YYFITT Foldable Fitness Exercise Bike with Resistance Bands, 16 Magnetic Resistance Levels with Pulse Sensor, Phone/Tablet Holder with Smooth and Quiet Cycling

After two years of daily cycling on my old exercise bike, I realised that i needed more resistance and a greater distance between the saddle and the pedals, so I traded up. Firstly, this bike offers 16 resistance levels as opposed to the usual 8 on other bikes. I would not say that it doubles the resistance of other exercise bikes, but it does make for a harder workout. Secondly, this bike is slightly higher than a "standard" size, meaning that I, at 5ft 8, can now stretch my legs completely while pedalling. Thirdly, It is very comfortable to use, with a backrest and backrest handle for added support. The saddle is also cushioned and comfortable. Once seated, it may be necessary to use the handles at the back to position yourself more comfortably. It is also silent to ride and folds up easily so that you can store it in a much smaller space. Finally, the computer which tracks your distance, speed, calories and pulse has a very large readout which is easy to see. This bike is really a pleasure to ride.However, there are always slight drawbacks to every product, so I'll mention them here. Firstly, someone who is a lot shorter than my 5 ft 8 might find it difficult to mount the bike in the first place as the crossbar is quite high. Secondly, and maybe importantly for some, this exercise bike needs a lot of screwing together. However, I am a 57-year-old dyspraxic woman who is none too practical and always confuses right with left, and I managed to conctruct it with no help. All the tools are provided, as is a clear booklet with instructions and a link to an instruction video. It took me about one and a half hours but it was well worth the effort. I have no doubt that less practically challenged people will accomplish this a lot quicker than me.Just a note about the resistance bands for your arms: very sturdy but a little too hard to use for me. I was worried I would rick my back. I would suggest using these with caution if your top half isn't quite as sturdy as the waist down.I am so glad i bought this bike!

I am extremely satisfied with this exercise bike. It was super easy to assemble, with clear instructions, and I had it up and ready to use in less than 20 minutes. The best part is how quiet it is – I can work out without disturbing anyone, even if they’re in the same room. The smooth pedaling and sturdy build make every ride enjoyable. For the price, this bike is worth every penny. It’s perfect for both beginners and seasoned riders. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, quiet, and affordable home workout solution!

Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. My partner and I assembled it quite easily, it’s very easy to fold up and stow, and it’s quiet when using. I like the bands, though they’re a bit too strong for me to do anything but biceps. For fitter men, they may be too easy. Also, I dont think the pulse reading is correct - it does not match my Fitbit, which is always bang on when I get my pulse taken at the GP. But, as I do have my Fitbit, I’m not at all bothered by this issue. My one huge problem is that the bike only folds up if the seat is on the highest option - which is too high for me, so I have to adjust the seat before and after using it if I want to stow it out of the way. The seat is relatively easy to adjust, but does require squatting down or getting down on knees. I’m getting used to it, so overall I’m very happy with my purchase!

I am absolutley pleased with this machine, easy build, easy to use. This is not a flimsy lightweight, but a well thought out, well constructed piece of kit but still very manoeuvrable. Would buy again if I had to, but I think it's going to be many years before it comes to that. Love it. Thank you.PS I'm an 85 years old disabled widower if this helps make your mind up.

This bike provides a great workout. Our only complaint is that it would be nice to get a little stronger resistance level, but it's a small complaint. The back support and side handles allow you to really dig in to the peddling, and offer an upper body workout by pulling up and back in various ways as you peddle. The resistance bands are great, too! We use them after a cycling workout, not at the same time. We also bought a memory foam padded seat cover, which makes it a very comfortable workout. Highly recommend!

Bought for my wife to do some light exercise on her retirement and she loves it. Easy to assemble, very sturdy, folds and moves from room to room with ease and the display is simple and informative. Suprised how cheap it is.Now for the negative bit and some advice for anyone else who has problems with the bike. We assembled the bike on delivery but found the display wasn't working, only displaying pulse. Following a phone call to Amazon customer services I was directed to message the seller. The seller advised I change batteries and reply if this was effective. It wasn't and I messaged the seller but recived no reply despite re-messaging. After waiting a few days I re-contaced Amazon customer services who were great - told me to repackage the product and return - they arranged collection and emailed me a returns label. The refund was in my account the same day and I re-ordered the bike. Don't worry if you don't have all the packaging as Amazon ask that it is packaged as best as possible (we'd disposed of polystyrene). Must be costly for the seller. Replacement bike is fantastic.

It was easy to assemble even for a DIY duffer like me. I found the supplied tools perfectly adequate It is very stable and has a comfortable saddle. You may need a step to mount and dismount if you are getting on a bit or have limited mobility. I liked having the rear bars and the backrest, I was able to change position when my back was getting a bit stiff. It gives you detailed feed back of your efforts and has multiple settings for a more vigorous workout. Highly recommended.
