Expresso engages the rider’s mind and
makes exercise efficient, fun and exciting. It utilizes a power of rider’s mind
unlike a common approach of combining a cardio equipment and entertainment unit
to kill time hiding during boring cardio workout.
Riders instinctively
pedal harder when they see virtual riders in front of them or passing them,
naturally making every ride a good workout. A chock-full of virtual riders
appear on all tours. Expresso Pacer can be personalized at the right level for
each rider, so that riders can set an immediate goal on every ride. Expresso
Ghost appears on any complete tour after a rider makes an Expresso ID on a
bike, making a daunting task of improving fitness level into an exciting race
against yourself. It is hard not to push hard on Expresso.
Expresso satisfies all levels of riders. It offers
over 30 tours, ranging from Basic to Extreme, and games from 5-min to 30-min.
It support 30 levels of shift-gear. Pacer and Ghost riders set each ride
session at the right level for every rider. It offers upright, youth, and
recumbent models.
