HOW TO USE THE SCHWINN EVOLUTION BIKE

You have full control over the levels of resistance integrated into
your workout. Typically, lower resistance levels enable you to
move at a faster pace, placing increased demand on your
cardiovascular system. Higher resistance levels will typically
deliver more of a muscle/endurance workout at lower RPMs. But
everyone is different! So experiment and find the beginning level
of resistance that is comfortable for you.

Resistance adjustment
FIG.1
Pedaling resistance is controlled by the
resistance control knob conveniently located
underneath the handlebars (Fig. 1). To increase
resistance, turn the resistance control knob
clockwise (+). To decrease resistance, turn the
resistance control knob counter-clockwise (–).
Resistance adjustments can be easily made at
any time.
Emergency brake activation
Your Evilution bike features an emergency brake.
If you wish to stop the flywheel rotation (and
therefore the pedal rotation) quickly, simply
press down firmly on the brake lever that
extends from the resistance adjustment knob
(Fig.1). Continue applying pressure until the
wheel has come to a complete stop.
FIG.2
Seat adjustment
Proper seat height helps ensure maximum exercise
efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of
injury.
Adjusting the seat forward or backward allows
you to work different lower body muscle groups.
1. Place one pedal in the upward position, then
place your foot in the toe clip and center the ball
of your foot over the center of the pedal. Your leg
should be slightly bent at the
knee (Fig. 2).
