A WORD FROM CONCEPT2 ON HOW THE BIKEERG DIFFERS FROM A "SPINNING BIKE"

• A "spinning bike" typically has a heavy flywheel with an adjustable (friction) brake. Once you adjust the brake, the resistance will be the same at any pedal cadence. This means you can set a low resistance and pedal at a high cadence or set a high resistance and feel that high pedal force even at low cadence.
• The BikeErg has a flywheel with fan blades, which cause increasing air resistance as the wheel spins faster and as the damper allows more air to circulate .The resistance you feel on the BikeErg is a function of your cadence. Simply increasing your cadence will also increase the resistance, similar to a road bike. Adjusting airflow to the fan will change the resistance you feel at a given cadence. Airflow is controlled by a simple damper lever on the fan enclosure. The result is much like changing the gearing.
• On the BikeErg, the damper is your “gearing”. Use a damper setting that helps you achieve your power and cadence goals. Higher power will be required to achieve a target cadence with the damper open (in the higher numbers). Decrease the power required by closing the damper (lower damper numbers).
