Exhausted on first time

by **quochuy** on Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:40 am

Got a 2nd hand A-Bike 6" version.
I seems to be a genuine one: have mayhem uk stickers on several parts (tubes, wheels etc...) and the BSxxxx, unless they're fake.

I just went on my first commute with it and now feel exhausted, feel like my whole body was working not just the legs. Probably because this is my first time, I must have been working hard to keep balanced and steer.

Was it the same for all ?

Hi quochuy,

Had you inflated the tyres up to 90psi before you rode your A-bike first time?
Did you adjust the saddle to an appropriate height which let your legs have a full extension?

Regards,

Amuro

I've inflated it at 85 was not sure if should go to the max.
And the saddle could be too low.
Thanks for the tips, I will try and update here

So I inflated the tyres to 90psi and readjusted the sadfle height.
It did help a bit but still tiring, I think it's the fact there is only one speed so I'm pedalling a lot.

Actually, the 6" wheeled A-bike is not a bike for you to go fast. If you want to go faster, you can try the 8" wheeled version.

If you really want a very fast tiny-wheeled bike, just go for CarryMe STD/DS. :wink:

I see. Will keep it until I find the City version on ebay :-)

Now looking to upgrade the saddle. Vader one seems good.

Thanks for the info
