The budget ellipsoid of the EcoFit brand is a magnetic trainer for home use. The model can be used for maintaining shape, combating excess weight, or compensating for a lack of physical activity. The magnetic load system offers energy independence (the onboard computer operates on batteries and doesn't require a network connection), but it limits adjustment options. There are 8 levels of intensity with manual settings via a special lever on the body.
The EcoFit E-618E orbitrek is distinguished by its compact size (165x120x60 cm) and is equipped with an 8-kilogram flywheel at the back of the body, which expands the Q-factor (distance between the pedals) to 20 cm. As a result, exercises on this model may provoke increased joint strain. The elliptical is designed for users with a body weight of up to 130 kg and is primarily suitable for people of average height, as the stride length is a moderate 380 cm. Interaction with the model is via a simple control panel with buttons and a small screen. The screen displays, among other things, heart rate information (there are also dedicated sensors on special stationary handles), approximate calorie consumption, and the total distance for all sessions (odometer).
