The David Douillet Bike Rider folding exercise bike is a 2-in-1 bike that combines a traditional bike with a brand new balance system. It allows you to do cardio-type exercise at home, for daily maintenance to take care of your body but also of our health while diversifying the exercises.

Equipped with an LCD screen, an adjustable resistance on 8 levels thanks to its notched wheel, heart rate sensors integrated into the handlebars, pedals with straps, an extra large saddle adjustable in height, a backrest for good back support, a folding system for easy storage, it is perfectly suited to regular practice at home

Unlike standard exercise bikes, this Bike Rider combines the pedaling action with a pulling exercise that can be found for example on the Gymform AB Booster . By combining these 2 exercises, the Bike Rider allows a complete work of the body by soliciting upper limbs and lower limbs while activating the cardiovascular system. It allows cardio-fitness training that works the heart, glutes, thighs and calves but also the arms and abs.

A simple but complete bike

With this device, it is easy to take care of yourself at home to firm up your figure, maintain yourself on a daily basis and keep your health. Its 3 kg flywheel, magnetic braking system and notched wheel with 8 levels of resistance help to train in an evolutionary way and at your own pace. The LCD screen with 7 functions allows you to analyze the performance of the session and the heart rate sensors integrated into the handlebars to keep the course towards the set goal while preserving your cardiovascular health.

BOTTOM LINE

The Bike Rider is a complete exercise bike, comfortable and pleasant to use which contributes to daily maintenance with cardio training. Its clear functions make it possible to monitor its objectives and analyze its performance. Well designed, it is practical and easily stored. The possibility of transforming him into a rider helps to engage the whole body by practicing a healthy exercise at his own pace at home while avoiding falling into a routine.

If the idea is good, he suffers however, some imperfections such as the non-locking pedal system or the resistance adjustment in rider mode. The flywheel is also a bit light for efficient training. It is therefore an interesting concept that deserves to be reworked to offer optimal ergonomics of practice.
