H OW TO A DJUST THE S EAT
It is important to adjust the seat to an optimal height for pedaling on the Lifecycle bike. Pedaling with the seat too
low can place excessive strain on the knees and quadriceps muscles. Pedaling with the seat too high can irritate
the feet, ankles, hips, and knees. To determine whether or not the seat requires adjustment, sit on it and place the
balls of the feet on the pedals. The knee should bend slightly when the pedal is at the lowest point of its rotation. It
should be possible to pedal without locking the knees or shifting in the seat.
The bike features a vertical locking pin seat adjustment system, which makes it easy and safe to change the height
of the seat quickly.
To raise the seat, either lift the body so that there is no weight on the seat, or get off the bike. Then, simply pull the
pop-pin on the back of the seat post, pull the seat upward to the desired height, and let it lock into place. Test and
re-adjust the seat height as necessary.
To lower the seat, get off the bike. Hold the seat, and pull the pop-pin on the back of the seat post to unlock the
post from its present position. Let the seat slide down to the desired height, and release the pop-pin, which locks
the post into place. Test and re-adjust the seat height as necessary.
CAUTION: Do not pull the pop-pin while sitting on the seat!
NEED CSA TRANSLATION OF THIS CAUTION NOTE!
The bike’s seat post can be adjusted in half-inch increments within a 13-inch range. A total of 26 height settings are
possible.
