At around the same time, Per-Olof \u00c5strand at GIH was working on the development of the ergometer and its use in physiological testing.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, Monark was asked to produce the pendulum ergometer. In 1954, the first Monark ergometer with the pendulum weight system was produced, a principle that is still used in many of our ergometers today.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the development of ergometers became an increasingly important part of Monark&#8217;s business. Since 1995, Monark ergometers have been manufactured in Vansbro, and Monark Exercise AB was established the following year.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Monark Exercise is fully focused on ergometer bikes and testing equipment for performance, health, research and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>Our history began even earlier, at the historic Kroon bicycle factory in 1908 in Vansbro, Dalarna. From Kroon, we have inherited a tradition of robust, high-quality bicycles that lives on to this day. Quality that has been with us throughout the years.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From then until now 1910 1934 1954 1970 1995 2009 2021 2040 THE HISTORY OF MONARK EXERCISE Monark Exercise has its roots in Swedish bicycle manufacturing, with Monark in Varberg dating back to 1908 and Kroon in Vansbro to 1910.
