Cycling with COPD lung condition

Exercise improves your condition and makes you as a COPD patient less susceptible to a pulmonary infarction. Exercise trains your muscles and keeps you in better shape. This means that you are less tired and recover faster from the flu. The movement trains the muscles and gradually requires less oxygen. The European Respiratory Society, ERS recommends training three to five times a week for 20 to 60 minutes each. Numerous studies in recent years have shown that people with lung diseases can also benefit from sport or regular exercise.
 

Doing sports with COPD

A lot of patients ask themselves "Can you do sports with COPD?" The answer is clear, yes! There are even optimised offers for people with lung conditions. In addition to doing sports in organised groups, individually practised endurance sports such as cycling are also good for lung patients.

A generally positive effect on the fitness can be determined by sporty activity. Regular training increases and improves oxygen intake and heart rate as well as fitness and cardiovascular system. They also suffered less from shortness of breath under stress. However, the lung function values did not improve. Read also for this the article '10 reasons why cycling is healthy'.

The almost noiseless motor is very powerful and can thus optimally relieve them. In addition, you can adjust the support individually to your needs and even effortlessly roll off with the jump start to park backwards without dismounting.

The Easy Rider is a tricycle for adults that differs significantly from other traditional tricycles. The bike's unique frame ensures low entry and a stable seating position. The forward movement of the pedal and the suspension in the frame ensure perfect riding comfort. The special bike position reduces strain on the back, neck, shoulders and wrists. Almost everyone simply rides away with this tricycle without getting used to it.

Easy Go

The Easy Go electric tricycle is a unique product. This bike is a very agile, compact electric tricycle that can be used in three different ways. You can ride it like a normal bike, you pedal with the electric pedal assistance or you ride with the throttle, which you can operate with your thumb, just like a mobility scooter. This scooter can be driven at different speeds. The Easy Go drives both forwards and backwards electrically. The Easy Go does not require a driver's license or other qualifications to ride the bike.
