Abstract
An exercise device comprises a flywheel, a seat, a driving assembly, and a calculation module. The driving assembly drives the flywheel to rotate and comprises a driving wheel, a coupling member, and two cranks respectively connecting with a pedal. The coupling member connects the wheel and the flywheel. The user drives the wheel via the pedals. The calculation module performs a method to estimate a proper seat position and/or a crank length for the user.
