The Exerpeutic 2000 is one of the most popular brands of recumbent bikes in the market. It’s an ideal choice of spinner if you’re on the lookout for a bike that gives you the luxury to exercise in comfort.
The bike comes with an inimitable Air Soft seat, aerodynamically designed to absorb shock and disperse your weight. Around the sides of the seat there’s a soft PVC weave cushion and high tech honey comb mesh for offering maximum air flow and support.
Flywheel, Crank and Pedals
The bike arrives with a standard precision-balanced flywheel spotting a V-belt drive that goes a long way to ensure you have all the quietness you need while pedalling. You can also multi-task while riding as there is no noise to distract you.
This is a common feature in almost all the recumbent bikes that utilize the crank and drive system. The only difference is on how the parts are integrated and on the durability associated with Exerpeutic bikes.
Tension Resistance
The bike has eight resistance levels to choose from. This is enough to ensure you make the best out of your work out.
Unlike its predecessor, Exerpeutic 900XL, the bike allows you to control the resistance right from the console. This makes it even more convenient as you don’t have to reach for the adjustment knob and twist it.
Although it still uses magnetic resistance, the resistance offered is NOT in any way weak. You don’t have to set it to max to get enough resistance.
Readouts and Display Types
You can check your workout data from the LCD console. The only limitation is that the display offered is NOT backlit. You can’t see the screen when it’s dark; you’ll be required to turn on the light to see the screen.
The number displayed are large enough to make it easy for you to read the console. You’ll still be able to see it even when you’re fully leaning on your back rest.
Console Functions
The console arrives with several functions you can use, including:
i… The Scan Function
This function allows the computer to scan every function recorded on the bike in sequence. It refreshes after every 6 seconds.
ii… Speed Function
This displays the speed of your current work out. It features a split window which displays both the speed and RPM, both of which refresh after every 6 seconds.
iii… Time Function
This shows your elapsed cycling time in both minutes and seconds. It also allows you to set a time goal that the clock will be counting down until you beat it.
Heart Rate Monitor
The bike’s heart rate monitor utilizes unique sensors placed on the handrails on the front seat. Place your arms on the armrest and the machine will automatically start monitoring your heart rate.
This feature is meant to make your work out even more interesting. By selecting a suitable heart rate zone, you can adjust the way you work out and strengthen your heart as well.

The Wrap Up
