how to repair an elliptical machine

Elliptical machines allow users to perform aerobic exercises by simulating some movements of walking and cycling.
These devices include a set of pedals and handles mounted on the base.
When the pedal moves, the drive belt installed inside the base turns the flywheel, which creates resistance when moving.
The console unit installed on the oval upright tracks the rotation of the flywheel.
This allows the device to calculate the simulated distance the user has traveled during the exercise.
