Max. user weight
The maximum weight of the user for which the simulator is designed, in other words, the maximum weight of the athlete, at which the orbit track is guaranteed to work out the amount of time stated in the characteristics without the risk of breakage. This parameter should be adhered to as accurately as possible, do not be mistaken about the fact that 3-5 kg in excess of the calculated weight will not affect the device. Yes, most likely, the simulator will be able to work for some time, but it will experience loads exceeding the calculated ones, and at best it will fail earlier than expected, and at worst it may break at the most unfortunate moment, which is fraught with injuries. In addition, this case is usually not covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and you will have to eliminate the consequences at your own expense.
Seat
The presence in the design of the orbitrek
seats — similar to what is used in exercise bikes. Actually, the main meaning of this function is the possibility of using the unit in a "bicycle" format. Most likely, such a model will not replace a specialized exercise bike, but anyway, the seat significantly expands the scope of use of the orbit track.
Power source
The type of food used in the orbit track.

Network. Powered by a standard 230 V power supply (in other words, a regular home outlet). Such power allows you not to worry about replacing or recharging "dead" batteries — the simulator will work as long as there is light in the house. In addition, it is suitable for simulators with any load system, even electromagnetic (for more details, see "Load System"), while such models are much cheaper than similar generator ones (see below). The main disadvantages in this case are the dependence on the outlet and the need to use a network cable, which can limit mobility and get in the way. However, in most cases, these shortcomings do not cause significant inconvenience.

Battery. The orbitrek is powered by replaceable accumulators or batteries. The main advantage is the complete battery life of the simulator — it can be installed anywhere without worrying about the presence of sockets and laying the power cord. On the other hand, the battery power is very limited, and they are only suitable for simulators with non-volatile load systems (mechanical or magnetic, see "Load System" for more details), where only the computer needs power. In addition, the battery life is not infinite, and they need to be changed or recharged periodically (and in the case of batteries, only changed).

Built-in generator. The o
...rbitrek is powered by its own built-in generator, which is driven by the rotation of the flywheel. In other words, when using such a model, the user himself generates the energy required for work. To turn on the generator simulator, it is enough to turn the flywheel several times. This type of food combines the advantages of the two above. On the one hand, it is autonomous, on the other hand, it has sufficient power even to provide energy to electromagnetic load systems (for more details, see "Load System"). Yes, and you won’t have to change anything, unlike batteries, because. the service life of the generator is comparable to the service life of the simulator itself. At the same time, this feature significantly increases the weight, and most importantly, the cost of the orbit track, and therefore is found only in premium-class models.Dimensions
The dimensions of the equipment in the assembled and ready to work state. It is important to note that in fact more space is needed for comfortable and proper operation of the simulator.
