| - | [title] saddle and pedals |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] But enough with the talk, lets strip this vehicle down to the bone starting with the easiest part the saddle fixed by two quick-acting clamps. |
| - | [* black] The seat post locks the rear rocker arm to the frame and needs to be retracted to be able to fold the bike. |
| - | [* icon_note] On the front facing side of the seat post we find a scale reading the minimum and maximum position. The back has a small dent wich serves as a guiding rail and helps avoiding rotation of the saddle. We wonder why not every seat post/bike has this feature. |
| - | [* black] Next we'll take away the pedals that have a neat mechanism to reduce the overall width of the bike when folded. |
| - | [* icon_note] A fancier version of foldable pedals are seen on Brompton bikes for a while now. Seems Xiaomi sought some inspiration here. |
| + | [* black] Enough talk, lets strip this vehicle down starting with the easiest part: the saddle. Two quick-release clamps later it's free! |
| + | [* black] The seat post locks the rear rocker arm in place, so once removed the bike can fold up. |
| + | [* icon_note] The post is labeled with min and max height options, and has a groove along the back. The groove serves to align the post and keep it from twisting, all bikes should have it! |
| + | [* black] Next unscrew the fancy folding pedals. This mechanism reduces the overall width of the bike when folded. |
