Cycling keeps you physically and mentally healthy. At-home exercise bikes are one of the most common fitness accessories for this purpose – they offer an excellent cardio workout, burn plenty of calories, and help users maintain fit without having to go all the way to the gym. However, most people can’t fit a typical workout machine in their tight living spaces. The Breakaway Bike solves that problem with its incredibly compact, no-frills design that folds up to the size of a carry-on bag.
The bike is made from aerospace-grade aluminum. When adequately packed down, it measures only 16 x 23 x 8-inches and weighs an impressive 35 pounds! The creators claim it’s the world’s first exercise bike that can be conveniently folded down into a carry-on bag. You can pick it up and store it away under a bed, in a closet, or under a table until it’s time to burn those calories!
If you need a break away from home, you can load the bike in an overhead bin of a bus or the trunk of your car to be carried anywhere you desire, whether it’s a job transfer, an excursion, or you just want to set up in front of a pond at a park.
While the Breakaway Bike may come in a small size, the creators claim it’s more than sturdy enough to support an intense workout. When your ready to exercise, pull it out of storage, open its four legs, adjust the seat height and handlebars, set the belt-driven flywheel to your desired resistance, and start cycling!
The bike features a power meter that keeps track of power output during your exercise and a Bluetooth module to connect with mobile devices, allowing you to track your workout in training apps such as Apple Health, Strava, TrainerRoad, and Zwift too, along with their Breakaway app. Should you be interested, Breakaway Industries is currently running an Indiegogo campaign for the Breakaway Bike.
Another impressive at-home exercise machine is ‘Fitwork’ – an office chair lets you work and work out simultaneously.
