HOW TO MOVE THE INDOOR CYCLE
Due to the weight of the Indoor Cycle, it is recommended
that two people move it. While one person lifts the back
of the indoor cycle, the second person firmly holds the
handlebar and tips the indoor cycle forward until it rolls on
the wheels. Carefully move the Indoor Cycle to the desired
location and then lower it.
If the Indoor Cycle rocks on the floor after being set down,
turn the leveling feet underneath the front or rear stabilizer
until the rocking motion is eliminated.
Leveling Feet
To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution
while moving the indoor cycle. Do not attempt to
move it over uneven surfaces and make sure there’s
a clear space of 24 inches (minimum) on all sides of
the equipment.
WARNING
LOCATION OF THE
INDOOR CYCLE
Place the Indoor Cycle on a level
surface. There should be
2 feet (60 cm) of each side
surround the Indoor Cycle.
Do not place the cycle in any
area that will block any vent
or air openings. The Indoor
Cycle should not be located in
a garage, covered patio, near
water or outdoors.

WARNING
HOW TO ADJUST THE INDOOR CYCLE
The Indoor Cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and
exercise effectiveness. The instructions below describe one
approach to adjusting the Indoor Cycle to ensure optimal user
comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the
Indoor Cycle differently.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Proper seat height helps ensure maximum exercise
efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.
Adjust the seat height to make sure it’s in proper
position, one that keeps a slight bend in your knee while
your legs are in the extended position.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
Proper position for the handlebar is based primarily on
comfort. Typically, the handlebar should be positioned
slightly higher than the saddle for beginner cyclists.
Advanced cyclists could try different heights to get the
arrangement most suitable for you.
A. Seat horizontal position
Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise to slide
the seat forward or backward as desired. Rotate the lever
clockwise to lock seat position. Test the seat slide for
proper operation.
B. Seat height
Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise and adjust
the seat to a comfortable pedaling position. Rotate the
knob clockwise to lock seat position.
C. Handlebar height
Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise while raising
or lowering the handlebar with the other hand. Turn
the adjustment knob clockwise to lock the handlebar
position.
D. Pedal Straps
Place the ball of the foot into the toe cage until it‘s
centered over the pedal, reach down and pull the
pedal strap up to tighten prior to use. To remove your
foot from the toe cage, loosen the strap and pull out.

6
RESISTANCE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE
The preferred level of difficulty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in increments by use of the resistance buttons on the
console. To increase the resistance, push the up arrow. To decrease the resistance, push the down arrow.
IMPORTANT:
• To stop the flywheel while pedaling, push down hard on the
emergency brake until the brake rubs on the flywheel.
• The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.
• Make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe cage.
• Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to
prevent injuries due to moving drive gear components.
Emergency brake
The Indoor Cycle does not have a free moving flywheel;
the pedals will continue to move together with the flywheel
until the flywheel stops. Reducing speed in a controlled
manner is required. To stop the flywheel immediately,
push down hard the emergency brake. Always pedal in
a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence
according to your own abilities. Push the emergency brake
down = emergency stop.
WARNING
The Indoor Cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum and will keep the pedals turning even after the user stops pedaling or if
the user’s feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS OR DISMOUNT THE MACHINE UNTIL
BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to loss of control
and the potential for serious injury.
WARNING

7
ASSEMBLY
There are several areas during the assembly process that special attention must be paid. It is very important to follow the
assembly instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed
correctly, the indoor cycle could have parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises. To
prevent damage to the indoor cycle, the assembly instructions must be reviewed and corrective actions should be taken.
Before proceeding, find your indoor cycle’s serial number located on
the front stabilizer of the cycle and enter it in the space provided below.
ENTER YOUR SERIAL NUMBER IN THE BOX BELOW:
» Refer to the SERIAL NUMBER and MODEL NAME when calling for service.
» Be sure to enter both the SERIAL NUMBER and MODEL NAME on your warranty card.

UNPACKING
Due to the weight of the indoor cycle, it is recommended that two people

packing materials until assembly is completed.

HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN APP MODE & BT HEART RATE MODE
Home- P1
Connecting to HR Strap (off by default)
In order to access to HR Strap mode, make sure the
console is not currently connected to any Bluetooth (BT)
devices by checking that no BT Symbol is displayed on
the console.
Wear the HR strap, make sure to read the strap instruction.
Note: Some chest contact HR straps need to be moist to
read the HR precisely.
Press and hold the Bluetooth button for a few seconds
until HR MODE symbol displays on the right LCD corner.
Once the console detects the BT HR strap, the BT symbol
will display on the LED screen.
To exit HR Strap mode, disconnect the BT HR device and
ensure the BT symbol disappears from the display. Then
press and hold Bluetooth button for a few seconds until
“HR MODE” disappears on LED screen. NOTE: it should
take a few seconds for the Bluetooth to disconnect from
the console.
Hit Start to begin a workout and console should show the
heart rate.
Connecting to an App (default mode)
If using a 3rd party App, please turn on your device’s
Bluetooth (BT) and follow the App pairing instructions.
Ensure the bike console is not connected to any other BT
devices by checking that the BT symbol is not lit on the
console.
If you wish to use the BT HR Strap with a 3rd party App
that is capable, then connect to the HR strap from within
the App interface (please follow the App instructions to
find and connect to the HR Strap).
Follow the 3rd party App instructions to start the program.
Some require you to start from inside the App, others
require you to press the console Start button first.
To stop the workout, End Ride in the App and press Stop
button on console for 3 seconds.
