Getting Started
1. Keep your workouts short and easy at first, to let your body adjust to the new exercise.
2. Gradually increase your cycling time and intensity over the first two weeks. Like any physical activity, if you increase the
volume and intensity too quickly, fail to warm up properly, or use poor technique, you will increase the risk of injury.
WORKOUT INTENSITY
User-Controlled Resistance
• The BikeErg offers you two ways of managing the resistance you feel and the resulting intensity of your workout: the
damper setting and your pedaling cadence. An increase in either one will raise the resistance that you feel, and if you
increase both, the resistance will go up even more quickly.
• You can cycle as hard or as easily as you wish. The BikeErg will not force you to work at any set intensity level. As you put
more effort into your cycling, you will go faster, produce more watts, and burn more calories. All of these outputs will be
measured and displayed by the PM5.
Damper Settings on the Flywheel
The BikeErg features a damper with settings from 1 to 10.
Higher numbers feel more like pedaling in a heavier gear.
Lower numbers feel like pedaling in a lighter gear.
For general fitness and a good aerobic workout, use a
damper setting where you can maintain a cadence in the
range of 60 to 80 rpm.
Drag Factor
The 1–10 damper setting scale is a quick reference for setting
the “gearing.” A more precise way to tune the “gearing”
is by viewing the drag factor, which is a measure of the
air resistance within the flywheel enclosure. To view drag
factor on the PM go to Main Menu > More Options > Display
Drag Factor. The BikeErg offers a drag factor range of
approximately 40 to 210.
Calibration
The BikeErg will prompt you periodically to verify the calibration, including whenever you program a distance that is part
of our Online World Ranking. The verification process (and recalibration, if required) is simple and the PM5 will guide you
through it. To start a verification or calibration at any other time, press More Options >Utilities > Calibration.
After moving the BikeErg to a different location, verify the calibration to assure accurate results.
