ARE THE SOUNDS MY UPRIGHT BIKE MAKES NORMAL
Our upright bi es are some of the quietest available because the use belt drives and
friction free magnetic resistance.
e use the highest grade bearings and belts to
minimise noise.
o ever because the resistance s stem itself is so quiet
ou
ill
occasionall hear other slight mechanical noises. Unli e older louder technologies there
are no fans friction belts or alternator noises to mas these sounds on our upright bi es.
These mechanical noises
hich ma or ma not be intermittent are normal and are
caused b the transfer of significant amounts of energ to a rapidl spinning fl
heel.
All bearings belts and other rotating parts
ill generate some noise
hich
ill transmit
through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightl
during a
or out and over time because of the thermal e pansion of the parts.
WHY IS THE UPRIGHT BIKE I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT
THE STORE
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store sho room because there is generall
more bac ground noise than in our home. Also there
ill be less reverberation on a
carpeted concrete floor than on a
ood overla floor. Sometimes a heav rubber mat
ill
help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a
all
there
ill be more reflected noise.
HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST
The computer modeling
e have done indicated virtuall thousands of maintenance
free hours. elts are no
commonl used in far more demanding applications such as
motorc cle drives.
CAN I MOVE THE UPRIGHT BIKE EASIER ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED
our ori on itness upright bi e has a pair of transport
heels built into the front foot.
It is eas to move our upright bi e b rolling it on the front transport
heels.
It is important that ou place our
ori on itness upright bi e in a comfortable and
inviting room. our upright bi e is designed to use minimal floor space.
an people
ill
place their upright bi es facing the T
or a picture
indo . If at all possible avoid
putting our upright bi e in a unfinished basement. To ma e e ercise a desirable dail
activit for ou the upright bi e should be in an attractive setting.
