HOMCOM Folding Exercise Bike, Fitness Bicycle Indoor Trainer, 8-Level Magnetic Resistance Adjustable, with LCD Monitor, Pulse Sensor

Bought this Exercise bike after reading the reviews on AmazonFor my needs it is perfect. At 83 years of age the old knees won't stand running and even walking a few miles these days has become too hard on the joints.The assembly was an absolute breeze with very clear instructions only took me 35 minutes including a coffeeFor the price build quality is really good it feels very safe and solid when I'm pedalling and feels well balanced.I was pleasantly surprised how quiet the bike is in use.The display is more than adequate for my needs although slightly disappointed with how long the batteries last.Easy enough to fold away but the unit is quite heavy, but using the wheels does help.My grandson who is a Personal Trainer and fit as a fiddle was really impressed with how much the bike cost and how solid it was.Overall I'm really pleased with my purchase.

I wasn't looking forward to putting this together so I did it a step at a time. My usual approach is to assemble things as quickly as possible and then I have to back track. However I followed the instructions IN DETAIL. I would definitely have had problems had I guessed.The only thing I missed was the instruction to fully assemble the pedals before putting them on. You MUST fit the pedal straps first as otherwise it's really difficult!I did find my all-purpose screwdriver with the hexagonalwas much easier to use than the supplied hexagonal Allen key.I also had a wonderful ratchet spanner which was so much easier than using the small supplied spanner.I haven't used the screen yet but I find the cycling very smooth and the seat is comfortable. I have used these bikes in gyms and this compares really well, which I didn't expect as the illustration looked as if it was rather small. However it's a perfect size and very safe and solid. My 6'4" husband uses it comfortably.A real bonus is the ease at which you can move it. I can fold it and wheel it to another room and out of site. I didn't even know that was a possibility until I saw this machine.It's early days but so far I highly recommend it. There's no obvious reason for spending more so I'm delighted I didn't spend more.Finally, the exercise is already making me feel better. I use it whenever I have a few minutes rather than doing an exhausting workout which just isn't always practical.

Lovely item and quite pleasing on the eye, not as bulky as some. Fits nicely into its designated space and folds easy enough for storage. Easy-ish to assemble but some of the screws etc are a bit fiddly. Downside to this item is the seat isnt very comfortable on the inner thighs but apart from that it is well worth the money paid.

Context: I put up with a full-sized running machine that weighed tons for ten years. It dominated my music room using about a third of the space. Because it was expensive I spent much of my time trying to stop it making bangs and clanks that put me off running on it. In the last year, with Covid, I couldn't sell it. The other day it began to stop dead without warning which is just lethal. Finally I'd had enough and dismantled it then scrapped it.However, I still wanted to exercise whilst watching Netflix so I got this little bike and I have a good feeling about it. Firstly, it isn't expensive so it isn't such a worry or a commitment. It is sturdy but not all that heavy so I can wheel it to the side of the room out of the way. It isn't hogging all my space. I was delighted to find I didn't even need to fold it to do this. See picture.It's a small assembly project which seemed very straightforward to me. The left pedal screws into place anti-clockwise and the right goes on clockwise. There's not a fault to the design. The bits fit. Just try turning the left one in the 'wrong' direction and it will go on.The instructions are highly specific with numbered parts in diagrams and the bolts and nuts arrive sealed in a plastic pack so there are the exact number required.I find a big cushion makes the hard seat less firm but this may be more about me not having ridden a bike of any sort for 25 years. If you're not used to it it takes a bit of getting used to.An omission in the instructions manual which is mostly very good is that the console isn't explained. Therefore I can't set the clock. There's only one button that cycles (no pun intended) through Kilometres, and other readings. It's not that they don't work. It's that I have to guess which thing is which.However, I still rate this bike highly because it's great value, I love the red and white paintwork. The resistance seems okay to me as I'm no cyclist. Maybe I'll need more resistance one day but for now this is fine.After spending over a grand on a running machine that made Ginger Baker sound quiet, one really good thing about this bike is that it's practically silent. If I'm watching a programme on TV I can't hear it at all. The mechanism seems faultlessly smooth.I have no doubt that machines that cost more should be better but I'm also sure that this sweet little exercise bike is quieter, neater, less obtrusive than my old equipment and makes me smile. I'm relieved to have finally banished the banging monster of a full-sized running machine in favour of this dinky gem that doesn't dominate my room.Those are my first impressions. Will it stand the test of time? Fingers crossed. It's a good start, though and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this bike.
