Product Information

This bike is also super-quiet so ideal if you want to watch TV or not disturb your family or house-mates. For those people there are two alternatives – do very little exercise or find ways to work out that fit your lifestyle. If cycling is your thing then an exercise bike for the home can be an ideal choice. For those who are limited on space then a folding exercise bike is a top choice. There is an easy-access drawer to hold any items you may need and a massage roller to make typing comfortable while exercising. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy one. For some people, the idea of going to the gym is either mentally off-putting, can’t fit in with their schedule or is financially out of reach.

You can also invest in a roller bike stand, which elevates your whole bike and allows both wheels to spin. Again, the resistance is adjustable. Does an exercise bike tone your stomach? To help you work out which is the best exercise bike for you, we put them to the sweat test! We installed each of the bikes in our homes for at least a month, and put them to the test over a number of different workouts. We looked at how easy the bike was to use, the range of classes on offer, and how engaging and easy to follow these classes were. Designed for users of all ages, the manufacturer calls this model a “semi-recumbent” because they’ve made it easy for users of all mobility levels to get on and off the unit. When folded, the F-Bike measures up at just 39cm wide and 129cm in height so it can be easily stored away from sight – the under the stairs cupboard springs to mind as a perfect place for it to live when not in use. Our ranking system The TopChoice.co.uk Team selects top-of-the-line items from a wide selection and conducts rigorous evaluations on almost all the products available on the internet. We rank each product based on how well it matches our criteria.There are dual pulse rate monitors on the handles that relay heart rate information to the 3.5″ LCD display along with other important data such as distance, speed, time and calorie expenditure. The display is easy to use and easy to read too with the main data displayed taking up most of the screen. The height of the seat can easily be adjusted and is suitable for users between 5’3″ and 6’1″. The peddles are very comfortable and pretty wide and feature a non-slip finish and straps to keep your feet in place.

Want to take your workouts virtual using online training platforms like Zwift? Then you're going to need an exercise bike that's able to broadcast your efforts via Bluetooth or ANT+. Wenoker Exercise Bike Magnetic Resistance Indoor Cycling Bike Stationary for Home Gym Use with LCD Display, Tablet Holder & Comfortable Seat Cushion for Cardio Workout Utilising a magnetic resistance system, the SONGMICS produces a smooth and quiet riding experience. That said, if you prefer to do your own thing while in the saddle, or you’re perfectly happy riding along to classes on your phone or tablet, the Yosuda Indoor Stationary Cycling Bike would make a fantastic, cost-effective addition to any home gym. It has an adjustable seat, which is extremely comfortable when cycling. The bike itself comes with a number of different resistance levels and workout options to help you raise your heart rate. If you use the “Explore the World by Bowflex” Fitness App, you can virtually ride along some scenic routes; free scenic routes includeZion National Park, Route 66, and the French Riviera. There are also a number of heart rate training options on the platform, which encourage you to stay in a certain "zone" to burn calories, or just keep working through the whole session.Like the other two bikes above, the AtivaFit has 8 levels of magnetic resistance can this can easily be adjusted thanks to the controller for this being towards the top of the bike where your hands can easily access. The flywheel and magnetised resistance are almost silent so you this is also a top choice for anyone who needs to workout quietly – for example if you are working out once the kids have gone to bed. Whether a foldable exercise bike is a good option for you or not is a question that only you can answer. These levels don’t differ too much, and I would have liked the max resistance to be slightly tougher. Then there is the height of the seat, which isn’t as adjustable as some users would like and appears to be better suited to shorter, female users. A shorter saddle like this doesn’t allow for the extension and range of motion needed on the pedals. The Domyos mini bike is a versatile piece of kit and a super cheap way to get into fitness at home.

Although it's slightly more expensive than the Peloton bike out of the box, it's a better deal overall as the membership is free for an entire year. We found the main downside of the Yosuda is the exclusion of cadence from its LCD monitor. This number, which is a measurement of your pedals’ revolutions per minute, is frequently used in many popular cycling classes (like the offerings from Peloton and Apple Fitness Plus). While it is possible to just match an instructor’s leg speed to the best of your ability, having an exact cadence displayed helps to keep you honest with your perceived effort. Eight resistance levels add tension to the workout, allowing users to find the perfect resistance for burning calories and room for improvement.The SONGMICS exercise bike is straightforward, easy to assemble and the compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for those who want to maximise storage. The Marcy dual action air-resistance fan exercise bike is a great option for those looking for a full-body workout. If you're just starting out and you're not used to much exercise, whatever you can manage is good going.
