VANSWE Recumbent Exercise Bike for Adults Seniors - Recumbent Bikes for Home with Magnetic Resistance, Bluetooth and App Connectivity, Pulse Sensor

The bike is great it's small quiet and does what you need. Sadly it's advertised as being compatible with kinomap and after trying for ages to get it to work I contacted kinomap. It does link to the bike via Bluetooth but there's no resistance at all. Kinomap have replied telling me that vanswe does not work on thier ap. You can connect via FTMS and follow the maps but that's it no resistance no difference whether on flat ground or on a hill. Kinomap said they will contact vanswe and see if they want adding to the compatibility list but have said the best thing when buying a bike is to check on the kinomap site first and look at the list of compatible makes. Sadly we did that after and its not on there. It's also not on the list of compatible zwift list either. But i havent triws yo connect it to that one 🤷‍♀️So I guess we will watch the scenery and increase the resistance ourselves. It's put a real downer on the bike to be honest because it is a great little bike and fits all of us here from 5' to my husband over 6' and takes the weight that was needed. If you're buying this to use in conjunction with one of the aps then look into it deeper first. Otherwise buy and enjoy 😊

I am more than happy with everything about this! I purchased it to help me with total knee replacement recovery. It was delivered when promised. My husband and I aren’t the handiest but one of the reasons I chose this one after reading tons it reviews was for the ease or putting it together. I can’t believe how well packaged this all came. Everything was numbered and sealed so no parts could be lost. I found a great video online that showed you step by step how to put it together. This, with the great written instructions made putting this together a breeze. Takes about 45 min but not hard to do. It seems to be sturdy but not bulky. I can get seated easily even with my bad knee. The seat is very comfortable. I am so glad I chose this one. It was reasonably priced and all the parts seem heavy duty and well made. It is also very quiet.

See updates below: This starts a review that I will update periodically for at least a year. I'd ask that others who have given 5 star reviews update their reviews so that a picture of long-term function and reliability can emerge. I was actually surprised at the excellent quality and "fit and finish" of this machine. Despite claims that the instructions are bad, I found them to be clear and straightforward (ignoring some minor text errors due to a non-English writer-- those don't affect the information). Assembly is easy enough for a 76 year old with a bad back to complete with no issues and in a short time (45 minutes is reasonable). Even the included tools are comfortable to use and didn't require going to my toolbox. Looks good and operates fine on completion. 5 stars but a few notes. Two areas of slight weakness: the slide box that controls the seat lock could use a stronger housing. No complaints shown in reviews that I saw, but time will tell. The computer is limited and requires extra hands-on to make setting changes and has a rather cheap feel. We'll see. The seat is reasonably comfortable but cyclists should note that the peddles (good quality!) Have an in-seam max distance of only about 29 inches. Height is irrelevant if you have long legs. In that case you would have to place the peddles under your arches rather than under the balls of your feet. For me, the distance at max is perfect. 6'+ individuals would need to accommodate. How the computer holds up is yet to be seen. But if it failed, I think the bike will still work without those functions displayed. I would want to find a replacement computer. 5/22/24: A month later, I'm still happy with this recumbent bike except for the "computer". As noted, it's a bit clumsy to use but acceptable if not for the failures I've observed. In addition to "Distance", one of the display items is "Odometer" -- continuous session by session accumulated mileage. This morning, it reset to 0 instead of the 67 miles over the past month. Accumulated mileage is important to me while trying to redevelop strength after several years of minimal activity due to injury. Another issue affects the "Heartbeat" sensor. The "instructions" say it may start at a false high rate, but should quickly settle down to real results. Mine has never started high but always starts at low 70s and works very slowly over about 5 minutes up to actual(?) heartrate. Not satisfactory, but not a key measure for me, so I'll leave my original review pending... The net is that the "computer" appears to be marginal at best. As long as the" bike" remains basically functional I'm satisfied -- others may have different needs. If the "computer" fails to properly monitor my session time and session distance, that would be a major hit although it could be replaced with a Fitbit, etc. That should not be a requirement. BTW, the instructions show how the bike can be used with fitness apps downloadable from an app store. Not of interest to me.

Excellent bike, would highly recommend, I’ve had mine for 3 and a half years and it works perfect. I ride it every morning and every night. All the features work like they are supposed to, never had an issue with anything. The wheels make it very easy to move from room to room . The seat is very comfortable not like others that are so hard and the back cushion is perfect too. If you want a recumbent bike, this is the one to get. Tested, used and approved for over 3 years. 👍👍👍

After 340 of 410 days riding and working out, I had dropped 50 lbs. Of course I worked on diet and used other exercise means. At that point, I had to have, in order: Stents placed (May 15) to increase blood flow to left leg, was able to ride a few times before having hernia June 18, then a 2nd endarterectomy-stent placed in other leg. After the 3 procedures, I was able to ride a few times before moving on to next surgery. Currently, now October, I'm back to riding quite a bit, at least 5 times weekly, 30, 40, sometimes 68 minutes. Still 50 lbs lighter, and now facing a new challenge, bladder cancer. After the initial step or 2 back, I've made my mind up to keep on keeping on. Recumbent, some lightweight routines every other day, some exercises to work hip muscles. BTW, after the ER visit that brought attention to the C word, I stayed at my son's place about 10 days (under observation). He has an old exerpeutic cycle I gifted him and I cycled daily. I can't tell you the middle of the back pain I went through. So, so very happy to be back home with this recumbent. For the Buck, this one is still banging loudly. My 2nd purchase (safety net) has never been opened. Survived my 13 month challenge. (13 months 2 weeks). Enjoyed this recumbent for 12 months and 2 weeks of my journey to a better me. Not a single problem. Tweets from pedals 2 times, solved with a spot of wd40. The odometer on mine has a mind of its own. NP for me. Ecstatic with purchase. Bought a back up a few months in, only as a replacement if something went wrong. Looking to sell it currently, as I'm feeling my no. 1 will last as long as I use it. 9 months, avg 26 days per month. 68 minutes most rides. no problems 66 yo senior male. Weighed 252 on March 31st, when I got back into my routine. 6' tall. By the 15th, I realized I returned to cycling (stationary cyclist for 35 yrs) too soon after surgery. Feeling good and not wanting to stop, I continued on the elliptical while I shopped for a recumbent. Settled on this one and rec'd it on May 13 or so. One Full Month in, June 14th, I've used it daily for 68 minutes minimum, 90 min max each session. I'm down to 228, feeling really good and Ecstatic that I purchased this sturdy, quiet, easy to assemble recumbent. Pretty easy for a big guy to move around, might be a bit heavy for some women. I made it a bit more comfortable by getting a memory foam cushion. For seniors or Anyone just wanting to get the blood moving, you can't beat this deal. I got it for 219$ on a flash deal. 2nd Full Month report card. 30 more days, 68 min per session. My normal 66 yo numbers are: 68 min, 600 cal burned. Right at 16.5 miles. I think I've only missed a day or two over the 30 day period. As a long time buyer of home exercise equipment that is easy on the pocket, I'm still holding this piece in high regard. Oh, since March 31st, I'm down 30 lbs which is a solid 2 lb per week, slow and steady. Tinkered with diet, mostly eating one ingredient items, I'm unable to walk more than 100 yards. Along with Tiffany Blair's toning and muscle building tubes on youtube, I'm completely done with XXL shirts, and with the crunches she shows you how to do, I've moved 4 holes on the belt. My end date to stop and take a look at myself, May 14th, 2025. Buy, don't hesitate. Before this recumbent, I had been a stationary cyclist for about 40 years. I love this thing. Easy on the backside also. 3 Full Month Report Card. Daily use, 68 minutes, another great 30 days. No problems whatsoever! Took only 2 days off, so it was a full month of good cycling. 3.5 month mark. All Good. Decided I like this recumbent so much, I bought a backup in the event my no. 1 encounters a problem. It's simply a safety net because there's nothing as awful as having to take time off while waiting for a replacement. Worse yet, loving a make and model and coming back to buy another and seeing that model is discontinued. 3.5 months, almost every day, 68 minutes at least. No problems. 4 Full Months Report Card. 68 minutes every day, only missing 6 days in last 4 months. Only trivial problems with this one, so I bought a backup just in case. Little baby bird like tweets from pedal area, solved with wd40. Trivial. The odometer on my no. 1 has a mind of its own. NP for me, but I know some folks like to complain about every little thing. Coupled with diet and core/toning stuff, I'm down 40 lbs and 5" off waist since commencing on March 31st. Never thought I'd enjoy any exercise as much as cycling, but I've grown to truly love this recumbent. Do know, I sit it in front of table with computer, I enjoy my coffee, and i get aerobic with flip flops on. Getting fit doesn't get easier. BTW, my A1C is down from 8.0 in late March, to 5.8 in Sept. My numbers, not looking to set records, 68 minutes, 600 cal burned every day. 7 months report card. 68 min per day. No problems. Over 45 lbs lost.

The price was reasonable compared to other stationary bikes with the quality. It is compact but very sturdy! you control the pressure of the petals. I am primarily using it now to strengthen my legs for knee surgery. I love the seat, it is very very comfortable, both the back & the seat. It is small enough that I put it in my living room off to the side so I can watch TV while exercising with it and it really doesn't get in the way.
