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 Initial Elliptical 100 ist ein kompakter Einsteiger-Crosstrainer mit klaren Grenzen. Er passt zu kleineren Menschen, die wenig Platz haben und nur locker trainieren wollen. Die offene Bluetooth-Schnittstelle FTMS und die Batterie-Konsole sind echte Pluspunkte. Der Haken liegt bei nur 33 cm Schrittlänge und einem 1,5-kg-Schwungrad. Wer groß ist, mehr als 110 kg wiegt oder oft trainiert, ist mit einem anderen Gerät besser bedient.

Pros

  • Bluetooth FTMS liefert Trainingsdaten an Kinomap und Hersteller-App
  • Batterie-Konsole, keine Steckdose nötig
  • Brustgurt per Bluetooth koppelbar für genaueres Pulstraining
  • Laut Hersteller 5 Jahre Garantie und 10 Jahre Ersatzteile
  • Kleine Stellfläche von 90 x 53 cm, Transportrollen vorn

Cons

  • Nur 33 cm Schrittlänge, für viele Erwachsene trippelig
  • Echtes Schwungrad wiegt nur 1,5 kg
  • Keine Programme, keine Wattsteuerung, Widerstand nur per Drehknopf
  • Freigegeben für höchstens 110 kg und 3 Stunden pro Woche
  • Nicht klappbar

Der UMAY ET70 ist ein klappbarer Einsteiger-Crosstrainer mit manueller Magnetbremse, der in Tests gleichmäßig und leise läuft. Für kleinere Menschen mit wenig Platz und Lust auf lockere Abendeinheiten taugt er. Der Haken: 40 cm Schrittlänge sind knapp, Programme fehlen, und vereinzelt lockern sich Verbindungen früh. Wer groß ist oder nach Plan trainieren will, sollte aus unserer Sicht zu einem anderen Gerät greifen.

Pros

  • Gleichmäßiger, leiser Lauf, auch beim Training am späten Abend
  • Klappbar, aufgebaut nur 125,4 x 59,7 cm Stellfläche
  • Treten vorwärts und rückwärts ohne Umstellung
  • 16 Magnetstufen geben Einsteigern Raum zur Steigerung
  • Weitgehend vormontiert, Montagewerkzeug liegt bei

Cons

  • Schrittlänge von 40 cm für große Menschen zu kurz
  • Keine Programme und keine Wattsteuerung durch manuelle Bremse
  • Puls nur über ungenaue Handsensoren
  • Vereinzelt Wackeln, lockere Verbindungen und gelöste Abdeckungen
  • Eigengewicht und Garantie im Datenblatt nicht angegeben
