Maxxus SpeedBike SX3, Installation & Operating Manual

Seat Position

Stand next to the bike and adjust the seat to a height a width of two-fingers below your hip joint. Then sit on the 

seat and put your feet onto the pedals. Your knees should still be bent at a small angle when the pedal is at its 

lowest point. Never train with your knees completely straight at this pedal position (Fig. 1).

To achieve the optimal lengthwise position of the seat, adjust it so that when your knee joint is at its most for-

ward position, the pedal is horizontal with the pedal arm (Fig 2).

Handlebar Position

We recommend positioning the handlebars at the same height as the seat (Fig. 3). If your knees touch the han-

dlebars when you pedalling in a standing position or if the user experiences any un-comfort in the shoulder/neck 

during longer training sessions, then the handlebars should be raised a little than the height of the seat. The 

horizontal position of the handlebars should be selected so that the users back is bent forwards with their upper 

body at a 45-degree angle.

A basic rule for the correct distance between the handlebars and the seat is that if you place your elbows on the 

seat, you should also be able to place your hands on the handlebars.

Handle Position

The handlebars offer several handle positions for you to find the optimum position 

for your hands in any standing or sitting training position.

Adjusting the Braking Resistance

There are 32 braking resistance levels and these can be adjusted electronically via the cockpit.

You should never pedal backwards under resistance load as the screw connection of the pedals to the pedal 

arms can loosen and come undone. 

Press the emergency stop lever down to stop the flywheel quickly during operation.

Important warning about the emergency stop

The Speed Bike cannot freewheel, i.e. the flywheel is firmly connected to the pedals and does not stop automat

-

ically as soon as the user stops pedalling.

Please always train at a speed that you have under control at all times. In an emergency, simply press down the 

red emergency brake lever to stop the pedalling movement quickly and in a controlled manner.

The Speed Bike may only be pedalled in a forward direction. When pedalling backwards, the functionality of the 

emergency stop is hindered.
