ARE THE SOUNDS MY UPRIGHT BIKE MAKES NORMAL?

Our upright bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder tech- nologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our upright bikes. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE UPRIGHT BIKE I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is gen- erally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less rever- beration on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of mainte- nance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding applica- tions such as motorcycle drives.

CAN I MOVE THE UPRIGHT BIKE EASILY

ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?

Your Horizon Fitness upright bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your upright bike by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your Horizon Fitness upright bike in a comfortable and inviting room. Your upright bike is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their upright bikes facing the TV or a picture window. If at all pos- sible, avoid putting your upright bike in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the upright bike should be in a attractive setting.
