When Wattbike offered to deliver their new Proton bike to test I was thrilled, but I panicked. Described as an accessible and highly versatile smart bike I was expecting a beast of a bike - so I folded up my home treadmill, popped away my adjustable dumbbells and generally made some space.
But what arrived was a smaller-than-expected exercise bike. It was compact. It was small, especially with the seat and handlebars down. It’s simply a stunning piece of kit designed for anyone looking to get fit at home whether they’re a cyclist or not - and understated enough that it won’t stick out like a sore thumb in the home.
