HOW TO OPERATE THE
INDOOR CYCLE

RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT:

The resistance adjustment can be set precisely and regulated in fine increments according to the requirements of
the cyclist using the resistance adjustment knob with a range of motion of 300°. The resistance in % (where 0% is no
resistance and 100% is maximum resistance) is also displayed on the Indoor Cycle computer display.
To increase the resistance, turn the resistance adjustment knob clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn it counter-
clockwise. For a magnetic brake system, like the one fitted to this Indoor Cycle, the magnetic resistive effect also
increases with pedalling frequency.
Never pedal backwards under resistance, as this can loosen the screws between the pedals and the crank arm and the
two may even become detached. To stop the flywheel during use, the resistance knob/emergency brake knob must be
pressed down. During training, please make sure your shoes are placed in the toe clips (cages) provided or if you are
using cycling shoes, that they are connected with the SPD cleats.
The Indoor Bike does not have a free-moving flywheel. The flywheel is firmly connected to the pedals and does
not stop independently if the user stops pedalling. Please always check your movements and reduce speed
in a controlled manner to stop or simply press the red resistance/emergency brake knob down to quickly
slow down the movement and in so doing bring the flywheel to a stop and suspend the training session.
Emergency brake = press down red resistance/emergency knob.
If the emergency brake has been activated, it can only be disengaged again when the flywheel has come
to a complete standstill and the pressure has been removed from the pedals.
The Indoor Cycle shall only be operated in forward pedaling motion. The emergency brake functionality is limited when
pedaling backwards. Do not attempt to adjust seat and handlebar in vertical or horizontal position while riding or seated.
