Cycle ergometer Christopeit Eco 1000

The Christopeit ECO 1000 generates its own energy, so it operates without external electricity or batteries. The stored electricity can be supplied through the computer’s USB port, for example, to charge a smartphone or tablet during a workout.

The ergometer has a wear-resistant magnetic braking system weighing approximately 10 kg and a quiet flat belt drive. Resistance is precisely adjusted by computer across 24 levels.

The computer’s backlit LCD screen displays 7 values at a time. Clear control buttons make it easy to use. Choose from 12 preset training programmes and four heart rate-controlled programmes. You can also create five personal training programmes. The rotation-independent wattage programme enables targeted, consistent resistance training at a freely selectable frequency. After training, the fitness test function evaluates your result according to a rating scale.

Hand pulse sensors in the handlebars allow you to monitor your heart rate during training. A heart rate monitor can also be used: the computer has a built-in receiver compatible with non-branded heart rate monitors operating at a transmission frequency of 5.0–5.5 kHz. The comfortable saddle can be adjusted horizontally, vertically and for tilt. Non-slip pedals with safety straps help keep your feet stable. Front wheels make the ergometer easier to move, while adjustable footrests keep it stable.

The ECO 1000 also supports Kinomap, which enables interactive workouts with Android or iOS devices and allows you to record workout data. After the free trial period, the Kinomap app is available for a monthly fee.
