Connecting to the E-connected application

You can connect your bike via Bluetooth to the E-connected application and partner applications, available on tablets and smartphones.
Connection is via Bluetooth from the application.

With E-connected you can choose from 3 modes:

- Resistance mode:the button can adjust the resistance of the application.
- Free exercise mode:the bike is connected to the leisure mode, the user can set the virtual speed (from 1 to 32) with the button.
- Training mode:With the exception of heart rate, the experience and data are only displayed on the application.

Connecting a heart rate sensor

The bike is equipped with a Bluetooth heart rate sensor compatible with Bluetooth Low Energy.
Pairing only takes place when the bike is booted up, so it is not possible to pair while riding.
The pairing menu will appear if a belt is detected by the bike.
The heart rate, in beats per minute, is displayed on the console button screen.
If the connection is lost during the session, it is automatically restored as soon as the equipment is detected again by the bike.

This measurement is a guide and in no way a medical guarantee.

Setting the resistance level

There are 32 resistance levels on the bike, which you can vary in two ways:
- rotating the console wheel.Clockwise to increase, anti-clockwise to decrease.
- pressing the + and - buttons on the handlebars.If you hold down one of the buttons, the values vary by 1 every half-second.
