Getting the right position on your Wattbike Proton is important for safety and comfort. For a guide on how to set up your Wattbike Proton, please see the images below:
STEP 1:
Set the saddle height. The knee should never fully straighten and the pelvis should only tilt slightly left and right on the saddle when pedaling. If there is clear side to side rocking, the saddle may be too high.
STEP 2:
Set the saddle horizontal position. As a general guide for most people, the nose of the saddle should be in line vertically with the bottom bracket (if you imagine a horizontal line drawn between the ends of the two cranks arms, where they join the case). Taller users might want to move their saddle backwards, away from the handlebars a little, shorter users might want to move closer.
STEP 3:
Set the handlebar position. The user can select a height that feels comfortable and sustainable. The higher the handlebars, the more body weight is put directly onto the feet when out of the saddle. With lower positions, some of the body weight is taken by the arms.
For handlebar fore/aft position, there are no hard and fast rules and comfort is the main factor that determines the location. Shorter users will have the bars closer, taller users further forwards. As a general guide the further the bars are forwards the more of a forward leaning posture is given to the body.
The end goal is to create a position which is comfortable, sustainable and efficient.
