Yingmi has added a new product to its AI-powered smart fitness range: the VR Interactive Exercise Bike System, an outdoor-ready cycling installation that combines augmented reality gameplay with real-time multiplayer competition. The system is built for deployment in parks, shopping malls, theme parks, and community centers - venues where fitness equipment has traditionally struggled to hold attention past a single visit.
The product runs on the YMTEK V1.1 platform, Yingmi's own smart cycling framework, and connects to a cloud-based management backend accessible from any device. It is available now for B2B inquiry, with OEM and ODM options for international buyers.
What the Rider Experiences
When a user sits down and starts pedaling, the system connects through a WeChat Mini Program scan - no app download required. The YMTEK V1.1 3D engine then renders one of several environments - mountain roads, beaches, urban streets, forest trails - responding to the rider's actual cadence and steering input throughout.
Feedback runs through multiple channels at once. Vibration motors in the frame respond to simulated terrain changes. LED strips shift color with in-game events. A cadence-triggered sprint mode replicates a drafting effect at higher speeds, giving the session a competitive structure that a conventional exercise bike doesn't have. Twelve randomized finishes close out each ride.
Yingmi is targeting venues where dwell time and repeat visits are the primary business metric, and the design reflects that - it's closer to an arcade installation than a gym machine.
Multiplayer and Social Features
The system supports unlimited concurrent users. When multiple bikes are running at the same venue, riders compete against each other on a shared large-screen display showing live rankings and head-to-head matchups. Yingmi reports that venues using the system have seen dwell time increase by over 30%.
After each session, riders can review speed, mileage, and calorie data through the WeChat Mini Program and share results or challenge friends - keeping engagement going after the ride ends.
Built for Outdoor Deployment
The bike frame is galvanized steel with an anti-corrosion coating, the axle is high-strength alloy steel, and the whole unit is rated for all-weather outdoor use. That last detail matters: most smart fitness equipment either isn't weatherproofed or requires a covered installation, which limits where it can actually go.
Power draw is low - 12V DC at a rated 50W - and the footprint is compact enough (1084mm × 900mm × 532mm) that bikes can be grouped in clusters without dominating a space. Default color is silver-gray; the body color and LED palette are both customizable at order.
The Operator Side
Venue managers work through a separate backend rather than the rider-facing interface. From there they can monitor connected bikes in real time, receive fault alerts, and pull usage and financial reports. The dashboard works on both desktop and mobile.
The central controller syncs data between individual bikes, the large-screen display, and the backend over RS485 and Wi-Fi. The controller modules are standardized for straightforward maintenance, and the on-bike controls are simple enough for children to use without any guidance. Charging runs through either a centralized cabinet for large deployments or portable USB chargers for smaller setups.
Where It Gets Deployed
City and ecological parks are an obvious fit - the system generates foot traffic rather than just accommodating it. Theme parks can add it as a paying interactive ride. Resorts and scenic spots can use it to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Shopping malls can put it in underused common areas as a draw.
Corporate recreation rooms and community activity centers are a different kind of deployment: smaller scale, fixed user base, where the social competition layer is likely to drive repeat visits among the same group of people over time.
Customization and OEM
Yingmi's in-house R&D team handles full OEM and ODM work: bike appearance, branding, LED configuration, exclusive game scenarios, system functionality adjustments, and packaging. Language localization is available for both the device interface and the software.
The minimum order is 2 units for sample testing, with preferential pricing for orders of 10 or more. Standard lead time is 7 to 15 working days after payment; custom orders are confirmed per project. Every unit ships with a 3-year warranty and lifetime technical support. On-site installation guidance is available for large-scale projects.
The VR Cycling System joins the Smart Health Test Machine as part of Yingmi's growing AI-powered smart fitness lineup, a category the company has been building alongside its tour guide and translation device ranges.
