ADJUSTMENTS

E85S

UPPER FRAME SETUP

You can adjust the E85S’s upper frame to the equivalent height of a bicycle you are used to. Turn the locking knob one turn counterclockwise. Pull the locking knob outwards, so that the frame tube can be moved freely up and down. Once the height is right, let go of the knob and the frame tube locks into place. Turn the locking knob clockwise to tighten.

SEAT SETUP

Adjust the seat height by loosening the seatholder locking screw. Set the right height for you; the basic rule is that the arch of the foot reaches reaches the the pedal at its lowest point with the leg almost straight. Tighten the locking screw. To adjust the horizontal seat position forward and back, loosen the locking screw under the seat with a wrench. You can also adjust inclination from here, although it’s generally best to keep the seat level. Experiment to find the training position that’s best for you and tighten the locking screw. Change the seat for another by unscrewing the locking screw under the seat.

HANDLEBAR SETUP

Loosen the locking screws on the front of the handlebar support and find the right angle at which to position the handlebar. Tighten the locking screws. Change the handlebar for another by unscrewing the front locking screws.

SEAT SETUP

The seat height should be set so that the arch of the foot reaches the pedal with the leg almost straight and the pedal at its lowest point. First turn the locking knob one turn counter-clockwise, then pull the locking knob outwards, so that the seat tube can be moved freely up and down. Once the height is right, let go of the knob and the seat locks into place. Turn the locking knob clockwise to tighten. NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is properly fastened before starting to exercise! The scale on the seat tube helps you remember the seat height that suits you best. The seat can be inclined forward or backward by turning the green adjustment ring below the saddle. The seat inclines forward when the ring is turned counter-clockwise, and back when the ring is turned clockwise. A correctly inclined seat enhances your training comfort. NOTE! Do not try to adjust seat inclination when you’re sitting on the seat - the ring won’t turn.

HANDLEBAR SETUP

Loosen the grey knob in front of the handlebar and adjust the handlebar position until your training position feels comfortable. Tighten the grey knob carefully.

E85 / E85S: PEDAL REPLACEMENT

To remove the pedals from the cranks, use a 15 mm wrench to unscrew the right pedal counterclockwise and the left pedal clockwise. Please note that the pedals are screwed on quite tightly.

EXERCISING

Working out with this device is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen upteke, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should be above all pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but you should not get out of breath during the workout.

You should exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions. You should start slowly at a low pedalling speed and low resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and pedalling speed can be increased gradually.

HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart rate.
