This is not just an exercise bike futuristic design, is also innovative in the mechanics, uses a planetary transmission with magnetic resistance to provide an intense workout without losing the fluidity of pedaling.

Although this sounds like out of a movie set in 2100, inspired by the first cycle of the nineteenth century. Thanks to the double transmission each revolution of the pedal corresponds to four rotations of the flywheel : in this way if you cycle at 100 rpm, the flywheel will rotate at 400 rpm.

The flywheel is a ring of 36 "in copper, on it are installed six magnets to generate a magnetic field that allows 12 levels of resistance, controllable with a touchscreen display.
