To maintain a smooth ride it is important to clean the
flywheel from dust. No cleaning results in an uneven
watt output.
1) Remove the service hatch. See figure 23.
2) Vacuum clean the bike inside when necessary to
prevent dust from gathering on the flywheel. If dirt
has already gathered on the flywheel edge, use a
piece of rough felt to sand it down.
To maintain a smooth ride it is important to clean the
kevlar pad from dust. No cleaning results in a dark
slippery surface on the brake pad and uneven watt
output.
1) Remove the service hatch. See figure 23.
2) Use steel wool or something similar to remove the
slippery surface. Vacuum clean the kevlar pad and
the inside of the bike afterwards.

MAINTENANCE
REMOVAL OF SIDE COVERS
The side covers can be removed e.g. if the
belt needs to be changed. This is techni-
cian only.
1) Dismount the right pedal arm with an
8mm Allen wrench. See figure 19.
2) Dismount the brake handle. See figure
20. Hold the cap nut with a 17 mm wrench
and unscrew the brake handle.
Be sure to catch all internal parts in the
brake system.
3) Remove front and back post sealings.
See figure 18.
4) Remove the 4mm bolt in the front and
back of the bike. See figure 21.
5) Pull off the top cover. This makes the
two hidden bolts accessible. See figure
22
PLEASE NOTE
Don’t change the poly v-belt if you
don’t have the right tools to install
it properly again.

MAINTENANCE
The Kevlar® pad on the BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake
has an expected durability of a minimum of 1500
hours, so eventually the brake pad will be worn. To
ensure that the brake pad is correctly mounted,
it has been pre-fitted to the block, and it is only
possible to purchase the complete brake block. Go
to page 30.
But most of the time, cleaning the Kevlar® pad is
enough to obtain a smooth ride again. See figure
17. If cleaning doesn’t help anymore follow the steps
below.
Inspect the Kevlar® brake pad after the first month
and thereafter every 3rd month. The Kevlar® brake
pad should be replaced before it is worn through
and reveal the black rubber.
To get to the brake block, it is necessary to remove
the service hatch. See figure 23.
1) Release tension completely on the brake. Coun-
terclockwise will loosen the resistance. See figure 8.
2) Remove the two screws holding the brake block
to the frame by using an 8 mm wrench, see figure
24.

3) Take the new brake block and fasten it to
the frame by tightening the screw closest to
the brake block. Then place the block in the
correct position under the brake, see figure
25.
4) Fasten the remaining screw furthest
away from the block, and then make sure
that both screws are tightened properly, see
figure 26.
5) Grease should be applied to the cavity
on top of the brake block or to the top nut
on the brake to ensure a smooth interaction
between the two.
6) Finally, remount the service hatch.
PLEASE NOTE
Clean the flywheels outer
diameter to an even smoother
ride.

MAINTENANCE
If the belt does not catch hold of the flywheel, it is time for
it to be tightened. Do not adjust this if you don’t have the
right tools. Check step 5.
1) Remove the service hatch on both sides of the cycle.
See figure 23.
2) Loosen the bolts (1) on both sides of the cycle with a 19
mm wrench, See figure 27
3) Loosen the nuts (2) on the counter bolt on both sides
of the cycle with a 10 mm wrench, see figure 27.
4) Use a wrench to tighten the counter bolts (3). On the
right side, the tool should be pulled downwards and on
the left side upwards to tighten with a 10 mm wrench.
5) The belt should be tightened to approximately 125
kg/229 Hz. To measure this, a special device can be
bought at your local BODY BIKE® distributor. Go to page
30.
6) Tighten the counter bolt (2) on both sides of the cycle
again.
7) And tighten the bolt(1) again on both sides of the cycle.
8) Close the cycle by fastening the two hatches again.
POLY-V BELT
PLEASE NOTE
The belt should be evenly tightened on both
sides.
The flywheel should be parallel with the long
main side member.

Every other week the posts need
cleaning to protect them from sweat
etc.
Pull out the seat- and front post until
a STOP sign appear then wipe them
clean with an oily cloth, see figure
28.
Do not pull the saddle and front post
out from the bike, unless it was the
intention. Remember each bike has
a bike nr. which is indicated on the
saddle and front post. Therefore, do
not switch posts between the bikes.
If this has happened, use the BODY
BIKE INDOOR CYCLE app to safely
switch the posts back. Step on the
pedals and the bike number will ap-
pear in the app. Match the number
with the number on the posts.

PLEASE NOTE
The posts should be cleaned
every other week to keep them in

3) How to get rid of horizontal movement in the
saddle and steer?
If the front sled or saddle sled begins to slide forward
even though they are locked by the smart handles, it
is time to tighten them up Go to page 15-16 and fol-
low the instructions. Remember, do not overtighten.
Everybody needs to be able to adjust the bike.
2) Does the warranty cover me?
If something on your bike breaks it is always a good
idea to check if it is covered by the warranty. Go to
page 5 and 6. This gives you the overview that you
need. If the warranty covers the damage then go to
Page 26.
1) How to get rid of downwards movement in
the saddle and steer?
If the front post or saddle post begins to slide down
even though they are locked by the smart handles,
it is time to tighten them up. Go to page 17 and fol-
low the instructions. Remember, do not overtighten.
Everybody needs to be able to adjust the bike.
5) The poly-v belt doesn’t grip properly in the
flywheel?
This can easily be fixed. Go to page 23 and follow
the instructions. But do not perform this action if you
don’t have the necessary tools.
6) What is the durability of the brake block?
It is expected that the durability of the brake block is
minimum 1500 hours. This can vary depending on the
power applied. Go to page 21 and check if it is time to
replace your brake block.
4) Any good daily advice to keep the cycles in a
good condition?
It is not only important to follow the maintenance
but also very important to treat the bike well in every-
day use. This keeps the bikes in a good condition.
Go to page 4 and make sure that this is respected in
daily use.
