AKONZA Indoor Stationary Exercise Bicycle with Shock Absorption Trainer LED Time Speed Distance + Water Bottle, Black/Red/White

A little background...My wife was looking for a spin bike to see if she liked it. The Peloton commercials caught her interest, but was way over what we wanted to spend. It has been 3 weeks since I received this bike.Assembly:If you can use a screwdriver, allen wrench and a boxed end wrench, then you will have no problem assembling this bike. I did it with the "help" of a 4 year old in 15 minutes using my own tools. The tools provided will get the job done (just not as fast). During assembly, I noticed one of the plastic covers that go over the front axle, protecting your feet from the end of the bolt was cracked. A little super glue gel and a couple of minutes and it was back to new. Everything else was in perfect condition.Mods:At the time I purchased this bike, I also bought a universal mount cell phone holder ($10, to simulate the Peloton experience). After moving the provided cycling computer to the right of its original location, that was installed also. The bike came with a nice mens racing road bike seat, OK for me...not so much for my wife. That was easily swapped out for a woman's racing seat $10 with Prime and 2 days later she was back in business. The only other thing changed is my wife didn't need the water bottle and holder, so it was removed.Final Thoughts:Overall we are very satisfied with the product. The ride is smooth, quiet and comfortable (after the new seat).Pros:40 lb fly wheelSturdy frameEasy to assembleSturdy frameCons:Broken plastic pieceLimited on board computerWater bottle placement

I used to take spin classes at a gym for years but wanted to do it at home without having to pay for a gym membership, deal with other people and gym class schedules or music that I hated. I refuse to spend the money on something like a Peloton so decided to buy this one and give it a try.Pro: Great price point, Easy to assemble, Foot cages instead of clips so you don't need special shoes, allows to crank to a decent resistance and a smooth ride without choppiness.Cons:1. The seat is horrifically uncomfortable, I bought a gel seat cover that's a bit bigger and fits over the seat. I spend a lot of time out of the seat but if you are looking for a bike to just sit and peddle it definitely is not recommended without a seat replacement.2. One of the nuts that attaches is not threaded properly so I could not get it to catch with the washer. I had to not use a washer on that one until I go and buy a different nut.3. Not long after getting the bike and using it the right pedal is clicking, especially when in a higher resistance and if I'm standing, I'm trying to figure out if I can fix it.4. Another noise and shaking that I finally found the source to...there is a shock under the seat which is moving like a shock is supposed to but in front of the water bottle holder where the seat portion is connected is rubbing metal on metal and is both annoying and concerning the way the seat wobbles. I have tightened every nut that I'm able to so I'm not sure what else can be done. It has limited some of the moves that I'd like to be doing because I'm afraid it's going to break.5. The water bottle holder is small and only fits the bottle that comes with the bike6. The "computer" that comes with it is garbage, cheap plastic that looks terrible and has the same technology from the 1980s treadmills. I threw it away and don't even bother.

So I bought this bike bc it fit my budget. After some mods as well as stuff breaking in just a few weeks of owning this I realized I should have just spent all the extra money on a more expensive bike. A few days into owning and using this, the seat just wasn't sitting correctly. Bought a new one but bc of the seat adapter the new seat is slanted downward. Not a big deal but something to note. After about a week of heavy use the computer wire broke and started moving around inside the belt casing. So now that the computer doesnt work. After using it tonight the peddle on the right side of the machine is now making a clicking and grinding noise. I've had this machine for exactly a month and its completely falling apart. Not mad at the company, not mad for buying it, it still works as a machine, I'll just be buying a more reliable bike when I'm looking to replace this unit.

This is a great bike! It arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. Despite the cheaper price, it is very sturdily made. It easily fits my height (5’ 8”). The odometer is in miles instead of km (which many of the more expensive brands don’t offer). I’ve used it several times. My only complaint is the seat is uncomfortable but that was an easy fix. Otherwise I recommend this product.

Product went together fairly easily. My mother in law was concerned the seat felt too wobbly when she sat on it, so we had to tighten a lot of the joints and the shock which came preassembled. After a little tweaking she was happy.

What can I say about this bike trainer. To be honest it is just a warm up bike for me. The parts are easy to put together but, when you are putting the pieces together you must put in a lot of force in order to piece it together. For example putting the seat holder/seat adjustment on the bike frame. The pedals are not that great. The bike has an old school style to it. But the red paint job is great. The resistance on the bike doesn’t is not that great because only the styrofoam is putting friction towards the flywheel. The bike creaks and sometimes I get scared riding it. Also, if you’re not use to a stabilizer on the bike frame the seat will go down a little bit. The seat was so uncomfortable that I had to change the seat to a Schwin upright seat. It made it more comfortable for me to continue my training. Great beginner bike only

The bike arrived quickly and it was a very easy assembly. Its lightweight and the wheels make it easy to move from room to room. I didn't like the thin seat though. Its fine for me, but my wife was sore after a while. I had to replace the seat with a wider, more comfortable one.

I’ve only just begun to use it but very sturdy very well-built and easy to put together. Just like the spin bikes in the gym and a great price
