ES700

RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

The ergonomic resistance control
knob located just below the
handlebars on the bike frame
easily controls pedaling resistance.
Turning the knob in a clockwise
direction increases pedal resistance.
Turning the knob in a counter
clockwise direction decreases pedal
resistance.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT

To ensure maximum comfort,
exercise efficiency, and injury
prevention make sure the seat is
adjusted to the proper position.  

• Adjust the seat height so that you

have a very slight bend in the knee
at the bottom of the pedal stroke.  

• When the proper seat height has

been achieved, adjust the seat
forward or back so that the feet
are at the 3 o’clock and 9
o’clock positions and the
forward knee is directly over the
pedal axle.

• 

When a comfortable seat
position is found, make note of
the seat height and fore/aft
position for future use.
