BCAN Folding Exercise Bike, Magnetic Upright Bicycle with Heart Rate, Speed, Distance, Calorie Monitor, 330LBS Support - Grey/Black 2020 Version

This bike is much nicer than I expected it to be. I received it today, it was ok to assemble, took about 45 minutes, as expected. At first when I used it, I heard that clicking/ knocking/ grinding noise that people have written about in the reviews, and then realized it may simply be the small wire inside the mechanism that connects to the display hitting something inside the cover. It was a little misaligned, I adjusted it and the bike was perfectly smooth and quiet. It's compact yet nice and sturdy, well designed and also works very well for tall people. I am 5'10", my partner is 6 ft and both our legs fit nicely. The mechanism turns very smoothly, the frame of the bike is heavier than expected ( in a good way ), and it is easy to maneuver. It is also very quiet and has a ledge to rest your phone/ tablet. All in all I am very satisfied, and for the great price it's the best piece of exercise equipment I could have bought. The vendor's customer service was also super responsive !

I only received this on Tuesday, so it's early days with regard to how well it holds up to repeat usage. The box was a mess when it arrived - but luckily that was only an outer box. The bike and all parts were in a smaller box inside that was undamaged. Pretty straightforward to put together - the instructions were small but easy to follow and it comes with a small thin metal wrench and a hex wrench with screwdriver at one end. Small and fiddly, but work just fine for putting everything together if you don't have your own tools. Purchased this bike because I'm a little on the large side and in the process of losing weight (40+ pounds down so far using DDP Yoga). Bought this bike to add another cardio element to my workouts and being heavy I needed something that claimed to be ready for my weight. This one has a weight limit above my weight so I went with it. It feels very sturdy - no creaking, cracking or popping during usage. The seat is pretty comfortable and as I'm using it for interval training, the back rest comes in handy when I'm in a cool down after a sprint. The tracking screen is very basic, but functional. So far I've found the heart rate monitor built into the hand-rests to be borderline useless. During workouts, those monitors don't register anything over a 95 heart rate - I have a chest strap and an armband monitor linked to apps and I've used both of these during workouts. When going heavy, both have me going up into the 140's (while the bikes monitors are in the 90's). For me, this is the biggest down-side to the machine so far. When sprinting, I sprint until my heart rate hits 142 (which is my max for the "fat burn zone), then I kick back and cool down back to about 130 before sprinting again. I'd be running wide open if trying to reach that on the built in HRM. As for durability of the flywheel it's too early to tell. Given that it's a lighter weight flywheel - I think something like 3-4 lbs - I'm sure it will break down quicker than a larger flywheel. I bought this because I'm still in the early stages and didn't see the point in spending a lot of money right now on a larger bike since my fitness level isn't good enough yet for long rides. For me, this was a starting point at a reasonable price (there was a coupon for 30% off and I had Amazon cash) - I was able to get this for under $100. If this holds up for 9 -12 months as I increase my fitness level I will be happy and then look for a better option down the line.

I did have a little trouble assembling as one of the screws was so close to the plastic casing that I literally couldn't turn a ratchet or crescent wrench in the space, but I finagled it into place eventually. Other than that, this little bike is fantastic. It's very quiet, incredibly sturdy, despite its small size, and the seat is surprisingly comfortable. I was also impressed with the amount of tension you can achieve. I can easily wheel it around the house, using it in the living room and then storing it in the office, and it even fits into the closet, although unscrewing the front bolt takes too long to make this worthwhile on a daily basis. The only thing that doesn't work great is the HR monitor. It works until I remove my hand/hands to adjust tension, then I can't seem to get it working right again for the rest of the workout. Luckily, this wasn't high on my priority list. Overall, very pleased - have been using every other day for a few weeks now and it's perfect for my needs.

This is such a great bike, very quiet and sturdy.Don’t let the small reviews scare you away from not making this purchase.Assembly takes about 30-45mins,I recommend a ratchet set if you have one to speed up installation however it is not required since it comes with some tools that will get the job done.Don’t rush and you’ll be fine.Instructions could definitely be better, I suggest you use your phone’s camera to zoom in to see the instruction pictures better.Most of the screws and bolts are already pre installed on some of the parts so it may confuse some people but by the end of the installation, you should’ve ended using all of the hardware that came with it.The digital screen is basic and probably not super accurate but I use my iwatch to keep track so no big deal.Seat and back support is soft comfy and large.Peddling is smooth and quiet, no regrets buying this.. highly recommended! *** DO NOT CUT THE ZIP TIE THAT IS TIED TO THE POWER CABLE WITHOUT HOLDING THE CABLE FIRST OTHERWISE YOU’ll END UP TRYING TO FISH FOR IT.****

It took my husband an hour to put together. It’s pretty easy for him to assemble most anything we receive. The bike is okay quality for the price I paid. The seat is not very comfortable and seems to be too close to the backrest. I’m not a heavy person either. You can’t adjust its position. The bike is very smooth and quiet so watching TV or listening to the radio is ideal. All the read outs are easy to see and navigate. If the seat had different positions the unit would get 5 stars for the money.
