Esprit Fitness XLR-8 Exercise Bike Adjustable Resistance Cardio Workout Indoor Fitness Bike

Was looking for an inexpensive exercise bike and was a bit put off by some of the negative reviews on here but took a chance and ordered one in red. Bike arrived in a well packaged box, instructions and tools were included, took about an hour hour to assemble but wanted to take my time - very easy to put together. The completed bike looks great in our living room in red and is light weight to move about. Ok its not the most comfortable bike out there and doesn't fold up, yes it is basic but extremely good value for money for anyone who just wants a gentle work out from time to time. Very pleased for a bike around £60

I bought this bike to help me build up muscle wastage after a leg fracture in May with subsequent weakness in both legs.Following the instructions carefully, this was easy to assemble.One screw that fixes the Tension Control Knob to the front post is missing, but I've got one somewhere in my screw box I can readily use.I'm 5.2", 61kg, a 49 year old female - and this is one of the more easier things I've assembled. No heavy parts, no lifting - no extra help needed.Had to adjust the seat a couple of times to get the most comfortable position, and also adjusted the tilt of the handle bars too - both easy and quick tasks to do.The Tension Control Knob is self explanatory, as is the Computer Panel - played with both for a couple of minutes and am now familiar with the way they work.One complaint - the seat doesn't feel secure - the nuts don't seem to go all the way up the bolt - again I'm sure I've got something in my tool box I can use to secure.Not a massive problem, but the velcro pedal straps only just fit around my feet in my orthopaedic shoes, any shorter and I would have had to lengthen them with some bought velcro strips and a bit of DIY.Actually using the bike, the circular motion feels a bit jerky on the down step, however this can be overcome by increasing the tension slightly and adjusting your "step" to suit.All in all, I love my bike! It's neat, and fits into the corner of my living room tidily.If it were more expensive I might say it's not worth it, but for the price this is a decent piece of equipment!

I read reviews on this product after I had ordered itand thought,"Oh knickers,I think I may have made a mistake purchasing this excercise bike",as most of them were terrible.But.....the bike came.My partner put the bike together while I was at work.He had read the instructions which didn't seem to make any sense to him and decided to do without them.It took him an hour to put together and I must say it is really sturdy and the pedal action(for me),is really good.The seat isn't very comfortable but it's better than the last one I had.The speedometer thingy whatever it's supposed to be,doesn't make much sense to me,but I think it's well worth the money.It's helping me do want I want to do which is get a bit fitter without having to prance around some fancy gym with the beautiful people in lycra.I can do it in the privacy of my spare bedroom.I don't know about the ones that other people are complaining about.I must have dropped lucky and purchased the one that actually nearly does all it claims to do.😂

The unit is light to move around, our machine like other reviews have stated has the main tube that holds the bars welded off center. The seat height tube is very short and getting a good leg extension on legs longer than 27 ins is not possible which is most people so it has a limited use for adults. I think with light use it will last a year max.

This bike is absolutely awful I am a 26 year old 14 stone male and have never felt so uncomfortable on a piece of gym equipment !!The seat is that hard I had more pain in my a*s cheeks than I did my legs after sitting on what could only be considered as a stone slab for an hour and a half .....The bike is that unstable don’t even consider trying to stand up because you’ll tip the bike !The calorie counter is shocking 1hr and 30 minutes work out without stoping at pace and burning just 25 calories (I don’t think so) my phone calorie counter and my fit bit stayed 285 calories so way off .....I am a size 8 shoe ...... the straps don’t fit over a basic running shoe which they should as this is a safety feature ....The weights in the peddled mean that the straps are always facing the floor and not upwards ready to just slide your feet into .....This was a Christmas present from my mother and as far as I’m concerned she’s wasted £80THERE IS LITERALLY 0 RESISTANCE!!LOOK ELSEWHEREI beg you ....

Easy to put together very functional. I’m not getting much use out of it because I’m too big if you’re a very tall person and you’re looking to lose weight because you are overweight. This might not be for you as I’m not 100% sure I have stirred it is and as it’s not very front heavy, you can easily fall back so you might want to look into securing the front feet.

The quality is awful, The parts don't fit that well and the computer is not making any sense at all, the sensor is probably faulty. That said if you want something to get ur cardio workout and stamina up for a cheap price this is it. No idea how long it will last. One small positive is that i'm a larger size and and this seems to hold my weight ok.

My Dad is very poorly, and hasn’t been active for some weeks - which for him is unheard of.To make himself feel better he wanted a cheap, easy to use exercise bike. This fitted the bill perfectly.There isn’t a fly wheel in the bike so it doesn’t feel like you’re pedalling a bike, the pedals simply rotate.I ordered this on the Friday, and the estimated delivery date was 27th November. It came on the Saturday!I assembled this myself in around 15 minutes using the instructions and general common sense. For the price, I’m happy.Thank you
