• Place one heel on a pedal.
• Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel is in the lowest position (crank arm parallel to the seat tube).

If your leg is not completely straight, adjust the seat height. If your hips rock to reach the pedal, the seat is too high. If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel on the pedal, the seat is too low.

To adjust seat height:

• Loosen the seat post clamp (open position shown on left, closed on right).
• Raise or lower the seat post in the seat tube.
• Ensure the seat is straight before and after adjustment.
• Re-tighten the seat post clamp to the recommended torque (see "Tightening Torque" on page 27).

Adjust Seat Position

⚠️ WARNING! Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque to prevent serious injury or death. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either condition can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt and result in a crash. See "Tightening Torque" on page 27.

Front and Back Adjustment

Loosen nuts on both sides of the seat. Ensure the clamp mechanism grips the straight part of the seat rails, not the curved part. Use the recommended torque on the clamping fastener(s).

Seat Angle Adjustment

Most prefer a horizontal seat, but you may angle the nose slightly up or down. Loosen the clamp bolt to disengage serrations before changing the angle, and re-engage them fully before tightening to the recommended torque.

Storing

Charging Battery Pack Before and During Storage

For storage of weeks or months, remove the battery and store at ~60% charge (indicated by the Energy Bar). This charge level minimizes degradation. Check charge every 2-3 months and recharge to 60% if needed.

Note: Storing a battery with no charge for an extended period may cause damage and reduce capacity.

For optimum service life, charge the battery to 100% a few hours before riding. If the charge level drops to 50% but you plan to ride again soon, wait until the day before to charge to 100%.

DO NOT charge battery unattended or leave connected to charger overnight. Leaving it connected permanently is not recommended.

Battery capacity diminishes with age and will eventually need replacement. Significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates wear. You can purchase replacement batteries from Lectric eBikes.

Storage Conditions

Store the battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated place, protected from moisture and water. Store in a location with a smoke alarm, away from flammable objects and heat sources.

For optimum service life, store between 50°F and 68°F. Never store below 14°F or above 140°F.

Do not exceed maximum storage temperature. Do not leave the battery in a car during summer. Store away from direct sunlight.

NOTE: Long-term storage with the battery installed on the bicycle is not recommended.

⚠️ WARNING! Failure to follow Battery Charging & Storage Best Practices can lead to unnecessary wear, underperformance, or non-functional battery, and replacement will not be covered under warranty.
