In the fall of last year, rumor had it that French company BigBen Interactive was “looking to cash in on the Wii exergaming craze while it lasts” with a project called Cyberbike.  The idea was greatly criticized because the proposed Cyberbike was literally a full-sized bike attachment.  As it turns out, their idea has come to fruition.

Introducing full-sized bike to Wii.

Cyberbike is a full-sized stationary “home- bike” complete with back pedaling and brake capabilities. I was unable to find any specs on the peripheral’s weight and height, but as you can see from the official Cyberbike Trailer, it’s a pretty large accessory. embedded by Embedded Video

Unlike many BigBen Interactive products, the Cyberbike also comes with a Wii game title of the same name.  The Cyberbike game includes 18 tracks, personalized vehicles and characters, 3 game modes and varying levels of difficulty.  I found the story mode plot line a little unexpected.  Here is a little summary of what to expect:

Drive, along with your family, the most improbable vehicles from planet Cyclo. Use your body and mind, as an eco-citizen, to finally rid this world of the many sources of pollution that are literally suffocating it. Collect the elements that are polluting planet Cyclo either on the ground, in the air or under water, using the vehicles provided for this purpose.

Bikes not your thing?

If Cyberbike doesn’t suit your fancy, why not try Wii Fit look-alike My Body Coach with two 500g dumbells (that’s 1.1 lbs) for your Wiimotes.  Already have a Wii Fit?  You can also purchase BigBen Interactive’s famous Wii Fit Fitness Premium Pack which comes with a storage case, silicon cover and built-in battery compartment for your Wii Balance Board, floor mat, belt with a pocket for Wiimote, two wrist hands and a pedometer.  What else could you ask for?
