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

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

Das Schwinn 590R ist ein komfortables Liegeergometer mit App-Anschluss: Es trägt laut Hersteller 150 kg und verbindet sich per offenem Bluetooth FTMS mit Zwift und anderen Apps. Für ruhiges, regelmäßiges Training bei Rücken- oder Gelenkproblemen halten wir es für eine gute Wahl. Die Haken: Es braucht samt Freiraum rund 2,3 x 1,3 m Platz, und Zwift wie JRNY kosten jeweils ein eigenes Abo.

Pros

  • Volles Bluetooth FTMS für Zwift, JRNY und weitere Trainings-Apps
  • Belastbar bis 150 kg laut Hersteller, mehr als die Schwestermodelle
  • Motorisch verstellte Magnetbremse mit 25 Stufen und 13 Programmen
  • Lehne mit Lendenstütze und seitliche Griffe für einen leichten Einstieg
  • 48,8 kg Eigengewicht und Justierfüße für einen festen Stand
  • Konsole läuft auch ganz ohne App-Abo

Cons

  • JRNY im vollen Umfang und Zwift nur mit kostenpflichtigem Abo
  • Braucht samt Freiraum rund 2,3 x 1,3 m und eine Steckdose
  • Brustgurt nicht im Lieferumfang, keine Handsensoren

Das Skandika P14 Comfort ist ein bequemes Liegeergometer für moderates Training, das mit hoher Rückenlehne, dick gepolstertem Sitz und tiefem Einstieg vor allem Ältere und Menschen in der Reha anspricht. Die motorische Magnetbremse regelt in 32 feinen Stufen und läuft leise. Der Haken: Für das Pulsprogramm brauchst du einen separat erhältlichen Brustgurt, und das Gerät beansprucht rund 165 x 70 cm Stellfläche.

Pros

  • Hohe Rückenlehne und 9 cm dick gepolsterter Sitz entlasten Rücken und Gelenke
  • Tiefer Einstieg mit Griff am Sitz erleichtert Hinsetzen und Aufstehen
  • 32 motorisch verstellte Stufen für sanftes bis forderndes Training
  • Leiser Lauf durch Riemenantrieb und berührungslose Magnetbremse
  • Belastbar bis 150 kg laut Hersteller
  • 30 Programme, Wattmodus und pulsgesteuertes Programm

Cons

  • Brustgurt für Pulsprogramm nicht im Lieferumfang

  • Stellfläche von rund 165 x 70 cm und zeitintensiver Aufbau
