G500 Folding Cycling Exercise Bike Indoor Fitness Training X Bike Lightweight for Home Cardio Workout, with Flywheel and Arm Resistance Bands (Aqua Flywheel)

I was a bit sceptical when I ordered this because there were no reviews to go by. However, I wasn't disappointed. It's everything I wanted. I am 73 and in lockdown so needed to exercise. It came really quickly. My husband assembled it straightaway (which took a little while) but Hey, I was then ready to go. I have placed it in front of an open window to let air in, I can read a book if I should so wish, or watch TV.I'm sorted! Thank you.

Had been waiting for months to find a good foldable stationary bike but most were sold out or unavailable due to the coronavirus and how everyone must have had the same idea to get one. Since the gym closed, I really needed this. I kept checking and finally found this bike and took a chance on the two excellent reviews. It arrived in no time, was so happy! I highly recommend this seller. I was skeptical about the assembly as never done this before but my 16 year old girl helped and the instructions were so easy to understand and we had the bike assembled in less then an hour as we took a break and took our time. Very happy with the sturdiness and my girl uses it as well and is really pleased and does not take up too much space and easy to move with the wheels. It is also very quiet and the seat is wide and comfortable.

I had intended to leave it longer before reviewing but there’s a few things that need to be highlighted.I bought this to help my recovery from long Covid. I needed something that would move my legs without straining my lungs. For that purpose alone, it’s good... however:1) This is not built for long legs. I’m 6ft but have fairly long legs, and can only use this in with the seat at its highest and in 1 position or I smash my knees into the handle bar.2) Reclining equipment is normally used to be more supportive, less strain on the body. Do not use this in the full recline if you have any issues with your neck, back or core. The back rest is not tall enough to support your spine safely.3) Ignore the speed. Despite the manual, the speed is NOT miles per hour, it’s kilometres per hour. In flip flops, it thinks I’m going 30mph? I used to do a lot of road cycling and could barely hold 30mph on a flat road with a back wind! That said, I’m recovering from 14 MONTHS of inactivity, I don’t believe for a second I’m currently pedalling at 18mph. I could average that at good fitness. This then leads into...4) Ignore the distance. If the speed is wrong, then so is the distance.5) Most the resistance settings feel the same between 4 and 8. Below 4 is uncomfortable as there’s so little resistance it causes your body to rock. Probably fine for older users but...5) Be ready to be quite agile getting on and off, especially if you have issues with balance, knees or hips - my 74 year old Mum was too nervous to try and get on it after seeing how high I had to lift my leg to step across. I also tripped off it by getting my foot caught in the side handles (but that could be a long leg/high seat combo)It works for me with my current health but I feel like it have a very limited window of value. If those points don’t matter, then it’s a neat bit of kit that’s easy to put together & burn some calories while watching tv.

This is an initial opinion review which I will update after a month or two of use.My partner and I decided it would be great to get an exercise bike to get some sort of exercise during the pandemic. This bike seemed to have some of the best overall reviews and for the price it looked like the one to go with.I've just finished building it and had a quick go on it. My very first impression on the build is not great.It's pretty easy to put together and for the most part, the quality seems ok. One place where that really falls down is the seat. Once built, the seat is part of a separate frame which slots into the main body of the bike and is then held in place by a locking screw which doubles as the height adjustment knob.However, the part which the seat is attached to is significantly smaller than the tube that it slots into in the bike, so even once the knob is tightened up as far as it will go, the whole seat and side handle unit just rocks side to side, quite significantly and without any weight or pressure.This isn't a great start.As for the performance itself, it's too soon to give a proper review of that. It works, that much is apparent, but even at the highest tension it's still a fairly easy peddle so don't expect too much resistance on this bike.As I said, I'll update after some proper use and will include photos and maybe a video.

Sturdy and stable, which gives the recipient confidence so they can get on and off the bike without feeling nervous. Has a useful rack to put a Kindle or tablet to read whilst exercising. We aren't using it for Olympian fitness, just for a gentle workout to get the heart rate up a little and joints exercised, and it's perfect for that. I can't speak for its abilities under a lot more pressure but there's no reason to think it can't.

I love this bike, it’s really easy to use, folded away nicely in the corner of the room well. The seat is comfortable, and back support great when sat up, but still a little seat discomfort on longer cycles. Love the additional tension bands for an arm workout at the same time. And it was very easy to put together, HOWEVER, during assembly off of one of the fixings I got a huge metal splinter in my finger, which I almost had to go to the hospital to have removed. My warning to others to just be careful when assembling the product, maybe wear some gloves?

Excellent bike! I used the exercise bikes in the gym before lockdown, but this bike is really my favourite now. It’s comfy to sit on, the resistance settings are great, you feel stable. The 2 seating positions to choose from are a great feature, I call them “laid back” and “upright”, upright is if you’re cycling a bike, and laid back is a more seated position. It’s quiet too so you can easily watch tv while cycling. The resistance bands are great too! Work out the arms while cycling. And it’s easy to fold up and wheel away.
