KeppiFitness Recumbent Exercise Bike, Recumbent Bike for Adults with Magnetic Resistance, Exercise Bike for Home 380LB Capacity, Cardio Stationary Bikes for Seniors with Pulse Sensor

This is third time I've purchased a recumbent bike (2 from other brands) and I think I finally got it right! KeppiFitness makes a high-quality bike for a great price. Unlike other bikes I've had, this one took me very little time and effort to put together. The bike is incredibly comfortable, allowing me to enjoy longer workouts without any back or butt pain. It operates smoothly and quietly, which is a huge plus for me since I usually exercise while watching TV. The adjustable settings make it easy to customize my workouts, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my fitness routine since I started using it. The quality of the bike is impressive, and it feels sturdy and well-built. Overall, KeppiFitness has exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended!

I purchased this exercise cycle because it was the cheapest that I could find with Prime shipping and an adjustable seat. I expected there to be some compromises with regard to quality/fit and finish. Imagine my surprise when I found the bike to be well-engineered and extremely solid.The box was more compact than I expected, but quite heavy. The pieces were packed very securely and there was no damage on arrival. Assembly was very straightforward with good pictures and well-labeled parts. The translation of Chinese to English in the text was worth a chuckle, but it got the point across.The "computer" is very simple, but I'll track my exercise using my Apple Watch, so I wasn't looking for anything high tech or web-connected. It displays speed, time and distance with a calorie calculation that I wouldn't trust. There is a pulse monitor on the handlebars, but it isn't accurate. Again, Apple Watch to the rescue.It is very smooth to ride, the seat adjusts easily and stays where I put it, and it is whisper quiet. Reading a book or listening to music while riding will be no problem. There are eight tension adjustment settings, which seems like more than enough for my needs.I'm impressed by how solid the unit is, how all of the holes lined up during assembly and how all of the screws went in without drama or sub-par threads. I think it's a bargain for the price paid and I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces.

Assembled 2/25/24Hubby had no issues putting together (he might have an advantage as an engineer). Took him about 30 minutes. All parts were included, nothing missing and everything fit together great. Seat is firm, just a very slight tilting when in use but nothing big. Very quiet when in use. Bike only makes a faint whooshing sound when in use. Straps for the foot pedals had to be adjusted to the widest option for my wide feet and they’re still a bit snug. I do wish they adjusted further or the straps were just two inches wider. Hubby said the straps are a little tight and difficult to adjust so make sure fit is good with your preferred workout shoes before securing them down.Very simple bike, which I love. Console runs solely on batteries, 2 AA are included. Be aware it does seem to eat batteries fairly quickly and keep some on hand. I had to replace mine after a month or so. Once it would not reset from the previous session when I pressed and held down the button so I had to remove and place back a battery to get it to do so.I just let it toggle through each mode on its Scan function, showing every one a few seconds at a time. Not sure Pulse is that accurate. Showed a pretty low pulse readout for me until I’m almost done with a 30 minute ride, then it shows over 100. Which has to be inaccurate as I’m absolutely sweating my butt off by mid-workout. That being said, I really feel like I’m getting a good workout on this thing. Granted, the resistance setting is on 3 but I’d been off exercising for a few months and need to work back up. Every time I finish, I can really feel it in my butt and inner and outer thighs.But the simplicity is nice. Had a great old school Proform treadmill (about 15 years or more old), no subscription mess/restrictions that too many “better” quality ones force today in order to even halfway work. Alas, I worked it to death and what’s available today with too much subscription stuff looked abysmal. Exercise bikes were the next option and probably better for my aging knees. But still too many come with subscriptions or features that are unnecessary. This one is great. Very simple, basic console and if you want a subscription style workout you can get that on a tablet device to use with this.The little shelf will hold my iPhone in a horizontal position great (will not fit in vertical position, probably the case) so I can still see the console readouts. The cupholder is just in reach enough for my short arms and can hold a 40 oz. Stanley style cup (mine is a just-as-good $4 version). I’m 5’2” and can adjust the seat great for my height. Scooting back all the way is good for my 6’ husband. Many of these bikes only really accommodate short or tall but this bike works for both of us. The seat itself is hard although one main reason I went with a recumbent bike is the wider seat. I cannot do the tiny seats on other bikes. The groin pain is real. Going to get a seat cushion one day and hopefully will fix the seat hardness issue.I’ve been using this bike for four months now, sometimes twice a day, and it’s wonderful. Great setup out of the box, challenging enough for me for a good workout (I started on resistance level 3, using 5 now) and hopefully it will last for a good long time. If it does, I’d definitely get another one some day. I feel it’s a great deal for the money. At the time I got it, Amazon offered a $50 off coupon which was nice. Shipping was awesome! Picked up two hours from us and delivered via Amazon’s own delivery service and a very nice delivery lady. She had a dolly and was able to place it in my garage for me. Gave her some bottled water for the road. Overall absolutely thrilled with the whole deal.
