A new technology advanced workout work out bike is taking exercising to a whole new level. The new Ergo Bike Premium 8i was recently presented by German company Daum Electronics. By using it you can compete against riders from around the world through an Internet connection. Users will be able to compete in some of cycling’s most important race courses. All the riders can gather at one point in time and then start the race.

The whole system is like a social network because the bike has special sensors and processors, will monitor your speed, distance, rate and watts and all this info will be broadcast to the other riders in the race. Users can even watch the others through video streams or speak by using VoIP headsets. The idea behind the entire concept stands in the fact that a stationary bike is very boring in most cases. By using the Ergo Bike Premium 8i you get motivated by seeing the other guy’s stats. Thousands of such bikes have already been sold in South Africa and Europe but only 20 arrived to the US. Things are about to change as InBikeSF recently started importing them and marketing them.

This bike is just one of the currently expanding range of high technology that is attacking fitness. It is true that obesity has reached all time highs but it is also a fact that many middle-aged people are actively competing in endurance sports, more than ever before. Different companies are trying to cash in on the wish that people have to exercise. Losing weight through regular methods is becoming boring and this is why such devices like the Ergo Bike Premium 8i might just help out.
