ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an ergometric stationary bicycle apparatus which is suitable for training, rehabilitation and diagnostic purposes. The apparatus comprises a base member, a pedal unit arranged on the base and including a hub which is rotatable about a pedal unit axis, and a carrier element connected to the base such that it can pivot relative to the base about an axis parallel to the pedal unit axis. The apparatus also includes a seat unit pivotally connected to the carrier element such that the seat unit and the carrier element may be selectively adjusted into different pivot positions. The pivot axis of the carrier element is disposed proximate the pedal unit axis so that the average distance between the seat surface and the pedal unit axis is essentially equal in the different pivot positions of the carrier element.
