Revive at a Glance

Congratulations on purchasing your new Revive! With a few simple adjustments, you can quickly and easily adjust Revive’s rider compartment for a custom fit, for just about anybody from 5-feet to 6-feet five inches tall.

Revive’s unique riding position is designed to take pressure off the posterior, hands, shoulders, neck and back. Although it is a superior ergonomic position, you will still need to adjust the saddle height for optimum pedaling efficiency, as well as the handlebar stem for proper control and comfort. Even with the saddle at the most efficient height, you will still be able to place your feet safely and comfortably on the ground while seated on the saddle.

Another important aspect of Revive’s comfortable riding position is the adjustable Lumbar Support. Make sure the Lumbar Support is aligned with the “small” (lower section) of your back. The saddle also has a for/aft adjustment feature which allows the saddle to be positioned closer or farther away from the Lumbar Support to accommodate a wide variety of rider sizes and shapes.

Please take a few moments to get acquainted with Revive’s adjustment mechanisms. Once you do, you’ll be riding in ultimate comfort and safety!
