For a clinic or 24/7 franchise running a recumbent back-to-back through the day, the C574R carries users up to 205 kg on a step-through frame with 40 resistance levels. Its self-powered ECO-NATURAL drive means no floor outlet to plan around, so you can place it anywhere on the gym floor.

It suits operators who need a low-entry bike for mixed-ability members, with horizontal seat and backrest adjustment to fit a wide range of body sizes and fingertip resistance controls riders can change mid-session. The LCD console runs Manual, Random, Interval, Plateau, Fitness, Weight Loss and Cardio programs, reading heart rate, RPM, distance and calories without a phone.

Is this recumbent bike right for your facility?

This recumbent bike suits your facility if:

  • You're fitting out a commercial gym, hotel, strata or clinic space that needs a step-through recumbent handling continuous multi-user sessions
  • You want to accommodate heavier and larger users, with a 205 kg max user weight and horizontal seat and backrest adjustment
  • You value self-powered operation that runs without being plugged in, through the ECO-NATURAL technology
  • You want simple, serviceable controls: fingertip resistance across 40 levels and a clear LCD console

Look at another option if:

  • You want an upright or indoor cycling bike for standing, higher-intensity riding rather than a low, supported recumbent position
  • You only need a basic recumbent for occasional light use and don't need 40 resistance levels or a 205 kg capacity
  • You need a touchscreen console with streaming apps, since this runs an LCD display with on-board programs only
  • You can't allow 12 to 14 weeks of lead time, as this is a special-order item

Adela's Take

What stands out is the self-powered ECO-NATURAL build: no mains plug, so you can site this bike anywhere on a gym floor without hunting for an outlet. The 205 kg user limit is genuinely inclusive.

The LCD console is functional rather than interactive, so it isn't built for members who want app-based metrics. The step-through frame earns its keep: easy, stable mounting for less mobile users.

LCD Console with Seven Live Readouts

The LCD display puts the metrics a member actually watches front and centre: heart rate, RPM, resistance, time, distance, speed and calories.

No menu-diving mid-session, which matters when you have a queue of users cycling through on a busy floor.

  • Seven readouts: Heart Rate, RPM, Resistance, Time, Distance, Speed, Calories
  • 40 resistance levels shown directly on the display
  • Programs: Manual, Random, 3 Intervals, Plateau, Fitness, Weight Loss, Cardio
  • Contact HR sensors in the grips

What this means for you: Every user, from a deconditioned first-timer to a lap-counting regular, gets the numbers they need without staff having to explain the console.

Step-Through Frame for Easy On and Off

The step-through design removes the high crossbar most uprights force you to swing a leg over, so getting on and off is a short side step.

For operators running seniors or deconditioned members, that single feature decides whether a bike gets used.

  • Open step-through frame, no high crossbar to clear
  • Supports users up to 205 kg
  • Recumbent seating position keeps the rider supported throughout
  • Suits mixed-ability member bases from first-timers to regulars

What this means for you: In the clinics and over-50s classes I've worked with, easy entry is the difference between a machine that fills your timetable and one that sits idle.

SportsArt C574R ECO-NATURAL™ Elite Recumbent Exercise Bike Effortless Step-Through Design feature

Self-Powered ECO-NATURAL™ Operation

The bike generates its own power from the user's pedalling, so it needs no wall socket to run the console and resistance.

For a fit-out, that means you can place it anywhere on the floor without planning around a power point or running a cable.

  • Self-powered via ECO-NATURAL™ technology, no mains power required
  • Console and resistance run entirely off pedalling input
  • Frees up floor layout, no reliance on nearby GPOs
  • No standby draw adding to a facility's running costs

What this means for you: Across a full fleet, cutting the cabling and the standby power adds up, and it simplifies where you can stand the bikes in the room.

Horizontal Seat and Backrest Adjustment

Both the seat and backrest adjust horizontally, so riders of very different heights can set their leg reach in seconds.

Multi-point adjustment means the changeover between users is quick, not a wrestling match.

  • Multi-point horizontal seat and backrest adjustment
  • Fits a wide range of user heights without tools
  • Backrest support for lower-back comfort through longer sessions
  • Fast reset between members on a high-throughput floor

What this means for you: When a bike fits everyone quickly, it stays in rotation all day instead of being skipped because the last person left it set wrong.

SportsArt C574R ECO-NATURAL™ Elite Recumbent Exercise Bike Precision Adjustable Seat & Backrest feature

Fingertip Resistance Controls in the Handles

Resistance controls sit in the handles, so users adjust effort without reaching forward to the console or breaking their pedalling rhythm.

Through a 40-level range, that lets a member fine-tune intervals on the fly.

  • Fingertip resistance buttons built into the grips
  • 40 resistance levels to step through
  • Adjust effort without leaning forward to the console
  • Suits interval and plateau programs that need frequent changes

What this means for you: Little things keep sessions flowing: when changing resistance is a thumb press, members actually use the full range instead of parking on one setting.

Commercial-Grade Upholstery Built for Continuous Use

The seat and backrest use commercial-grade upholstery rated for the volume a shared facility puts through a machine every day.

Upholstery takes the most wear on a shared recumbent, so it matters more than most lines on a spec sheet.

  • Commercial-grade upholstery specified for continuous multi-user use
  • Seat and backrest surfaces built to resist daily wear
  • Frame and finish suited to 24/7 and high-traffic sites
  • Supports users up to 205 kg

What this means for you: Upholstery is the first thing to fail on a hard-worked bike, so specifying it correctly up front keeps replacement and downtime off your maintenance roster.

SportsArt C574R ECO-NATURAL™ Elite Recumbent Exercise Bike Premium Commercial-Grade Upholstery feature

Integrated Bottle and Device Holder

A built-in bottle holder and device holder keep water and a phone or tablet within reach during a session.

Small detail, but it is the one members notice on day one of a longer ride.

  • Dedicated bottle holder within arm's reach
  • Device holder for a phone or tablet
  • Keeps essentials off the floor and out of the pedalling path
  • Supports the longer sessions the built-in programs encourage

What this means for you: On recumbent bikes people settle in for longer rides, so somewhere to park a drink and a screen genuinely improves the member experience.

40 Levels of Resistance

Forty resistance levels give you fine steps from a gentle recovery spin up to a demanding cardio effort.

That breadth is what lets one bike serve a beginner and a conditioned regular on the same floor.

  • 40 distinct resistance levels
  • Small increments between levels for precise effort control
  • Pairs with Interval and Plateau programs for structured work
  • Low-end settings suit first-timers and recovery sessions

What this means for you: A wide, finely stepped range means every member finds a setting that challenges them, which keeps a single bike useful across your whole membership.

Footprint and Floor Fit

At 172.5 cm long, 66 cm wide and 140.4 cm tall, the bike plans cleanly into a cardio row without eating the floor space of a larger machine.

The 140.4 cm height clears a standard ceiling with ease, so siting is about floor layout, not clearance.

  • Dimensions: 172.5 x 66 x 140.4 cm (L x W x H)
  • Assembled weight: 96.5 kg for a stable, planted base
  • Self-powered, so placement is not tied to a power point
  • 66 cm width works for standard cardio-row spacing

What this means for you: Knowing the exact footprint up front lets you lay out a row and count how many units fit before the fleet arrives.

The C574R is a special-order unit with a 12 to 14 week lead time, delivered by freight to your site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the C574R delivered and what's the lead time?

The C574R is a special-order unit, so plan for 12 to 14 weeks from order date. It ships freight on a pallet, fully boxed. For multi-unit fleet orders, installation or a delivery window to your site, request a quote and we'll confirm lead times and freight into your location before you commit.

What happens if it arrives damaged or a part is missing?

Take photos before unpacking and email support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We lodge the freight claim, organise replacement parts or a full unit, and stay across it until you're up and running. You don't deal with the courier or SportsArt directly, that's our job.

What's involved in assembly?

SportsArt doesn't publish an assembly guide for this self-powered LCD version online, so I won't guess at steps, tools or time. We confirm what's involved when you order, and we can quote professional installation if you'd rather the bike arrive floor-ready. At 96.5 kg assembled, plan the route to its final spot before it lands.

Does it need to be plugged in to work?

No. The ECO-NATURAL self-powered system generates its own power from the user pedalling, so the console and all 40 resistance levels run without mains power. That's a real advantage for fit-outs where you'd rather not run power to every station, and it trims energy cost across a floor of machines.

What footprint should I allow for it?

The bike measures 172.5 cm long, 66 cm wide and 140.4 cm tall, so it slots comfortably under any standard ceiling. Allow a little clearance behind and to the side for the step-through entry and seat adjustment. At 96.5 kg assembled it stays put once positioned, but plan the layout before it lands.

Who is this bike built for and what's the user weight limit?

It's rated to a 205 kg max user weight, which is generous and suits a broad member base. The step-through frame and horizontal seat and backrest adjustment make it easy to get on and off, so it works well in commercial gyms, hotels, strata facilities and clinic settings where many different users share one machine.

How accurate is the heart rate reading?

The contact sensors in the handgrips are fine for a general read during steady-state riding, as long as the rider holds both grips. Treat the number as a guide to effort rather than a precise measurement. For a facility tracking member intensity closely, I'd pair the console reading with how the rider feels rather than relying on grip contact alone.

How does it hold up under continuous multi-user use?

This is commercial-grade gear built for back-to-back sessions. SportsArt's published warranty is a lifetime frame with 3 years parts, wear items and labour for unlimited commercial use, or 5 years parts and wear items with 3 years labour for light commercial use (up to 6 hours a day), plus 90 days on high wear items (parts only). Warranty service is handled by an Australian team. Request a quote and we'll confirm the terms for your site in writing.
