- Speed Unit: Miles per hour (mph)
- Distance Unit: Miles
- Power Source (Console): Batteries (not included)
- Assembly Components: Includes various bolts, nuts, washers, frame parts (front/rear stabilizers, upright, lower/upper arms, pedal arms), flywheel, crank, console, and wiring for resistance and pulse sensors.
