- Electromagnetic brake performance and watts: the resistance is created by the brakes;
the variation of resistance is much more precise than the exercise bike, have a high level of precision
data set, it is also possible to have performance in watts.

- Ergometers dependent speed: only indicate performance in watts of training in progress.

- Ergometers independent of the number of laps: these Ergometers can preselect
