What distinguishes ergometers from conventional exercise bikes is their electronically controlled pedal resistance and precise output measurements. According to German and European standard DIN EN 957-1/5, ergometer bikes must measure performance in watts, whereas conventional exercise bikes indicate only the level of resistance. Because of strict precision requirements, ergometer bikes are well suited to the demands of physical therapy. Recent product ratings of the Stiftung Warentest: In its January 2003 issue, the Stiftung Warentest reported the results of trials performed in the categories of ergometer bikes, elliptical cross-trainers, as well as elliptical-ergometers (elliptical cross-trainers with exact watt-output reading). The winner in the category "ergomete View the rest of this article
