Changing the seat height

The seat height on this bike can be at three settings: 770cm, 785cm (default) and 800cm. While my feet reach the ground comfortably at the 785cm setting, I still feel that the 770cm that I used during the test ride gave me a more comfortable ride so I decided to change the seat height today and this is how I did it. The instructions are pretty clearly laid out in the manual.

Step 1: Remove the rear seat.


To do this you need to put your key into the rear lock and lift the seat while turning the key. Once the rear end has been lifted, gently slide the rear seat out.

Step 2: Unscrew bolts retaining front seat.


There are two of them and you need an allen key or a hex bit driver to unscrew them. The rear end of the front seat can then be lifted and the front seat dislodged by sliding it back.

Step 3: Locate the two brackets that need to be lowered.


There is a front bracket and a rear bracket, both of which are held in place by two bolts. Both brackets have three positions, and the top holes with give the lowest seat position. Try unscrewing all four bolts to start with. Then unscrew the bolts completely, move the brackets to the desired position and put the bolts back. The manual specifies torques, but if you are using standard length allen keys, turn them till they feel tight.

Reattach the front seat with two bolts, snap the rear seat into place and you are all done!
