Feedback after training on this for the past 3-4 weeks.

Good overall.

Positives:
– Quiet for the most part, so it’s nice being able to work out in the early morning.
– Very compact, sturdy and stable. Fits perfectly in my small bedroom.
– Also very easy to put together by yourself, no need to ask others for help. The package had all the right tools to put this together.
– Adjustable handle and seat height. It has lots of levels so if you are looking to challenge yourself, this will do.

Negatives:
– the seat can be uncomfortable at first and can be squeaky at times, that’s the only part that tends to make noise,
– the pedals are very small, which can be annoying because feet can slip easily, and the additional protection for the pedals is just not comfortable. It just needs bigger pedals,
– it’s negligible, but the ultra heavy duty batteries that came with this device didn’t last more than 2 weeks, so I had to replace them. This is least of worries but don’t be surprised if you need to use your own AAA batteries.

I haven’t tried the app tracking functionalities as I have no need to use that, so I cannot provide feedback regarding that.

Definitely I would recommend getting this device if you’re just starting out and not trying to ruin your finances buying a popular brand name equipment that provides you with same functionalities.

Easy to assemble with very clear instructions.
I’m a female and I did this by myself in about an hour with distractions from my 4-year old. The bike is exceptionally well packaged and the parts are clearly labeled.
As for the bike itself. It’s near silent. Only a slight rubbing noise when you increase the resistance. The seat was very uncomfortable initially and I was worried I would be able to last longer than a few minutes. It’s that hard toward the narrow end but I adjusted the seat to point down and problem solved!
The iPad holder is pretty cheap and just snaps on. I don’t think I would actually trust my phone or iPad in this holder.
The monitor is also VERY basic. I don’t see a way to enter in my stats so the calorie count is pretty much useless but if you have a fitness watch or monitor than it’s no big deal and at least there is the distance tracker.
The slider adjustment on the seat is so slight that it’s not even worth adjusting. The seat only moves back and forward an inch so I don’t really see the point.
I feel hopeful about this bike. I did a brief test ride while adjusting the resistance between easy and hard and alternating between sitting and standing positions. After only 5 minutes I was breaking a sweat so I feel that this bike is a keeper.
I have two teenagers that also want to use it so it’s going to get more than normal wear and tear and I’m hoping it will hold up to the abuse.
Also. A note regarding maneuverability. I don’t plan to move this bike all over the place. I pretty much have a set location for it, but I did wheel it out of the way to lay the equipment mat down.
The maneuverability is awkward and rigid. The bike is heavy which makes it hard to raise without the wheels rolling away from you when you go to raise the back as well as challenging when your trying to prevent the raised end from slamming on the ground when you go to lower it. The wheels only turn in one direction (front and back) and not side to side so if you’re trying to maneuver within a small space, you’re going to find yourself in a situation where you need to do a lot of slight forward and back movements to get the bike to face a different direction.
Hope this helps everyone!
