F4H Olympic Rush ES705 Aerobic Indoor Cycling Bike

Ok, so let's start by putting this review into context, this bike cost less than £150 so if you want an all singing, all dancing bike go and pay £500 plus. I think for the cost, this bike is an exceptional purchase. I used to do a lot of spinning at my local gym so I'm in a good position to determine whether this bike performs, and so far I have to say it does!! I brought this when the threat of lockdown came from COVID-19 as it's a good form of exercise that can be done at home. The bike turned up on time, despite the crises, the external packaging was damaged but it packed sufficiently inside to ensure none of the components were damaged or missing. This was extremely easy to assemble, took about 20 minutes. The bike is very quiet, contary to previous reviews I had read, you get a bit of noise as you increase resistance as you'd expect but nothing major. It has a good range of features on the screen, calories, heart rate etc. Which appear fairly accurate (according to my Fitbit). The bike does everything you would expect and does not disappoint. Only issues I found which prevented 5 star review is that even on the highest setting the saddle is too low, I remedied this by drilling additional holes in the saddle support, there is plenty of room to do this so it begs the question why the manufacturer doesn't do it. I'm under 6 foot so I'd imagine this to be an issue for many. The other thing I'm not overly keen on is that the handlebars wobble a bit even when tightened up, which is a bit off-putting whilst exercising. All in all a fantastic purchase, would definitely recommend.

The only thing I can mark this bike down for is the seat sturdiness ie the bracket that holds it to the bike it could be more substantial apart from that it's great value for money quite smooth and sturdy enough and I'm 15st go for it

Good quality, sturdy bike which is perfect for some home spinning/interval workout.Instructions were quite clear to me (having seen earlier reviews saying they were a bit complex) but essentially it comes with just the stabilisers, saddle, handlebars and pedals to fit. Took me little over 30 minutes to achieve.The flywheel is a good weight and once you get going you feel you are getting a really good work-out and work up a really good sweat. You feel it's done you good when you finish which is all you can ask for! I agree with the comments on the saddle - as a cyclist myself I find wearing my padded shorts a benefit and we are investing in a gel saddle just to take the "bite" off!The resistance offered is impressive - at full pressure I could not move the flywheel even with all of my weight on the pedal!!It's probably not gym spec - but having never used one at the gym I couldn't compare - but as far as a home exercise bike goes it's the closest I've experienced to riding a bike out on the road.

It is good for the price you pay for it. It could do with more range on saddle adjustment as it only moves forwards and backwards a couple of centimeters. The pads on the handlebars for time trial position get in the way if you don't want to spend your whole time in a crouched position. But most importantly of all CHANGE THE SADDLE! If you are female the saddle of this bike has a lump where a female saddle has a cut away which I discovered after a week or two of real pain. I can't wait to get back on it with my road bike saddle once the bruising goes down.

Got the bike easy to set up but as its chain driven its very loud and vibrates the house. After a handful of goes the screen stopped working. Changed the batteries didn't fix. Overall slightly disappointing

I like this bike, being 5ft 11 I read previous reviews and was a little nervous regarding the seating height of this. Fits well however I'm slightly disappointed with the seat as it moves quite a lot when you are on it peddling away.

came with scratched frame, broken plastic cover on the wheel, thread on the left pedal is damaged - can't be connected - I have to re-threaded. Package was damaged when arrived, so I guess the broken plastic cover and scratches were done somewhere on the way to me.

Really poor quality.Instructions are full of spelling mistakes, poorly printed, low resolution, and pretty much useless. It looks like the graphical diagrams have been badly re-sized as everything is aliased and distorted. Half way through building the bike, I then realise that one of the nuts provided has no thread, rending it useless as it can't actually be used to hold anything together (see picture attached).I could return the item, or contact the manufacturer, but I think it's probably going to be easier to pop to the local hardware store and pay for a replacement M8 70mm nut and bolt, unfortunately at my expense.I will update the review once I'm able to actually use the bike as intended!
