Incorporating the latest technology, interactive exercise bikes are specially designed for safety and comfort and are easily adaptable to all age groups. The main point of an interactive exercise bike is to bring an element of science or entertainment to the process of working out. Each workout accelerates the usage of several muscle groups. Apart from the common features of regular exercise bikes, interactive bikes are loaded with numerous interactive workout programs and have special sensors that monitor heart rates. An LCD display will set the workout time and monitor heart performance, fitness level and the amount of calories burned. The speed and resistance of the machine can be controlled, and hand sensors and telemetry chest straps are added features.

Body movements using handgrips or pedaling speed control every action on the screen.
