TypeErgometer: speed-independent, watt-controlled – the set power stays the same regardless of pedaling cadence; exercise bike: resistance depends on speed

Form factorBasic design according to the manufacturer: upright, semi-recumbent with backrest, or folding X-bike
Upright
Recumbent (chair-style)
Resistance systemType of brake and how it is adjusted: magnetic via rotary knob (manual), magnetic via console (motorized) or induction for the finest gradation. Manufacturers also call induction ECB, eddy current or electromagnetic brake – even when “magnetic brake” is in the name; the motorized magnet is also called SMR or digital resistance. If the resistance adjusts itself during a workout (auto resistance, auto-follow, control via app), the adjustment is motorized – never “Magnetic, manual”.

Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Domyos EB520 B ist ein leiser, vernetzter Heimtrainer ohne Steckdose, bei dem Kinomap über Bluetooth FTMS den motorischen Widerstand an Steigungen selbst nachstellt. Er taugt für Einsteiger und lockeres Ausdauertraining in der Wohnung. Der Haken: Der Serien-Sattel schmerzt schon nach 30 min, der Q-Faktor von 22 cm ist breit und Watt fehlen ganz – plan einen Ersatzsattel und einen Brustgurt gleich mit ein.

Pros

  • Läuft ohne Steckdose, Standort frei wählbar
  • Kinomap steuert den motorischen Widerstand über Bluetooth FTMS
  • Sehr leiser, runder Lauf durch Riemen und Magnetbremse
  • Tiefer Einstieg und stabiler Stand auch bei hoher Trittfrequenz
  • Ersatzteile laut Hersteller bis 10 Jahre lieferbar, 13 Baugruppen selbst tauschbar
  • Empfängt Bluetooth-Brustgurt für genaue Pulswerte

Cons

  • Serien-Gelsattel im Test schon nach 30 min schmerzhaft
  • Q-Faktor von 22 cm breit, ungünstig für empfindliche Knie
  • Keine Wattanzeige und keine Wattsteuerung
  • Laute Pieptöne beim Anfahren und Anhalten
  • Sattel nur in der Höhe verstellbar, Höchstwiderstand für Sportler zu gering

Das JOROTO JH50 ist ein leises, stabiles Liegerad mit manueller Magnetbremse, das laut Hersteller bis 181 kg trägt. Es passt zu Älteren, schweren Menschen und für sanftes Training nach einer Knie-OP. Der Haken: Die Sitzschiene ist ab etwa 1,85 m zu kurz, die 16 Stufen sind unten kaum unterscheidbar, und ohne Wattsteuerung bleibt es ein Heimtrainer ohne Programme.

Pros

  • Belastbarkeit bis 181 kg laut Hersteller, mehr als bei vielen Liegerädern
  • Riemenantrieb sehr leise, Fernsehen in Zimmerlautstärke möglich
  • Rund 40 kg schwerer, stabiler Rahmen mit verstellbaren Füßen
  • Bequemer Einstieg ohne Beinschwung, gut für Ältere und Reha
  • Widerstand per Drehknopf während der Fahrt einfach verstellbar
  • Batteriebetrieb, keine Steckdose nötig

Cons

  • Sitzschiene ab etwa 1,85 m Körpergröße mehrfach zu kurz
  • Untere Widerstandsstufen kaum unterscheidbar, oben grobe Sprünge
  • Keine Wattsteuerung, keine Programme, kein Brustgurt-Empfang
  • Kinomap und JOROTO-App zeichnen nur auf, verstellen keinen Widerstand
  • Vereinzelt fehlende Teile wie Display oder Kabelstecker bei Lieferung
