HEIGHT
For the best ride adjust your seat to your
ideal height position. In order to obtain
the most comfortable riding position
and offer the best possible pedaling
effi ciency, the seat height should be
set correctly in relation to the rider’s leg
length. The correct seat height should not
cause leg strain from over-extension, and
the hips should not rock from side to side
when pedaling. While sitting on the bike
with one pedal at its lowest point, place
the heel of your foot on that pedal. The
correct seat height will allow the knee to
be slightly bent in this position.
Please make sure that you do not set the
seatpost higher than the maximum height
allowed, as marked on the seatpost.
While folding the bike make sure you do
not push the seat down too much so that
the battery does not touch the rear wheel
or the fender.
If you cannot get it high enough for you
without going past the minimum insertion
mark, you should buy a longer seatpost
(seatpost’s diameter should be Ø 27,2
mm).
If your seatpost projects from the frame
beyond the »minimum insertion« mark, the
seatpost may break. Riding a bike with the
seatpost above the »minimum insertion« mark
is dangerous and can cause you injury and/or
damage to the bike and/or create an unstable
riding position causing an accident. Riding with
an improperly tightened seatpost can allow
the seat to turn or move and cause you to lose
control and fall. Therefore, make sure you know
how to correctly clamp your seatpost.
Understand and apply the correct
technique for clamping your seatpost
quick release. Before you ride the Bigfi sh
folding bike, fi rst check that the seatpost
is securely clamped. If the seat clamp is
broken or damaged in any way, the bike
is not safe to ride. Take your bike to your
local dealer to have it serviced or contact
us at info@bigfi shbike.com. Before ride,
make sure that the seat clamp is properly
closed.
ANGLE
Your seat angle should be horizontal, but
you may want to play with the adjustment.
To adjust the angle of the seat use Allen
wrench (size 6) or take the bike to your
dealer to adjust it properly. After any seat
adjustment, be sure that the seat adjusting
mechanism is properly tightened before
riding to prevent a sudden shift of the
seat. A loose seat clamp can cause
damage to the seatpost, or can cause
you to lose control and fall. The correct
adjustment of the seat angle is largely a
matter of your personal preference. Make
sure that adjusting the angle of the seat
does not interfere with the set position of
the battery.
Do NOT add grease to the outside of the
seatpost because the seatpost shim is plastic.
