Pedalling

Stiftung Warentest tested eleven bicycle trainers with power displays (prices: 400 to 1 500 euros), two of which are recumbent bikes. Almost all of the machines are suitable for endurance training at home. However, the testers found harmful substances in the handles of six of the machines. Four exercise bikes received the grade "poor". The testers found substances whose production and use has been banned in Europe for years.
