Before Your First Workout; Setting Up The Bikeerg - Concept2 BikeERG Product Manual

ENGLISH

Before Your First Workout

Consult your physician. Be sure that it is not
dangerous for you to undertake a strenuous
exercise program.

Setting Up the BikeErg

The BikeErg provides a range of settings for the saddle and handlebars so that you can find the position that is most
comfortable and effective for you.
How to Adjust the Saddle
• To lower the saddle: Release the ratchet by pressing down on the lever
saddle down to the desired position
• To raise the saddle: Pull up to desired height. Confirm that the ratchet has locked into
position before use.
• The fit of the seat post into the back leg has been adjusted at the factory to allow for
easy movement. See the Maintenance section (page 6) for adjusting the fit, if desired.
• The frame geometry is designed so that raising the saddle also moves the rider
back, maintaining the correct relationship to the pedals. For general use, the saddle
placement on top of the seat post will not need adjustment. For fine tuning the
horizontal position and saddle angle, adjustments can be made using a 9/16"or 14mm
wrench (not included).
Recommendations for Saddle Position
• While riding: With the ball of your foot on the pedal, your leg should maintain a slight bend
at maximum extension.
• While sitting on the saddle: Determine a comfortable seat height by placing your heel on the
down pedal with your leg straight. If you are stretching to reach the pedal, lower
the saddle. If you cannot straighten your leg, raise the saddle.
How to Adjust the Handlebars
• To lower the handlebars: Loosen the adjustment knob
by pressing down on the lever
position. Release the lever to lock it into position and tighten the adjustment
knob.
• To raise the handlebars: Loosen the adjustment knob
desired height. Confirm that the ratchet has locked into position and tighten the
adjustment knob.
• To adjust the handlebar reach position: Loosen the adjustment knob
handlebars forward or back as desired. Tighten the adjustment knob.
Customize
The connection points between the BikeErg and pedals, saddle, and handlebars are standard to
most bicycle components, allowing the use of owner-supplied components, if desired. When
substituting components, be sure to use parts that are recommended for exercise bikes.
Warning: Third party pedals and handlebars are often not suitable for the forces on stationary
exercise bikes. Note: Warranty does not cover use of the BikeErg with parts or accessories from
third parties.
