sturdy and good looking ideal for a first exercise bike.
-
The rubber handle covers proved nigh on impossible to put on. It was awkward to set get the belt tightened so that there was resistance but still possible to move the wheels. The instructions were completely useless and I had to work out assembly myself.

Very good value for money. Due to the cost I thought that the bike would be very basic but I was pleasantly surprised that it is sturdy and you can change the tension in two ways. It was relatively easy to set up and doesn't take up a great deal of room up in the house.

Took me forever to put the pads onto the handle bars - not the easiest of tasks!

Price, size, fairly easy to put together. Basically its done the job for what i wanted, but don't expect excellent quality, it is what it is and i'm happy with it.

Seat is really really uncomfortable. Couldn't get the foam handlebar things on fully. The tension doesn't go up very high and the high settings are not very smooth.

Instructions for assembly not clear enough. Would prefer if could be folded up for easy storage when not in use. Not easy to read output screen clears after a few seconds and only shows last readout of 2 settings.

Easy to put together, took only the tools included, a little intuition and only 30mins. Its sturdy enough and not too loud, though not exactly quiet either. For your money you are getting a decent exercise bike.

Nothing that really stands out. you get what you pay for. I use it 3 or 4 times a week, and I can keep track of how many calories burned, distance travelled and total time. Its a little noisy but not too bad.

Its cheap and you don't need fancy gadgets that come with the more expensive ones. It does the job it needs to do.
-
Its heavy so it has to stay in the living room, and cannot be stored easily. (Unfortunatly if like me your intenstions are good but lack the motivation to use it, you run the risk of having a rather expensive clothes horse!)

The resistance could be tougher and getting the grips on the handle bars could be better. also the foot grips do come away easily, but these are small things.

the product was good value for money. it is quite steady. unlike others. the peddles are not t close to the gorund so makes it eaiser for use.
-
the cushions that go on the handle bars dont actually fit. the instructions that come with the bike for assembling it are useless and it was basically guess work all the way. no text was given just bad images. the monitior that gives you then information doesnt really explain very much and changes a lot when it shouldnt have. the belt for changing the level of the cycle is not much of a difference therefore for someone who is fit and wanted more of a intense work out this bike wouldnt be recommended.
