Before using the pedal-assisted bicycle, in addition to verifying the state of charge and correct installation of the battery,
to allow an adequate start-up and ensure efficient and safe use of the product, it is always appropriate to carefully check
each part by carrying out the necessary adjustment of the related mechanical components, directly or with the support of
specialized operators, see: adjustment and tightening of the saddle and seatpost channel, adjustment and tightening of the
handlebar and handlebar attachment, adjustment of brakes, adjustment of gearbox, chain and gear lubrication, wheel and tyre
pressure verification, general verification of the correct tightening of the fixing screws, quick release and through pins as well
as a general check that all the parts are in order.
Saddle
The position on the bicycle is very important to ensure the optimal comfort when using the bike, correct pedalling and to
avoid any safety problems.
It is, therefore, important that the saddle and the seat post are positioned and adjusted to suit the rider.
The saddle can be adjusted in height, forward position and angle.
To adjust the height of the saddle, the clamp that secures the seat post in the frame must be loosened and either raised or
lowered as needed, taking care not to pull it out beyond the limit indicated to avoid the risk of breaking the frame. Once
the best position has been found in compliance with the precautions for extracting the seat post, secure it by tightening the
relevant clamp until it is correctly tightened to prevent it from moving and/or becoming unstable.
Generally speaking, the best way to adjust the height of the saddle is to check that when your foot is placed on the pedal at
its lowest point, your leg is almost completely extended.
To adjust the angle and how far forward the saddle is positioned, loosen the relevant fastening mechanism in the seat post
bracket, so you can tilt the saddle and move it forward as desired. Then, tighten the fastening system to avoid any play or
movement.
Handlebars
The handlebar can be adjusted in height and inclination by working on the relative fixing systems on the handlebar
attachment.
To adjust the angle of the handlebars, loosen the clamp on the stem, rotate the handlebars until the desired position is
reached and secure it by tightening the clamp until it can no longer be moved.
