The most important factors at a glance
The choice of exercise bikes is huge and if you are also looking for the right exercise bike, then this compact guide should help you. We list what you should definitely look out for when buying an ergometer, which ergometer is recommended for you and how you can cycle yourself into top form at home.
Which ergometer is recommended?
First of all, the quality and workmanship of ergometers vary greatly, as very cheap exercise bikes are designed for a market in which many users put the device in the corner after a few rides. Accordingly, very inexpensive devices are often poorly made and do not last long - in our store, however, you will only find professional quality devices that could also be used in a gym under high utilization.
This is particularly recommended if you want to work on your fitness, health and form in the long term. After all, you want an exercise bike that will accompany you for years and grow with your performance.
The latter also means that training must be possible in stages and with a higher load. A higher flywheel mass is decisive for how hard you can pedal at the top. More flywheel mass means more weight and usually also a higher price. Is this recommended for an ergometer? If you are not severely restricted in your budget, definitely. With an ergometer, you are buying a machine that you can still use for a challenging workout in years to come.
The same applies to an integrated training computer. It's worth investing a little more here, as it will make your training more varied and ensure that you stay on the ball for longer. You will often also find an upper limit for your body weight, which you should definitely observe - regardless of whether it is fat or muscle mass.
Spoilt for choice
Ultimately, however, you have to choose an ergometer that suits your needs. Because even if larger, heavier machines offer more functions, you may only want a small, lightweight ergometer for warming up, which can also be conveniently stowed away if necessary. There is no right or wrong here, because your ergometer has to suit you. At least you can't go wrong with the devices in our selection in terms of quality and durability.
