What kind of routine maintenance is
required?
We use sealed bearings throughout our bike so lubrica-
tion is not needed. The most important maintenance
step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the bike after
each use.
Will the magnets wear out over time?
No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their brak-
ing force indefinitely in this application. One of the big
advantages of a magnetic brake is its long life since
there is no physical contact between the flywheel and the
magnet surface.
How long will the drive belt last?
The computer modeling we had done indicated virtually
thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts are now
commonly used in far more demanding applications
such as motorcycle drives.
What does the watts readout mean?
Watts are a standard unit of work that allow you to
monitor your progress from week to week and year to
year. The higher the watts, the stronger you've become.
