Pooboo Magnetic/Brake Pad Exercise Bike Stationary Bikes for home use, Indoor Cycling Bike with Built-In Bluetooth Sensor Compatible with Exercise bike apps& Pad Mount, Comfortable seat and Slant Board, Silent Belt Drive, 350LBS Capacity

This exercise bike seems very sturdy and I like that the seat can be moved forward or backward and up and down. The handlebar column can also be moved up or down. My husband put it together and the instructions say to use glue that’s provided to attach the right pedal. Just in case you need to know this!The bike is very quiet and I love that I can stand up and alternate between standing and sitting. I’m only moving at a slow, gentle pace so far.I’m a heavier female, and unfortunately the seat provided is too small, hard and narrow for me. The company sent me a seat cushion free of charge, but that doesn’t help with the size of the seat. I ordered a larger seat on Amazon and it’s a perfect fit for this bike.I do find that I need to position my feet exactly on the pedals since they aren’t that wide. I’m not using the baskets, so it’s good that both sides of the pedals have “teeth” to keep my feet securely on the pedals. You definitely need to wear sturdy athletic shoes when using this bike, especially if you want to stand up and pedal some of the time.I’ve used the electronic timer, but I haven’t tested out the Bluetooth feature yet.The D626 model is very attractive, and it doesn’t take up too much space.So far I’m loving it!Update: This has been a great purchase so far. I haven’t used any of the electronics or Bluetooth because I use my Apple Watch, but the bike is smooth and quiet and I’ve been standing up and pedaling more each time. I’ve also been using the foot baskets, but I haven’t tightened the straps.

This a pretty good exercise bike for the price. That said, it does have some issues that bear pointing out.Firstly, the seat is too small and very uncomfortable. It hurts my behind and the plumbing in my nether regions. First thing I did after riding on this bike once was order a new, wider and better cushioned seat. Pooboo (lol I said Pooboo) did send me a really nice gel seat cover after I emailed them. I was impressed--I thought it would be cheap, but it's a thick gel cover that should do wonders for my bum. I haven't tested it out yet because I'm using the new seat I bought.Secondly, the pedals are not wide enough. They are only 3 3/4" across ( I mean side to side, not front to back). Some of my shoe hangs over the edge of the pedal. So the next thing I'll be doing is ordering a set of larger pedals. Also, the pedal safety covers (or whatever they're called) are too small and too difficult to adjust. I couldn't even get my shoes into them. I took them off after the first ride.Thirdly, there isn't enough padding on the handlebars. There are some soft grips at the very ends of the handlebars, but nobody in their right mind leans that far forward. I have to cover the handlbars with towels to ease the pressure off my hands and wrists.Lastly, the instructions are damn-near impossible to read, because they are written by someone with a very poor command of the English language. It's very fortunate that all the parts are numbered and illustrated; otherwise I would not have been able to put this bike together.Now for the positives:The bike is easy to assemble. It took me a couple of hours, but that's only because I was going slow.It's very quiet. You don't have to worry about disturbing the neighbors or your dogs.The resistance is smooth. No peaks and valleys in the amount of effort required.The bike is affordable. Just keep in mind you'll have to replace the seat and maybe the pedals.The bike has bluetooth connectivity for the Zwift app.The tablet holder holds your tablet securely.I haven't had any problem with sqeaking or creaking.Overall, for the price I really can't complain. It's a good bike for the price. It gets my heart rate up, and that's what I was shooting for. On a bike, the seat is everything. So definitely ask for that seat cover, and if you've got a big butt like me, look into ordering an extra wide seat.

I have been wanting to get more exercise. Thus, started to attend a cycling class. However, being a mom and a wife is very challenging with conflicting schedules. I decided to upgrade the bike I had after visiting a class because it wasn’t sturdy enough for me to stand and ride. Since purchasing my new bike I no longer have that problem.This bike is so sturdy! I am able to listen to my Pelaton membership classes and ride. They are very rambunctious. The bike keeps up. The only thing I don’t like about the bike is it doesn’t keep your distance or have a heart rate monitor, which is why I have it 4/5. Since I have an Apple Watch, that isn’t so much of a problem. But would be nice to have it for the money. Also, the bike is comfortable but it became even better when the seller sent me a seat cover. It was very easy to install.

Of course we all want Pelatons, but let's be realistic. The cost of living in Los Angeles is insane and the income is insufficient. But, with this bike, I can get in the exercise and still buy groceries. Not only is it affordable, but such a huge step above my parents exercise bike. Gone are the days of the fan bike that is so loud it rattles the rooms 3 doors down. This thing is QUIET! Like I rode it during the football game sitting less than 2 feet from my husband and it never interfered with hearing even one call during that insane Eagles/Packers matchup. I don't love the app that accompanies the bike, but there are so many spinning videos for free in various places on the internet that I have found I really love using those along with my ride. All bike seats have been uncomfortable for me my entire life, so the fact that this one wasn't the best feeling on my butt bones wasn't surprising. However, the seller sent me a FREE gel seat cover that has really helped greatly.I am 4 months post-op from a heel spur/acchilles repair and regaining strength and stability has been a struggle. Regular rides on this bike are really helping keep the joint moving and building those muscles I lost during my downtime. So glad I chose this bike even though my Pelaton fomo was real.
