Velotron is a computer controlled, precision electronic bicycle ergometer/trainer of a proprietary new design. It's mechanical design provides the highest laboratory grade accuracy and repeatability, the widest load range of any commercially available electronic ergometer, high durability/low maintenance, and an authentic road feel that closely simulates riding outdoors. The system uses an innovative patented eddy current brake built around a heavy (55lb), large diameter flywheel with an internal freewheel. It uses a fixed ratio, high efficiency chain drive. Shifting is accomplished electronically with "virtual" gearing.
Velotron is widely used in universities, sports science labs, and bicycle coaching/testing centers, often in conjunction with the optional Wingate Test software. Velotron's ultra-low starting load of 5 Watts is advantageous for rehab, cardio, pulmonary and orthopaedic applications. Because of its superior accuracy Velotron is the only bicycle ergometer approved for use in the USA Cycling National Talent Search.
Applications:
Personal Ergometer -
Sports Science -
Health Clubs -
Medical Rehabilitation
Controlled by Windows based software running on a separate laptop or desktop PC, the software has two separate and distinct functional modes: Ergometer mode and Bicycle Simulation mode which includes the effects of wind resistance, rider weight, rider aerodynamic drag factor, road grade, speed, acceleration and inertia.

| FEATURES: |
| |
 |
| Velotron creates loads from 5 to 2000 watts which covers the entire range of human capability. Accuracy is +/- 1.5% of reading across the entire load range. Repeatability of +/- 0.2 % or better. This level of accuracy/repeatability meets or exceeds that of competitive laboratory bicycle ergometers costing $10,000 to $20,000. The system’s negligible internal friction makes possible a lower load limit of 5 Watts which sets a new minimum limit for electronic bicycle ergometers. |
|
|
 |
| Velotron
is dynamometer calibrated and by design does not
require recalibration like ergometers based on
strain gauges which drift over time. |
 |
 |
| Unique
to Velotron, the AccuWattTM calibration checking
procedure (patent pending) quickly compares
present performance to the original factory
performance to verify that no change has
occurred. |
|
 |
| Large
diameter, 55 lb. flywheel with free-wheel
provides an exceptionally realistic bike-like
ride including coasting downhill. No knee strain
during deceleration as with "spinning bikes". |
|
 |
| Velotron
uses a fixed ratio chain drive. Shifting is done
electronically from the handlebar controller or
PC keyboard. The rider can set "virtual" gears
to mimic the chain ring/rear cluster
combinations on a bicycle. |
|
 |
| Velotron
is controlled by system software which runs on
Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and XP laptop and
desktop computers. The software has two distinct
functional modes: Ergometer mode and Bicycle
simulation mode. Watts, cadence, heartrate,
speed, distance, time and calories are displayed
and recorded for instantaneous, average and peak
values. SpinScanTM pedal stroke analysis
measures biomechanical efficiency. Features
include programmable workload protocols,
motivational 3D bike courses, two-person races,
recordable performances, course creation either
manually or with optional Topo USA Course
Creator
topographical software. |
