The Power Plate powerBIKE, the world’s first stationary bike with mechanical vibration technology, stimulates active involvement of all the primary cycling muscles, including hamstrings, glutes and quadriceps, while also improving circulation. It’s also great for cardio exercise, to aid weight loss. Your strength and power will improve, your endurance will increase and your times will decrease. It doesn’t get any better than that.
The secret behind the Power Plate powerBIKE is the unique patent-pending pedal and crank system. With every revolution, the technology produces mechanical vibration that generates more muscle activity per stroke to the legs and glutes. Plus, by engaging and disengaging the vibration technology on demand, you can vary your training conditions, replicating an outdoor ride indoors. A challenging mountain course, the cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix or a sprint to the finish can all be simulated with this advanced cycling trainer. You can’t get this on rollers, a trainer or a traditional stationary bike.
The benefits of Acceleration Training™ to increase strength and power by stimulating the body’s response to vibration are already widely acknowledged. By combining our Advanced Vibration Technology™ with the aerobic benefits of cycling, the powerBIKE provides the ultimate training tool for serious cyclists and those looking for accelerated conditioning.
Rabobank, which regularly ranks amongst the top road cycling teams in the UCI World Tour Rankings, has been training with the Power Plate powerBIKE prototypes since December 2010.
