XTERRAFitness Folding Exercise Bike, 225 LB Weight Capacity, Cordless, Battery Powered with Solid X-Frame Folding Design, Padded Seat and Handlebars, Adjustable Foot Straps, 8 Levels of Resistance

1st update: 8.2.2024 Let me clarify a few things. We live in a small house and I wanted a bike that wasn't huge and folding was a plus. I got this bike because I need to walk 20 minutes 3 times a day every other day because of venous insufficiency in my legs. It's miserable to walk outside, especially in compression socks, because we live in South Texas where summer is 8 hot and humid months.If you want a bike with all the bells and whistles, buy a $1,000 bike. This is a nice basic affordable stationary bike.What I like: it doesn't take up much space so I haven't had to put it away yet. It's quiet. Very quiet. The display panel is basic with time, distance, calories and it does not have backlight (not a showstopper for me). The bike has a back rest and handholds on both sides of the seat (both are mandatory for me). The seat is as comfortable as you can get with most bikes. The distance to reach the top and lower handholds is good.The challenge for me is my height is 5'1" so I need the seat low. I had a total knee replacement last year so that knee is not as flexible as it used to be and I had to figure out how to safely get up and over the crossbar because of these restrictions. I put a child's non-slip stool near the right pedal (TKR was right knee), hoist myself up and over the crossbar to put my left foot on the left pedal, slide the stool away from the bike to just clear the right pedal, and I ride the bike. Getting off, I repeat the process in reverse order. This is really just a learning curve because it gets easier each time I ride the bike.I took off the remote control/phone holder because I just couldn't easily clear the cross-beam getting on and off the bike. I didn't need it there anyway although I might fabricate something to hold the remote on the top handholds.I am pleased with this purchase. If anything changes, I'll update the review.07.25.2024 This first part of the review is for assembly only. Another review will be appended to this one after I use the bike for awhile.The instructions were very easy to read and understandable which is a rarity these days. Most of the nuts and bolts were already pre-mounted on the bike which made it very easy to put together. Wrenches and screwdrivers were included. The pictures were accurate with the right numbering. Elapsed assembly time was about 45 minutes including chatting about how easy the bike was to assemble.Bike seems to be well made with high quality steel. Once it's put together it's firm, not wiggly.More to come after I use the bike for awhile.

Buena compra. Sirve muy bien para hacer ejercicio, cumple con su función. Muy buena calidad y muy buen precio. Lo más importante, que no hace nada de ruido, muy ligera y ocupa poco espacio. Excelente producto!

I was a little daunted upon opening the box at all the bits and pieces to assemble. However, the step by step instructions were clear and easy to follow, the tools supplied were very adequate. I was also impressed at what good quality the components were and was very reassured that I had made the right purchase. It took me around 45 minutes to assemble.Once assembled, I gave it a quick trial, the movement was so smooth and quiet! I also love the options of where to hold/rest my hands.This bike is compact and not too difficult to safely fold away, for when I need the space back, the small wheels on the front support help to maneuver it for stowing away.I have used it for longer sessions and find it to be a good comfortable workout, what with the basic console being small, I can easily enjoy watching tv shows while exercising, which is exactly what I hoped I could do.The seat and height is comfortable for me, I am 5'3" and weigh approx. 170lb.The console is simple and the data adds on cumulatively until you reset it by pressing the on button for 4 seconds. It's handy for goals. Although, I still prefer to use my Fitbit to check my BPM since the pulse reader on the bike doesn't seem to pick up all the time.

I love this bike. Originally I was supposed to get the one without a back rest, but glad it was out of stock and this one with back rest was selling for practically the same price. The back rest and back handle bars come in handy. I'm still new to exercise routine and still learning how to use use control panel and I use it maybe 3x a week so far. The setup took long for me, maybe 1 hour and 10 mins becuz I have a slight disability with my arm so I'm not able to do things as quickly. However, it can be assembled by yourself all the nuts and bolts including the wrench and Allen key is included to assemble this bike. It is worth the buy. The sturdy bar on the botton has wheels on the underside that goes at the front so you can easily move it. It does fold up, but I don't fold mine. And its super quiet, you won't hear if someone is cycling if you're in another room. The bike arrived on time. Delivered by UPS and they called me to ensure I was home at the door to receive it.

Easy to set up, not too intimidating for my old folks to start using it, especially with the seat backing included.
