“I bought this bike to do a daily exercise after breaking my femur badly, my consultant told me it would be the best exercise. The bike is solid, it was easy to put together and doesn't take up too much room.”

“This exercise bike is very well built (and it was well packed for delivery). It is easy to assemble, easy to adjust for exercising and is also very comfortable. Folding is simple. The seat is very comfortable. I have just one minor comment - the stabilising rod has a spherical knob which makes it easy to grip to remove but it catches on my shoe when I am exercising. My wife also finds it easy to use. In short, it is absolutely first class.”

“This bike was very easy to assemble, just a bit of thought and looking at diagrams required to identify which foot was for the front and back of the bike, and attaching the seat requires a bit of patience as the tool provided is not the best for this job. I'm just over 5' with short to normal length limbs and torso for this height. The lowest seat height suits me well for cycling but I do need to tiptoe and climb onto the bike, rather than just sit on it - it's not a problem for me. The computer works well and provides all the information I would need about my exercise sessions. It is quite compact and I seldom need to fold it away, but that's easy to do and the weight is quite manageable. My only complaint about the bike is the saddle which I find too broad - it's nothing like a regular bike saddle, more like a seat with cut outs which isn't the best shape for supporting the bum while you pedal - it could do with being more rounded so the bum and legs can move freely with the pedalling motion, not be restricted by the flat seat. I've been sitting forward more on the narrow part to give me the room my bum and upper thighs need for the pedalling motion, I just hope this doesn't cause problems with my knees later on. It is still a good exercise bike, but an improved seat design would make it a very good, possibly outstanding exercise bike for the money.”

“Easy to put together folds up easily”

“The bike arrived the day after it was ordered. The package was a little heavy at one end when lifting it in to unpack (I am mid 60s female) but manageable. Putting the parts together was easy and once the saddle was adjusted to suit my height I have enjoyed using it regularly in the first week. So far I am completely satisfied with my choice of bike. I leave the bike set up so cannot really comment about its fold ability but that original sense of it being heavy at one end is still noticeable if I wanted to move it. I would not want to shift it on a regular basis but it's doable. I think if it was any lighter in weight it would not have stability .....and it feels very stable when in use. I am not particularly concerned about the computerised read out whilst pedalling but it is straight forward to use. For me, the most impressive thing is how very quiet it is when pedalling. All in all a great purchase at a great price and I would happily recommend it.”

“Very easy to assemble with good instructions. I'm 5ft 9in and just had bilateral total knee replacements so I needed an exercise bike for rehab. I've found it very lightweight for such a stable machine and very comfortable to ride. Can certainly recommend this exercise bike.”
