Gearing Systems - ElliptiGO 8S Owner's Manual

pay more attention to potential hazards around you, and to
begin braking much earlier than you otherwise would.
The best way to become effective at braking, especially
emergency braking, is to practice. Seek out a safe,
controlled environment with a well maintained, dry, level
paved surface and practice braking for 30 minutes. This
small investment of time can result in much improved
braking skills, which could mean the difference between
life and death on the road. In addition, always inspect your
brakes and rims to make sure that they are clean and dry.
Dirt or other debris on the surface of your rims or brakes
can also reduce your stopping power and should be
removed prior to riding.
Finally, brakes wear out by design. Regular use of your
bike will require regular replacement of brake pads. Every
time you inspect the bike, make sure your brakes and brake
pads are in good working order and that your pads are
not worn out. If any part of the pad has been worn away
to the indicator groove, then it needs to be replaced. Also,
if during an inspection a professional bicycle mechanic
or ElliptiGO® technician indicates that you need new
pads, have them replaced. Have your professional bicycle
mechanic select an appropriate replacement pad, install
it for you, and adjust the brakes so they function properly
again.

Gearing Systems

Your ElliptiGO bike comes equipped with a gearing
system that allows you to maintain a similar cadnce across
a variety of terrain. C-Series, 8S and 11R models come
equipped with internally-geared hubs where the gearing
system is inside the rear hub itself. Arc models come
equipped with a set of gears attached the rear wheel and
a derailleur system that moves the chain manually from
gear to gear. Both of these systems will require periodic
adjustment to function properly. Follow the instructions
below to adjust the gearing system on your model.
