Best Exercise Bikes in 2024

★★★★★ Smooth, solid ride. Very solid, smooth ride. I'm glad my husband was there to assemble it - it took at least an hour or two. The seat is comfortable, pedaling is very smooth. It has more resistance levels than I need, for sure. I tried the JRNY app 2 month free trial. So far I really enjoy the adaptive workouts. I definitely work out harder when someone is telling me to pick up the pace or to beat my previous record. I've only had this for a week or two, but ride once or twice per day. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

★★★★★ Well designed and adjustable. It is really well-made. I did have to hire someone to put it together, but that’s mostly because I’m 78 and have arthritis. There are instructions if you have the patience. It’s comfortable and the seat is adjustable. I found the screen a little hard to read because it’s dark gray on light gray And again I’m 78. It’s quite heavy so it stays in place well and it’s quiet so I can read or play a game on my tablet to make the time go a little faster or even watch TV. The resistance is also very adjustable so it’s great for the beginner or someone who is already in better shape and just wants to stay that way And that’s a feature that I was really looking for.

★★★★☆ Great bike, would be 5 stars if not for 2 things. Purchased this bike 2 months ago and I use it 5-6 days a week. It’s a great home workout. It is not gym quality but it is definitely higher tier home gym quality. I looked at a lot of bikes and read all of the reviews. Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase and I think the quality is great for the price.Pros: easy assembly, easy to operate, provides a great workout, no issues with seat adjustment or fit for either my wife or myself. Very smooth operation and super quietCons: there are only 2 cons and these are minor but I felt it made it a 4 star vs a 5 star. And Schwinn could easily fix these issues. First, the display is not back lit. I knew this from previous reviews so it was not a surprise. I always have my phone so no biggie to see the screen and if your work out area is well lit then seeing the screen is not an issue. My workout area is not well lit. The second thing and I did not see this in any reviews: the power cord plugs into the front of the bike. My bike face the middle of the room with the seat to the wall. Someone could very easily walk by and accidentally hit it with their foot and break it. Would recommend Schwinn make it so the power cord in in the back.Although it has Bluetooth, you need compatible apps to use it to check pulse. I didn’t care about this but someone might.I would buy this bike again.

★★★★★ Great Bike. Absolutely amazing Schwinn product. I love this recumbent bike and use it nearly every day.

★★★★★ Good for the price point. I have a home gym (treadmill, Tonal) and have wanted to add a recumbent bike for a long time. I have neck problems and the upright style bikes put too much strain on it so the recumbent style is ideal. Because the bike was going to be a minor part of my workouts (I only wanted it for days where I wanted a lighter workout) I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I knew it would never become my main exercise equipment. This bike was in the price range I wanted to spend and it had the most features for the money. Plus, the Schwinn brand was a selling point for me. The bike was super easy to assemble and I was able to do it myself in 15-20 minutes. It has basic features you'd expect like preprogrammed workouts. The workouts don't really range much in intensity in my opinion but you can always modify them once you're using them. You can also use manual settings to make your own workout (you can't save it for future use, but I wouldn't expect that option in this price level). The bike isn't very loud (it's not silent either) so you can easily watch tv or listen to music. There is one part on the bike that isn't secured on and I have repeatedly knocked it off. It's a cover that is just under the seat. It is purely for aesthetics, it doesn't serve a function, but it's not secured on in any way, it just fits on the spot but I've knocked it off repeatedly so I'll probably just glue it down. The oddest thing to me is the power cord. It's thinner than even a lamp cord and is more like something you'd use for a small electronic device (two prong plug, not the usual three prong). I mean, it powers the bike so that's all that's needed but it feels flimsy. You wouldn't want to plug it in anywhere that it could be bumped. As far as size, the bike seat distance is fairly adjustable and I'm quite comfortable when sitting (I'm 5'9") and can reach and use the pedals just fine. The bike is very stable. I have it on a fitness mat over carpet in my gym. It stays quite steady while using it. The construction of the bike feels like it would be more unsteady, but it's not. Good bike for the price. Let's be clear, this is NOT Peloton quality by any means but it's a very good bike for the price point.

★★★★★ Llego a tiempo, fácil de armar y con todo lo necesario para un bien ejercicio!!

★★★★★ Been using this bike for years. Got this recumbent bike initially because of rheumatoid arthritis - would recommend for anyone who wants exercise but is struggling with limitations related to knees, joints, etc. My illness is under control now and my partner and I still use this bike for exercise on almost a daily basis. Also comes with preinstalled programs so you can allow the bike to push you, instead of you having to push yourself to do a proper workout. Worth the money in my opinion.

★★★★★ Construcción robusta, fácil de armar.Buena decisión, después de investigar varias marcas en web pages de USA,La uso 4-5 días a la semana, (70+)

★★★★☆ Le montage était relativement simple, mais le manuel de l'utilisateur offrait des illustrations plutôt moches. Celles de la vidéo sur YouTube étaient meilleures. En outre, les éléments contenus dans la boîte ne sont pas bien identifiées, c'est un peu long. Par contre, au lieu de mettre des vis dans des contenants, on les a déjà mises après le bâti, ça simplifie beaucoup la tâche. Les instructions relatives à la console et aux applications sont minimalistes, dommage. D'autre part, la connexion avec mon casque de réalité virtuelle fut facile. J'ai vérifié que je peux me servir du vélo dans deux applications au moins. Suggestions à Schwinn : numéroter les sacs contenant des pièces et en énumérer le contenu, et mettre des dessins aussi beaux que ceux de la vidéo dans le document papier.

★★★★☆ ALGO INCOMODO EL ASIENTO POR LO DEMAS EXCELENTE POR EL PRECIO

★★★★★ My Impressions of the Yosuda Exercise Bike. I received my order of the Yosuda Exercise Bike yesterday afternoon. I want to the Amazon employee for bringing this item and leaving it by the front door. I brought it inside and proceeded to put it together. As I explained in my video, posted earlier, this bike is very easy to put together. You'll want to start with the base pieces. Use the two large screws and place those caps on top. You can use the wrench provided or you can use your own. I found it necessary to turn the bike upside down and then add these pieces. You can do it by yourself but, if you have someone helping out, they can hold the bike steady while you add these parts. It doesn't take long.Next, turn the bike rightside up and begin working on the pedals. You'll need to turn the pedal screw, counter clockwise. If you try to install it clockwise, it's not going to work. Use the L pedal for the left side, and the R pedal for the right side. You can't miss the letters marked on each pedal. Next, it's on to the seat bar. It's easy to install, just remove the knob and slide it in for now. You can adjust it later. Add the seat bar, than the seat itself. Move on to the Handlebar post. Do the same and remove the knob and slide the post in. You'll have to unscrew it completely in order for both posts to go in. Put the knobs back in once they're in position.Add the Handlebar post. You will see two wires at the front of the bike. Make sure that when you screw in the Handlebar post, the wires remain in the very front of the bike. See my video for more clarification. You can add the bike monitor to the top of the Handlebar post. It has a slot, just slide it in. Add the input with the two wires to the hole on the backside of the monitor - this will be the right side. Add the input that connects to the side of the front wheel to the back of the monitor in the hole on the left side. I'm looking at the back of the monitor when I'm making reference to the right or left side. You'll be in front of the bike doing this. It may be a challenge to do it while you're on the bike. That's pretty much it.I like this bike. It's not too heavy. It does have a little bit of weight but you can move it around if necessary. The most noticeable feature is the bike is quiet. I mean, I rode my Schwinn Exercise Bike for years. That product was very noisy. This one, the Yosuda Exercise Bike is so quiet, it may take getting used to. I'm pleased with this bike. I hope it last as many years as my Schwinn Exercise Bike.

★★★★★ Happy Returning Customer. Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is my second Yosuda stationary bike. I bought my first one when COVID started and it lasted five years while using it almost every day. I live in an apartment and it’s quiet also.

★★★★☆ Worthwhile purchase; but know that the NOT ALL MODELS ARE MAGNETIC. I purchased this stationary bike about 1 year ago (Classic Model), and it's had reasonable use between my different family members in the interim (few times per week, on average). It has been solid. Good weight to it, so it doesn't feel cheap while you're riding, and it's pretty quiet- not so quiet that I feel like I can ride at night next to my sleeping spouse; but quiet enough that I'm not annoyed by the sound while i'm using it. The tiny wheels in the front support ease of bike movement, though, I generally keep it in one place, so I can't assess how it or the floor holds up being moved around a lot. My biggest issues are fairly minor; the tablet stand feels/is flimsy and to me, feels like the aspect of the bike that received least consideration and/or resources; it feels a bit cheap and can vibrate a bit if you nudge it during a workout; however, it has not dropped my phone or table since purchase, so I can't complain that much about it. I had intended to purchase a magnetic braking system, and thought that I caught it at a really good price; however, I didn't review the details... some of the models (higher end) have a magnetic resistance system; while the less expensive models use "classic" friction. That being said; it still has worked well for me, and still feels like it provides consistent resistance throughout a workout. Some additional minor annoyances include: the heart rate monitor doesn't work well in my household; you have it hold it in just a certain way, then you feel like you're holding your breath while watching the heart symbol flash endlessly, to see if it will report a number; which only happens, at best half of the time; ultimately being more distracting and annoying than helpful. Also, the monitor is not very secure on the bike, so it will vibrate some while you're into your ride. I can't say that I've ever found a stationary bike seat particularly comfortable; but this seat is certainly no less comfortable than others. I'd also mention that bike maintenance (re-tightening bolts,...) has been fairly low so far (maybe every 4-6mo); and mostly related to the seat. The ability to make multiple seat adjustements is a double-edged sword for my household as we have multiple riders of different heights and arm/leg lengths. Would be easier if the adjustments were a little easier to make (dials/knobs) vs. screws/bolts. Overall I do like it and am still happy that I purchased it; though, I do think about whether or not I should have spent the extra $ and gone for the magnetic resistance system.

★★★★★ Quality Bike at a great price. This is such a great bike and at a great price! It’s extremely sturdy and sounds so quiet you can barely hear it. My husband just had double knee surgery and was recommended to purchase a bike to help therapy along. After looking at many others for wayyyy more money we decided to go with this one and take a chance. Once we purchased it we received 2 days later and put it together very quickly and easily. It came with detailed instructions and they even included extra pieces just in case. It looks great, does the job and not to big to be invasive in a room.So happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it!

★★★★★ Nice product. Fast shipping. Functional. Very quiet 👍🏼. It came like 3 days early, so the shipping was pretty fast. The directions were pretty direct and simple to follow. It didn’t take me too long to put together, and it comes with all the tools you need. The bike has a bottle holder, a phone and headphone holder and a place to put your bag in the front, also a place for an iPad or even phone which has suction cups to hold it on without falling which is pretty nice. The handle bars are adjustable, so is the seat. The seat adjusts up and down and can be tilted more upwards or downward.the bike is pretty functional and works properly. The wheels are very quiet which I love for when the baby is sleeping.Not too comfy though.. but not too horrible to sit on. I will say I don’t like the petals much where you’re supposed to put your feet.. so I use them upside down and it works fine for me like that. The red knob you can adjust to make peddling easier or harder which I like. There are two little wheels in the front to help move the bike around, it doesn’t fold or anything to be stored but can be moved pretty easy. It did come with this extra magnet thing that I have no idea what to do with.. but all in all I like it a lot and the color goes with the color theme of my house which I also like 👍🏼 I love that I have something to work my legs out pretty good. Nice product. It also has a battery powered digital little screen that tells you how fast, how far, and how many calories burned supposedly. Would recommend this bike. Pretty good and not too expensive.

★★★★★ Great Budget Bike – Easy Setup and Gets the Job Done. The Poobear indoor bike workout machine works really well, especially considering the low price. It covers all the basics for a solid home workout, and I’ve been really enjoying it so far.What impressed me most was how easy it was to put together. I’ve never built anything like this before, and it only took me about 30 minutes to assemble from start to finish.If you’re looking for a simple, affordable indoor bike that gets the job done without any fuss, this is a great pick. Definitely worth it for the price.Functionality:Works greatBuild quality:Only takes about 30 minutes and not difficult at allWeight:Not to heavy and one end comes with wheels so you can easily move it around if needed

★★★★★ Excellent Value and Quiet Performance – Highly Recommended. I recently purchased the Pooboo Exercise Bike, and I am extremely satisfied with my choice. The bike is built with good quality materials, making it sturdy and durable. I especially appreciate how quiet it runs, thanks to the magnetic/brake pad resistance system and belt drive. It allows for a smooth and silent workout, perfect for home use without disturbing others.The adjustable resistance feature is easy to use, enabling me to customize the intensity of my workout effortlessly. Plus, the price is very reasonable considering the quality and features offered. Overall, this indoor cycling bike is an excellent investment for anyone looking to stay active at home. I highly recommend it!

★★★★★ Tony but Mighty. I can’t believe how perfect this bike is. I’ve been putting off getting one because I was worried about the size, but this is only 20 x 40 inches and can be put pretty much anywhere. I was able to assemble it by myself in about 30 minutes. The resistance adjustment is responsive and fantastic. I was worried it may be a little wobbly but it’s quite sturdy, and I have it on an old yoga mat for extra protection. It’s been too hot to go outside for exercise and now I can sit on my bike and watch tv in my air conditioned bedroom. 10/10.

★★★★★ Great value. This bike was extremely well boxed. Instructions were very easy to understand to put it together. My husband is 6 foot and im 5' 5" and the bike is adjustable for both our heights. The seat is comfortable. We both like the design, the yellow just pops too! Feet are adjustable to make it sturdy. It even comes with a towel holder!! We liked what the reviews said and decided on this and are happy with our decision. We like the cage on the pedals too.

★★★★★ Good bike. This bike is exactly what I expected. And a good price. Easy to assemble. Works perfectly. I contacted customer service about an extra electric device they offer for free and they were very polite and promptly shipped it. I also inquired about different seats, and they sent a seat pad free of charge. I would definitely recommend it.

★★★☆☆ Kind of works, but not really on the most difficult setting. One thing I don’t like about this bike is when you put it on the most challenging, setting the magnet scrapes against the wheel and it sounds bad.

★★★★★ خامة جيدة وسهلة التركيب وسلسة فى التعامل معاها

★★★★★ Pros:Es muy bonita, cómoda y se ve la calidad de sus materiales.Llevo un mes utilizándola dos horas al día y para nada me lastima el asiento, lo normal de cualquier bicicleta. Es muy silenciosa, como a las 3 semanas rechinó un poco pero ajuste nuevamente los tornillos y listo.Hasta el momento la pantalla sirve muy bien, y no he tenido ningún problema con la batería.Las llantas que trae me ayudan a moverla con facilidad.Tiene muchos ajustes para personalizarla a tu gusto.Me encanta que tenga control para la intensidad, es muy funcional para el entrenamiento.Contras:Es pesada, considéralo si vives en departamentos por que subirla es algo complicado pero posible.Es un poco complicado entender el manual, pero en YouTube hay videos que te pueden ayudar.No creo que sea cómoda para personas muy altas.La entrega demoró más de dos semanas y mi pantalla venía un poco golpeada.

★★★★★ Excelente bici para empezar a hacer ciclismo, muy buena calidad, el tamaño es Perfecto, ni muy grande ni muy chica.

★★★★☆ وصف المنتج مكتوب فيه ان الفرامل ممغنطة حتى لا تحدث صوتا أثناء استعمال الجهازلكن الجهاز جاء بفرامل عادية تقوم بالاحتكاك المباشر مع العجلة مما يتسبب في حدوث صوت لكنه للامانة ليس مزعجًافيما عدا ذلك المنتج قوي وخاماته متينة وسهل التركيب وأنصح بهتقييمي له ٤ من ٥شكرًا أمازون

★★★★☆ Buen productoGran calidadSolo llegó con detalle golpe en parte inferior no afecta en funcionamientoNo sé regreso por el tiempo que tardo en llegarme

★★★★★ Great quality and affordable. Such a great investment! I bought a bike previously from Amazon and it was super flimsy and did not feel like a work out but this bike is very impressive. The resistance goes high, it’s heavy and stable, it’s a good size to even put somewhere in a corner and not take up too much space, and it’s easy to adjust to your needs. I use it 4-5 times a week and love it.

★★★★★ Really great exercise bike at a great price. The media could not be loaded. I have been looking for an exercise bike but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I'm also not big into subscription services like Peloton, so I just wanted a standard bike that worked well and didn't have all the extras to make it cost $500 or more. I found this bike and thought it might fit the bill and I should give it a try.First off, everything was packaged really well and protected, so I wouldn't worry about anything getting damaged during shipping. All the parts were organized and secured in the packing.Once I had everything unboxed, I started assembling the bike. The directions were clear and it only took me 15-20 min to complete. All the parts fit tightly and tools were included to help put the bike together. There was even a small thing of thread adhesive to use when screwing the pedals on to ensure they stay tight over use.The digital monitor that comes with the bike is pretty simple. It tracks time, distance (per ride and an overall odometer), speed, and calories. You can have it scan through each or set it to stay on one. You can also set targets (time, distance, or calorie) and it will count down during your workout. There is not a heart rate monitor, bluetooth, or anything fancy.All the adjustments work the same as any other exercise bike (seat height, seat forward/back, handlebar height, wheel tension), and have a good range to allow the correct settings for a range of heights/preferences. The wheel tension is a felt pad, so it is quiet while riding, and you can adjust it from a very easy ride with no tension, to a high effort workout. I also noticed that there is adjustments available to balance the wheel if needed. Everything was well balanced out of the box for me, but I was glad to see the option in case I need to tweak it over time.I've had the bike for a little over a week and have already put about 100 miles on it according to the odometer. It is more stable and sturdy than I expected for a cheap bike, but is still plenty light and easy to move around (there are wheels on the front that make this super easy).The thing I changed was the toe cages on the pedals. The cages that came with the bike were a bit too narrow for my shoes, but I do have fairly big feet, so I don't think it would be a problem for most people.Overall, I'm really pleased with this exercise bike so far, and am confident it will hold up over time.

★★★★★ Impressive. I needed a bike so that I could ride indoors for the Winter months. I didn't have a big budget and my husband found this spin bike on Amazon. I had a couple of sleepless nights before it arrived wondering how hard the assembly would be. For the record, I'm 72 years old and didn't feel like spending three days putting this bike together even though I am a DIY oriented person. I shouldn't have worried, it was a snap to assemble. The bike was so well packaged and the parts were so organized inside. The flywheel and belt were already assembled, thankfully. It was suggested to watch the YouTube video before assembling and that was a great idea. I probably had it all together in 30 minutes.What I'm most impressed with is the sturdiness and performance. This is not a lightweight piece of equipment. I've used spin bikes at the gym and this unit performs equally as well. A turn of the knob and you can smoothly change the resistance for a harder or easier workout. The LED screen keeps track of the basics of time, distance, etc. I love the tablet holder as I can stream TV while spinning. As for longevity, that remains to be seen but since I'm the only person using the bike it should last for good long time.This product is a great bargain for anyone looking to boost their fitness for not a lot of money. It's a perfect addition to my home gym.Review Update: Fast forward and it has been 3 1/2 months since I bought this bike. It is a gem. I have lost 25 pounds and feel great. I am closing in on 1000 miles and have increased the resistance considerably. I plan on keeping this up until I can take my road bike out in the Spring. The bike is just as sturdy as the day I put it together and it is so quiet I can watch TV while spinning. What a great way to exercise at home in Central New York where the Winter can be long and unforgiving. I'm so glad that I purchased this.

★★★★★ It's a basic bike, but does what it does well. I might update this review after a few months to see how well the drive belt holds up after some use, but my initial impressions of this bike, after riding it for about 15 miles over two days, are very good.The bike was shipped to me quickly and packed well. Assembly was quick using the video posted by Wenoker on Amazon as a guide; the bike was together in about a half-hour, plus a little extra time to set up the bike for a proper fit to my arms and inseam.The bike is solid. I noticed a squeak at first when riding - it came from the seat, and was quickly corrected with a little bolt-tightening. The drive train is DEAD quiet - you'll be able to ride the bike at any hour without disturbing the family. It doesn't come with a tablet, and its computer is a basic speedometer/odometer with a calorie counter. But at this price point, this is a good bike that performs the basic functions well.A few suggestions to would-be buyers:- Use a ratchet set with 13mm and 15mm sockets, instead of the open-ended wrench provided, to assemble the bike if you have one. You'll get everything tighter and more solid as a result.- Unless you really like toe clips on your pedals when riding, feel free to take the ones provided with the bike off. Your feet with stay on the pedals just fine without them.- The seat provided with the bike is an inexpensive one and is a little hard. It can easily be upgraded to a better-padded one, though.

★☆☆☆☆ Bike is small! I am 1,8 m and the size is small for me. There are not enough bolts - I cannot assemble it due to this. The box is very bad.

★☆☆☆☆ It doesn’t look like the picture

★★★★★ Wow! Great Price And Stability. Great price for stability and quality for this folding exercise bike. The assembly was easy but the instruction booklet sucks. Very poorly written. It's best that your follow the video. I had to keep rewinding the video to make sure that I was assembling the pieces of the bike correctly. All went well. I gave myself an A++ for assembly. I made sure that all screws, including the ones that were included in the preassembled parts by the company were very tight (some were not with the preassembled parts.)There was no noise when peddling the bike. Some unhappy customers mentioned that their bike made noise while peddling. (i kept my box until I first rode my bike.) All worked like clockwork.One customer's review stated that his wife had a difficult time getting off the bike. Apparently she was stuck. Before using the bike for the first time, you need to adjust the height of the seat as well as the distance between the peddler and the front bars before one starts peddling. Everyones' build is different. That is why there are adjustments! Dahh!!The bike is definitely not light weight. It's not like you can fold the bike with one hand!! Even thought the bike is foldable it is not real easy to fold only because of the weight factor.Personally I would recommend this bike for price and quality. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

★★★★★ BARWING, bar none! You get more than for what you pay for. Excellent bang for the buck. Have been using it for at least 2+ weeks now. The base is sturdy and stable. The seat is somewhat wobbly but it's because of its tilt adjustment nature -- any hinges that allows angle adjustment to the seat will tend to wobble. The wobble isn't that bad, just noticeable. I will point out below the relevance of this seat tilt feature, and why the "wobble" is a fair enough trade off for the "seat tilt" feature.The seat is usable enough for a 20-30 minute duration. Then the cushion becomes noticeably uncomfortable. But that's ok, I only need it for 20-30 mins anyway. More than 30 mins of cycling leads to muscle break down, so I keep it below 30. If you plan to use it beyond 30 mins regularly, you might want to invest on a seat cushion add-on.Equipment footprint is greatly understated especially when your trying to fit it in a small home gym set up.Assembly was pretty straight forward. Did it myself in about 2 hours.Resistance bands are a welcome bonus.The cycling motion is smooth, unstrained. Occasionally the left pedal will have a "sticky" point where it clunks, but sometimes it doesn't. I still have to figure out where it's coming from, although it does not take away from the function of the machine. It's just something I'm suspecting to be a potential problem in the future.I was looking through cardio/warm-up equipment for my home gym, and was deciding among 3 form factors: an elliptical, a stepper or stationary cycle.Most steppers for home set up use pressure valves. Smallest footprint between the 3 form factors. Unfortunately, most steppers have a very shallow step depth. The experience is not even close to stairmaster-type machines you find in the gyms. Most of these home units are the "in-front-of-the-tv" kind, not a set-up that's befitting an actual home gym, at least in my taste.Then there are the ellipticals. Ellipticals will take up the biggest amount of space in a small home gym setup between the 3, no matter how small of an elliptical it is. The bigger the elliptical, the more stable and reliable it is. If I had to choose an elliptical, it should have 3 things: a seat, a tablet/phone holder, and a smooth glide. The best way to find the right elliptical is to test it in store, then find the model online. Unfortunately with this COVID fiasco, store hopping to compare equipment isn't as accessible, so buying blindly online is obviously a higher risk. A few ellipticals online had what I was looking for, sans being able to test. Advantages of an elliptical is simultaneous upper and lower body motion while in an upright position, not just working extremities but also postural muscles.Then there's the stationary cycles: foldable bikes, spinning bikes, recumbent bikes, under-the-desk-cycles. A spinning bike was overkill for my needs, especially the price for well-rated spinning bikes. Recumbent bikes took the most space, just like an elliptical. Under-the-desk cycles, you spend more for what you're getting.Then there's the foldable bikes. Had to find the one that would fit my budget of under $200, and meet the basics of what I'm looking for: a tablet/phone holder, a small footprint, and a smooth ride. The footprint on this bike is great. Even when you open it up to "recumbent mode" the footprint is still small, compared to an actual dedicated recumbent bike, but you still get the recumbent seating profile. And the best part with this Barwing bike is that the seat has a TILT feature that allows you to levelize the seat so it can be horizontal (instead of tilted forward up) while in a recumbent position. MOST of these folding bikes DO NOT have this feature. And it makes all the difference in comfort. Imagine cycling for 20-30 minutes with the front end of the seat tilted and poking up -- sliding and pushing your tailbone back, curling forward the normal curve of your low back, and poking your inner thighs with that seat front protrusion.The backrest for this seat is also a great feature. You won't appreciate the value of a backrest on a stationary bike until you have one. For any bike that claims to be able to go into a recumbent position, a backrest is a MUST HAVE.Then there's the added resistance bands. These bands can now supplement upper body movements while cycling. Pretty much comparable to the purpose of upper body movements you get from an elliptical, but with more degrees of freedom: reach overhead, swing your arms back, to the side, do bicep curls, triceps kickbacks, shoulder flyes, etc.Obviously, you don't get postural muscle involvement in a stationary bike vs an elliptical, but this wasn't a primary consideration because it was just going to be a warm-up/cool-down and/or shredding phase cardio equipment.With this bike, I can use it in recumbent, semi-recumbent or upright, all in a small footprint.About the cycling resistance, I don't know yet. I should have tested the touted "magnetic resistance" but I have only used it on the zero setting for now, only because I use it as a warm up machine before I get into powerlifting/weight lifting.So far, a good product. A few improvements could have been made, but for about $179+ it's definitely a good buy for what you get.Highly recommended.

★★★★☆ It's efficient and works as advertised. This exercise bike is a good value for the price point. I have logged about 100 miles on it so far. Have not used in in the stand up pedaling mode. One caveat, as other reviewers mentioned, is the tensioner only goes up to 16 and I am using it on 13 and 14 already. It may be an adjustment on the tensioner would fix that. Be aware this base model is NOT magnetic resistance but rather the belt and pulley system of old. The magnetic units are around 250 bucks vs this one at 135. It is quiet and smooth operating. So far it is worth the money.

★★★★★ Fitness Bike. This it a great item. The fit and finish are excellent. Instructions are great and it easy to assemble using them. it even includes the tools needed for assembly. I am going to enjoy using it, I would recomend to everyone

★★★★★ bike. Got it for my husband for his birthday. Very nice quality for a decent price and takes up little room

★★★★★ Ba da bing ba da bang. Best value for your dollar EVER!!I've ridden exercise bikes for 15 years, and while it isn't as sturdy as one in a gym, it's perfect, and has two pulleys to work your arms as you pedal. I put it together in less than two hours, and it went together like a glove. And it looks great as well. Go for it!

★★★☆☆ Not For Seniors. I am 5Ft. 2". The bike is very well made. Sturdy. My problem was getting on the bike. The description doesn't say you have to lift your leg 16" over the bike center bar to get on it from the floor. I have arthritis and neuropathy, so my good leg struggled to get over it in the lowest open level. I rode the bike, but my dilemma was getting off the bike after the struggle to get on. My husband had to open the bike all the way, holding it from springing back so he could help me off. That was dangerous. I really wanted a fold up bike like this. When my husband went outside, I thought maybe I can maneuver myself to make it work. Well, that was a dumb ideaI. When I unfolded the bike, I pinched my finger a good one in the frame. Luckily, I was able to hold it back enough to get my finger out. My finger was bruised. Still hurts after 3 days, but it's not broken. I sold my recumbent floor Sunny. I wanted to sit more upright. The resistance bands are nice. It states for Seniors. Not for me. Returns are a pain. They want it boxed! It won't fit. Selling it on Facebook. Otherwise, we will have to take it apart, and box it. Ups will pick it up from your home. It is heavy. I guess I will be going back to a unfolding bike. Sunny has an updated one, with resistance bands, and the works for a good workout.

★★★★★ I'm so impressed with this bike. I was so hesitant to buy a bike in this price range. I thought it would be wobbly and cheap. I was totally wrong, this is so much better than I thought. Unbelievable value for the price! Very sturdy, love all the adjustments, love the weight pulls, this is just a bonus. It is extremely smooth, very quiet. I have sore knees and it's a lot smoother than a more expensive bike I was using. It was easy to assemble. Took about 1.5 hours and actually came with the screws in place so that was very helpful. I had no problem assembling and adjusting the bike. If you are hesitating to buy this bike, don't! You won't regret this purchase. I'm overweight and this bike is fine. The only issue I might possibly have is the seat is a bit hard (a bit uncomfortable). I put a towel underneath and it's fine. I will probably purchase a seat cover.

★★★★★ This exercise bike is a great product as it is very well made and was easy to assemble.
