I read through SO many reviews on different stationary bikes through Amazon. I came across this and saw the videos and reviews of people mostly praising it, but others complaining about it being noisy and the seat being uncomfortable. I decided to buy it, the price was good and if it really was that bad then I'd just return it. When I got it, the instructions were SUPER EASY! Took me 30 mins to build it, could take longer if you really wanna take your time though. Tried it out and it's not noisy at all; it's super quiet and it feels sturdy. The seat is not uncomfortable, so I'm not sure what the other reviewers were complaining about. In all honesty, the only drawback is that at its highest resistance, it's not that challenging. However, I feel that I got a good 30 min workout and is exactly what I needed to add to my home gym. I love that it folds and doesn't take up much space. Definitely happy with my purchase and recommend it to anyone looking to get a good cardio workout. If you are incredibly fit and do lots of biking then this might not be for you (the resistance drawback mentioned above). I'm happy with it and looking forward to losing some weight.

I was looking for a bike to enable me to add movement to my life during idle time (i.e. while watching tv or while dinner is in the oven). I carefully went through the options and reviews and this one had very good reviews. I was looking for something foldable and compact, easy to assemble, quiet and sturdy (I am on the heavier side). This bike fit all the bills! I was so excited when it arrived that I didn't even wait for my husband. I actually put it together myself (so that tells you it was easy to assemble). I immediately jumped on and did a 20 minute workout. It is quiet, folds into two different options, high bike and a lower option. When I was done I folded it and put it in a small corner of my bedroom. It is super sturdy and quiet. The only downside is like other reviewers said, the seat is very uncomfortable after a while so I will do 20 minutes at a time moving forward. When it gets uncomfortable I will just get off and do other exercises and then go back to the bike. But I was pleasantly surprised the quality for the price I paid.

I think the quality of the bike is pretty good for the price point and I had little trouble assembling it in roughly an hour. No missing parts, but one bolt wouldn't align with the hole on the backrest (Step 5) so I only used three bolts instead of four. I'm 6'1 and fluctuate between 228-230 pounds. For someone larger than average I would state that durability could be a concern and - for certain - so is physical space/clearance. The small scale of this bike makes it ideal for an average-sized man or woman. It is tight to step through to get on and off the seat, especially in the upright position. I did, however, want an upright and recumbent option because I slowly strained my back working out daily for years. That is, the prior bike I was using didn't allow me to sit high enough and my posture was not correct putting undo stress on my back. This bike at the highest seat setting does just make it so the seat is aligned with my hips (when standing) which is the right height to allow proper back position. I do like the back rest and I don't find the seat terribly uncomfortable. Finally, the bike wobbles slightly (no real noise) and I only use a 5 setting for resistance. I keep my back up straight and do not lean over to use the bars at the console and I also listen to music and 'air drum' to 80s heavy metal which is even more of a workout. It might look stupid but try it sometime. So, all in, for me and my workout it seems to be suitable (enough) and better for me than the prior bike. Also, I totally do not use the pedal straps my feet are too big to fit them comfortably. I think if you are a larger person than my height/weight you might look for another bike. Cheers.

I assembled this in a slow, easygoing manner, and it took about 45 minutes and was not frustrating. You might be faster. This is a stationary bike for normal use. It isn't going to tolerate or accommodate extreme behavior. For example, the pedals are plastic. They are strong, but if I stood up on them and pedaled like mad, they (or at least the straps) would give out eventually. I am large, but I don't recommend standing on the pedals. And if you constantly readjust the straps, like for multiple users in a household, I'm sure the plastic fasteners will eventually wear out. The seat is not like a bicycle saddle, which is good for casual users. It is slightly uncomfortable on the back of my thighs, but only a little. I am 6'2" and 300 lbs, and feels perfectly stable and firm. No creaking, groaning, or shifting. Pretty good for a device that only weighs about 40 lbs. At first I didn't think the magnetic tension was high enough, but as I pedaled more, I kept adjusting the resistance downward, because I want a longer cardio workout, not massive quadriceps. If you want resistance like the slopes in San Francisco, where you would be standing on the pedals, this machine won't do it for you. But there's plenty of tension for normal folks who want a 15+ minute workout. The distance from seat to pedals, at maximum height, is not quite long enough for me. On a bicycle, one's legs should extend fully when the pedal is at it's lowest, or that's what I've always been told. Mine don't. If the user was 5'8" (down to about 5'2"?), I expect their legs would extend fully. I don't really mind, I just want an afford, space-efficient workout, and that's what I've got. The instructions are in slightly amusing, badly translated English, but they are correct. Be aware that the bolt and nut for one pedal are reverse-threaded and the opposite ones aren't. Beyond that, no real problems in assembly. All tools are included, and the bolts and washers are separated, so I just snipped them off the ones I needed with scissors, at each step. They are all clearly identified. There are no spare bolts or washers, so cover your floor vents. The secondary handlebars on either side of the seat I have no use for. I didn't install them, which makes the machine even narrower when folded, so I like that. The seatback falls foward easily onto the seat when nobody is sitting, saving a little vertical space when folded (though the front handlebars are taller anyway). The display runs on two AAA's (included), but you don't need the display for the bike to work. It will hold a phone where the display is, so you can time yourself with a phone and forget the display, if you prefer. Or use the phone to check stock prices while you ride. I really prefer focusing on the exercise itself. The machine is perfectly silent. You could use it while someone was sleeping in the room, if your clothes are similarly quiet.Overall I am very pleased for the price. Wish it was taller, but then it would have to be wider and heavier as well.
