Good quality, compact and very quiet exercise bike. Quick assembly with no extra tools needed. Overall satisfied with purchase and highly recommended for the easy of use, quality, comfort and for value of money! Comes with two front wheels and cup holder a plus!

High quality and easy to install exercise bike. Comes with everything to put bike together, no extra tools needed. If paper instructions are not your thing, they have a link to YouTube with step by step instructions. It makes very little to no noise when in operation. The bike is compact and takes up little room. It collapses needing little storage place and the wheels help move it where you need it. The exercise bands and bottle holder are a plus. Very satisfied with purchase, highly recommended. Customer service has been great as far as following up for satisfaction. Through a later email from the company they sent a Bluetooth device with app to track progress on your phone, FREE of charge.

It's very comfortable Not hard to put together, they even send you a link to a YouTube video. The seat is cushy and doesn't hurt or rub. Very sturdy, I roll it around easily, even without folding it.

Pros: It's a great piece of equipment at a good budget! It's pretty small so fits in smaller spaces, not bulky at all. Pretty easy to build. Quality 'feels' good. Cons: Seat gets rather uncomfortable after a bit, have to get off and take a minute or my butt kind of goes numb. I've had it less than a month and it's already starting to creak. Might be something easy enough to fix with some spray, but when I sit back on the seat it makes it squeaky as I pedal. It's a good piece of equipment for the price, just don't expect a Peloton. It does what it needs to do.

UPDATE ii: I love this thing. I love the elastic pulls - upper body/lower body same time. I've done about 135 minutes total this week and expect to grow that to at least 150min/wk. It's quiet and solid and well-priced. In my past, I've had another stationary bike, a Nordic Track cross-trainer, a treadmill, a big, heavy elliptical, and a MaxiClimber. They were all good - I used several of them until they died, but I think this gear is the best combination of small, solid, lightweight, sturdy, easy to use and move out of the way again (in my home office). The electronic display is simple and great. Two thumbs up. UPDATE: Got my first couple days' use in and I still love this gear just as much. Great value and utility. I like the elastic straps add - broadens the workout impact. Just finished assembling my new pooboo X-81912 'stationary bike'. It arrived 4-5 days earlier than promised. The 10-minute on-line setup video, very helpful, matched my experience exactly. The User’s/Setup Manual also has a QR code to take you to setup videos using your phone camera. Numerous additional things discovered in assembly make me love this gear. If you're in a hurry, at $175 for a casual workout bike, you should just buy it. Here's some other thoughts: The stated Load Limit on this is about 300 lbs. I’m a guy, 5’6” 205. If I was 50 lbs heavier (and not 72 yrs old), maybe it would not feel quite as firm and rigid as I’d want during heavy workouts. To be clear, I am very impressed with the quality of the design, its material strength, and its fit and finish, but let’s be fair – at this price point, maybe you’re not getting a piece of gear that will stand up forever to your 240 lbs college linebacker son. (My kids have their own gear – not my problem.) The shipping box is compact (would fit in a small car trunk) but heavy for one person: 10"x15"x35" & 45 lbs. Assembled, it’s about 40 lbs. What I love - Although there are numerous steps to assembly, the instructions are straight forward and no step is hard or confusing. There's a small blister pack of bolts and nuts and tools, but many bolts are seated in place where they're destined to be which makes it easy to know you've got the right part(s). (See that assembly video I mentioned.) The included socket wrench is easy to use so don't over-tighten the bolts going through tubular sections - you could collapse them a bit if you’re too tight. Many of the nuts are “dome nuts” which is nice because they hide the bolt ends so you won’t be catching clothing or dust mops, whatever, on exposed bolt ends. Many of the bolts are “carriage bolts” – they have a square section under the head to they won’t twist as you tighten the nut at the other end (which cuts time and frustration). Most of the nuts have nylon inserts so they are self-locking. They won’t come loose on you. (You spin the nut on starting with the non-nylon side, then tighten down into the nylon.) The pedals are installed with adhesive (12-hr dry time) on the threads so you won’t have them loosening up on you. (I have installed initially without the adhesive so I’ll see if I want to come back and add that later – no big deal.) Another nice little touch is the washers included throughout. Anywhere they are adjacent to a tubular member (a pipe), the washers are curved for a good, snug fit and a more finished look. Another nice little touch – the water bottle holder is actually adjustable so you can snugly stow a range of different-sized water bottles (in front of the bike). The electric monitor mounted easily and wire connectors snap in place securely. (Two AAA batteries, not included.) The monitor shuts off by itself if it’s idle (which might seem like a given but I have another piece of gear where it doesn’t and I finally just gave up trying to keep a fresh battery in it). Plus, as assembled, you have easy access to replace the batteries as required. (My unit is new so I have no idea how often that will be – that other piece of gear I have was a real pain to replace the batteries which died often.) I’m looking forward to using the elastic resistance bands integrated into the bike design (two different attachment points). Also, there’s dual-position “handle bars” – in front of you (traditional position), and at the sides of your seat. Both sets are present at all times so you don’t have to stop to adjust the setup – just grab the other bars on the fly. At this point, this thing is completely silent when I ride it. I see no reason it won’t stay that way over time. I find the seat to be pretty comfortable; so is the seat back. The resistance seems to have six settings – from way too easy to just too hard. I’m happy with the 4th or 5th resistance level. Fully assembled and configured for me (upright position), this unit is 36” front to back, 20” wide (the hip handlebars are widest part), and 45” tall - very compact. This is the sixth piece of indoor gear I’ve purchased over the past 40 years and the only thing more compact is a simple “under desk” stationary bike (and I always bang my knees when I use that). One more thing – because this unit is fairly lightweight and compact, it can stay close at hand for frequent use most of the time, and then be moved to the garage or basement should events require. I have a very nice standup, elliptical machine, also, but it’s huge and stuck away in the far end of the basement where I no longer seem to get down to it – hence, this new purchase which fits in my office in front of my desk and computer screen. Although it’s still brand new, based upon what I’ve seen so far, I would highly recommend this gear as being of sound quality, suitable functionality and a competitive price for serious fitness workouts (but in a home, not commercial gym setting).

Update: Aug 2025. After 3 months of using my PooBoo stationary bike I love it. I even convinced my mother to get one. She is 79 and had a stroke a year ago. My dad has to help her to get on and off, but we're hoping it will be good therapy for her. I think my dad wants to tey it too. Ive had no problems so far. The two issues I mentioned in my first review below have either been fixed or mine was just a fluke because my mom's bike that we bought and received this week did not have those same issues. I wish Pooboo made a fold up treadmill. June 2025: I have had the bike for a couple of weeks now and am pleased. It is sturdier than it looks. I had no trouble assembling it. There are three minor issues with my bike but they do not affect the performance. 1. No matter how hard I try I cannot get the front handle bars to stay completely tight. They do not come completely loose they just have a slight movement if I pull on them. Since I have no need to pull them while riding, it's not a problem. I notice it mostly when I'm getting on and off of the bike 2. The little display box. The back side of the box that came with my bike has a sharp edge. The front part is smooth but the back is sharp enough to cut your hand. When holding the bottom of the handlebars my hands rub the side of the box. I've cut myself twice now on my index finger. It's an easy fix though, you can wrap tape around it or you can take some fine grit sandpaper and smooth it down. I took the more creative route and crocheted a band to go around it. 3. The straps that go on the pedals to hold your foot on while you're riding are a real pain to get on and off, but I guess that could be a good thing. Your foot isn't going to come off the pedal while you're riding. The little control box that gives you your heart rate and your speed and your distance is a little dated, but for the price you're paying for the bike I think it's about where it should be. I wish it gave you an RPM reading as well since most online bike/spin classes go by RPMs. I just made a rough chart of equivalent MPH to RPM and attached it to my bike just under the box. If you're a 2 or 3 day a week exerciser who has trouble with their knees, this is your bike. If you're a professional cyclist trying to train this is not your bike. 😂 Overall, this is a great bike for someone who isn't in shape and is looking for a cardio workout. Just be careful though. I was watching a biking video and they went around a curve and I wad leaning with them and almost fell off the bike 🤣

This folding exercise bike exceeded my expectations. Assembly was very easy and straightforward — all the necessary tools were included in the box, and I had it set up in no time. The design is extremely user-friendly. Whether you’re tall or short, the bike adjusts well: the seat and pedals are comfortable and easy to reach for different heights, which makes it great for anyone in my household. One of my favorite features is the resistance cords. They provide excellent tension, enough to really get a pump going while you’re riding. Alternatively, you can also just use the bike for isolated arm workouts by simply sitting on it and focusing only on the resistance bands. Overall, it’s a versatile, well-built, and convenient piece of equipment that fits into small spaces and delivers a solid workout. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to purchase a folding exercise bike!

If you are taller than 6'0" this is not for you. I asked prior to ordering if this bike was suitable for a user 6'2" (~188cm) and the response either from the distributor or the manufacturer assured me that it was. I was also told that the inseam of my legs (35") was the MOST IMPORTANT measurement to determine whether the bike was appropriate for me because the user should get a full extension of the leg on the down pedal . And I was told again that this model was appropriate for me. LIES! For this model to be "appropriate" for me, the seat needs to extend at the very least, 3 inches (~7.5cm) farther up than its current maximum. Other than the obvious misrepresentation of acceptable user height/inseam, the bike works fine. It's operation is smooth and mostly quiet and the seat is comfortable. It was a GIANT PITA to assemble and I'm pretty mechanically inclined - but I do have a leg that has been broken twice and severe arthritis in that knee so crawling around on the floor is oh, let's see, excruciating would be close enough. And BTW, that's the primary reason I bought the thing to begin with: To exercise the knee because riding a traditional bike in 10 feet of snow probably would involve a second broken leg. Lastly, I'm on a fixed income and live in a small Cape Cod style house so I'm limited on space and the size of equipment that will actually fit.
