LAS VEGAS, Jan. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SportsArt, the leader in sustainable fitness equipment, debuts the world’s first energy producing treadmill, the VERDE™ G690 at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The treadmill is SportsArt’s latest machine to join it’s ECO-POWR line, which uses an electromagnetic and mechanical braking system to generate electricity during a workout.
Human power is harnessed by walking, jogging, running, sprinting or sled pushing, and can generate up to 200 watt-hours of utility-grade electricity. The patented micro-inverter, similar to those found in solar panels and wind turbines, "cleans" the generated power into a form that is usable by other devices plugged into a facility's electrical grid.
The machine’s technology also features:
- SA Well + User App to track performance and watts generated
- Safe Start Belt Lock
- Electronic speed and resistance control
- USB Charger
- Smart Break Technology – Push mode
“We noticed a gap in sustainability present in gyms and knew we had to do something about that,” said Ivo Grossi, CEO of the Americas for SportsArt. “We took the treadmill, a staple in fitness and incorporated a revolutionary technology that would not only reduce energy consumption, but actually produce it. With this being our first time at CES, we are thrilled to present VERDE and its technology to a whole new audience.”
SportsArt’s mission is to constantly revolutionize the fitness industry with its green initiatives, which is being done every day through the use of the VERDE and the rest of the ECO-POWR line. Every time one of these machines is in use, up to 74 percent of the energy being produced is captured, converted and returned to the grid – reducing the user’s carbon footprint.
The treadmill also features SportsArt’s SA Well+ System™, a home screen that provides real-time data on energy generated by the user, so everyone testing the machine can track the amount of energy they are producing.
SportsArt will be showcasing the VERDE, as well as several other ECO-POWR products, at CES on January 8-11.
Booth location: Sands, Halls A-D – #45640.
