Exercise bikes - what to look for?
When deciding to buy an exercise bike, you should be aware of several important issues. First of all, you need to realize that there are different types of fitness equipment on the market. The most popular ones include:

- Upright bikes (our standard equipment for seated training),.

- Recumbent bikes (with comfortable seats and backrests, designed for people with spinal problems), and

- cycling (reproduces the same movement as a real field ride - cycling is designed to provide cyclists with specialized endurance training).

The choice between specific types should take into account our level of progress in training and the capacity of our body.

Once we have chosen the right type of exercise bike, we must consider the construction of the particular model. the product range of the Hop-Sport sports store includes fitness equipment with a wide range of technical parameters and a number of interesting solutions. The basic features to look for when choosing an exercise bike include:

- the braking system (mechanical, magnetic, electromagnetic).

- functional accessories that offer additional training possibilities (pedals with protection, training computers, Bluetooth modules that allow you to pair the device with a training application), the

- additional gadgets for ease of use (handles, transportation wheels, USB ports, air vents).

The simplest designs are mechanical exercise bikes. They don't have a lot of extras, but they are very simple to operate. They have mechanical brakes and resistance systems that can be replaced in case of failure. Also, mechanical bikes are very affordable and the bikes themselves, although simply constructed, allow you to take good care of your fitness.

Magnetic and electromagnetic exercise bikes are much more complex . For their part, we're dealing with fitness equipment filled with many additional options and features . The resistance and braking system is based on the action of magnets or electromagnets that move closer to and further away from the flywheel, generating a magnetic field that creates resistance. The closer the magnet is to the wheel, the greater the resistance. Thanks to this operating system, magnetic bikes are extremely quiet and easy to adjust.

Electromagnetic and magnetic exercise bikes are slightly larger in size. Before buying, you should consider whether you have enough space for this type of exercise equipment. They ride very similarly to classic bicycles, so the training is just as effective and certainly more comfortable.

Which exercise bike is suitable for beginners?
When you're starting out with physical activity, it's a good decision to buy an exercise bike that will help you burn off excess pounds quickly and enhance your physical performance in the comfort of your own home. For beginners who have just started training on an exercise bike, it pays to choose equipment that is easy to use and offers comfortable training conditions. Mechanical exercise bikes may be a good choice due to their simple construction and use, but training on them is not as smooth as on electromagnetic bikes or bikes with magnetic mechanisms. Another problem is the additional facilities and parameters of the training computer. For a beginner's exercise bike, it seems unnecessary to invest in models with advanced measurement parameters.
