Section 2. Folding, Unfolding & Adjusting Your SWAGTRON® EB-8 E-Bike

WARNING: Be careful not to position your fingers between the latch and the frame. Doing so may result in injury.

2.3 Adjusting the Seat Height

For better pedaling, safety, and overall comfort, positioning the seat at the right height is key. The rider's leg length is used to determine the seat's position. During pedaling, your hips should remain level while your legs shouldn't suffer strain from over-extension. To determine the right seat height, sit on the e-bike with one pedal at its lowest point and place the ball of your foot on the pedal. If your knee bends slightly at this position, the seat is at the right height. Additionally, when placing your heel on the pedal, your leg should be nearly straight.

First, open the clamp under the seat post. Pull the seat up or push it down to adjust height. Check to make sure the seat post is fully inserted into the frame and the head of the seat is parallel with the frame. Lastly, close the clamp to secure the seat in place (fig. 5).
