230i How do you move the seat back for leg length?

There is a knob under the seat, on the right side of the railing. "Unscrew" the knob, and pull it out. That removes the pin from the railing. Then slide the seat back as needed until the pin "clicks" into the correct spot. Then screw the knob back in, that's it.

Yvonne there is a knob underneath the seat to adjust the seat distance for leg length! Love my bike! Kathy S.

You just lean back with a little bit more pressure than you would leaning against it normally, and it moves the way it should. The back goes back while the front of the seat comes up a bit too (very comfy for putting your feet on your desk if you feel like it). There is also a lever on the side that will lock that function, preventing you from being able to lean back in the chair.

Hi, Madeline. Hope it's not too late to help. I got the Active 20 and the seat adjustment is the same as a higher-end Schwinn that my friend has. They both adjust forward and backward only, but the seats slide at a downward, somewhat shallow angle. So there's no true 'vertical' adjustment--but a slight vertical change when you slide it backwards and forwards. It may provide little consolation, but the nature of recumbent bicycles means that your height in relation to the ground becomes somewhat irrelevant, as the most important rule to follow is the distance between your hips and the pedals. As long as you're not hyper-extending your knees (legs entirely outstretched when your foot is on the pedal farthest away from you), bicycle manufacturers think that the location of the pedals isn't important, as long as they're not above your heart. I'm sorry if I couldn't help you. One more thing, it's also bad to have your legs so cramped that your pedaling brings your knees close to your chest.

It's probably due to the length of the actual seat, and where it hits the back of your legs. There is a way to adjust some of the chairs, so you'd want to find out which model your firm purchased. Either the vendor or the site should be able to assist you once you know the model.

Turn the chair upside down and push the front and back legs together. Sometimes a little jiggling is needed.

Use your right hand to grasp the fabric of the seat in the middle of the rear edge of the seat. Use your left hand to grasp the fabric of the seat in the middle of the front edge of the seat. Pull up sharply with both hands simultaneously - et voila ! ADVANCED TECHNIQUE: Swap hands :)

I have a 29 inch inseam and when sitting with my back against the seat back, the edge of the chair is before where I bend my knees. Hope that description helps.

I have not had occasion to adjust the foot rest. I haven't found a mechanism for adjusting the length.

Ummm well, how to describe.... Just secure it to the base, or anything that you can hook it to. The "leg"of the seat. It may end up restricting moving seat forward or back if you need to. But most time I personally don't move my seats much. If you do move it, then you can adjust straps again. Hope this helps?

just loosen the fastener just forward of the seat, fold handlebars, forks, and front wheel back. with the provided allen wrench, loosen the handlebars to fold sideways. Loosen the seat clamp to either remove it or allow it to lower. pretty easy to figure out.

You hold the handle, anchor the middle leg against the ground, grab the bottom of the seat, and pull out. The other two legs pivot (so they have to be clear) as the seat slides down into position. It's easy once you get the hang of it; I absolutely depend on mine!!

Take off seat, place frame back over holes and put seat back in place and screw back down

On the right side of the chair, there is an indentation in the chair with a small handle which you pull up and back. this allows the foot rest to actually ppop up, if you do nit attempt to put your legs on the foot rest to allow it to bring it up gently. i found it extremely difficult to bring the foot rest back into the a"chair position" for the first week or so, but now it is doing just fine.i found no button or lever to cause the foot rest to go back to the original position; it must be pushed back until you hear a 'click'.

It is easier than it appears to be. The metal support with the legs labeled "2" is the one that is removable. Look underneath the seat, and yank that support out of its socket. Once it is out, the seat folds easily.

Fold the chair to get the backrest on then lock down the bottom hinges it will stretch enough

You lift the back of the seat up. I find this the only negative. They don't stack well and they tend to flop open when you don't want them to. Otherwise they are very comfortable.

The seat and back move forward together. There's a knob under the seat that you can loosen and move the seat/back forward or back then tighten again. It adjusts well for shorter or longer legs.
