SNODE E20 versus E20i Elliptical Trainer Machine, Comparison Review

Both the SNODE E20 and E20i Elliptical Trainer Machines are sturdily constructed with a nice compact design to fit easily in to a small space in your home and at a nice price that won’t break the bank!

The SNODE E20 Elliptical is an entry-level manual machine (with battery operated console) while the SNODE E20i is more of a mid-range electric machine with a better console, more resistance levels, programs and Bluetooth capabilities that the E20 doesn’t have.

Heavy-duty Cross Crank for increased durability & added stability on SNODE E20 and E20i Elliptical Trainer Machines
Heavy-duty Cross Crank for increased
durability & added stability
Both the SNODE E20 and E20i Elliptical Trainer Machines operate surprisingly smoothly and quietly thanks to their magnetic resistance system and 22 lb inertia flywheel.  Both machines feature a rear-drive system with a heavy-duty Cross Crank that provides increased durability and added stability as you exercise.

Compactly designed, the SNODE E20 and E20i Elliptical Machines both offer a 13.78” stride length with large non-slip footplates for safety and can be operated in forward or backward motion.

The dual handlebars on both elliptical machines allow you the option of working just your lower body by holding onto the static handlebars or your entire body by holding on to the moving handlebars as you pedal.

As previously mentioned, the SNODE E20i Elliptical Trainer offers more resistance levels than the E20 – twice as many in fact!  The E20i offers 16 levels of electronically controlled magnetic resistance compared to 8 magnetic resistance levels on the E20.  Both are controlled via a simple to use resistance turn dial knob, but the E20i’s dial is located on the console itself while the E20’s dial is located on the machine’s frame beneath the console.

The resistance levels on both elliptical machines give you a good range to work with and allow you total control over the intensity of your workout.  For more challenge and variety, the SNODE E20i also offers 12 motion programs ranging from beginner to advanced and sporty.  The SNODE E20 does not offer any workout programs, rather it is a simple get on and go elliptical trainer without any fuss!

An additional feature the SNODE E20i has which the E20 does not have is Bluetooth capability.  The E20i features Bluetooth Smart technology which is compatible with the free iConsole App (available on both iOS and Android devices) for those of you who like to track your workout data online and for additional training options.

As you can see from the images, the SNODE E20 and SNODE E20i Elliptical Machines come with different consoles – the SNODE E20 comes with a simple digital LCD monitor while the E20i comes with a better digital LCD monitor with eye-protection Blu-ray screen.  Both consoles are straightforward and easy to use and display motivating workout stats including time, speed, distance, calories burned and pulse heart-rate.

Both the SNODE E20 and SNODE E20i Elliptical Trainers feature pulse grip heart-rate sensors built into the static handlebars to help you keep track and stay within your target heart-rate zone as you exercise.

Additional features on both the SNODE E20 and SNODE E20i Elliptical Trainer Machines include a handy media shelf to place your iPad/tablet to keep entertained as you exercise, and front-mounted transport wheels for easy relocation of the machine.

Both the SNODE E20 and SNODE E20i Elliptical Trainers support a user weight capacity of up to 265 lbs.  Both machines are the same size and weight, with each machine weighing around 88 lbs and measuring a nice compact size of around just 47” long x 24” wide x 61” high.

Sole R92 versus Sole LCR Recumbent Bike, Comparison Review

The Sole R92 and Sole LCR Recumbent Bikes are both high-quality recumbent exercise bikes with a durable construction, comfort ergonomics, and a wealth of premium features to keep your workouts motivating.

The Sole R92 Recumbent Bike is ideal for home use, while the Sole LCR with its more heavy-duty flywheel (31 lbs compared to the R92’s 20 lb flywheel) is ideal for more intensive use either at home or in a light commercial setting.

Besides the difference in flywheel weight, the Sole LCR Recumbent Bike also has twice as many resistance levels than the Sole R92 (40 EMS levels on the LCR versus 20 ECB levels on the R92), so if you’re looking for a lot more challenge then the LCR is the one for you!

Both the Sole R92 and the Sole LCR Recumbent Bikes offer 10 preset programs to keep your workouts varied – 6 standard, 2 heart-rate and 2 custom programs.

Motivating workout stats including time, speed, distance, calories burned and heart rate are displayed on the Sole recumbent bike consoles.  Both the Sole R92 and LCR consoles are easy-to-use and offer Bluetooth connectivity for seamless transition of workout data to online fitness apps on your own mobile device.

However, the display screen on the consoles differ between these two recumbent bikes, with the Sole R92 having a 9” LCD screen and the Sole LCR having a 10.1” TFT LCD screen.

Both the Sole R92 and Sole LCR Recumbent Bikes are constructed with a low-step-through frame design that makes it easy to mount and dismount the comfortable padded seat.  The seat is adjustable for different user heights with simple to use adjustment levers with a sliding seat rail system (see user height compatibility listed in the comparison table below).

The ergonomic oversized pedals on both the Sole R92 and Sole LCR are designed with 2-degree inward incant to ensure correct body posture / joint alignment and helps to prevent strain on your feet and knees as you exercise.

Additional features of both the Sole R92 and Sole LCR Recumbent Bikes include:  water bottle holders so you can keep hydrated as you exercise; front and rear stabilizers for added stability; and front-mounted transport wheels for easy relocation.

Both the Sole R92 and Sole LCR Recumbent Bikes are electric powered and sturdily constructed with a durable heavy-duty steel frame and aluminum shroud.  The bikes have the same footprint but there is a slight difference between the weight of the two bikes (see specifications listed in the comparison table and bullet-points below) and subsequently there’s a difference in the overall user weight capacity between the two Sole bikes with the LCR supporting a higher user weight capacity of up to 350 lbs compared to the R92’s 300 lbs capacity.

Both the Sole R92 and Sole LCR Recumbent Exercise Bikes come with a generous warranty to reflect the manufacturer’s confidence in the quality of these bikes (see difference in warranties offered for each of these bikes listed in the comparison table below).

Take your workouts to new levels with the New Sole E95S Elliptical Trainer 2016.

The Sole E95S Elliptical Trainer features a front-drive system with a heavy-duty 30 lb flywheel and ECB magnetic resistance for whisper-quiet, smooth and fluid motion.

The Sole E95S Elliptical Trainer is all about maximizing your workout in a low-impact comfortable way.  It features Power Adjustable Stride (18-24” stride length) that allows you to shorten or lengthen your gait either before or during your workout at the simple touch of a button.

Generally speaking, the longer the stride length, the closer to a running motion you get without the impact on your joints associated with traditional exercise.  The adjustable stride length is ideal for varying your workouts as well as being perfect for users of different heights.

The Sole E95S Elliptical Trainer also features unique custom foot pedals (15”) that have been designed with a 2 degree inward slope to maximize comfort and to help prevent stress on knees and ankles.

The New Sole E95S Elliptical Trainer 2016’s Power Incline separates it from the rest of the elliptical trainers on the market.  This feature creates a completely different workout to standard elliptical trainers and helps to target areas of the lower body that would not normally get worked on machines without the Power Incline.

The Sole E95S Elliptical Trainer features dual-action handlebars – static and moving – so you can choose whether to work your upper body in unison with your lower body or just work your lower body by holding onto the static handlebars.  The moving handlebars have multi-position handgrips and Quick Keys for changing the resistance level or incline.
