What to do when your Vitamaster bike isn’t working? Dead batteries, a failed power supply, bad electrical connections or a faulty console can prevent the control console from turning on. The console controls pedal resistance and displays time, distance, resistance level and other settings and readings. As you become more fit, increase to 40 minutes. Stay at this level for up to 20 minutes if you are just starting out. Turn the pedals fast enough so you are slightly winded, but can still speak without difficulty. Increase your speed for the workout portion of the ride. If your bike has a console, press the “Start” button to begin tracking your ride, otherwise, use a stop watch to time yourself. Newer models may have a basic control console that measures time, speed and distance. The first Vitamaster bikes had no monitoring consoles. When that happens, trust Sears PartsDirect to have the parts you need to get your Vitamaster appliance back into top shape.
