Outdoor Cardio Pedal Unit with Braking System

This outdoor cardio pedal unit is a compact seated pedalling device fitted with an immediate braking system, measuring 20 x 38 x 38.8 cm and weighing approximately 4 kg. It is intended for users from 140 cm in height, and its light weight means it can be positioned and repositioned without plant. Light In Fitness supplies it at 980 EUR excluding VAT.

Pedalling as an outdoor cardio option

Seated pedalling is the least intimidating form of cardiovascular exercise there is. There is no balance requirement, no impact through the knee and ankle, and no technique to learn, which is why it is the movement specified first for intergenerational trails, care settings and holiday accommodation where the users are not athletes. Fitting a pedal unit within a wooden fitness trail extends that trail’s reach to people who will walk it but will not attempt a climbing or suspension apparatus, and it does so without adding a large structure to the plan.

• Seated pedalling for cardiovascular conditioning
• Immediate braking system to prevent uncontrolled rotation
• Recommended for young people and adults from 140 cm
• Approximately 4 kg, easily transported and positioned
• Part of the wooden fitness trail range

The braking system is the specification that matters

On an unsupervised outdoor site, a freely spinning crank is a hazard rather than a feature: it keeps turning after the user stops, and a second user reaching in can be struck by a pedal. The immediate braking arrangement on this unit stops rotation as soon as the user disengages, which is the difference between a device that can be left in open access and one that requires supervision. It is worth checking this specification against any comparable product before it is written into a schedule.

Specification

Frequently asked questions

Who is it intended for?

Young people and adults from 140 cm in height. As with any cardiovascular equipment placed in open access, users with existing health conditions should take medical advice before beginning, and the instruction panel accompanying the installation should say so.

Can it be moved after installation?

At around 4 kg the unit itself is light enough to be handled by one person, which makes it straightforward to reposition during a site layout or to remove for maintenance. Fixing arrangements on the finished installation should be confirmed at design stage against the intended siting.

How does it fit into a wooden fitness trail?

As the low-intensity cardio position on a route otherwise composed of climbing, balance and bodyweight stations. Trails made up only of demanding apparatus lose the users who most need them, and a pedal position at the start or midpoint of a circuit gives everyone a station they can complete.
