how much % of your muscles do you have to use to start the motar?

100% because it never did start on the 1st pull like it said it would, I finally had to go and get and electric start by Troy built and I just love it..I will stick with Troy built from now on.

Not much at all. Mine starts on the second pull 95% of the time. I've never had a problem with mine.

i say you will get to hit about maybe 35-40 max but more like 30 with that battery and gearing. if you get a smaller spur and a larger pinion with a lipo with a good c rating, then you could get to 60-70

It's enough for 'Me'. It really depends on where a persons fitness level is. Specifying that you like a LOT of resistance, 'you' may want more, to be on the safe side. But again, 8 is a lot of resistance on this bike.

I would say starting out you should use 5 lbs and under. What is good about this is that it comes with a really great intro-moderate resistance band. I used this band for the program and got great results, so just starting out you don't need to by anything extra.

Its really good. I ride pretty often and I never make it past a 4 on The Marcy Bike. I use 2 for the warmup / cool down. I belive it gets up to 9 on the settings... maybe one day I will get higher!

I forgot to mention the motor and battery can all be replaced under the 50% plan after thirty days. When getting used to this truck run it in "training mode" first. Once you can control it without wrecking a lot or just flipping it over go for "sport mode". Training mode cuts the power to 50% which still makes for a quick truck btw. Sport mode for a beginner is just insane lol.

You can control the amount of torque through the output of your arm momentum. If you get it spinning and you maintain it at a comfortable momentum, then keep it there. "up to 24.9 lb" means you can spin it up to 10k rpm, but it takes a lot of work, which is also a great workout.

Depending the size of your arm, maybe almost half your arm from hand to elbow. Not small but not too big either

I found that you should start less than full strength. It is very powerful.

I have just started using the bike... and I find that if I just don't use any of the aerobic options and just stay steady with it at one, it's okay. I don't believe you can get the resistance any lower, but you can build up your strength using level 1 until ready to start using the workout aerobic trainers. I don't choose anything... when I get on the bike I just start to petal... and let it stay neutral like I'm on a level terrain track. I can only do 10 min at a time right now.

The lowest setting is with the piston at the bottom of the handle. If this is the case, you will find that rowing is easier when the oil in the piston heats up. It takes about 25 repetitions. Until then pull slowly but steadily. Of course the faster you pull, the more the resistance. This is unlike the air machines, in which you can start with quick repetitions. Just take it slow at first.

It is set at 24. Not ideal for bar muscle-ups but it is a very sturdy pull-up bar.

My son put the top on for me...he says all you need are muscles and a screw driver. Some of the pieces fit tightly, as they should, and strength is required to fit them over their frame. As has already been mentioned, let it sit outside on a warm sunny day before installation.

you need to call customer service about that question. I had a problem with starting it.We got it started but only when i spray caburetor cleaner into carburetor to stat it.Thats the only way to get it started.

When I started, I moved at half count. It doesn't take long to work up to full count but I still back down some time and feel I'm getting a good workout. The exercise aids do not need to used when you start and they can be added when you want to push yourself. Use the warm up exercises. The add 3-4 minutes, but worth it. Again, it doesn't take long to get to full intensity.

The intensity of the 10 minute workout is not as great at T25. You can still get a pretty good workout if you push yourself and take less brakes

You're working your thighs, not really your calves, but I find it to be a decent workout. You can adjust the tension as you wish. I honestly love this little bike. It's small, light-weight, and for the money, it's exactly what I wanted.
