Very easy to assemble
By S. Mason on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2024
1st update: 8.2.2024 Let me clarify a few things. We live in a small house and I wanted a bike that wasn't huge and folding was a plus. I got this bike because I need to walk 20 minutes 3 times a day every other day because of venous insufficiency in my legs. It's miserable to walk outside, especially in compression socks, because we live in South Texas where summer is 8 hot and humid months. If you want a bike with all the bells and whistles, buy a $1,000 bike. This is a nice basic affordable stationary bike. What I like: it doesn't take up much space so I haven't had to put it away yet. It's quiet. Very quiet. The display panel is basic with time, distance, calories and it does not have backlight (not a showstopper for me). The bike has a back rest and handholds on both sides of the seat (both are mandatory for me). The seat is as comfortable as you can get with most bikes. The distance to reach the top and lower handholds is good. The challenge for me is my height is 5'1" so I need the seat low. I had a total knee replacement last year so that knee is not as flexible as it used to be and I had to figure out how to safely get up and over the crossbar because of these restrictions. I put a child's non-slip stool near the right pedal (TKR was right knee), hoist myself up and over the crossbar to put my left foot on the left pedal, slide the stool away from the bike to just clear the right pedal, and I ride the bike. Getting off, I repeat the process in reverse order. This is really just a learning curve because it gets easier each time I ride the bike. I took off the remote control/phone holder because I just couldn't easily clear the cross-beam getting on and off the bike. I didn't need it there anyway although I might fabricate something to hold the remote on the top handholds. I am pleased with this purchase. If anything changes, I'll update the review. 07.25.2024 This first part of the review is for assembly only. Another review will be appended to this one after I use the bike for awhile. The instructions were very easy to read and understandable which is a rarity these days. Most of the nuts and bolts were already pre-mounted on the bike which made it very easy to put together. Wrenches and screwdrivers were included. The pictures were accurate with the right numbering. Elapsed assembly time was about 45 minutes including chatting about how easy the bike was to assemble. Bike seems to be well made with high quality steel. Once it's put together it's firm, not wiggly. More to come after I use the bike for awhile.

Not bad for the price
By Eddyson Bunner on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2023
I bought this bike to workout at home while pregnant and postpartum. I needed something inexpensive because with a baby on the way I needed to stay active for my mental health but not spend a lot. I like the back support that comes with this bike and the bars up front and sides of the bike so i can place my hands in different areas. I can easily watch a show and zone out while burning calories. Plus it is easy to set up and store as i live in a 1 bedroom apartment this is a major plus. Now the things i do not care for, it is a little difficult to get on and off the bike. I have a small stool i use in the kitchen that i place beside the bike to get on and off. I am a 5’1 woman about 115 lbs before pregnancy. So i am use to being short for most things but it still feeling kinda wobbly and scary getting on and off. I feel like thats kinda dumb for someone who doesn’t weigh near the amount of the bikes weight limit. So just be aware. Secondly yes the other reviews are correct. My butt is not that big and this seat is not very comfortable. You will feel it the next day like your crotch is sore. Putting a pillow down or behind does not help because the seat is too small to even accommodate a small pillow being there too. Also, the left wheel will click in different ways. I don’t really care about the noise as i can drown it out with the tv or a fan. But i can feel it under my foot and it is distracting. All in all I didn’t expect gym grade or anything for what i paid. But all of the problems combined is a bit annoying. I would have bought a less expensive treadmill from academy sports (which i have in the past) that works better and burns more calories. The only reason I didn’t was because i do not have the space in my apartment. It hasn’t broken down on me yet or anything but i have only used it 3 times for less then an hour each time and can tell you these issues. So just be cautious when buying. If these things you can live with for the price, go for it. If not, keep looking.
