5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adjusting the Bike

• Seat Height: Adjust the seat height to ensure your leg is slightly bent at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. Loosen the adjustment knob on the seat post, slide the seat to the desired height, and re-tighten the knob securely. The adjustable seat height range is 73-86 cm.
• Resistance Level: The bike features 8 levels of magnetic resistance. Turn the tension control knob, typically located below the handlebars, clockwise to increase resistance (for a harder workout) and counter-clockwise to decrease resistance (for an easier workout).
