Why an exercise bike?
An exercise bike, also known as a home trainer or cycle trainer, is nothing more than a weather-independent, stationary bike with a built-in training computer for your own home. It is one of the oldest and most frequently used training devices in private households - a true classic of endurance sports!
There are of course good reasons why the exercise bike is so popular. We'll now tell you what they are:
-
High accessibility: In principle, anyone can ride an exercise bike. You don't have to read complicated instructions or prepare yourself in any other way. You can start cycling straight away.
-
Cycling regardless of the weather: You can pedal regardless of the weather conditions - whether it's storming, snowing or pouring with rain.
-
Healthy training: Regular cycling on an exercise bike has a whole range of health benefits. You activate your cardiovascular system, improve your fitness, strengthen your muscles, burn calories and specifically prevent common ailments (e.g. back pain).
Is an exercise bike the same as an ergometer?
No, an exercise bike is not the same as an ergometer. It is an inexpensive training device that is reduced to its basic functions. This means that even beginners and people who are not very tech-savvy can use an exercise bike in no time at all. An ergometer, on the other hand, is equipped with significantly more technology.
What'smore, while the resistance levels on an ergometer are infinitely variable and can be set in watts, the resistance levels on an exercise bike can be set gradually and without specifying the exact wattage.

Get advice nowRequired space
Before you buy an exercise bike, you should make sure that you have enough space available. As a rule, you should plan for a 100 cm x 70 cm footprint. There should also be at least one metre of space on all sides of the installation site.
Good to know:
If you have very little space in your own four walls, you can also opt for a mini exercise bike. This only consists of supported pedals - e.g. the Tunturi Mini Bike exercise bike. These are not only ideal for small spaces, but also for a spontaneous training session while sitting at your desk.
Ergonomic bike for at home
Ergonomics also play a decisive role when choosing an exercise bike. Make sure that both the saddle and the handlebars are height-adjustable and can therefore be adapted to your personal height.
Braking system
There are two different types of braking systems that an exercise bike can be equipped with:
-
Shoe brake system: the flywheel mass is slowed down with brake shoes - just like on a classic bike. Home trainers equipped with brake shoes are comparatively inexpensive and generate very little noise.
-
Magnetic brake system: In contrast to the shoe brake system, a permanent magnet brakes the flywheel. Exercise bikes with a magnetic brake system are somewhat more expensive, but are more convincing due to the lack of material wear.
Flywheel mass and user weight
Of course, an exercise bike should also be stable and therefore safe. It should not wobble back and forth during exercise. To find out how stable the fitness equipment is, pay attention to the flywheel mass and the maximum user weight.
As a rule of thumb:
The higher the flywheel mass and the maximum user weight, the more stable the exercise bike is.
Training computer
Most exercise bikes are equipped with an easy-to-use training computer that displays the most important values - namely time, speed, distance, heart rate and calories burned.
If you want your training to be as varied as possible, you should make sure that the bike trainer is equipped with an on-board computer that has many different training programmes. This will prevent boredom and keep you motivated to cycle for a long time.
Good to know:
If you want to use the exercise bike with several people, you should make sure that the training computer has a memory function. This way, everyone can easily access their individual workout settings.
