The Re:Source Fitness visCycle makes generating electricity during a workout easy. Re:Source Fitness exercising equipment is already set up with 'plugOutt' technology that ports into existing three-prong grounded outlets and eliminates the need for inverters and special installations.
The visElliptical and visBike will join the Re:Source Fitness visCycle to be available for October 2010. Touchscreens on the units will let users see their metrics and electricity generation in real-time.
Implications - You can generate energy for your own home with these awesome eco bikes as long as you have a net metering agreement with your energy provider. You will get an "energy credit" from your cycling and therefore your bill will drop. The visCycle is a great way to stay in shape and save yourself money.
