Ciclotte is an innovative exercise bike, designed and Made in Italy that combines idea, form and technology rethinking the traditional aesthetic and functional values of an exercise bike. Ciclotte has been manufactured using materials like carbon, steel and glass fibres and represents an innovation in the fitness sector thanks to the technology of the epicycloids transmission system. Designed by Luca Schieppati, a young designer from Milan, and manufactured by the Lamiflex Group in Bergamo, Ciclotte breaks the rules of gym equipment’s design that have always emphasized only functional aspects, to address a target market of progressive, dynamic users that appreciate both physical and aesthetic lines. Ciclotte’s concept was created from the need to introduce design into everyday living, a real expression of contemporary living where work and relaxation, exercise and entertainment share a single dimension, within fluid spaces where all objects can interact with each other.
Thanks to its essential lines, inspired by ergonomics, Ciclotte is a fitness tool and a furniture complement that can be integrated into the most varied living contexts: home, office, gym and outdoors. From a technical viewpoint, Ciclotte has been designed to faithfully reproduce the dynamics and performance of on-road cycling, and it is also ideal for high intensity aerobic training like spinning. Ciclotte is the evolution of the project Ciclò, an innovative prototype of a single wheel city bike, now part of Triennale Design Museum permanent collection in Milan after having participated in various international exhibitions.
