RIDING YOUR BIKE
Set your weight before every workout. This
allows the Z5 Bike to control your workout
more effectively.
The body weight setting does not affect the
calorie expenditure calculation. Unlike
treadmills or other weight-bearing
exercises, calories burned during exercise
biking does not change with different body weights.
Adjust the seat so that when
your leg is fully extended with
your feet in the pedals, your
knee is slightly bent.
While standing next to the bike, pull
out the seat adjust knob and lower the
seat to the lowest position. Next, get
onto the bike with one leg fully
extended in a pedal, supporting most
of your weight. Grasp the horn of the
seat and pull it up under you to a snug
fit, letting the ratcheting mechanism
lock the knob and pin in place.

Variations in human
exercise efficiency are
another potential
source of error, with
differences of plus or
minus 10% common
in the population.
