COmmON pROdUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNdS my ExERCISE bIkE mAkES NORmAl?

our exercise bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. we 

use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will 

occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator 

noises to mask these sounds on our exercise bikes. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal 

and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. all bearings, belts and other 

rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. it is also normal for these sounds to 

change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHy IS THE ExERCISE bIkE I HAd dElIVEREd lOUdER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

all fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your 

home. also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. sometimes a heavy 

rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. if a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more 

reflected noise.

HOW lONG WIll THE dRIVE bElT lAST?

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. You should not have to replace 

the belt as long as you have the exercise bike.

CAN I mOVE THE ExERCISE bIkE EASIly ONCE IT IS ASSEmblEd?

Your exercise bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the moVing THe exeRcise 

bike section to transport your exercise bike. it is important that you place your exercise bike in a comfortable and inviting room. 

Your exercise bike is designed to use minimal floor space. many people will place their exercise bikes facing the TV or a picture 

window. if at all possible, avoid putting your exercise bike in an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity 

for you, the exercise bike should be in a comfortable setting.
