Fitness bike is popular indoor fitness equipment. According to different occasions, it can be divided into commercial fitness bikes and home fitness bikes. So, in addition to the different occasions, do they have other differences? When shopping, which one is more suitable?
Commercial fitness bikes are different from home fitness cycle bikes in terms of appearance, configuration, functionality, and lifespan. The specific differences are listed as follows:
- Most home fitness bikes are magnetically controlled, while most commercial fitness bikes are flywheel-type.
- The power supply system of home fitness cycle bikes generally uses DC motors, while commercial ones use AC. From the perspective of continuous operation, the motor of a home fitness bike cannot perform continuous high-intensity operation like a commercial fitness cycle bike.
- There is also a big difference in size between the two. For example, the length of a home fitness bike is generally about 1.8 meters, while the length of a commercial fitness bike can generally reach 2.1 meters.
- The two also differ in horsepower. The horsepower of the motor of a home fitness cycle bike is lower than that of a commercial one. The horsepower of a home fitness bike is generally less than 2HP, while the horsepower of a commercial fitness bike is generally greater than 3HP. In addition, home fitness cycle bikes do not require frequency converters, and the size of the lifting motor is much smaller.
- In terms of function, the two are also different. The control panel of a home fitness exercise bike has fewer functions than a commercial one, and its performance is far less professional than that of a commercial fitness bike.
- The warranty period of the two is naturally different. The warranty period of the home fitness bike is shorter than that of the commercial one.
The points stated above are the main differences between commercial fitness bikes and home fitness bikes. For consumers, whether to buy a fitness bike for commercial use or home use is mainly determined by the financial ability of the consumer. Commercial fitness cycle bikes have complete functions, better quality, and better fitness effects. Naturally, its price is higher than that of home fitness bikes.
If you have a good financial ability, buying a commercial fitness bike is naturally much better. If it is considered from the perspective of economic benefits, the home fitness bike is enough to meet the fitness needs of ordinary consumers.
