Using the Tacx NEO motion plates is easy. First, make sure your NEO, NEO 2, or NEO 2T smart trainer is in a stable position. Then, simply attach the two - piece motion plates magnetically to the underside of the trainer. When you start your ride, enjoy the more natural movement that mimics outdoor cycling. Remember to keep the trainer and motion plates on a flat surface to ensure a balanced ride. As for maintenance, regularly check the magnetic attachments to make sure they're clean and strong. If there's any dirt on the plates, you can wipe them with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the plates. Also, when not in use, store the motion plates in a dry place to prevent rust or other damage.
