E.STANDARD & LOW FRONT SEAT HEIGHTS

Note: Adjust seat height for body and mechanical efficiency. Be aware that a change in seat height may require a change in the size of the front caster stems or forks.

1. If you raise the seat too high, you may “out-adjust” the caster forks. If this occurs, the seat will tilt toward the front and may cause the rider to fall.

2.To avoid this, you will need to use a longer caster fork or fork stem.

1.Remove the axle bolt.

2.Seat Angle (not available on BREEZY 500) If you change the seat height, make sure you adjust the front casters to attain the proper seat angle. (The seat should be slightly higher at the front.)
