SETTING UP YOUR BIKE
Taking a moment to learn how to set up your HOIST® LeMond® Series RC correctly will make your
workouts a more pleasant experience. The design of the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC provides more
seat adjustability than any other recumbent available. Making full use of this feature will give you the
most comfortable ride possible and ensure maximum exercise efficiency. Using the bike in an incorrect
position can result in unnecessary discomfort and increase the risk of injury.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
To find the correct seat position for you, sit on the seat and place the ball of your foot on the center of
the pedal. Your knee should remain slightly bent when the pedal is in the farthest position away from
you. You should be able to complete the entire pedal rotation without locking the knees and without
dramatically shifting your weight from side to side.
Adjusting the Fore/Aft Position
The HOIST® LeMond® Series RC is designed to be used by adults from 58 in (147.3 cm) to 80 in (203.2
cm) tall. The seat rail has 20 locking positions to choose from.
1. Place the pedal in the forward position. Sit comfortably on the seat with the ball of your foot on the
center of the pedal.
2. If the knee is locked, move the seat forward. If the knee is bent too much, move the seat backward.
Your knee should remain slightly bent when the pedal is in the farthest position away from you.
Your leg angle should be approximately 150 degrees (30 degrees less than full extension) when the
pedal is at the most forward point for proper ergonomic position.
3. To move the seat, simply pull up on the wrap-around lever that is below the front of the seat. With
the handle held in the upward position, slide the seat forward or backward to the correct position
then release the lever and the seat will click in place.
Adjusting the Seat Angle
Seat angle adjustment is a feature that is unique to the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC. This adjustability
allows you to find the most comfortable riding position for your specific body type. It also offers you five
(5) riding positions to fine-tune your angle in a way that no other recumbent bike can. Correct posi-
tioning on the bike will help prevent over-use injuries and keep you moving forward in achieving your
fitness goals.
1. To change the angle of the seat, simply pull up on one of the yellow handles located on each side of
the seat carriage.
2. While holding either handle up, adjust the tilt angle of the seat by shifting your weight forward or
backward until you find the most comfortable pedaling position.
3. After establishing your optimal seat angle, release the handle to its original position.
Note:
Once you have found the seat angle position that is most comfortable for you, it may be necessary to
readjust the fore/aft position of the seat. Remember that your knee should not lock when the pedal is
in the most forward position.
