10 Resistance Levels | Ready to Use | Self-Powered for infinite Usage | 160W Max Power

Story

The best workout is the one you can stick with.

To make daily cardio more effortless and professional, we’ve incorporated advanced cycling trainer algorithms into a compact and convenient mini under-desk bike. The DC1 features a real cycling resistance model, designed for professional training, and it doesn’t need to be plugged in—powered solely by your pedaling, so you can exercise anytime, anywhere, even during work breaks.

Regular exercise helps maintain sharp thinking, learning, and decision-making skills as you age, while also controlling weight, reducing risks of depression and anxiety, and improving sleep quality. More importantly, daily light exercise significantly lowers the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. For seniors, daily activity improves bodily function and increases chances of longevity.

According to CDC research, over 25% of Americans do not engage in any physical activity outside of work. Researchers recommend that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. Though 150 minutes may sound daunting, the DC1 under-desk bike helps you make use of any spare moments, allowing you to easily work toward your health goals, even with a busy schedule.

With its low-profile design, the DC1 has a pedal height of just 24cm. It’s ready to use straight out of the box, requiring no installation. It fits easily under your desk, seamlessly blending into your workspace. At under 30dB, the noise is so quiet it won’t interfere with conference calls, making it the perfect office health companion.

The advanced permanent magnet DC motor and worm gear system inside DC1 turn kinetic energy from pedaling into electricity. Your pedaling not only powers the device but also charges the built-in 1000mAh lithium battery, ensuring you can exercise anywhere without being dependent on an outlet.

The 160W motor provides consistent resistance, ensuring that all 10 resistance levels are precise and effective, meeting the needs of users across all age groups for daily exercise.

Ideal for light warm-ups or rehabilitation exercises, similar to a gentle walk, perfect for low-intensity daily workouts.

Suitable for moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, akin to a slow jog, helping improve cardiovascular health and stamina.

Great for higher-intensity aerobic training, simulating light cycling, building muscle endurance and cardiovascular fitness.

The inertia-free design ensures each pedal stroke is smooth and natural. When you stop, the pedal stops instantly, preventing the sudden deceleration and slippage common in traditional flywheel designs. This reduces strain on your knees and ankles, protecting your joints and minimizing the risk of injury.

Our proprietary cycling resistance algorithm uses precise mathematical models and real-time data calculations to simulate outdoor wind resistance and slope changes, providing a smoother, more immersive cycling experience.

The ERG mode uses precise cadence monitoring technology to automatically adjust the resistance based on your pedaling rhythm, ensuring every workout stays at the optimal intensity for efficient results. There’s no need to focus on adjusting resistance—let the DC1 match your rhythm, so you can focus on your work while getting fit.

The DC1 tracks 8 key data points: instant power, average power, cadence, total revolutions, time, calories, virtual speed, and virtual distance. The built-in 2ms per second high-precision Hall sensor captures data at high frequency, ensuring each pedal stroke is recorded accurately. This helps you fine-tune your training plans and achieve your fitness goals with precision.

The DC1 supports ANT+ connectivity and is compatible with popular fitness apps like Zwift and MyWhoosh. With our custom CYCPLUS Fitness app, you can easily set up workouts and sync your data seamlessly. Track your progress, share your daily achievements with family and friends, and stay motivated together. Set joint fitness goals and enjoy the fun of healthy check-ins.
