Frequently Asked Questions
Exercise bikes come in several types, each designed for different workout styles:
- Spin bikes (indoor cycling): Designed to mimic outdoor cycling with a heavy flywheel, aggressive riding position, and high-intensity workouts. Ideal for cardio and interval training.
- Upright bikes: Similar to traditional bicycles with an upright seating position. Good for general fitness and low-impact cardio workouts.
- Recumbent bikes: Feature a reclined seating position with back support and pedals in front. Best for users with back issues or those seeking a comfortable, low-impact workout.
- Air bikes: Use a fan for resistance that increases with effort. Great for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and full-body workouts.
The flywheel is the weighted disc that creates momentum and resistance on the bike. A heavier flywheel (typically 15-50 lbs) provides smoother pedaling, better momentum, and a more realistic road-like feel. Lighter flywheels (under 15 lbs) may feel choppy at high speeds but are often found on more affordable models. For spin bikes, a heavier flywheel is generally preferred for a more authentic cycling experience.
