HOMCOM Folding Exercise Bike, Fitness Bicycle Indoor Trainer, Quiet 8-Level Magnetic Resistance, with LCD Monitor, Pulse Sensor and Wheels for Sport Maison and Cardio Training

Bought this Exercise bike after reading the reviews on Amazon For my needs it is perfect. At 83 years of age the old knees won't stand running and even walking a few miles these days has become too hard on the joints. The assembly was an absolute breeze with very clear instructions only took me 35 minutes including a coffee For the price build quality is really good it feels very safe and solid when I'm pedalling and feels well balanced. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet the bike is in use. The display is more than adequate for my needs although slightly disappointed with how long the batteries last. Easy enough to fold away but the unit is quite heavy, but using the wheels does help. My grandson who is a Personal Trainer and fit as a fiddle was really impressed with how much the bike cost and how solid it was. Overall I'm really pleased with my purchase.

Context: I put up with a full-sized running machine that weighed tons for ten years. It dominated my music room using about a third of the space. Because it was expensive I spent much of my time trying to stop it making bangs and clanks that put me off running on it. In the last year, with Covid, I couldn't sell it. The other day it began to stop dead without warning which is just lethal. Finally I'd had enough and dismantled it then scrapped it. However, I still wanted to exercise whilst watching Netflix so I got this little bike and I have a good feeling about it. Firstly, it isn't expensive so it isn't such a worry or a commitment. It is sturdy but not all that heavy so I can wheel it to the side of the room out of the way. It isn't hogging all my space. I was delighted to find I didn't even need to fold it to do this. See picture. It's a small assembly project which seemed very straightforward to me. The left pedal screws into place anti-clockwise and the right goes on clockwise. There's not a fault to the design. The bits fit. Just try turning the left one in the 'wrong' direction and it will go on. The instructions are highly specific with numbered parts in diagrams and the bolts and nuts arrive sealed in a plastic pack so there are the exact number required. I find a big cushion makes the hard seat less firm but this may be more about me not having ridden a bike of any sort for 25 years. If you're not used to it it takes a bit of getting used to. An omission in the instructions manual which is mostly very good is that the console isn't explained. Therefore I can't set the clock. There's only one button that cycles (no pun intended) through Kilometres, and other readings. It's not that they don't work. It's that I have to guess which thing is which. However, I still rate this bike highly because it's great value, I love the red and white paintwork. The resistance seems okay to me as I'm no cyclist. Maybe I'll need more resistance one day but for now this is fine. After spending over a grand on a running machine that made Ginger Baker sound quiet, one really good thing about this bike is that it's practically silent. If I'm watching a programme on TV I can't hear it at all. The mechanism seems faultlessly smooth. I have no doubt that machines that cost more should be better but I'm also sure that this sweet little exercise bike is quieter, neater, less obtrusive than my old equipment and makes me smile. I'm relieved to have finally banished the banging monster of a full-sized running machine in favour of this dinky gem that doesn't dominate my room. Those are my first impressions. Will it stand the test of time? Fingers crossed. It's a good start, though and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this bike.

Was not too sure about purchasing this, but it had a good review that I liked. It was a good price too and was delivered very promptly. It was put together quickly and easily, (by a friend, as I am over 80), who was also impressed by the design and sturdiness, I am very pleased that it has a back rest which makes me feel more secure and more comfortable than without one. The only sadness was that the console on the handlebars that tells speed, time etc. stopped functioning after just one ride. I contacted the company who offered to replace the bike, but this would have meant taking the bike apart, packing it up again and arranging courier etc. as well as having to assemble the replacement., they then offered me a twenty pound refund which I accepted ! I have used it every day since and find it easy to use and believe that my breathing has improved already after three weeks, I enjoy my time on the bike and feel that I made the right choice for me!

This is everything I wanted. Easy to assemble. Nice and sturdy. Easy to get out and fold up to put away. Good quality and i would recommend to all. The dashboard is plasticy but it still does the job so no biggy. 100% happy with this purchase.

Excellent quality, Easy to assemble and fold-up and is compact to store. Adjustments easy to use. Not too heavy to move, just right. Good buy and use it every day.

Easy to assemble, except stirrups on pedals which took a bit of manipulating.

The item came very quickly which was great. The bike was easy to assemble, the instructions were clear and there were no pieces missing. The bike itself seems to be pretty sturdy but when pedalling for more than 20mins a loud noise comes from the flywheel (like a loud ticking), if you leave the bike for a while and pedal again the noise isn't there but returns after the same length of time. The resistance on the bike is one of its poorer features. It ranges from 1-8 but there is hardly any difference between 1-4 and 5-6 is only marginally more resistant. The resistance on 7-8 is good though I'd want this to be say level 4 so there was scope to go higher. Overall I wanted this bike to do some exercise in the current lockdown and whilst this bike is no substitute for an outdoor bike ride or a gym bike it suits my current needs.

After a few weeks use, mechanically this seems a decent piece of kit. Assembly was straightforward. It feels quite robust. and I feel confident in putting strain on it. However the electrics are disappointing. Batteries run down after a few days. The timer always works but the other values (speed, distance, etc) become almost random and unbelieveable after a few days, and the screen dims. I am using it twice a day for about 15 minutes each time but even premium batteries are not lasting a week. I am disconnecting the batteries when not in use to try to mitigate this issue.

Compact & great value
