Performances
Performances of a bike depends on the power produced by the rider and friction of the design of the bike.
Friction of Aviroute and regular bikes are almost the same but the power developped by the rider isn't the same !
Power developped by the rider on regular bikes is only produced by the leg muscles,
power developped by the rower on an aviroute is produced by legs, back and arms !
More muscles, more power, more speed !
|
Maximum power |
Rowing motion |
500 W |
Pedaling motion |
400 W |
Warning ! More power generated induces higher heart beat : You can go much faster than a bike with an Aviroute but not for a long time because of your heart capacities !
On a regular bike the weakest link is the leg muscles, on a rowing bike the weakest link is the heart capacity.
