The Stromvelo is designed for energy conservation and fitness. It is a spinning cycle which utilises the energy produced by the rider, which normally is transformed into heat) and transformes into electricity.

The Stromvelo is equipped with a hightech Lithium battery to store energy and through the integrated 230V power socket, any household appliance can be plugged in. The power which is required by an appliance is directly felt by the rider, therefore offering an "appliance-resistance" training program, which at the same time educates the rider about energy consumption.
