Velotron is a computer controlled, precision electronic bicycle ergometer of a proprietary new design (patent pending) with associated interactive Windows PC software. The design uses an innovative 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 bicycle "virtual" gearing. The Velotron's mechanical design provides laboratory grade accuracy, the widest load range of any commercially available electronic ergometer, high durability/low maintenance, and an authentic road feel that closely simulates riding outdoors.

This combination of outstanding technical performance and realistic bike simulation qualifies the Velotron for a variety of applications in sports science, health/fitness clubs, medical rehabilitation, personal training, etc. It's low starting power of only 5 Watts also makes it a good candidate for cardio, pulmonary, and orthopaedic rehab applications.
