Height Adjustability
Another modification to the frame that was accomplished was making the height adjustable for user comfort. A new handlebar mounting format was incorporated into the new handlebar design with different steering methods (discussed more in steering and brakes section of report). This is what allows for adjustability. The goal was to make a quick and easy adjustability system that incorporates seat post style adjustability, where a given outside diameter tube fits snuggly into a given inside diameter tube. The tube clamps together by the use of quick-release seat post clamps. The adjustability is limited to 8”, giving the jogger the maximum possible adjustable range that fits most users, and also keeps the weight down, which is important for this project.
