Troubleshooting

Bike is making unusual noise

Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened. Check if the pedals are securely attached. Clean the flywheel area for any debris. If noise persists, contact customer support.

Resistance not changing

Verify the power adapter is connected and the console is powered on. Check the cable connecting the resistance mechanism to the console. Restart the bike. If the issue persists, contact support.

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the bike. Try restarting both your device and the bike. Keep your device within range (approx. 3 meters). Update your device's operating system and the fitness app. Remove and re-pair the device.

Check that the power adapter is securely plugged into both the bike and a working electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is on. If the display remains blank, contact customer support.
