Deskbike Green/Black

An ode to the Deskbike

On your bike to... to work

Always the same nagging with those cyclists. They are literally everywhere and won't move for anyone. On the road, on the pavement, at my desk, in the meeting room. I even saw one in the lift recently. They're mad.

Why the Deskbike?

Moving at work

Cycling is healthy. We are cycling more and more. In addition to the city bike, e-bike, MTB, e-MTB and numerous other versions, there is also the Deskbike. A bike for under your desk!

Most current workplaces are perfectly suited for it: the desk bike. Thanks to the widely used electric sit-stand desks, you can now easily raise the desk for the Deskbike. Because simply standing still - as we now know - is certainly not enough to get your daily dose of exercise.

Active working posture

You are probably already working on an active working posture, especially when you spend long days in the office. Alternating between sitting and standing, taking the stairs, getting drinks for colleagues. With the Deskbike, you can add a new dimension that truly provides movement.

While cycling, you can immediately see your heart rate increase. Where I make about 50-60 beats per minute sitting down, I increase that to about 70-80 with very gentle cycling on the Deskbike. Are you wearing a jumper? Then make sure you have a t-shirt underneath so you don't get too warm.

Different versions

The Deskbike is available in different versions and colours. Here are the versions regarding sizing:

You can also choose from numerous colours, which are shown above. Please note: not every colour is available in sizes S, M and L.

Adjustable resistance

You can determine the resistance yourself with the rotary knob on the Deskbike. The knob is quite easy to operate from a sitting position. The lightest setting rotates wonderfully smoothly, the heaviest setting really provides a lot of counter-pressure. From the lightest setting, the knob turns about 7 times until it reaches the heaviest setting, so don't be afraid to turn it vigorously.

What makes Deskbike so good?

The Deskbike really puts the body to work and it can be sustained for a longer period. In an office job, you often can't walk around enough to get your daily dose of exercise. With a desk bike, this is a thing of the past.

Get the most out of your Deskbike

Vary regularly

Varying your posture is not only good for you, but also pleasant. In the case of the Deskbike, we advise cycling for a maximum of 30 minutes. The relatively large comfort saddle can eventually become somewhat irritating and give a sleepy feeling to the bottom. As soon as you feel that, it's better to switch to sitting or standing.

Storage and use

The Deskbike can be folded for storage. You do this with the locking pin in the frame. Unfolded, it is about 89 cm deep, folded only 33 cm. So it never gets hugely in the way if you want to sit or stand. Thanks to the 4 wheels under the Deskbike, it is also mobile, and you never have to lift the 15 kg bike. The wheels are also nice while cycling, as you can easily find a good position relative to your desk with them.

Don't miss this either

Also definitely suitable for sports enthusiasts

The Deskbike will certainly not offer you a sporty experience like a Wahoo Kickr or Taxc bike trainer can. You don't have the stability of handlebars, and the resistance cannot be replicated. Nevertheless, you can use the Deskbike for your sporting ambitions.

Do you exercise before or after work? Then with a bike under your desk, you can perfectly warm up or cool down. Before training, you can warm up nicely and already increase your heart rate. After strenuous exercise, it's perfect to get your legs working at a low intensity.

Assembly of your Deskbike

You will receive the Deskbike unassembled. With the help of the assembly video next to this and the manual that you can find under the 'downloads' heading, it is quite easy to assemble it.
