ADJUSTING THE RIDING POSITION
RIDING POSITION
The correct riding position is essential for
comfort and power delivery. Your E-bike is
designed so that he various components can
be adjusted to accommodate your body size.
This section describes adjusting the riding
position on your new Riese & Müller E-bike.
CORRECT SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The necessary height is based on body posi
-
tion while pedaling. While pedaling the balls
of the big toes should be over the pedal axle.
The leg must not be fully extended at the
lowest position of the pedaling circle. If the
seat is too high, it is dicult to pedal through
this low point and the pedaling is not smooth
and circular. If the seat is too low, knee pain
is possible.
Check the seat height using the following
method and be sure to wear shoes with a
flat sole:
• Sit on the saddle and place the heel on the
pedal in the lowest position. In this position
the leg should be fully stretched. Make sure
that your hips remain straight.
DANGER!
The successful execution of the
following operations requires
some experience, proper tools and
expertise. Make sure to conduct a
brief check (page 14) and test ride
in a trac free area. If you have
any doubts about the adjustments,
please discuss them with your
local dealer. This can be combined
with a normal workshop visit (i.e.
initial inspection).
TIP!
With full suspension bikes, the bottom
bracket height is inherently greater.
It may happen that you can only reach
the ground with an outstretched toe.
