Review on ATIVAFIT Exercise Bike: Foldable Fitness Indoor Cycling With Resistance Bands - Home Workout! by Joshua Ford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost 2000miles in - Great value comes with a few quirks.

After almost 2000miles.Pros - price, assembly, footprint and the gallons of sweat produced/calories burned/Netflix shows watched I would have never watched otherwise.Cons - Flywheel area will likely eventually make noise - not an easy 'fix'. Seat isn't comfortable for long rides (get a gel cover). If you're over 6' tall, you're likely gonna bump your knees on the bar in some forward positions.Pandemic had me working from home and needing to be less stagnant. Bought this bike which I chose mostly on review count and cost. I didn't need fancy - I needed something to pedal and burn calories. That is definitely this bike.The Pros above speak for themselves and are what you likely expect/want - but what you are really reading this for is to know is the Cons. I knocked a star off primarily for the flywheel/resistance/housing eventually making noise at about 600miles in (so fairly 'new'). It was an odd clicking/tap - loud enough to distract from whatever I was streaming on TV and you could 'feel' it ever so slightly. Unfortunately, you cannot just take off the wheel housing - I had to cut that shell in half (dremel style) to expose the insides and WD40 the thing into the next century. Ever since (took a few applications over a few weeks) it has been great. Not something you should have to do, but at least down the road, I can do it again. -1 star.The seat is fine but quickly feels like stone. Get a cover. And if you're over 6', your knees might bump the handlebar in some riding positions. I'm 6' and barely cleared the bars when I'd scoot forward.But those issues aside, this thing has been a champ. I don't use the pulse monitors/etc but do use odometer/distance/etc on the display and average a level 5 resistance. How the calorie counter knows what I'm burning?. is a mystery. But online calculators aren't too far off from what it claims.
