HOWTO UBETHE "{0/20 BiKE
! Seat adjustment
Proper seat adjustment helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the
risk of injury.
1. Place one pedal in the forward position and center the ball of your foot over the center of the
pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee.
2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal, you will need to move the seat down
on the 10 or forward on the 20 bike. If your leg is bent too much, you will need to move the seat
up on the 10 or backward on the 20 bike.
Adjust the 10 seat by first dismounting the bike, then pulling out the adjustment knob on the seat
tube and releasing the locking pin. Lower or raise the seat to the desired height. Release the seat
knob, engaging the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is fully secured in a seat post hole.
To adjust the 20 seat, pull the seat knob up with your right hand to release the seat. Slide the seat
forward or backward to the desired position. The knob will "pop" up into the next hole; turn the
knob to ensure a tight fit.
[] Foot positioning/pedal strap adjustment
Place the ball of each foot on the pedals. Rotate the pedals until one foot is within arms reach. Then,
reach down carefully and fasten the rubber strap over your shoe and secure it to the pedal by slipping
the hub at the end of the pedal through one of the slots in the strap. Pull down on the strap until
it snaps into place. Repeat for the other foot. Point your toes and knees directly forward to ensure
maximum pedal efficiency. Pedal straps can be left in place for subsequent workouts.
! Handlebar Adjustment
The 10 offers an adjustable handlebar to ensure a variety of comfortable hand positions. To adjust the
angle of the handlebars, loosen knob, adjust the handlebars to the desired position and re-tighten.
! Resistance adjustment
Using the console, you have 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 of resistance
that is comfortable for you.
[] Lower body workout
Once you are in position and sitting comfortably, slowly begin pedaling, with your arms relaxed at your
sides and with your hands resting on the top of your thighs or on the hand grips. Pedal at an easy
pace, at a low resistance level until you feel secure and comfortable. As you feel more comfortable,
experiment with the range of resistance levels available via the console.
