Determining the sitting position
The starting point for a comfortable posture is
the correct position of the hips. If the hips are in
the wrong position, it can cause different types
of pain, e.g. in the shoulder or back.
Figure 69: The hips are in the right position (green) or
incorrect position (red)
The pelvis is in the right position if the spine forms
an S-shape and a natural, easy arch.
The hips are positioned incorrectly if it tilts slightly
backwards. As a result, the spine becomes curved
and can no longer deflect to an optimal extent.
A suitable sitting position must be selected
beforehand depending on the ebike type,
physical fitness and desired trip distance or
speed.
It is especially advisable to check and optimize
the sitting position once more before longer rides.
