PROGEN NEW HEAVY DUTY SPIN 18KG FLYWHEEL AEROBIC TRAINING BIKE EXERCISE BIKE FITNESS BIKE HOME FITNESS GYM LED MONITOR (FREE WATER BOTTLE INCLUDED)

I’d been wanting to buy an exercise bike for ages but due to my weight (30st) any such bikes that would support this were hundreds if not thousands of pounds. Having a family, other priorities always came first financially. When I found this bike at first I was dubious given it’s price as it was half the price the cheapest bariatric bike I’d found. I bought it anyway and knew if I wasn’t satisfied I could send it back as Amazon are pretty good handling returns. Well, I wasn’t disappointed. This is an excellent fitness bike. It was easy to put together, the instructions were clear and it is very robust. Even at my weight when cycling it feels very sturdy and safe. The ‘computer’ is a little on the basic side but it does everything a causal user would need E.g. Distance, KCal, Time etc: The mobile phone holder is a nice addition especially if you want some motivating music videos. The handle bars and seat is fully adjustable and at 6ft 5ins it was easy to find a decent position. The only downside I’d say is the seat itself as it’s very narrow and hard, especially given my size. I ended up buying a different seat off of Amazon that’s indicated for heavy people and is really cushioned. The result is a bike that is affordable, comfortable, robust and enjoyable to use. No more excuses for me!! I would definitely recommend this to any person in a similar situation.

A good bike all in all, but in the description it says that it has extended seat post. at 6 foot 3 inches tall, if i go to the highest setting, the saddle is way to low for me. I have skipped past it and used the locking pin to clamp the seat post in place as tight as i can, and it is nearly high enough. If your tall like me, look for something else. With regards to the actual bike, it is easy to assemble, and works really well.

I wanted to wait a while before leaving a review to make sure this bike was worth the money. The answer is, absolutely. I found it easy to assemble and use. The flywheel is a nice heavy one compared to most bikes in this price range, which allows for better strength training. I replaced the seat with one for my more than ample buttocks! The one that it came with was sufficient but you can also buy a gel seat cover to go over for extra comfort. The digital monitor is easy to use and understand and was easy to fit too. If you want an exercise bike with a decent weight flywheel, on a budget, then this is the bike for you.

Have other people on here reviewed a different model or something?First of all the bike is tiny, I am only 5'10" and on its highest seat setting it is still slightly to small for me, but it's an ok fit for my wife who's 5'1".Next thing Is people on other reviews have said it is sturdy. I completely disagree with this, even on light resistances the whole thing bends and flexes all over the place. Seat post and handlebar stem are both very bendy and feel like they are going to break at any minute.The saddle is horrible. Very uncomfortable and creaks like mad when pedaling, which is very annoying.I don't like the computer on it, it is lacking an rpm counter which for me is the main thing I want to see while pedaling.Only good thing I can say about it is the flywheel is nice and smooth & quiet in operation.Overall I would not recommend this bike at all.

Bought this because I didn't want to fork out for a Pelo***. I've had it 3week now and these are a few reflections.Sturdiness: I'm 5'10 and 154lbs, using the bike seated it fine no problems,but if you are doing a spin class that required out of seat climbs. This bike is gonna wobble and move.Comfort: it's a spin bike, never been on a comfy one.Build quality: it's cheap to buy and that is reflected. It's easy to put together however my seat arrived with the plastic connector in the wrong way had to take apart, the seat and handle bars are Very stiff to move even with WD40, and it's difficult to get the right hight..Resistance and noise: the resistance nob is very light, would be nice if the monitor registered resistance rather than HR. Also mine is VERY noisey at low resistance due to juddering, WD40 to the rescue again.Even with all that it's a good cheap starter bike with a decent 18kg flywheel. Would I buy the again, no, but at the moment it fits it's purpose! Also bin the free bottle, mine stunk of mothballs and couldn't get ride of it.On the seller. Delivery was good and arrive really quick!

First let me say that it's years since I was on a bike so I am by no means an expert but with the winter approaching I thought I would by a cheap bike and give it a go. Having did a little research I settled on this one firstly because of the weight of the flywheel and secondly because it has a leather pad for braking, it's a bit better than the felt pad and replacements are 2 for a fiver on ebay although after 2 months of daily use I've not dented the first one. The bike is good to ride if put together properly, the first time I set it up I threw it together and it started squeaking and creaking everywhere so here are my setup tips. Use some sort of grease for the seat and handlebar shaft both on the metal and plastic sleeve, buy some blue locktite for the pedals and adjustor knobs (note if you need to adjust it for someone else don't do this), get a better seat, before use spray a little WD40 on a tissue and wipe the wheel edge just makes it a bit smoother. Check the flywheel alignment mine was a little to the right. Like others have said the "computer" is a little basic but I only use it for distance as I have set routines I go through so it's fine for me but for the money and with a little effort I don't think you can go wrong.
