But meanwhile there are a number of parameters, drawing attention to which, you can choose the best option for yourself. It:
- method of mounting the seat of the simulator;
- maximum user weight;
- computer functions;
- braking system simulator;
- ergonomics of the simulator;
- manufacturer of an exercise bike.
The choice of an exercise bike for a house by the method of securing the seat
There may be horizontal and vertical options for fixing the seats of exercise bicycles. Usually for fitness choose bikes with a vertical method of securing the seat. The same horizontal exercise bikes are needed for those who have any problems with their backs.
How to choose an exercise bike for the house according to the maximum weight of the user?
If you are planning to exercise on an exercise bike with the whole family, among the members of which there are comrades of great weight, then this parameter must be paid attention. All mechanical bikes can withstand weight up to 100 kg, most magnetic simulators have the same weight bar. Some magnetic and electromagnetic models are designed for users with a weight of up to 130 kg.
The choice of an exercise bike on the functions of a computer
The simplest computers of exercise bikes show speed, time, distance and calories. Machines are more difficult to tell you about the pulse. This function is also important, since it allows you to select the right level of load, taking into account the maximum possible heart rate for your age.
Exercise bike with which braking system to choose?
There are three types of the system of braking the exercise bike: mechanical, electromagnetic and magnetic.
- Simulators with a mechanical braking system belong to the lowest price segment, since this system is rather primitive. The disadvantage of this system is an increased level of bike noise and low level of wear resistance. As often, such simulators have a minimum set of functions.
- The magnetic braking system is considered more qualitative and modern. In the exercise bike there is a load-changing regulator. In addition, such simulators are usually equipped with a computer with an expanded set of functions. Also simulators with a magnetic braking system have a better design, a more comfortable seat and belong to the average price category. Therefore, simulators of this type are most often chosen for the home.
- The electromagnetic system allows you to set a training program, and a smart machine will change the load level in accordance with your program. Most often, such simulators are used for rehabilitation or therapeutic purposes.
