Adjusting the Seat Height
For most users, the seat height should be set by placing the ball of their foot on the pedal when the crank is at its lowest point. In
this orientation their leg should almost be fully extended, with a slight bend at the knee. The correct seat height should not allow
leg strain from over extension and the hips should not rock from side to side when pedaling. To adjust the seat height:
1)
Open the quick release lever by swinging the lever open and outward fully (depicted at right).
2) Move the seat up and down by sliding the seatpost in or out of the seat tube. Set the desired seat
height.
3) After tightening the adjustment nut (opposite the quick release lever) on the seatpost quick
release properly
；
close the quick release lever fully so it looks like the image at right and the
seat cannot move up, down, to the left, or right.
Before using the bike, always check to ensure all latches, levers, and quick releases are
properly secured and undamaged. Check that they are correctly secured before every
ride and after every time the bike is left unsupervised, even for a short time. Otherwise,
the handlebar stem and/or seatpost may come loose and can result in loss of control,
damage to the bike, property, serious injury, and/or death.
