How to Adjust Seat
A properly adjusted seat is important in any bike-oriented exercise activity. If the seat is too close, excessive strain
will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles. If the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate
the feet, ankles, hips and knees.
Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position allows movement through the
bottom of the stroke without locking the knees, shifting in the seat or forcefully extending the hips. The knees
should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted lower, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle located underneath the nose of the
seat. Hold both the handle and nose of the seat with one hand and use the other hand to grab the rear of the seat.
Slide the handle and seat down to the proper position. Release the handle to complete engagement. Gently slide
the seat up and down a small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance and readjust as
necessary.
If the seat needs to be adjusted higher, grab the seat and slide it up to the proper position. When adjusting the
seat to a higher position, the user does not have to lift the adjusting handle.
Caution: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike or sitting on the seat. Doing so may
cause injury or result in an uncomfortable workout.
