Innovative Stepwing Bike

A bicycle parts maker with more than over 40 years of experience, Hsin Lung Accessories Co., Ltd. (Brizon brand) recently introduced an innovative product, which may be thought of as a vastly improved "side stepper" or "stepper exerciser" to also offer the advantages of a bicycle.

The product is also an upgraded version of its earlier Scooter Bike with two steppers that work similarly as pedals on a bicycle to offer the merits of cycling but at lower center of gravity for greater safety. Anyone can easily pedal the Stepwing Bike as a low-slung bicycle to derive training benefits of fun-filled fitness equipment. It is an "outdoor gym" without membership fees. The maker says the product offers increased diversity of outdoor activities, with enhanced fun factor to encourage participation by youngsters as well as adults to build healthier and happier lifestyle.

The Stepwing Bike offers a new way to benefit from proven fitness effects of cycling except with extra advantages. A rider stands up on the Stepwing Bike to pedal on the two platforms or footrests while steering the bike as a traditional bicycle. 

Is it a bicycle? Think of it as taking the gym outside, says the company. The technique is amazingly natural, easy and fun, involving a full range of motions to work the major muscle groups such as thighs, calves, gluteals, torso and arms, as well as stimulating joint movement. The combination of a low-impact stepping motion and standing posture is more gentle on especially the spine, which undergoes relatively more stress from being bent due to sitting on a traditional bicycle. Also one does not experience sore bottom as is the case with traditional cycling. 

Brizon announced a study the "Electromyography Analysis of Riding The Innovative Stepwing Bike" that concludes stepping the pedals up and down across the full range of motion employs more motor units in the biceps, femoris and soleus, to offer strengthening exercise for the muscle groups. In addition, the knee joint sustains less loading during the up-and-down stepping motions relative to traditional cycling.
