Created with Parents and Kids in Mind
A third of America's children are overweight or obese, and recession-strapped parents are looking for low cost exercise options that appeal to their media-savvy kids.
HeartRate Games has a solution. Our bicycle controller has been tested by adults as well as kids ages 7-14, and our test users loved it. We knew we had something special when a 7 year old girl refused to get off the bike and said "I want to keep playing the game!", while a 9 year old boy said he'd ask for one for Christmas.
Two or more bike controllers can be attached to a game console so parents and kids can play immersive fitness games together. Our player equivalence technology enables multiple players to get the same level of game play experience regardless of each player's height, weight, or fitness level. A 40 year old dad and his 9 year old daughter can play fitness games together without someone being left behind.

Rooted in Technology for Indoor Biking Enthusiasts
The hardware elements of the controller are based on bike trainers used by hard-core road bikers to train indoors during bad weather. We leverage this proven concept to enable a controller design that is lightweight, suited to low-cost mass production, and delivers ergonomics and exercise intensity similar to what a user will get riding a bike outside.
Designed by Game Developers, not Jocks
Have you ever played a fitness game designed by a company that makes fitness machines? They're not as exciting to play as you might expect if you're used to playing sedentary video games. They tend to appeal more to fitness enthusiasts instead of average consumers.
HeartRate Games was founded by video game developers to make fitness game solutions that offer the same playability and polish as first-rate sedentary games while taking the experience to the next level by immersing the user mentally and physically into the game.
