Michelle: I bought this bike back in December but wanted to see how it held up before reviewing. I've put over 500 miles on the bike in the last 2 months and it is still working perfectly! I read a few reviews that said the bike got loud after a few months but as of right now mine is still whisper quiet. I love that it folds up and moves with ease using the rollers on the front. I keep the bike in my bedroom and it hardly takes any space at all. It's super quick to set up and to fold back up. I weigh about 200 pounds and the bike feels incredibly sturdy and holds well in both settings. Overall this has been a great purchase!

Bee: I was worried that this product was going to be flimsy and weak seeing as it is on the cheaper side of exercise machines, but it is not! The product did come in a LOT of pieces, which was why I had to only give 4 stars, but it definitely is worth the time and effort. I am 330+ pounds/5’1” and this product holds my weight very well. It was a little difficult to get on at first because I am on the shorter side, but once on, everything feels awesome. I store it in my closet and it folds up really well. I had it stored on the side of my bed and only took up a little space. The machine itself is made really well! Steel and plastics. The seat is sturdy with some movability to it, the peddles work well and have different settings, the arm exercise bands(connected) are awesome too when you want to just watch tv but still get that exercise in. It has wheels(internal) that are solid and work VERY well. They don’t get in the way of storage or anything. The only thing I wish was a little better is that the monitor is battery operated. I do wish it were a charging one instead but I can’t really complain because it only takes 2 AAA batteries(which come included).

mpwintermpwinter: This bike is amazing!!! It was shipped and arrived almost next day. The diagrams are easy to read and the bike was a dream to assemble. (even for a 73 yr old) It is easy to change the position from recumbent to upright and to fold it up. It is an unobtrusive design and can easily be left out in a room. I'm leaving it in the living room so that I can watch tv and pedal. It is super quiet and doesn't make any noise. I love the added feature of the arm pulleys so that I can burn more calories. I mainly bought this to use after my upcoming knee replacement surgery. I know it will help tremendously.
You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

UPDATE: I am 5'9'' tall and it's all legs. Since I got the bike in prep for my knee replacement, I am finding that I cannot extend the seat post high enough )it's in the last hole) to avoid bending my knee too much. I just cannot extend my leg out the way one would expect on a bike. I find myself leaning back as far as I can in order to pedal adequately. The bike is supporting me fine in that position but the backrest is not comfortable for someone in that position.

Dama: Pretty good little bike for the money. It's definitely a good workout, compact, and easy to assemble. The display is in KM which doesn't bother me because I look at the time. The calories are bound to be off because they don't account for the resistance setting you have on the bike, I just notice it says I burned a calorie about every seven pedals no matter how high the resistance is.

I have two complaints, the biggest one being that the seat just straight up hurts my lower back, inner thighs and butt. The recumbent setting is not truly recumbent, just a weird slant that strains my back. I put a thick quilted pillow sham over the seat and back which helps, but I can't manage more than 30-40 mins of use because it's painful. My husband says it doesn't hurt him, but he's tiny and has no butt and also hasn't tried to stay on it for very long. It also makes a bit of a knocking noise sometimes that comes and goes.

Other than that, I'm really glad to have this great indoor workout when it's 100 degrees out and the gyms are closed due to Covid19.
