The Tour around the Zürichsee

Sunday i made a tour around the entire Zürichsee 106 Km including siteseeing!
The first 42 km from Siebnen/Galgenen to Zürich were no problem at all in just 2 hours! This distance 42 km is the best workoutdistance! 100 km on the stepper realy are a Challenge! Don't try this at home! Especially not at 30 Degrees Celsius!I
I would love to order a overdrive for the Stepper! The average speed could be 20% higher with more gears! A Nexus Hub? It should be possible in some way or the other to add more gears...any ideas?
I have been training on many steppers in the past years and my all time favorite stepper still is the Batavus Racing Stepper! Its about 25% faster than the Streetstepper! But no other stepper can beat the Streetstepper uphill its amazing how steep you can climb mountains...allmost incredible! And uphill the Streetstepper is faster than Mountainbikes...
Batavus does not sell Steppers anymore...Its a niche product and i fear that it will stay that way because nobody can reach the critical mass to realy create awareness!
Its great to see how people in their Aston Martin Cabrio envy you for your HOT RIDE!

Sonntag mit dem Streetstepper 106 km gefahren rund um den ganzen Zürichsee mit einige Abstecher zu Sehenswüridgkeiten rund um den See!
Die ersten 42 KM sind am leichtesten 2 Stunden nach Zürich ist kein Problem
die Mararthon Distanz ist auch die beste Trainingsdistanz! 100 km am Stepper sind echt eine Herausforderung überhaupt bei 30 Grad!

Health Benefits

The step movement used on the Streetstepper excercises the body’s strongest muscles (legs and buttocks) as well as integrating torso and arm muscles.
The upright position used on the Streetstepper is particularly beneficial for the spinal column as well as being easy on the wrists, as they don’t have to support any body weight. Furthermore, the gentle movement is low impact and makes no demands on the joints. This combination is simply unique!

Regardless of whether you are starting out with a new fitness regime and are maybe a little overweight, or you are already a well trained sports person and are looking for an alternative way of taking exercise in the fresh air, or looking for performance orientated training methods where, for example, differences in altitude of over 1000 metres can be achieved per hour – the Streetstepper is one of the most effective and healthy summer sport apparatuses that has ever been invented.

DR. GERHART HANDLE

„I consider the Streetstepper to be an absolute sensation for orthopaedic and sport medicine reasons, because it offers the following advantages:

Homogeneous, concentric muscle exertion. No micro traumas in the musculature as caused e.g. during mountain descent. No “aching muscles”

Ideal for hip, knee and ankle joints. Gentle joint-muscle coordination training and cardiovascular training without any damaging high impact stress

Upright body position and no spinal damaging forced posture caused otherwise by cycling. This avoids neck and lumbar vertebrae problems, often suffered by sportspersons.“

“Since the summer of 2010 my son and I, Tino Mathis (DPT in private practice in Vaduz, Liechtenstein), know and use the Streetstepper Sport.

The Streetstepper is a sophisticated tool for both training and rehabilitation after injury; we have collected excellent evidence of its uses.

30 years ago I trained and treated athletes and patients on the legendary “Himmelssteige” (staircase) in Feldkirch. The desire for a training device, which allows you to simulate climbing stairs, has been long awaited – and now it’s here! I am thrilled this ingenious tool is now available to aid in therapy!

Injured spines, painful joints, muscles, and even internal organs can be trained in a low impact routine – yes, I even dare to say: It’s a type of therapy.

The Streetstepper will hold its’ own within the fields of physical therapy practice and sports scientists testing this device will soon be delivering as yet undiscovered data to the sports industry with their results.”

The all New Streetstepper

What is the Streetstepper?

The Streetstepper is a completely new mode of transport which cleverly combines mobility with keeping fit.

The step levers operate independently from another, the upright position is comfortable from the word go.

Riding the Streetstepper is easy and incredibly good fun!

The combination of upright posture and low impact step movement is simply unique, making the Streetstepper one of the healthiest outdoor fitness apparatus on the market.

One frame size fits all, handlebar with adjustable height and position.

THE exercise machine!

In addition to the automatic gear mechanism, a manual 3 gear system enables outstanding performance:

1,000 metres and more in elevation per hour,
inclines of over 15% gradient or 100km on a single run?

No problem – as long as you have the necessary stamina!


The Streetstepper is first choice for ambitious riders!

Soon we will set a few new records

Today we have been testing the Racing stepper!
Most important thing about the racing stepper is
maximum pressure in the racing tires! 10 bar and you will
feel like flying! With our new Topeak pump we are able to
keep the pressure up and the pressure makes all the difference!

The season is young but the first 60 KM tour on
the Racing Stepper has been great!
After a few shorter rides between 20 and 40 km this time
it had to be a 60 km ride! And wow that was great with just one
brake after 30 km you will need 6 brakes for your first long ride!

But with a little practice and a good condition i bet we are now
ready do drive realy long distances like more than 100km we will keep
you updated.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Gary Silva!
The inventor of the 3 G Stepper and designer of the Batavus
City Stepper and Racing stepper is still the number one when it
comes to the most perfect stepper!

We did so much testing now and we can tell you there is no better
way to ride than on his steppers!

Happy new year

If you want a dreambody 2008 try outdoorfitness on the outdoorstepper!

Ski outdoor fitness

Can you imagine a better preperation for your skivacation than the
stepper? Look at the muscles that you use on the stepper.
Riding a bike is also a nice preperation for skiing but the
stepper beats the bike thats for sure!

With the right stuff you can ride the stepper even if it is cold.

The streetstepper will be used by professional skiers for this
training purpose! Much more fun than in the gym!

Bikestepper as bikenews or fitness news?

More and more people and opinion leaders think
of the Outdoorstepper as a BIKE? And you?


Take a look at RTL Campinglife !Do you see bikes? Or steppers Stepperbikes?

Batavus calls the Stepper BIKE Stepper...maybe the right name

friend in germany has created the outstepper many more great names will come
up for this outdoorstepper.

we will see how the market will react on these new outdoorsteppers as bikes or as outdoor fitness machines like Tina Vindum CEO of Outdoorfitness.com!

What is the right name for the outdoorstepper?

Rob the inventor of the first stepper in Australia calls his outdoorstepper Levercycle!

See the movie...

Is a outdoorstepper a cycle or simply a stairmaster on wheels? Thus Staircyle?

We are looking for the best name for this new invention.

Let us know what you think is the right name for this new fitness machine....

New Stepper in Australia

This week we have found a new stepper on the web.

A bike called levercycle.

This stepper seems to be able to climb all mountains
this is was the inventor wrote:
It actually feels beautifully smooth
and controllable
I have tested it also to 15 degree inclines
but I can go a lot steeper than that
remember it takes full range derailleur gears
front and back.

That sounds very interesting!

Staircyle a real hill climber

The Staircyle has never been tested by us in Europe but we are glad that Outdoorstepper fans all over the world post their stories and pictures like this one that we have received from Craig Ridenhour the inventor of the staircycle.

Gary must be a strong athlete and in our opinion a real Hill climbing devil!

I just wanted to show you a couple of pictures taken of me at the Mt. Diablo Challenge Hillclimb this past Sunday.

It's a 10.8 mile hillclimb with 3200 feet of climbing. I have done the climb for about 16 years on a bicycle, unicycle, kickbike (push scooter), and with my son on a trail-a-bike. I decided to do the StairCycle this year.

The thing weighs 40 lbs. And the gearing was not quite low enough, so it was a bit difficult. I was not going for a fast time, but just a good ride up to the top. My finish time after about 5 rest stops was 1 hour 36 minutes.

Overall it was a good climb, and I got a lot of attention from riders. The most common thing I heard was " I've never seen that before....

Outdoorstepper TREND

Outdoorsteppers are very hot, especially if you look at this Randy Ross Stepper
Gary Silva came up with the perfect design for this outdoorstepper, we believe that there will never be a more beautiful design than this...a few tuning parts and you have got yourself the perfect outdoorgym! We like the Ergon Grips for the stepper!

This new outdoor fitness trend is very interesting! People love the stepper!

Prof. Peter Habeler on the outdoorstepper!
