Table 54: Calculating the saddle width
6.5.4.6 Selecting the saddle hardness
Saddles are available in a wide range of
hardnesses and must be adapted to the pedelec’s
use:
• A pedelec that is mainly used for commuting in
jeans calls for a soft saddle.
• A pedelec that is mainly used for sports riding with
padded cycling shorts requires a hard saddle.
If the degree of hardness is not suitable, a new
saddle must be selected.
6.5.4.7 Adjusting the saddle hardness
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
In air cushion saddles, the hardness of the saddle
can be adjusted using the pump valve beneath the
seat surface.
