Step one: buy this bike. Step two: buy a bike seat cushion. Listen, this is not going to be a bike that radically changes your life. It's not going to be so full of cool features that you turn into one of those cyclers that are going ham at 4am with some virtual workout group. What it is going to do is get the job done. I was great about going to my locally affordable gym until March 2020. Then I was like a 3 mile walk a day is fine. Then that wasn't fine. Cut to me searching for a bike that was affordable but tough and also compact. Are there better bikes? Absolutely. Does it do anything cool? No, it most certainly doesn't. It is literally a stationary bike with an electronic reader that is a step above some of your kids talking toys. This bike isn't going to let you whip around and jump up and down like you're suddenly full of the Spirit. The bike DOES give you a reliable machine to work up to building decent stamina. It has an 8 step tension setting and out of the box setting 3 is going to make you regret the decision to bike for an hour. If you can get one of these that isn't busted and has all the parts it's going to be a workhorse. And if I personally can have it for a year it will have nearly been the same price for a whole years gym membership ($200). How much space does it take up? About the size of 2 kitchen chairs. Is it heavy? It's heavy enough (70 lbs) that if your place has a rug or any carpeting at all you're not going to want to lug it up and down the stairs or from one room to another. No carpeting? Feel free to store it wherever, the very flat wheels are a smooth and easy glide and make me wish I could rip up my rugs because I've realized I am not the kind of person that is going to store the bike in the backroom with the washer and then schlep it out to another room to actually exercise. Is it hard to put together? I took a leisure 1.5 hours to put it together and that was with fighting with connecting the tension cable and accidentally attaching the feet backwards on either end. How much weight does it hold? They "say" 300lbs but I'm pushing it at 6ft and 250lbs. The handles do not like when I put too much weight on them and the peddles will "skip" if my full weight is applied while standing and cycling. I don't think this is the bike for you if you're 300lbs (+/- 25lbs). What's the electronic reader like? It's garbage. Use your phone or a smart watch to clock your time/heart rate/distance. The company should have just made the reader a cup and cellphone holder. Why has your review been negative if you're recommending it? I'm keeping it real. This bike is most def for those of us who need exercise but you're not about to start running outdoors or committing yourself to doing a workout video a day.
