Is walking healthier or cycling? Cycling or walking? Good news. Now you no longer have to choose, because the Lopifit is a bicycle that you move on by walking. And that is not all. The bike is also electric, so you can move forward extra quickly.
Imagine, as you walk, you whiz along the bike path or along the side of the roadway. You almost seem to have superpowers, because as you slowly take step by step, the landscape shoots past you. A unique experience, which makes this bike very popular to rent. But would it be nice to do this every day? Probably not for everyone, but a growing number of users are wild with enthusiasm about the first electric balance bike in the world.
The strong battery of 960 Wh and a Bafang motor of 250 W give this balance bike of around 2600 euros a speed of around 25 km/h. You can cover distances of 50-70 km without having to recharge. Unlike a regular electric bicycle, for example from Batavus, you will have a problem with this bicycle if the battery is empty. Because almost all power is supplied by the battery, not by the cyclist.
Electric balance bike Lopifit unique in the world
The electric balance bike Lopifit is, like the manufacturer rightly says, a unique mode of transport. There is no second bike like this available in the world yet. The bicycle consists of a treadmill instead of pedals, with an electric motor. This allows you to propel the bicycle by walking slowly.
The Lopifit is ideal if you want to walk to work but still want to hurry. Because you can prepare speeds of up to 25 km/h with this. Of course you can’t achieve that with a walk, unless your name is Usain Bolt. But thanks to the balance bike you can literally walk to work. And that is also nice of course. If you’re busy for the gym, this electric balance bike is really a godsend. And do you think your attention is lacking? You are guaranteed to get a lot of attention when you travel through city traffic with this special bike.
Electric balance bike Lopifit useful for people with physical complaints
Many people with physical complaints, who are therefore unable or difficult to cycle, are often very happy with a balance bike. Because this puts less strain on certain joints. That can make the difference between having to sit at home and still be able to move around. This also gives people with a physical disability extra exercise. In short, quite a handy invention.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer of the balance bike Lopifit has also been hit by a shortage of electrical parts and bicycle parts. As a result, it can take a while if you order a balance bike before it is delivered.
Standing cycling is not good for everyone
Of course there are also disadvantages to the Lopifit. This is how you should stand while you are “cycling”. Sitting quietly on your saddle is not an option, because there is no saddle. So this bike is really especially suitable for knitters, who like long walks. In that respect, nothing beats a Gazelle when it comes to driving comfort. Or a Kalkhoff, of course. And if you want to hurry, you will of course be very happy with a mile-consuming speed pedelec from Stromer or another leading brand. That said, the Lopifit balance bike is of course a unique bike, and if you really enjoy walking, you should definitely not pass up this bike.
