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 EB900 B ist ein solider Heimtrainer der Mittelklasse, der ohne Steckdose läuft und dessen motorische Bremse Kinomap über Bluetooth FTMS selbst verstellen lässt. Er läuft leise und rund, der tiefe Einstieg erleichtert älteren Menschen das Aufsteigen. Der Haken: harter Sattel, wacklige Konsolenelektronik und keine Wattanzeige. Wir halten ihn für eine gute Wahl fürs Gesundheitstraining, für Leistungsziele reicht er nicht.
Pros
- Läuft ohne Steckdose, der Strom kommt aus dem Pedaltritt
- Kinomap steuert den Widerstand über Bluetooth FTMS automatisch
- Leiser Riemenantrieb mit 8 kg Schwungmasse, auch abends wohnungstauglich
- Tiefer Einstieg erleichtert Älteren und in der Reha das Aufsteigen
- Laut Hersteller bis 150 kg belastbar, mit 42 kg stabiler Stand
- Ersatzteile 10 Jahre nach dem letzten Verkauf erhältlich
Cons
- Gel-Sattel bei längeren Einheiten zu hart
- Konsole startet nicht immer zuverlässig und bleibt mehrfach hängen
- Keine Wattanzeige, für Training nach Leistung ungeeignet
- Handsensoren messen den Puls ungenau, Brustgurt nötig
- Q-Faktor von 22 cm eher breit
Der Hammer Cardio XT6 BT ist ein echtes Ergometer mit Wattsteuerung von 10 bis 350 W, dessen Widerstand Kinomap und Zwift automatisch regeln. Wenn du als Einsteiger, Senior oder in der Reha allein trainierst, passt er dank tiefem Einstieg und leisem Lauf gut. Der Haken: Die Wattanzeige lag im Test rund 10 % zu hoch, und ein Speicher für mehrere Nutzer fehlt.
Pros
- Drehzahlunabhängige Wattsteuerung von 10 bis 350 W
- Kinomap und Zwift regeln den Widerstand automatisch, ohne Abo
- Tiefer Einstieg erleichtert das Aufsteigen bei steifer Hüfte
- Leiser Lauf mit 40 bis 42 dB im Test
- Runder Tritt bis zur Höchstlast dank 8 kg Schwungmasse
- Sattel in Höhe und Länge verstellbar
Cons
- Wattanzeige im Test 7 bis 11 % zu hoch
- Kein Speicher für mehrere Nutzer, Daten vor jedem Pulsprogramm neu eingeben
- Puls ab Werk nur über Handsensoren, Brustgurt liegt nicht bei
- Lenker nur in der Neigung verstellbar
- Vereinzelt Knackgeräusche beim Treten beschrieben
