It is possible to enter a value of Watts or METS to maintain on your Lifecycle bike, rather than a resistance level.
To enter a value of Watts to maintain, you must first enter into the Manual Workout as you normally would:
Continue pedaling
Press 0/Watts, then within two seconds...
Enter a Watts value between 33 and 328, then press Enter.
To enter a value of METS to maintain:
Begin pedaling and press the Start Key
Press the 8/METS key, then the Enter Key
When you are prompted, enter your weight and press the Enter Key
When you are prompted, enter into the Manual Workout as you normally would.
You may change your setting in either the Watts or METS mode at anytime during a workout by pressing the
0/Watts or 8/METS Key and keying in a new Watts or METS value to maintain, followed by Enter. To return to a
resistance level, key in a number between 0 – 12.
Both the Watts and METS options will "lock" the Feedback Window, displaying only the Watts and METS values.

Several years ago, I purchased a new C3, and one of the critical functions was pedal RPM..........so yesterday I got a brand new C3, and it does not have the RPM function on the Go Console..........is there a way I can approximate the pedal RPM when i'm in manual W/O by viewing my speed?

The Lifecycle C3 exercise bike automatically adjusts pedal resistance based on RPM in manual workout mode. To approximate your pedal RPM, observe the resistance changes:
- If resistance increases, your RPM has slowed.
- If resistance decreases, your RPM has increased.

Since the bike maintains a "constant work" system, you can estimate RPM by maintaining a consistent pedaling speed and noting resistance changes. The console does not provide direct RPM readings but adjusting resistance and pedaling at a steady pace can help gauge your effort level.
