Achieving the appropriate fit for your body and riding conditions necessitates expertise, proficiency, and specialized equipment. It is highly recommended to have your bicycle adjustments made by a professional dealer. However, if you possess the necessary experience, skillset, and tools, it is advisable to have your dealer assess your work before embarking on a ride.
WARNING! If your bicycle does not fit properly, you may lose control and fall.

Seatpost Height
Use a 5mm Allen key to loosen the seat post clamp, then adjust the seat to the desired height, and tighten it back using the recommended torque value.
NOTICE!
Keep the saddle aligned with the direction of the wheels in a straight line.
Do not exceed the minimum insertion depth marked on the seat post.

Height

Dropper Seatpost (GrandTeton Ultra Model Only)
Your e-bike is equipped with a height-adjustable seat post. The dropper seatpost allows you to flexibly adjust the height of the saddle while riding. This adjustment is highly practical, whether for climbing (requiring a higher seat) or descending (requiring a lower seat). When you leave the seat and press the lever, the seat will rise until it stops underweight. When you release the lever the seat will be fixed at the current height position. If you sit on the seat and press the lever your weight will cause the seat’s height to decrease until the lever is released.

Gears

How to Choose the Right Gear?
For climbing steep hills, use the smallest chainring in combination with the largest cog. For maximum speed, adopt the combination of the largest chainring and the smallest cog. There’s no need to shift gears in sequence. Find a comfortable starting gear level one that allows you to start easily without wobbling. Try shifting up and down to feel the response of different gear combinations in terms of speed and pedaling effort. First practice shifting in a safe area free of obstacles, danger, and traffic until you can shift gears smoothly. Learn to anticipate your gear changes, shifting to a lower gear before starting to climb a steep hill. If you have problems with shifting, mechanical adjustments may be needed. Please seek assistance from a professional if needed.
