Recumbent Bike

Exercising on the recumbent ergometer

On the road, recumbent bikes are the absolute exception, but it's hard to imagine modern home training without the ergometers with the reclined seating position. The seat and backrest allow you to train comfortably while still being able to perform at full capacity.

Recumbent bikes - perfect for relaxing and getting on

The seating position of a recumbent bike is as comfortable as a car seat, and you can find the perfect distance to the pedals by freely adjusting the backrest and seat spacing. Many machines also have pulse grips next to the seat, which makes training even more pleasant and efficient.
The Recumbent Bike is particularly suitable for overweight athletes, as it is easy on the joints and gently trains the muscles. In the gym, the Recumbent Bike is ideal for a gentle warm up or a relaxed cool down. And the Recumbent Bike also has a great side effect - whether watching TV, listening to music/podcasts, reading or studying for exams: in a relaxed sitting position, it's all no problem.

Sit relaxed but train strong

However, the backrest alone by no means makes endurance training secondary. With the appropriate load and wattage, training on the recumbent bike also becomes an effective fitness workout or a challenging spinning session.
Equipped with hand pedals or as a Cardio Strider, the Recumbent Bike even offers a comprehensive warm-up for the upper body or gets you connected after rehab.
We offer seated ergometers for your individual training needs. From entry-level equipment to equipment for professional demands. So you train gently for the joints, but challenging for the muscles.

Buying recumbent ergometers - features, advantages and decision criteria

Would you like to train your fitness in a particularly comfortable and back-friendly way? Then a recumbent ergometer is the training device of choice. The recumbent bikes, also known as recumbent bikes, have their origin in the field of rehabilitation sports and differ significantly from classic bicycle ergometers. Click through our recumbent ergometer range and find your new training partner today.

recumbent ergometers - simply comfortable training

The biggest difference to the classic exercise bike, indoor bike or bicycle ergometer is the sitting position. With the recumbent bike, you do not sit upright during the workout, but horizontally. In addition, the classic bicycle saddle is replaced by a wide and comfortable seat. The comfortable position while sitting is complemented by a low entry, which makes the devices particularly comfortable and user-friendly. Due to the horizontal sitting and stepping position, the spine in particular is relieved. At the same time, the increased seating comfort ensures that you can work out longer without sore buttocks. But that's not all: Since the upper body is free and relaxed during the entire workout, it is even possible to read or watch your favorite TV show while you are exercising.

Who is a Recumbent Bike suitable for?

Due to its special construction, the recumbent bike is perfect for people with joint and back problems. After all, the relaxed sitting position not only relieves the spine and intervertebral discs. It also protects the knee, ankle and hip joints. For this reason, training on a Recumbent Bike is also suitable for overweight people who want to get into endurance sports in a healthy way. Pressure points and unnecessary strain on the musculoskeletal system are eliminated by the wide seat, among other things. Another advantage of the seating position is the lower demand on torso stability and coordination skills during training. This increases safety and also reduces the risk of injury. This makes Recumbentbikes ideal for seniors as well as for sport beginners who want to acquire a healthy basic fitness. But also those who just want to train comfortably and watch a movie in the living room after work will get their money's worth with a recumbent bike.

What is important for a good recumbent ergometer?

In the meantime there are several types of recumbent ergometers on the market for all classes of requirements. In order for you to find the optimal recumbent bike in our range, you should pay attention to a few factors when buying: What is decisive for the flywheel mass: The flywheel mass is decisive for the training resistance as well as for the comfortable rotation. Basically, the higher the flywheel mass of a recumbent ergometer, the better. We recommend a minimum flywheel mass of 8 kilograms.

Which braking systems do recumbent ergometers have?

Similar to classic bicycle trainers, recumbent ergometers are also equipped with different braking systems. Simple recumbent exercise bikes have a magnetic brake system. Eddy current braking systems are much quieter and more powerful.

What is important for the drive of recumbent ergometers?

Modern recumbent ergometers are equipped with poly-V-belts, which connect the flywheel mass with the drive shaft of the pedals. The big advantage over other systems is that the technology is maintenance-free. In addition, the system works almost silently.

What is important for ergonomics and comfort?

A Recumbent bike only unfolds its joint-friendly advantages if it can be optimally adapted to its user. Ideally, the saddle can be adjusted not only forwards and backwards, but also up and down. In some cases, the angle of the backrest and the height of the pedal shaft can also be adjusted. Ideally, the latter should be at least 10 centimetres lower than the seat.
