About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

Overall, the exercise bike gives the impression of a functional and well-designed device for regular endurance training.

First impression

Packaging and contents

Here, we take a closer look at the packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course be ensured. Is the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

When unpacking, it is immediately apparent that some parts are neatly and securely stowed away. Individual components are protected by Styrofoam and plastic film, which should prevent damage during transport. However, this protection is missing in important areas of the product. The instructions are clearly visible and explain the assembly step by step. Screws and small parts are packed separately, which makes assembly easy to follow. Even at first glance, the individual parts give the impression of solid quality. The box appears sturdy and can be opened easily without having to improvise. Overall, the packaging conveys a sense of care and professionalism that inspires confidence in the product. Unfortunately, however, the device is not adequately protected, weighing in at 16.5 kg.

The frame appears robust and stands securely on the floor thanks to its wide feet. Height-adjustable stabilizers compensate for small unevenness, providing additional stability. The paint finish is even and scratch-resistant, giving the device an attractive appearance. The controls on the computer are clearly structured and intuitive to use. The saddle is adjustable and offers various height options to accommodate different body sizes. Pedals with non-slip material increase comfort during training. Overall, the appearance conveys a mixture of sporty simplicity and functional elegance that fits well into modern living spaces.
