speediance velonix test smart bike for the living room ProsCons...
The Speediance VeloNix impresses with its elegant design, powerful technology and realistic riding experience. The electric direct drive delivers up to 2,300 watts of power and simulates riding very naturally – even if the bike feels a little wobbly during intensive standing sections. The design, workmanship and comfort are top-notch, and use with normal sports shoes is particularly practical. The large 21.5-inch display with streaming apps such as Netflix or YouTube provides the best entertainment. The connection to services such as Strava, Zwift or Apple Health rounds off the package.
