The Volksgym VG-51B is the first model in Volksgym's upright bike range with a specified flywheel weight — 3 kg — which means noticeably smoother pedalling compared to the lighter VG-33B and VG-37B. At AED 1,799 with 110 kg user capacity and 25.5 kg machine weight, the VG-51B is where Volksgym's exercise bikes transition from basic budget machines to proper home fitness equipment.

Why the flywheel matters

A heavier flywheel stores more rotational energy, which smooths out the dead spots in your pedal stroke — the point at the top and bottom of each revolution where your legs transition from pushing to pulling. The VG-51B's 3 kg flywheel won't feel like a commercial gym bike (those use 15–25 kg flywheels), but the difference between a specified 3 kg flywheel and lighter unspecified flywheels is immediately noticeable in pedalling comfort.

At 25.5 kg net weight, the VG-51B is heavier than the VG-33B (22 kg) and VG-37B (22.4 kg), which translates to better on-floor stability during use — less rocking at higher cadences.

Technical specifications

Who should buy the VG-51B

• Users who prioritise pedal smoothness over budget — if choppy pedalling would frustrate you, the 3 kg flywheel makes a real difference over the VG-33B and VG-37B. AED 1,799 is reasonable for the upgrade.
• Regular home cyclists (3–5 sessions per week) — the smoother pedal action makes longer sessions more comfortable. If you're pedalling 30+ minutes regularly, you'll appreciate the flywheel.
• Users under 110 kg who want a mid-weight machine — at 25.5 kg, the VG-51B is a good balance between portability and stability.

Frequently asked questions

VG-51B vs VG-62B — same flywheel, different price?

Both have 3 kg flywheels. The VG-62B (AED 1,699) is actually AED 100 cheaper, supports 120 kg users (vs 110 kg), and adds 8-level tension control. If you're choosing between these two, the VG-62B is the better value — unless the VG-51B's slightly heavier frame (25.5 kg vs 23.5 kg) appeals to you for stability.

Should I jump to the VG-80B instead?

The VG-80B (AED 2,399) has a 5.5 kg flywheel, belt drive, and horizontal/vertical saddle adjustment. It's a meaningfully better bike — but at AED 600 more. If your budget allows it and you plan to use the bike frequently, the VG-80B's smoother ride and adjustability justify the premium.
