Best Stationary Bike For Parkinson’S (2024 Update)

I usually don't bother with reviews but wanted to do one here since there's so little info to be found on the C7 (loads on the C6 though!). I bought this bike to use as a peleton alternative with the peleton app. The bike is a great bike. I've ridden outdoor bikes a lot (road and mountain) but never really went to the indoor bikes until this. I have been pleasantly surprised. The seat is actually very comfortable, especially with bike shorts. If you're not used to sitting on a bike seat then of course it'll feel weird, but you let butt gets used to it. This thing is super quiet and easy to use, easy to adjust resistance, easy to connect Bluetooth. It's a little difficult at first rising with the peleton app because of trying to figure out resistance levels. Even the 'conversion charts' online don't feel like they're accurate. My only real complaints about it is the water bottle holder should be set further back to avoid hitting your knees on it (there's lots of complaints about this with the c6, which is basically the same bike without the console). The screen is quite small to use as your entertainment or spin class but it's perfect for using as manual mode for the metrics during a peleton class (which I watch on my tv).KC

We looked at the different stationary bikes for some time before ultimately going with this one. I wasn't worried with 'riding w/others' & didn't find a reason to have the specific shoes especially since it's 2 of us. It's quiet & the dial for resistance is smooth. Handlebars are positioned well comfortable. Seat could be a little cushier, there's a possibility to replace that part. Also, no need for a monthly subscription, which apparently you need for others to work. Overall, I am very happy with this bike & would recommend for those who are self motivated & can either watch regular tele or pull up a workout on Amazon Prime. For me, I just couldn't find the need to spend twice as much to be in the 'in crowd' riding what everyone else is, but that's how I roll! Oh, and easy to put together & doesn't take up too much space, a bonus!Crickett

I bought this bike from Dick's about six months ago. I use it almost every day and am quite happy with it after a few additions and modifications. First, the few negatives: I modified the water bottle holder so that it is more forward to avoid hitting the bottle when standing. I swapped the pedals that came with the bike for SPD pedals which work with my mountain bike shoes. I didn't find the JRNY app to be useful. The bike display is OK except for the cadence/RPM display. I have no idea why they use that bar rather than displaying a number. I use zwift and the bike pairs with zwift nicely and displays cadence in the zwift app along with heart rate and power. I'm not certain how the bike reports power and there's some evidence that it overstates power. I don't race on zwift and only do workouts and group rides so I'm not really too concerned about having accurate power numbers. Here are the good points: The bike is very stable and comfortable. It has lots of adjustability to fit the rider. The saddle is remarkably good for a stationary bike. The magnetic resistance is great and very responsive. The bike is absolutely silent and very smooth. The bike is a very good value for the price. It's not quite a full smart bike because it doesn't adjust resistance automatically based on changes in terrain when using an app like zwift. I don't downgrade it for that because it doesn't claim to do that. I knocked off 1 star based on the water bottle holder position and the cadence display. (I would rate it 4.5 if I had that option). This bike is made by NordikTrack and is branded as Schwinn IC4 and an almost identical Bowflex C7 which only slightly differs cosmetically. NordikTrack could easily fix those two issues. Several users reported problems with the pedals included with the bike. I didn't use them as I swapped them for the SPD when I first started using the bike.man with dog

I think the only good thing about this bike is the price point 🙁 The assembly of the bike was super easy. I was able to assemble it 80% alone. The rest of it was too heavy for me to hold and screw at the same time so my husband helped with that part (handle bars). There’s a few major disappointments here. First, the left pedal is impossible to screw on. It tells you to tighten it counter clockwise, which we did. But the grooves don’t work (idk how else to explain it). The left pedal doesn’t fasten completely to the leg of the bike. We thought maybe it’s not supposed to (?), so I got up and tested it. After pedaling for three seconds, the left pedal popped completely off. We tried for nearly an hour to get this pedal to screw on all the way but it never did. That night, I reached out to the email address provided in the instructions to ask them for help with the part. We got a reply from a bot, advising us to turn the pedal counterclockwise, which we already did for an hour. I replied to the bot saying we tried that with no luck. Despite their bot promising contact from an actual team member, we still haven’t heard back (it’s been two days). Then, I decided to call the support phone number provided. It also goes to a bot, who advises they’ll only transfer me to a human if I register my product and provide my registration number to them. So note, if you got this bike secondhand and need help from customer service, it’ll be nearly impossible unless you have the registration number. My husband somehow managed to get the pedal halfway screwed on enough for us to use it without the left foot busting off mid stride, but it is sooooo wonky. The pedal jiggled around and is very unstable and not safe to ride at all. When I finally registered my product, I called the support number back. I indicated I wanted to return the product because I’m completely over it. After clicking thru the menu, once I told it I didn’t buy it directly from the manufacturer the bot told me “please go to the store you bought your item from to complete your return. Goodbye.” This infuriated me! I understand they didn’t sell me the bike so I can’t return it to them, but this is the least concerned company about their products or customer service. I will ever in my life purchase anything from this company again. The other issue I have is I feel like the bike isn’t made for short people. I’m 5 foot even and the seat is too tall for me, even when it’s on the lowest setting. When I stand next to bike, the seat hits mid torso when it should hit right about my hips/pelvis. My feet lift off the pedals when I hit the bottom of my stride. This isn’t something I can even ask them to fix so it’s a total bust at this point. Finally, the seat is UNBEARABLE! It’s narrow and hard as a rock. Just icing on the cake.Monica

I absolutely LOVE this bike and the community that rides it. I bought my bike (Costco 4S) in February 2021 and today, (11/15/2022) I completed my 1000th workout. I have over 800 rides and almost 200 Fitpass classes completed. The variety of classes makes it possible for me to ride either a live or on-demand ride every day, whether I feel like riding 75 minutes or want to take it easy with a 20 minute low impact ride. The instructors are exceptional. While I have never met any of them personally, they project warmth and compassion, and make me, the rider feel like I am important to them. The feeling I get from them is that this is more than just a job, it is really their passion and they care about us, their riders. The variety of Facebook groups specific to Echelon are numerous and there is something for everyone. When I had an issue with the attached tablet not allowing me to log in, I sent a Facebook message to Echelon and within 5 minutes I had a message back with instructions how to reset the tablet. The service is exceptional. I can’t say enough good things about the Echelon bike and Fitpass classes.Gail Erlitz

Ok people this is not a shirt you can stuff back in the bag and return to QVC. The thing took my husband 2 hours to put together and it weighs a ton. So here are the details to assist. Full disclosure I'm a 5'4 fat lady (working on changing the fat part, hence the bike.) So I had been using the x-bike and wanted to level up for a sturdy bike that I could do standing cycle jogging out of the saddle. I'd been using the fancy bike app with my x-bike so and didn't want to spend the extra on a bike with the attached monitor. Like I need another screen in my house??? I like using the bike with my Ipad so I can take any class, you tube, peloton app or just netflix and spin so this seemed to be the ticket. Ok so here's the downfalls: 1- THE SEAT IS A TORTURE DEVICE- this was just not doable for me or my 14 year old son who validated my concern. So no problem, did some research and ordered a new bike seat on amazon, spent an hour or so learning how to change on youtube now comfy seat- check. 2- Configuration IS A SQUEEZE- ok so if you move the HANDLEBARS up they also move outwards from the body, assuming that all riders are super tall that want high handles, they say to raise them high if you are pregnant have back pain or are a beginner, so you better be tall too. Of course, you can move the seat forward to match but then wait my knees are in a funny position, and oh how do I get off this thing? The brake is right on my who-ha while I try to shimee out of this thing. So now I just find myself riding too far up and back to avoid knee pain or who-ha dismount, so feel like I'm bracing for dear life to get to those handle bars way forward. 3. The setting to move up the seat are not very clear and make it difficult to find the right spot again if someone else uses the bike. Wind-up! So with all this you wonder why I still have it. Well, it's a nice bike, I spent about $1000 bucks time and energy getting it set up, and I'm assuming that as I get thin these issues will subside. So my overall review is short fat ladies try before you buy, because no way in heck your getting this thing in a box again.MsMyka

I am so so happy with this bike. I am 75 and put the bike together by myself in about an hour. Directions are really clear; take your time and enjoy the process of putting it together. Bike is so quiet and very smooth ride. Love the scanner that includes heart rate, miles, calories, time peddling. The bike is really sturdy and fits in an 18 inch square space when closed. Very easy to close and open. Yes, pull the pin to open and close the bike……there are two holes that line up for open and close position. The seat is also really comfortable. If you are trying to decide whether to buy or not, I recommend you buy it. It is really worth every penny and your body will thank you for helping it stay healthy.woffette

In response to P65 for consumers . . .it's a warning label such as don't use a curling iron while in the tub, or consume paint chips. "Should I worry about Prop 65? Probably not. The Prop 65 label is like a noisy alarm that rings equally loudly about smaller amounts of low-risk substances and huge amounts of potentially harmful chemicals. The labels don't say how much of the chemical is present, or how much it would really take to make a person sick." And one key word is "might"! Most items should probably have this label on it! All the toxins we purchase is outrageous-but unless you are licking, consuming, or eating the paint chips, etc. the worries should be labeled but it's safe to use. Thanks to the customer that pointed this issue out!Kat Girl 2

I've owned this bike for less than a week. It took 3 days to ship from Walmart (was told it'd take 2 – but it's the holiday season during a pandemic, delays will happen) and it arrived in great condition. Assembly was fairly painless (took roughly 30 – 45 minutes with the "help" from a toddler – could've gone quicker without the help most likely). All required tools were packaged with the parts. Upon completion of assembly, I downloaded the Echelon Fit application and began the process of connecting / registering. The description / title of the item stated that it would come with a "6-month free membership ($120 value)" but when I created my account it only gave the option for a 1 month trial. The app registration was clunky and it seemed like you were unable to actually do it from within the mobile application (it had to be done via the web). In order to get the "free 6-month membership" I ended up having to reach out to Echelon support twice and provide them proof of purchase. The bike itself appears very solid. Peddling makes no / minimal noise and the resistance knob moves as one would expect. The seat is uncomfortable (at least to someone who doesn't normally cycle), so I would recommend buying a gel cushion or a different seat to replace it. Once connected to the app, the metrics appear to show up well. The app really could use some serious work on Android (I did not test it on an Apple device), but it's functional… mostly. All in all, it seems to be a very solid bike at $500. Had I paid more, I might be disappointed but it fits my requirements (which were being able to see resistance / cadence metrics, sturdy / durable bike that will last, and affordable).Justin

I am a regular runner, average around 20 miles a week and generally work up to around 40 a week when training for a half marathon. I bought this to incorporate cross training and replace the easy miles while keeping the quality runs. So I am new to spinning, not new to fitness and cardio. After 3 rides, I am impressed. Like many others, I find the seat uncomfortable while riding, but I am pretty certain that is just because I have not regularly ridden a bike in several years, so I need to get used to it. If I remember right, I had the same issue adjusting back when I did ride. So, you can buy a different seat, but you probably just need to adjust. I have no issues with the pedals, I know some people prefer clips and replace these pedals that come with cages, but they are just fine for me. The app is pretty easy to use, and the 6 month free access to on demand classes feels like a great deal. I have not done a class because I am following a structured plan and own a heart rate monitor, but Ive heard good thing from my brother-in-law who recommended this bike while I was researching options. I was a little concerned about the 32 levels of resistance compared to Pelotons 100 levels, but I find myself riding between resistance levels 15 to 22 to hit my target heart rate. I feel like I am long way from needed a level 32 resistance.Jason

The bike is solidly built, easy to set up, pedals nicely and has sufficient adjustability for me. On the downside; I did not find the seat comfortable – I have a lean build with narrow sit bones and I sink into the seat so much it squeezes my man-parts. The pedals require two hands to adjust. I am used to exercise bikes at the gym where I can sit down and reach over with one hand to pull the adjusting strap tight. The water bottle holder doesn't easily accommodate a larger bottle. The written instructions about signing up for the app are incorrect. And, Echelon make it hard to simply establish an account for free (freestyle rides) without paying for a subscription. The small wheels used to move the bike are made from a very hard plastic and have a narrow profile so when moving the bike it left small indentations in my red oak hardwood floor. Fortunately the bike accommodates a standard wheel used on many inline skates, skateboards, etc. So, I swiped a couple of soft wheels with a wide profile form my kids roller blades and that solved that problem. Lastly, if you are a taller rider be cautious. I am 6 feet tall with a slightly longer than normal inseam and I adjust the bike seat to position 14 or 15. There are 16 positions. Each position is about 9/16 of an inch. And, if I could add one item to my wishlist it would be more adjustability on the handlebars; a bit more height and a forward-and-back adjustment would be nice. In summary, the bike is good and I do recommend it, but it does require some tweaks.Thomas

I bought this bike because I work a ton and can't always get to the gym, where we have top of the line spinning equipment and instructors. I wanted a bike that was either equivalent or very close, so that I could work out at home. I was so thrilled with this bike that I purchased a second for my daughter. The bike is not massive, but, a decent size. It fits in my medium sized NYC apartment (one in the living room and one in the master bedroom). The bike is sturdy, nice looking and really looks like it should cost a lot more that $250. Since I have been spinning for years, I don't need an instructor. Yet, placing the bikes close to my TV and in well air conditioned rooms, certainly helps! The bike has all the same adjustment features as the gym cycles (seat goes up/down/forward back) and handlebars can be raised/lowered. The handlebars are padded. The seat is similar, also – but, as I ride a lot, I like to keep a spin cushioned seat on it (which, I sometimes brought to spin classes with me). While the bike is heavy, it simply transported by tilting and using the attached wheels. Occasionally, the bike can squeak (as other bikes often do), which I quickly resolve with a few drops of oil. The only thing missing from this bike is a water bottle holder. However, my 10 year old son resolved this issue by using tape to hang a plastic bucket from the handrail (where I place my water-bottle)! He also attached a small light weight wire box (with clear mail tape – also to the handrail), where I store my iphone, tv remote or whatever! In fact, he placed a small flat board on the rail for my laptop, and, I am actually typing this review as I happily spin and watch a movie with him~ I hope this is helpful!Melissa

The bike is excellent. Smooth as silk. Easy tension controls. Seat is hard on the crotch during extended rides. Went to academy and got something wider and softer. Well worth the money.James C.

I got this bike on Amazon On sale and it’s pretty great. Super easy to put together – it took me about 45 minutes by myself. The directions are very simple to read and u detests forget also. The bike rides smooth and has many different levels of tension for a more challenging ride. The handle bar and seat are adjustable, although I wish it had more positions as I am short and it doesn’t sit where I’d like it to. The seat is not that comfortable and I had to buy a gel cushion for comfort. All in all it’s a pretty good bike for not a lot of money.emily.l

I’m too excited to have this Pro-Form Pro C22 stationary bike. I actually got an assembler to put it together because I didn’t want to make a mess and within not even an hour all by himself without any help from me he put it together. Even he said it was a great piece of workout equipment. I don’t know where to start with this beautiful piece of equipment but the most greatest part of the bike is of course the bicycle itself, but I’m in love with the 22 inch smart HD touchscreen display. I mean it even swivels. I’m a nurse and need stress relief, this makes my garage, turned into my home gym, complete. I love bicycling and do outdoor biking often here in Florida. I don’t always have time to go down to the bridge or the trial to bike. This bike completes my need to cycle without leaving my home. The one year membership to iFit is a dream come true and an amazing perk that came totally free. In truth I couldn't ask for more. Really streamlined bike heavy in weight, so stays solidly based on the floor, no rocking or unbalanced feeling. Love the front wheels, makes it comfortable to easily move to different locations in my garage. I consider myself a medium to advanced rider and this bike helps me to meet my needs and allows me to further develop my more advanced goals. This bike has 24 resistance levels, you can’t beat that. Handlebars are easily adjustable and I’m using the two 3 lbs weights, which it came with (nice extra), while cycling which is further refining and developing my hand leg coordination. As a nurse I turn, lift and support patients so this bike actually aids in improving my strength and stamina and also lowers my stress level. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.Jelica9

I have been wanting a spin bike forever now. After a long year of stress eating and no gyms open I finally buckled down and ordered one. After tons of research I decided to go with this model, the ProForm Pro C22. The giant screen and all of the features available plus the price is what drew me towards this model. Not only that but it also comes with a free year of iFit! Thankfully it was doable to put together on my own and with the wheels in the front I can easily move it around if needed. Everything is easily adjustable for different riders or sizes and heights. It’s very easy to adjust the seat and the handlebars at anytime. I was ready for my first ride within a few hours after receiving. The iFit classes are amazing and definitely make working out feel a whole lot less boring. You really feel like you are in an actual class. The added addition of the weights also intensifies things. You would think 3lbs would be easy but it’s a great addition to the bike. The 22in screen also swivels around which I love. I can do other exercises using iFit other than bike rides. I love laying out a mat and doing yoga, weights and cardio. You really can have everything with this one machine. I love how there are classes for everyone, wether you are a beginner or advanced. I cannot wait to see where my fitness level is at over the next few months! I received this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.Teran

Bought in sept 21. Came out of box with wiring issues. Took a month to figure out and get running. I love ifit and use 6 days a week. In Jan 22 started to get a intermittent clanking in the crank. This to progressively worse. After countless hours with customer service and sendin pictures and videos to support my issues they finally sent a tech. The entire drive …crank…belt…flywheel had to be replaced. After less than five mos of use. After multiple escalations a replacement was sent. I received and put together on a Sunday. After 2 days of use a vibration/dragging is already occurring in the flywheel. Have the rw900 rower…just as bad. After just 22 rows the flywheel is squealing nonstop. I love ifit but the equipment makes it hardCoggy19

I must say I've had this item for 3 weeks now. I'm very impressed with its functioning. It's quiet. It's comfortable to use. Its efficient. I enjoy half an hour a day cycling and increasing the tension.Jhoon H

My favorite thing about this bike is I was able to get into better shape in the comfort of my own home, very quiet when using and is fun to use. I have lost a few pounds within my first couple of weeks and I feel great about myself! It’s very sturdy and when I contacted the company about a general inquiry they quickly responded and went out of their way to assist with the needs I had. Very professional and I am very impressed with their team. I highly recommend this bike and the customer service that comes with it.Matty G

I read a ton of reviews before making my final decision. Honestly this semi recumbant exercise bike will be a good fit for some, but not all. It really depends on your fitness goals, expectations, and how fit you already are. I think it's a good buy for the price. It comes with some assembly required, but isn't difficult or too time consuming. I had some issues with the quality control. The resistance and monitor cables were in the way of being able to put the locking pin in the hole to fold the bike up. The resistance really only gets hard at 6,7,8. 1-5 are easy. That's enough resistance for me to break a sweat for now. I did address my concerns to customer service by sending an email. They took care it in a fair way as far as I'm concerned. The bike is lightweight, easy to move since it has wheels. I should also say it suits those who are height challenged. Not so much if you're taller than 5'10". Riding is very quiet!Debbie

Bearing in mind that I've only had the bike for a week, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Extremely quiet, comfortable seat, quick & easy to relocate. I only have 2 small issues with the bike. The first is that the right pedal has a tendency to loosen up after a few rides, resulting in a little click sound, but this is easily remedied by retightening the pedal. The second is that the wheels on the base for relocating the bike could have been a little bigger. At present the bike rolls well on solid floors, but not so well on carpet. All in all a wonderful investment in the healthy future of myself & my family.David

Giving this bike 5 stars because I love it, simple as that. It's everything I was looking for and the price was great too ($160 free delivery). Honestly, I have yet to fold and move it so I can't give a review on that but it holds my phone towards the top, not on the bottom like some models, and has wheels for when I do fold and move it, so I'm very happy with it. The seat moves up and down (adjusts to height) easily and it is silent when you use it. My only critique is the units printed under the digital screen are small so it's a little hard to see which goal I'm looking at each time the screen changes (minutes, pulse, etc.). I also wish it had a cup holder which was not on my original wish/shopping list when I was looking for these so I can't complain. Overall, five stars and yes, buy this.katebean

The Sole SB900 is a good bike, but not for me. My bad. Due to Covid, I read reviews and bought this bike without trying it out, and it has some drawbacks that for me are major. On the positive side, it is a very solid bike and rides smoothly and quietly. The seat is very comfortable, and seat and handlebars adjust up and down, and back and forth, which to me is a requirement. The first drawback. It has a 40 lb flywheel. I didn't really understand what that meant before I road it – now I do. It means that the flywheel is so heavy and even with no tension, I cannot really bike as quickly as I would like. I am used to a spin class workout, and this is what I was going for. I know that Sole does not offer on line classes, but I am using the Peleton app so I didn't think there would be a problem. I miss my warm-ups cycling 100+ RPMs with minimal tension. Drawback number 2. The consol does not measure tension, only RPMs and thus, it can only tell your RMP, speed and distance – the second two are merely a function of RPM garnered from revolutions of the flywheel. As a result, it cannout measure output or Watts (how hard you are working). The watts displayed are only another way of displaying RPM, thus, per the console, you are exerting the same amount of energy cycling at 70 RPM whether you have 20% tension or 100% tension. Similarly, I spent an hour on the phone setting up my personal parameters – female, weight, age. A total waste of time, because the consol will display the same calories irrespective of your effort, based only on your RPM. I am quite annoyed that none of the many reviews I read pointed this out. In fact, the pointed out the negative of competitors only providing a console per their tablet and subscription service. But at least with them, you would have a meaningful description of your workout.JoyousCaribou-95345

It was easy to put together. The bike is very quiet. I have tried a few programmed rides. The hill starts out way too easy (I think the resistance was on 1 or 2), then switches to something (like 29), which was like riding a one speed bike up a mountain. Who rides a bike like that? I tried the HR programs and they started out too easy, try to change the level and it raises your target heart rate. Eventually it gets around to raising the resistance based on your target heart rate. I prefer to start out with the cardio program (which is separate from the HR) it keeps my age and weight( so I don't have to enter all of this every time) and itt allows me to adjust the resistance manually. Then I saved this to custom. The custom will store your program, but apparently only one program for one user. It would be better if you could have at least two separate users, like most other machines these days. I tried the sole app on my phone, but I wasn't impressed by it. I have been saving my progress in the polar beat app, which also tracks my progress on my rower, treadmill and bowflex trainer. I wore out the drive mechanism in my last bike which was a Nordic track lcb( Nordic track quit making the drive bearing, so I was unable to fix it.) So I'm hoping this one from Sole lasts forever.The seat goes high enough for me (I'm 78 inches tall and still fits my wife who is 63 Inches tall.)GentleOpossum-47583

This is my first spin bike. After doing research, this was the bike that had all the features and qualities I was looking for. I did not want connectivity to classes; I just wanted a meter to register my speed, heart rate, time, distance, etc. The digital display has large numbers, but no backlight that constantly stays on throughout the workout. The seat is comfortable. It rides smoothly and quietly. It's a very solidly built bike. I wish the handlebars were a little more padded. I shift my hands around on the bars to avoid painful pressing on the same spot on my hands. I wanted the option to switch to clip-on shoes, but I'm finding the toe cage option to be just fine. I preferred magnetic resistance for less maintenance which this bike has. If multiple people are using the bike, it might be difficult to reset your personal resistance level in the same place. You have to go by feel of the resistance as you spin as opposed to setting it at a specified number. I'm the only one who uses my bike, so this type of resistance knob setting works for me. I absolutely love this bike. It was a little out of my preferred price-range, but I'm overall happy with my purchase.StormyRaven-36369

We love our new Sunny exercise bike. It was exactly what we were looking for in our price range. It was easy to assemble and programming each ride is simple too. What we love most is that it fits perfectly in the space we had available and it's quiet when one of us is using it.Kevin W.

Tried the bike out right after putting it together and it was a workout! I only had it on level 1, and after 30 minutes, I was sweating and my legs felt like jello. I'm 5'7 and 120 pounds (and not THAT out of shape!) and I felt the bike fit me and was comfortable. I really love this bike so far. I think, for the price, it was a really good investment. Seems to be pretty sturdy and well made. I have no complaints! Except that I have no excuse not to workout now….Kevin H

I am very happy with the bike. Was easy to put together. It is taking me longer to figure out the programs and how to use them than it did to put it together. I am will be getting a seat cover as the seat isn’t comfortable for me.Enjoy W.

Instructions were easy to read and putting the bike together didn't take up much time for me. I was surprised at how sturdy and stable the bike is even with me pedaling hard, with my full weight on it. The biggest selling point for me is the adjustable resistance. I tested the bike at the highest resistance level and to my surprise, my workout felt 10x more challenging. This is exactly what I was looking for when I was shopping for an indoor bike. If you're looking to increase the intensity of your workout, I'd recommend that you try this one!Mark T.

I have been road biking for 17 years, averaging 1000-1500 miles per year. Wanted a good exercise bike to use on cold days and as a supplement. I wanted a heavy bike with magnetic resistance, and one that looked attractive. This is a great bike and built like a tank, very sturdy, heavy, and stable.Bill N

I chose this particular bike mainly because it is belt drive and has magnetic resistance, which all the reviewers said made for a quiet ride. And, they were right. This bike is super quiet! Quiet operation was a very important factor because it is in my office and I wanted other family members to be able to use it while I work.David M

After getting the bike assembled, which was not as easy as other reviews state, there was a grinding noise. We took the bike completely apart and found the belt was not on correctly. It took FOREVER to get it back on. After fixing that there was an issue with the tension cable. After working on this bike for a while it is finally usable. The price is fair, but its not worth much money in my opinion. Spend a little more on a better bike. The overall look of it is good but it doesn't function properly.Brittnee

This exercise bicycle is easy to use. I had a sore knee for weeks. I noticed soreness was less after first use. I have used the bike for 2 weeks and knee pain is gone. I was away for a week and mo issues with knee. I start using it again today. This bike displays distance and calories burned. The seat and back cushion are comfortable. This is the best exercise bike I have used. I highly recommend to damily and friends.Sylvia

I bought this bike several years ago, and have been very pleased with it. I am 97 years old, stagger around with a cane, and have very little strength. This bike is good for me. It's very easy to get on and off – the seat is chair height, with a back and arms making it secure to ride. Other configurations like upright bikes and rowing machines are difficult, and those requiring you to stand are impossible for me to use without falling. I ride this bike for 30 minutes a day at a resistance setting of 5 within the range of 1 – 8, about what I remember the resistance of peddling a real bike at about 10 -15 mph to be. The bike has a very good price; it has the essentials and no more. Other than occasionally tightening a few screws, I've had no maintenance problems. I have two criticisms: (1.) The adjustment for riders of different heights is cumbersome, and (2.) The little computer displays operating time, speed, distance, calories , and something I don't understand. It is difficult to zero the display at the start of a run; I just keep punching until it eventually does, and the calorie count never zeros, but who believes it anyway. The same is a problem with the scan function – just keep punching and eventually it starts working. For someone like me who needs aerobic exercise, but is too old and feeble to go running in the park, this is a great machine.William

Love the bike. Easy to put together, comfortable seat! Hate, absolutely hate the resistance pads! They do not wear evenly, make lots of noise and leaves marks all over the wheel. I have had to replace it each month! I wrote to Yosuda, who passed me off to another company that sent me another pad, but did not address any of the other issues I mentioned. If I wanted a bike with a monthly fee, I would have purchased one.KT

After I received my stationary bike, I’m very happy that I made the right decision on it. I work at a restaurant and get off really late, that’s why I don’t have that much time to go gym to work out. This bike it’s really convenient to move around with its wheels. The another good thing for it is that it doesn’t make noise when I use it. So I can do exercise whenever I like to. There is a spot I can hold my phone while exercising. The seat is adjustable and comfortable. I put it together by myself in about half hour. It was easy to assemble and I like everything about it. It feels very solid when riding it, by all four members of our family, weighing from 90 to 200 pounds. We feel that it’s a great value for the price.Katherine

This is a decent bike. The seat is comfortable and is very supportive. It really helps with my arthritic legs and I am steadily losing weight. The only con is the computer . I called the company because it was defective( the display for everything keeps going out to where only a piece or two of numbers would show, it would not let me reset any of the counters and the calories was stuck); the company sent another replacement computer. The second one is malfunctioning because of the odometer(it never resets while everything else does). Although the computer is giving me problems, the seat adjusts like it is supposed to for height, the pedal system still works well and the tension works. I think it is an ok buy thus far and I have had it since October 15, 2018.amy1

I initially began looking for the typical upright style bike, but having a back problem, I turned to the recumbent style. As my wife was looking over my shoulder, she suggested I look at one with the back-rest support on it as well. I’m glad she said something…once I got the unit assembled, and tried it out, I realized how important the back-rest was for me. I now know I would not be able to use a unit without it. It was fairly easy to assemble…I only pinched my fingers once. I was impressed with the quality of the unit…it seems to be very well made. It is very quiet during use. The online ad information didn’t say anything about a pulse rate monitor…this unit does have one, built into the handles. The seat and backrest are both comfortable. I am about five-three and had no problem fitting this equipment. I have only used it for a few minutes at this point, but am comfortable knowing that with my physical limitations, I will be able to get some exercise with this unit. My wife who is an exercise nut, and has never been a fan of stationary bikes, also likes it. I get the impression this bike is going to get a lot of use. In my opinion, this bike was the biggest bang for the buck. I’m very happy with it, and would easily recommend it.BCHBMZ

Broken within 6 months. I bought this bike last summer. After a few months the right petal started making a weird sound like there were rocks bands in the center of machine. After a few days of the noise it only got worse. I noticed little metal balls came out of the petal and the noise became unbearable like metal scratching on metal. I contacted the company who manufactured the bike and completed a form for replacement parts. After they confirmed receipt of the form they did not respond to any of my requests for an update and have not sent the replacement part. They also have a customer service and they literally never answer the calls. Horrible customer service. Dont waste your money one this.Ana

Greetings I am a Walmart Sparks Reviewer and I will be doing a review on the EXerpeutic Therapeutic Fitness Momentum Bike. This bike came in a huge box so you will definitely need someone to help you with taking it out of the box and putting it together. After taking all of the equipment parts out of the box, I saw that it is basically already put together with the exception of a few minor parts such as the handle, seat, peddles etc… I definitely love that it was easy to assemble. However, I would highly advise not to take the screws from underneath the bike seat. This was a mistake I made and had a little difficult time assembly the part back together. After the bike was assembled, I was now ready to try it out. It has a very smooth ride which helps a lot with those leg muscles and thigh areas. The only thing I wish was the seat to be a bit wider for a more comfortable sitting. However, you can use a pillow for sitting. The seat was also taller, even after I adjusted it to the lower setting. It is also very important to make sure all adjustments are made properly. In my case, I had to refer back to the owner’s manual to make further adjustments. The EXerpeutic Bike is easy to maneuver around because it has a set of rollers in front. Just tilt it forward and roll. Now, if you have a white peel and stick tile flooring, like I do, it may leave some streak of rolling marks on the flooring, but it’s easy to damp mop it away. Overall, it is a great exercise bike and a good way to stay in shape. Just make sure you follow the manual and remember not to remove the screws from the bottom seat area. Other than that, I am really enjoying the good exercise in the convenience of my home.Icantbelieveitsnotbutter

I received my EXERPEUTIC LX 8.5 Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike with Bluetooth Smart Technology and Free MyCloudFitness App today. It comes in pretty compact box. There is some assembly but I was able to complete that pretty quickly. The bike itself weighs about 90 lbs. It does come with transportation wheels provide for easy relocation. Please note – the install manual that came with my bike did not mention the Bluetooth box and batteries. Had to figure that out on my own. The box sits on the side of the bike near the pedals. Uses included batteries. It connects to your Smartphone using the MyCloudFitness App. This bike has many features. I wanted something I could use during winter months. I usually ride an outdoor bike and really like the workout I get from bike riding. This bike has a very quiet belt drive that will hold up to 300 lbs. It has a Heavy Duty 3 Piece Crank System that will enable peddling forward or backward. It has a 40 lb cast iron flywheel. The handlebars are multi-grip and can change out into 6 different positions. It has a neat smart phone holder and water bottle holder! The seat is cushioned ergonomic and has a 4 way adjustment. There is a secure toe cage if you want to use an extra leg thrust! The floor stabilizers are adjustable so there is no chance of tipping over. There is an easy dial tension adjustment that I find very useful and includes an emergency brake. I really love that you can stand up and pedal to have the uphill workout. And I love all things technology—it has Bluetooth Smart Technology with free MyCloudFitness app that is available on Android and iOS to track your workouts via your mobile devices. Just pair you phone with the app. Love that feature! The only thing I was not thrilled about is there is no onboard display. It all has to be shown on your Smartphone. MyCloudFitness app tracks time, distance, speed, RPM, and calories burned and has 3 workout goal settings: time, distance, and calories burned. I really like this machine. It gives a good full body workout!!vcwalters

The bike is easy to put together. I am not very tall and this bike meets my height comfortably. The peddling is smooth and the seat, so far, is comfortable. I like the fact that the device holder is capable of holding my 12.9 tablet. Another pro is that there is a 1-year free mycloudfitness subscription or should I say prescription. Also, there is a little Bluetooth box near the peddle this takes two triple A batteries.LadyMonaco

I love this bike. When the pandemic hit I had just had knee replacement surgery. So physical therapy and my gym closed and rehabilitation is my only chance for having a successful working knee. The seat on this bike would not stay and the platform kept coming loose. I called Customer Service hysterical I won’t lie. Shane talked me down off the ledge and sent me a new seat and platform. I waited 30 years for this knee so everything literallly rides on this bike. Thank you Shane and thanks to this awesome companyNaeR

Had the bike for about 2 months now. It’s a great bike, except the distance meter control box already broke and now it’s making this really awful grinding noise. Reading the other reviews this seems like a common problem. It’s still rideable, just have to jam some paper in the belt area to get rid of the grinding sound and now I’m keep track on distance and time on my phone. Really bummed about it.Erin

We are happy with the quality of the product. My husband and I both use the bike and the seat, handlebars, and tension on the wheel are very easy to change to accommodate our preferences. We are senior citizens; however, this will provide enough challenge for younger riders too. The LCD monitor provides the information that we are interested in knowing.Buyckers

My daughter loves it, she rides it every morning. It's easy to assemble, about 20 minutes and it looks quite strong. It‘s quiet when it working. The stand is prefect design, The “stop” button good for protect legs from injury because it can stop flywheel immediately. The seat pad is little bit hard, but it doesn’t matter. I hope I can keep exercise and lose weight as expected.YOUZHENG
