VANSWE Recumbent Exercise Bike for Home Seniors with 380 LB Weight Capacity

The bike is great it's small quiet and does what you need. Sadly it's advertised as being compatible with kinomap and after trying for ages to get it to work I contacted kinomap. It does link to the bike via Bluetooth but there's no resistance at all. Kinomap have replied telling me that vanswe does not work on thier ap. You can connect via FTMS and follow the maps but that's it no resistance no difference whether on flat ground or on a hill. Kinomap said they will contact vanswe and see if they want adding to the compatibility list but have said the best thing when buying a bike is to check on the kinomap site first and look at the list of compatible makes. Sadly we did that after and its not on there. It's also not on the list of compatible zwift list either. But i havent triws yo connect it to that one 🤷‍♀️So I guess we will watch the scenery and increase the resistance ourselves. It's put a real downer on the bike to be honest because it is a great little bike and fits all of us here from 5' to my husband over 6' and takes the weight that was needed. If you're buying this to use in conjunction with one of the aps then look into it deeper first. Otherwise buy and enjoy 😊

This item is pathetic and built extremely cheap. I would not recommend it to anybody. Buying a $150 bike from Bunnings would be a much better choice. My bike I purchased failed (belt broke) just outside of a year and the seller has shown no signs of helping me to get it repaired. Pathetic seller and pathetic product. DO NOT BUY!!!

I was reading reviews all over the place - some said it would live up to all of its 380 lbs weight capacity, others said it probably wouldn't be good for anyone over 200 lbs. I have found that it is very sturdy, and the capacity given is probably accurate. It's really sturdy for such an inexpensive exercise bike. I've ridden a regular bike, but new to a recumbent exercise bike, and I find the lower tension levels to be plenty for someone just starting out with this kind of equipment. I did not experience any noise, it was very smooth. I'm not using the pulse sensor so I can't comment on that, but as someone who's short and round, this bike works great - the seat back leans slightly back which can be helpful for folks who have a tummy that might get in the way when pedaling. I am not really using the screen since I just track with my own wrist tracker, but it does measure distance, time, etc. And there's a place you can put a book or your tablet or phone to entertain you while you pedal. I'm 5'1" and it's completely fine for me, the seat easily glides back and forth and locks in place to adjust to different heights. It's relatively small which is good for a small space. It is a long process to put together, and easier with 2 people, but following the visual instructions is pretty straightforward. I definitely recommend!

It was a little worried when I saw how small it was as I thought it would be a little bit bigger but it's actually very comfortable.. It took me 2 hours approximately to assemble but I'm not usually very good at that kind of thing..Pros: Affordable.Quiet: It's really smooth and quiet when you are riding it.Compact : I think it's only 43 in long so it doesn't really take up a lot of room. I have it next to my treadmill in the garage and still have plenty of room.Tension : The click shift to change the tension is really good. It's very nice that there are 16 different settings which gives you a lot more options for how tough or easy you want it to be. And it's just one click to change it to the next setting so it's very well done and easy to change during the workout. It'sCons:As a few other people have mentioned the computer on it is basically useless. The heart rate monitor is so inaccurate it's laughable and most of the information on the computer is not close to accurate. There's a reason that I'm good treadmills and bikes and other workout equipment you have to enter your weight and your height and your sex so that it can give a fair estimation of how many calories you're burning but a bike with a computer that doesn't ask for any of that information can't give you even a close estimate of how many calories you're really burning. A person who weighs 200 lb is going to burn a lot more calories than a person that weighs 150. I just used the computer as a gauge to compare to previous and future workouts. (The instruction book does come with a fitness app you can download that's supposedly connects with Bluetooth to the computer but the app only has a 1.5 out of 5 star review on Google)Size: I am 5'10 in about 160 lb and the bike is comfortable for me. I have a lot of workout experience on different equipment and I have a hard time believing this would be comfortable for someone up to 6'2 like it says. And even though it's fairly sturdy I don't think that this would be a good bike for someone up to 280 lb as the seller suggests. I think for women and seniors and for people about my size it's perfect but I think it's probably a little bit small for somebody that's much heavier they might want to go with a little bit heavier duty better bike.No cup holder. That last one is just a little nitpick. It's pretty uncommon though for workout equipment not to have a holder for your drink nowadays but I wouldn't let that be a deal breaker.Overall: I am happy with the purchase. I spend about 80% of my time on the treadmill but I wanted a bike. I probably would have gone with a higher end bike if I was going to use it more but this is going to be more than adequate and I think it's a good value for the money.

I don’t really write reviews. Shame because I look at them all the time. Don’t really know how to do it and I think it takes too much of my time. The same way I really hate to read assembly instructions. I just don’t have the patience for it. So I let my wife handle that - my wife finds reading those instructions challenging.This time is much different. I am exited about writing this review because I am really satisfied with my purchase of the Vanswee Recumbent Bike.I am a bicycling enthusiast. It’s been two months since I had spine surgery - a three level laminectomy from L2-3, L3-4 and L 4-5 as a result of severe and progressive Spinal Stenosis. The orthopedic surgeon told me that I cannot ride for some time. It may be 6 months plus.So I have to find a way to get those cycling muscles active and ready for when he gives me the okay to ride again.I asked him for exercise alternatives such as a treadmill and exercise bike. He said okay for the treadmill but no for any exercise bike because of my forward bending position of my back. Then I asked about a recumbent bike. After giving it some thought he said fine with the recumbent bike.So I immediately started my search ... so many ... so varying prices. I wanted something neat and affordable. The search lead me to the Vanswe Recumbent Exercise Bike 16 Levels Resistance 380 lbs with adjustable seat.I found it basic, stylish and beautiful in silver/black. With transport wheels / Bluetooth connectivity for Seniors workout and most important for me very “affordable”.I ordered it through Amazon on March 12 with expected delivery March 25. Long wait but I wanted it so I accepted the wait. To my total surprise the bike was delivered on March 18. How it happened I didn’t care. The fact is that it was delivered way ahead of time. I was really happy for that.Now the hard part - anxiety was setting in because I had to assemble it and I hate reading instructions. I left it in the box unopened for two days. Finally I opened the box and started removing all parts from the box. Every part was so perfectly put in the box that I told my wife that no human could have everything in the box so tightly - it had to be a machine.After I removed all parts from the box and lay them down on the floor I realized how neat everything was. The hardware was neatly marked and packaged. The instructions were So Perfect that I was amazed at how simple it was to assemble the bike. I was really exited about how easy to read simple the instructions were. Everything matched perfectly. Even my wife made the comment that she had never seeing better down to the letter instructions. To my surprise, assembling this bike was an amazing experience. It also rides very quiet.Wait, that’s not all ... I had some questions about the bike. So I called the company’s Support representative. The young man very respectfully listen to my inquiries and asked me to email them all of my concerns or questions. So I did. In less than 36 hours I received a response. That was satisfying. But wait, they even called me to discuss my questions. Who does that ? The gentleman was courteous, respectful and truly caring about my questions about the bike. These people are Awesome. Outstanding !!!I’m having fun with my recumbent bike. It’s great.In these times of very rare caring and service for customers, shocking or not, I have to say that this people are the Very Best.

I am so glad this product exists. I am very overweight (300+ lbs), recovering from ankle reconstruction surgery, and desperately trying to get healthy, lose weight, and take care of my body. Cycling is pretty much my only option for low impact cardio, but I had a very difficult time finding an affordable exercise bike that could hold my weight and fit in a tiny apartment.After thorough research I settled on this Vanswe bike. The price was right and it was one of the few exercise bikes made with people like me in mind. It arrived within a week and I had no issues assembling it. It took me maybe 90 minutes and I did it alone. Some of the parts are kind of heavy/awkward, so it might be a little easier with some help. It fit effortlessly in my microscopic living room, and the wheels make it really easy to move around.I tested it out immediately because I was worried it wouldn’t be strong enough or stable enough for me too use. I was pleasantly surprised and spent the next 20 minutes cycling away. The seat is surprisingly comfortable, though the longer your workout is, the less comfortable it gets.One of my favorite things is that it’s virtually silent, even at high speeds. It is strong and stable enough to support my weight no matter the intensity of my workout. I have been using it twice a day for a couple months now, and it still feels like new and as stable as ever. Between this and altering my diet, I have lost 22 pounds since January 4th, 2021.Worth every penny and perfect for those who are overweight and/or mobility impaired.
