Max. user weight

The maximum user weight for which the exercise bike is designed, in other words, the maximum weight of the athlete, at which the unit is guaranteed to work for the amount of time stated in the characteristics without the risk of breakage. This parameter should be adhered to as accurately as possible, do not be mistaken about the fact that 3-5 kg over the calculated weight will not affect the device. Yes, most likely, the exercise bike will be able to work for some time, but it will experience loads exceeding the calculated ones, and at best it will fail earlier than expected, and at worst it may break at the most unfortunate moment, which is fraught with injuries. In addition, this case is usually not covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and you will have to eliminate the consequences at your own expense.

More features

Handlebar controls. The exercise bike control buttons are placed on the handles of the exercise bike. With their help, you can change the load without stopping the workout. However, the control options in each model may be different.

Fan. The exercise bike has a fan. This feature is useful for cooling during intense workouts, especially in warm weather.

Bottle holder. The presence of a special rack in the design of the exercise bike, on which you can put a bottle or a glass. Thus, you will always have a supply of water at hand, and to replenish its amount in the body you will not have to be distracted from the workout on the exercise bike.

Colour display. The presence of a colour screen in the design of the simulator. This feature does not affect the main features of the device. However, such displays are considered more convenient and pleasant to view than monochromatic ones. Some models may include various additional features designed to make workouts more interesting — for example, the ability to play DVD movies or virtual workouts (see above).

Bluetooth. The presence of a Bluetooth wireless module in the exercise bike allows the exercise bike to be synchronized with the user's smartphone, tablet or laptop/PC. Thanks to data synchronization, the use...r will be able to control the results of training in a convenient form. Additionally, Bluetooth wireless communication can be used to download new training programmes to the on-board computer of the exercise bike and synchronize with the heart rate monitor via the ANT protocol.

Wi-Fi. The presence of a Wi-Fi wireless communication module in the design of the exercise bike. The Wi-Fi interface was originally intended for connecting to computer networks (including Internet access), but more recently it has also been used for direct connection between different devices, without using a network. The specific features implemented using this module may be different. So, some exercise bikes can interact with training programmes installed on tablets and smartphones and transmit information to such programmes about the details of the training (distance travelled, calories burned, etc.), others allow you to update the firmware or change the settings remotely, etc. .P.

USB port. USB itself is a universal interface designed to connect external peripherals to a computer or other control device. Actually, for the same purpose it is used in modern exercise bikes; but the specific application in different models may be different. So, USB can be used to connect heart rate sensors and other specialized accessories, to play music and/or video from a USB drive, to update the firmware using the same USB drive, etc.

TV tuner. The presence in the design of the exercise bike of a TV tuner — a device designed to receive television broadcasts. This feature is useful for those who would like to be able to watch their favourite TV programmes, series, etc. during the training: usually, models with TV tuners also have colour displays and speakers (see below), which allows you to watch the broadcast directly on the exercise bike. However, tuners can be designed for different broadcast standards; therefore, before purchasing a model with this function, it is advisable to make sure that it is compatible with local TV broadcasts.

mini-jack 3.5 mm (Aux). The 3.5 mm mini-jack (Aux) connector is designed to connect an MP3 player or a smartphone/tablet. Thanks to this, you can get the sound signal from multimedia devices to the speakers built into the exercise bike. Some models may additionally have a mini-jack connector for connecting headphones. The sound output to the headphones will allow you to train to your favourite music without disturbing other users in the same room as you.

Speakers. The presence in the design of the exercise bike of its speakers. They can play music, the sound of a movie playing on the display (see "Colour display"), as well as various service messages — for example, a warning about exceeding the maximum heart rate.

Tablet stand. Allows you to securely and safely mount a tablet with almost any screen size on the exercise bike. Thanks to this, the user can enjoy watching TV shows or movies directly during training. Usually, the stand is located under the main screen of the simulator. Advanced models are often equipped with a stand with the ability to adjust the angle of the tablet.

Power source

The type of power source used in the exercise bike.

Mains. Powered by a standard 230 V power supply. Such power allows you not to worry about replacing or recharging dead batteries — the exercise bike will work as long as there is electricity in the house. In addition, it is suitable for models with any load system, even electromagnetic (for more details, see "Load system"), while such devices are much cheaper than models with generators (see below). The main disadvantages are the dependence on the outlet and the need to use wires, which can limit mobility and get in the way. However, these shortcomings do not cause significant inconvenience.

Battery. The exercise bike is powered by replaceable batteries. The main advantage such exercise bikes can be installed anywhere without worrying about the availability of sockets and laying the power cord. On the other hand, the power of the batteries is very limited, and they are only suitable for models with mechanical or magnetic load systems (see "Load system" for more details), where power is required only for the computer. In addition, the battery life is not infinite, and they need to be changed or recharged periodically.

— Built-in generator. The exercise bike is powered by its built-in generator, which is driven by the rotation of the flywheel. In other words, when using such a model, the user himself generates the energy...required for work. To turn on the exercise bike with a built-in generator, is enough to turn the flywheel several times. This type of power supply combines the advantages of the two above. On the one hand, it is autonomous, on the other hand, it has sufficient power even to provide energy to electromagnetic load systems (for more details, see "Load system"). At the same time, this feature significantly increases the weight, and most importantly, the cost of the device, and therefore is found only in premium models.

Dimensions

The dimensions of the assembled equipment. It is important to note that in fact more space is needed for the comfortable and proper operation of the exercise bike.
