Resistance systemBraking principle according to the manufacturer: magnetic (contactless, quiet), friction (felt or leather brake on the flywheel) or electromagnetic with motorized adjustment. Manufacturers also call the electromagnetic brake ECB or eddy current brake. If a motor adjusts the resistance – it adapts itself during a workout (auto resistance, auto-follow, control via app) –, this counts as “Electromagnetic (motorized)”, even if the manufacturer only speaks of a magnetic brake; “Magnetic brake” means adjustment via knob or lever.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Das Skandika Indoor Kliva 500-S ist ein Speedbike der Mittelklasse, dessen Motor den ganzen Rahmen neigt, zwischen -10,5 und +9,6 %. Mit Kinomap regelt laut Hersteller die App den Widerstand. Für dich passt es, wenn du gern virtuelle Bergstrecken fährst. Der Haken: breiter Q-Faktor, nur Pedalkörbe, und die Watt sind berechnet. Für exaktes Training nach Watt taugt es deshalb kaum.
Pros
- Motor neigt den ganzen Rahmen zwischen -10,5 und +9,6 %
- Elektromagnetische Bremse mit 32 elektrisch verstellten Stufen
- Kinomap steuert den Widerstand laut Hersteller selbst
- Tasten für Widerstand und Neigung direkt am Rennlenker
- Schwungrad hinten, außerhalb der Tropfzone
- Integrierte Tablethalterung über dem Display
Cons
- Q-Faktor von 20,5 cm sorgt für breitbeinige Haltung
- Wattwerte aus Stufe und Trittfrequenz berechnet, nicht gemessen
- Nur Pedalkörbe, keine Pedale für Klickschuhe
- Lenker nur in der Höhe verstellbar, Sattel in 11 Raststufen
- Kinomap-Vollzugang nur 30 Tage, danach Abo
Der YESOUL G1M Plus ist ein leises Fitness-Bike mit Großbildschirm: Auf den drehbaren 21,5-Zoll-Schirm spiegelst du per Kabel dein Handy, ohne Abo. Magnetbremse und Riemen laufen in Tests nahezu geräuschlos. Den Haken sehen wir beim Training nach Zahlen: Widerstand nur von Hand, keine Wattmessung, und mit 34 kg ist der Rahmen eher leicht für harte Sprints.
Pros
- Drehbarer 21,5-Zoll-Bildschirm in Full HD, auch für Training auf der Matte
- Handy per Kabel spiegeln, kostenlos und ohne Abo-Zwang
- In Tests nahezu geräuschlos dank Magnetbremse und Riemen
- Widerstand in 100 feinen Stufen, in Tests als präzise beschrieben
- Sattel in Höhe und Länge verstellbar, Polsterung in Tests gelobt
- Eingebaute 6-W-Lautsprecher mit klarer Sprachwiedergabe
Cons
- Widerstand nur manuell, Zwift und Kinomap regeln nichts nach
- Keine Wattmessung, Leistung in Apps nur geschätzt
- Mit 34 kg eher leicht, im kräftigen Wiegetritt wenig Reserve
- Haltegriffe nur in der Höhe verstellbar, eng bei langem Oberkörper
- Yesoul-App mit wenigen Trainingsplänen, mehrfach kritisiert
