Statement of Purpose:
The U-Cycle replicates the sensation of riding a road bike. Its biomechanics and ergonomic design offer a variety of positions to
improve rider comfort and allows its users to achieve peak performance. Use it as a standard cycle, city cycle or racing cycle to tone
legs and gluteal muscles. The cycle is designed to reduce pressure on the knees and provide a comfortable ride, while also keeping
exercisers engaged.
The R-Cycle is quiet and stable, delivers a smooth workout whilst offering details such as custom-designed, multi-position handlebars
with integrated touch-heartrate, resistance controls and comfortable elbow supports. A single-handed seat adjustment with a
ergonomically designed contoured seat. Even details like pedals that self-level have been thought about! It’s the perfect solution for
active adults suffering from back pain, restricted movement or limited mobility who want moderate cardiovascular activity but need
additional comfort. It is particularly suitable for older adults and for those who have weight issues.
