Determining the correct saddle height

1. Sit on the pedelec and at the same time lean against a wall.
2. Turn the foot pedal on the opposite side to the wall to its lowest point.
3. If your leg is not fully extended when your heel is
on the pedal, raise the saddle. Lower the saddle
if you cannot reach the pedal. The following
sections explain how to adjust the saddle height
on your bike. The seatpost can be fastened using
the saddle clamp  3.2.2 Adjusting the saddle

Adjusting the saddle height: Quick-release skewer

DANGER
The quick-release skewer must be correctly closed before you set off.
Otherwise the seatpost can loosen or fracture – if that happens while
you are riding the bike you could fall off, resulting in serious injuries.
1. Open the quick-release skewer by
swinging the lever by 180˚. You will
now usually be able to see the word
'OPEN' on the inside of the lever.
