DJUSTMENTS
Proper seat positioning helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Always adjust the seat
position prior to beginning your workout.
IMPORTANT
: When adjusting the seat height for either bike, your knee should never completely “lock out” during any portion of the cycle
pattern.
Adjusting Seat Height (E-UB Upright Bike)
When sitting on the seat of your E-UB Upright Bike, your knees should be almost
fully extended when the pedals are at the lowest point of their rotation. To adjust
the seat height:
NOTE:
When raising the seat, the seat will ratchet up when pulled.
When lowering the seat, you must use the seat release knob.
With the pedal at its lowest point of rotation, stand on the pedal with
your knee slightly bent. To raise the seat, carefully lift up on the “nose”
of the saddle and raise the seat to the desired position (the seat release
knob does not need to be pulled out). To lower the seat, carefully pull
out on the seat release knob (located at the rear of the seat tube) and
lower the seat to the desired position. Release the knob, ensuring that
the spring retracts to its original position, and that the seat stays firmly
in place.
Note your height adjustment (shown on the front of the seat post) for
future reference. This number is the highest number visible on the seat
post.
Adjusting Seat Position (E-RB Recumbent Bike)
When sitting on the seat of your E-RB Recumbent Bike, your knees should be
almost fully extended when the pedals are at the lowest point of their rotation.
To adjust the seat position:
Sit on the seat and grasp the seat adjustment handle (located under
the seat). Lift up on the handle, and slide the seat forward or backward
on the seat carriage to the closest available position that allows your
knees to be slightly bent toward the lower pedal. Release the handle,
ensuring that the spring retracts to its original position, and that the
seat stays firmly in place.
Note your height adjustment (shown on the top of the seat rail either in
front of or behind the seat) for future reference.
