Very sturdy and easy to build up exercise bike, plenty of adjustment in the seating possition so it makes it very easy to get a comfortable ride on the very well padded saddle, 8 levels of smooth resistance gives it enough scope for beginners to have no difficulties getting into fitness, a basic but easy to use computer is mounted at eye level and all in all it is a very good bike for the price.

So I researched an exercise bike for a while and through not wanting to pay loads of money as this was my first bike in the end it came down to trusting the Amazon reviews and I liked the fact this bike was said to be sturdy unlike quite a few other options. With this bike you definitely get what you pay for and more! It’s excellent good strong bike I’m 6ft 5 and 14st with a bit of a belly. My only complaint is after the first 5km your bum doesn’t half hurt so I’d suggest buying a seat cover with this. Other than that it’s perfect comes with a nice rack under the control panel perfect for your iPad or tablet. Heart rate moniter is accurate but think I’ll just use my Apple Watch. For its price I’m definitely surprised I expected it to have more flaws but after buying and reading reviews I’d have to say money well spent for someone who doesn’t get out to gyms much and is too busy. The tension control too is what I’d expect at a gym there not too easy number 8 is deffo a hard work out.

Instructions: Pretty easy to follow and assemble. It took around an hour. Take a picture of the screws labelled on the cardboard it comes with or it may take longer to follow the assembly instructions. Bike tension: Very good! 1,2,3 are almost non existent. 7 and 8 are very strong. I'm not sure why other customers have complained about it - average bikers will be pleased with the tension. I did a 30km cycle with the tension set on 5. This was a very good workout. Seat: Everyone will be different but my bum was falling asleep so I had to lift myself up every so often. Not ideal for long cycles so I'll be buying a seat cover to resolve the comfort. The height can be adjusted. I'm 5 foot 8 and was happy with it. Taller people should hopefully have no issues with the bike. Seat update: replaced the bike seat with my previous exercise bike due to the lack of comfort. Gel cover did not offer much more comfort. Bike pedals: Fairly quiet, you could easily watch tele or listen to music without the bike bothering you. The straps are secure and can be adjusted to your liking. Bike computer: It measures distance in KM. There are different modes you can tell the bike to stay on (e.g calories, time, distance etc ). I used my Samsung watch to compare the heart rate measurement with the bike. The bike was pretty close with my watch (couple bpm off but I was slightly surprised it was close to my watch). Average bikers will be happy with this purchase. Its excellent value for money. 4/5

I had to return a new excercise bike I purchased from Argos for a similar price as it was rubbish. This bike is far superior. Clearly built to last and good quality. Very quiet in operation. Large display. Construction was not too difficult. Only issue was connecting the tension control cable as its a bit of a fiddle. Other than that; I fully recommend it. Update: I had an issue with the display going off. Contacted the seller and a replacement display was with me within a week. Cannot fault the service. Excellent.

I chose very carefully, looking at many different types in cheaper price ranges but went for this one as I felt it looked heavier and more sturdy, I’m really pleased with it, it was very easy to put together, all nuts and bolts in a blister pack card with a picture printed underneath each type so easy to identify, clear large instructions, the whole bike is sturdy and very nicely made, everything feels well designed. Trying it out it feels beautifully smooth and soft, very quiet to the point of silent, the resistance knob works very well..my main concern having read many other brands don’t work well, the seat is very comfy, I had a bike before and even with a gel seat it was uncomfortable, this one is padded and comfortable. It’s nice and upright and I didn’t want to slouch whilst cycling and watching tv. It has a rolling wheel shape on the front bar so it helps you push it around if necessary, it’s quite heavy but that is in its favour, So I am absolutely thrilled and I would buy this again without hesitation. Packaging was very good too. Great!

I love it! I have a serious lung condition and do what I can to keep active. I use an oxygen concentrator to exercise and just felt too noticeable at my local gym. This bike is a game changer for me. It's compact enough to fit in my little flat but serious enough to help with my fitness. I spent a stress-free hour constructing it - all tools included, instructions clear and concise. So far I've only used it for 5 minute rides before and after my daily workout. I especially love that the seat easily adjusts back and forth as well as up and down, and that it has a large, padded seat. Near silent running doesn't disturb my neighbours. The onboard computer is easy and useful, with a little shelf for your own device or book. It has 8 resistance settings on a sensibly placed dial just above the water bottle holder. The whole thing feels very sturdy.

I'm 6ft with an inside leg of 36". I bought this on the back of the positive reviews on here that the seat height would accommodate my leg length. It doesn't. With the seat at full length my legs are nowhere near the required correct extension for cycling. Be warned and don't make the same mistake I did. Otherwise, it's simple and easy to put together, very quiet, good display which also holds a tablet device easily, good range of intensity and easily changed whilst cycling, and the saddle is reasonably comfortable. Other than the height issue for me, this is a good bike.
