Smart exercise bikes make working out easier than ever. Giving you valuable insight into your performance and outlining how you can improve.
Smart exercise bikes come in a few different shapes and sizes but look for one that offers a breadth of integrations via Bluetooth, ANT+ and FTMS as well as real work feel and high-quality components.
Air exercise bikes are designed to create a high-intensity workout helping to improve your muscle tone, burn fat and strengthen your cardiovascular system.
The faster you ride the higher the resistance becomes. However, our Wattbike Air is a little different. The Air has an adjustable resistance system allowing you to keep your momentum while training hard.
Studio exercise bikes or studio bikes are designed to be versatile and easy to use. Studio bikes tend to be a very basic setup which can sometimes be a little counterintuitive. It means you might not be able to build a data-driven workout but you can just jump on it and ride for a while.
Being able to adjust your exercise bike to your liking is a key part of your workout. Adjustable seat position, handlebars and pedals are necessary features to get the most out of your exercise bike.
Without the ability to adjust elements of your bike, you'll struggle to have effective workout sessions and could potentially create injuries for yourself which will only hinder your fitness journey.
Make sure you can adjust the saddle height, depth and handlebar height as a minimum.
Exercise bikes work by a using resistance system to help create intense workouts or a leisurely ride. Electromagnetic resistance is one of the popular choices in modern exercise bikes. It allows for accurate resistance settings as well as smart controls and data feedback.
Some exercise bikes use an air/fan resistance method which is also a good choice. Air resistance creates a natural consistent feel while you train.
Getting to grips with your new exercise bike is one of the big factors in choosing the right one. With more and more athletes and enthusiasts choosing smart indoor bikes it's important to find one that suits your needs, meets your expectations and is easy for you to use.
Make sure you're comfortable with the controls, how to use the apps you can connect to and how to use the programmes if there are any equipped.
The drive refers to the way that the indoor bike operates when you turn the pedals. There are usually two main drive types, belt drive and chain drive.
Both options have their merits, for example, chain-driven exercise bikes tend to have a more realistic feeling and sound. While they're hardwearing they could require some minor maintenance every now and again. Belt-driven bikes are a little quieter but don't offer realistic feedback and feeling. While they're built with tough, high-quality materials there is a possibility that they'll slip or wear over time.
The flywheel is usually connected to the pedals via the drive type of the bike. The flywheel is what you're trying to spin while pedalling and your resistance system is stopping that flywheel from spinning. This might be done with adjustable brakes or an electromagnet for example.
The flywheel is usually found encased in the bike which is ideal for safety and keeping it clean.
