Rider Comfort
Depending on a rider’s preference, ability, and amount of experience with bike and ebike riding, lowering the seat so
the rider can put one or both feet on the ground without dismounting from the seat may offer a safer and more
comfortable experience while operating the bike.
Generally, for the most comfortable riding position and best possible pedaling efficiency, the seat height should be set
correctly in relation to the rider’s leg length, as described in the Adjusting the Seat Height section, allowing the knee to
be slightly bent with the ball of the foot on the pedal and the pedal at the lowest point at the bottom of the pedal
stroke.
To obtain maximum comfort, riders should not overextend their arms’ reach when riding. It is generally advised to
ensure the handlebar and brake lever angles allow for a comfortable arm position and relatively straight line from
forearms, wrists, and hands. Ensure the handlebar angle is adjusted so that it allows the handlebar to remain clear of
the rider’s body while turning.
A bike fitting professional, such as a certified, reputable bike mechanic who specializes in bike fit, should be consulted
to ensure you have a good fit.
NOTICE: If you have any questions regarding the proper fit of your bike please consult a certified, reputable local bike
mechanic for assistance fitting the bike to a rider or contact Senada Bikes.
