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

Der Skandika Cykling P12 Comfort ist ein bequemes Liegeergometer für Arme und Beine mit einem um 90° drehbaren Sitz, der dir den seitlichen Einstieg erleichtert. Für Ältere und alle, die ungern auf einem Sattel sitzen, halten wir das Konzept für stimmig. Der Haken: Das Gerät braucht 149 x 86 cm Stellfläche plus Platz zum Einstieg, und Ersatzteile kamen teils sehr spät, deshalb fällt unser Urteil gemischt aus.

Pros

  • Um 90° drehbarer Sitz erleichtert den seitlichen Einstieg
  • Arm- und Beintraining in einer Einheit
  • Sesselsitz mit Rückenlehne entlastet Rücken und Gesäß
  • Pulsgesteuerte Programme unter den 22 Trainingsprogrammen
  • Kinomap-Anbindung, Abo nur optional
  • 45,9 kg Eigengewicht spricht für einen ruhigen Stand

Cons

  • Braucht 149 x 86 cm Stellfläche plus Platz zum Einstieg
  • Service vereinzelt schwer erreichbar, Ersatzteile teils mit langer Wartezeit
