. However, some prefer to
raise or lower the front part of the seat. If you have pain while sitting on a seat,
lowering the front part of the seat may help reduce it (however, the center of
gravity may move to the front).
The seat fastening clamp of Mando Footloose is in the form of 2 bolts, 1
at the front and 1 at the back. Adjust the seat to ensure that the seat lies
horizontally or at a preferred angle by screwing the front and back bolts in
turns. A little difference gives a large effect on the performance and comfort of
Mando Footloose.
Nevertheless the seat height has been properly adjusted, if the slope and
front/back position of the seat is not balanced, you may feel uncomfortable
while riding. Also, the seat provided with the product may not fit to your body.
In this case, it is encouraged to ask assistance of a specialist at the store.
