Now the quality on this Wii version will probably be questionable, it is a cool idea to have it in ones home.

It's just a lot of plastic and some metal, plus a Wii transmitter module. Unlike a real exercise bike, there is no led display. And I assume you can't in anyway adjust the resistance on the pedals.

Plastic isn't expensive and neither is Chinese labor.

I wonder if they were smart enough to design it for a "generously sized" person, rather than the one pictured on the box.


BTW... might get one for my dad. He loves his Wii but only uses it for bowling.]]>Oct 14th 2009 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/bona-fide-exercise-bike-abuses-wiimote-accessory-license-badl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/bona-fide-exercise-bike-abuses-wiimote-accessory-license-badl/Oct 14th 2009 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/bona-fide-exercise-bike-abuses-wiimote-accessory-license-badl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/bona-fide-exercise-bike-abuses-wiimote-accessory-license-badl/
When I was little I rode an exercise bike that was hooked up to a video screen at disney world (epcot?). It was pretty sweet. I think this could be a legitimately fun way to ride the bike. Quality control is another issue, but most buyers will use this less than 20 times, sadly.

Personally, I think you could make a lot of money by hooking a pedometer style device to the pedal of any elliptical or stationary bike or stair climber, and have that work with a $50 machine that plugged into your TV for some basically fun exercise game. You could calibrate it based on the calories your machine claimed you were burning.

but this is likely to be more profitable.]]>Oct 14th 2009 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/bona-fide-exercise-bike-abuses-wiimote-accessory-license-badl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/bona-fide-exercise-bike-abuses-wiimote-accessory-license-badl/

Maybe with this device, the effort corresponding to steepness of a hill, could be set from the Wii but then you would also want gears to compensate, but then it all gets too complicated, so I doubt it.
