GETTING STARTED

Once your bike is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid, level surface with plenty of space around it. We recommend placing a mat under your unit to protect your flooring.

Correct Workout Position

When exercising, you can either keep your back upright or lean forward by resting your forearms on the front handlebar. When pedaling do not lock out your knees, at the bottom of the pedaling motion there should be a slight bend in the knee. Keep your head in a neutral position to minimize neck and upper back strain. Always try to pedal the bike with a smooth and rhythmic motion.

USING YOUR UPRIGHT BIKE

WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THIS UNIT IS TO BE USED

ONLY INDOORS AND IN A DRY LOCATION.

The bike provides a completely smooth and natural feeling that minimizes the impact on your hips, knees and ankles while providing a superior aerobic and muscle toning workout. The durable steel frame and front transport wheels make the unit mobile and easy to use.

IMPORTANT:

This unit is not recommended for children.

Always make sure that you feel balanced and secure.

Always use your equipment on a clean, solid and level surface.

DUAL SIDED PEDAL

Bottom Side of Pedal

Top Side of Pedal

The bike has a dual side pedal. The top side of the pedal is to be used with shoes and the bottom smooth side of the pedal is meant to be used with a bare or sock covered foot.

To use the bottom side of the pedal, gently nest the balls of your feet into the pedal contour. You may have to try sliding your foot forward and backward before you feel it nest into the pedal. Once your foot is comfortably aligned with the pedal contour, tighten the strap so it is firmly around the foot.
