Cyclace Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser for Arm/Leg Exercise - Portable Mini Exercise Bike Desk Cycle, Leg Exerciser for Home/Office Workout,Black

After drooling for months over the super expensive popular cycling bike on the market, I decided to purchase this one to make sure that it wouldn't turn into a clothes rack like so many other exercise equipment purchases have at my friends' houses (I figured getting one for 15% of the price of the fancy one was a good "test run"). After having this bike for a month (the shipping was delayed and my package was showing as lost at one point but I still got it 3 weeks from my order date), I can say with enthusiasm that this was the best purchase and I won't be "upgrading" because this bike is sturdy, has a small footprint in my space, is easy to move around, has an excellent tablet/phone holder, and is comfortable (AND I use it-- which is the biggest bonus!).As a solo person, I worried about set up. The hardest thing was pushing the package in my house. After that, SUPER EASY to put together. You may grunt a bit while lifting it to put the front stand on (that was the only time while putting it together that I thought "dang this little thing is heavy!") but after that it is so simple. They supply you with everything you need PLUS spares of all screws/bolts.Like any cycling bike, you need to work up to longer rides while your bones get used to the seat (suggestion: grab a cheap pair of bike shorts while you are "breaking it in" to make it a bit easier). I have mine in front of a smart tv and often use the subscription app from the fancy bike place and it works beautifully. I don't feel like I'm missing anything (I don't really want people yelling out my name or need to have my name on a leaderboard anyway). I have also used it with my tablet-- playing games or reading while I'm cycling.I'm not a little thing and this bike is super sturdy and I do not worry even as I stand to cycle.Two "ehhhh" things: the little electronic measuring device never worked on mine. But it is so basic and I go based more on time cycling than distance that I don't feel like it matters. Also, the water bottle holder was broken from the time I received it (I'm not sure why this piece comes assembled as I think it broke in transit). Often I just put my water bottle on the space for the tablet holder or move my bike closer to the coffee table to hold my bottle. So, again, not a deal breaker but an annoyance.Overall, I highly recommend this bike. I think it is probably just as good as the super fancy one (albeit I have to supply my own tv/tablet but that's easy!). I'll be sticking with the Cyclace!

Overall I’m very impressed with this bike. It was inexpensive, but you’d never know by the quality of the parts or materials. Everything is completely sturdy and strong and well-made. It was extremely easy to assemble which was great. The instructions are clear, but you almost don’t even need them. The parts/screws are solid and well-made, not cheap.I knocked off one star for the following things:-For a bike made to handle over 300lb people, the seat is not. It’s a good quality seat, but way way way too small for heavy people. All your weight is on a tiny seat, and since it’s so small, it doesn’t matter how padded it is - with my 278lbs pressing on a small section of inner butt cheek, it hurt like hell to ride for literally just a few moments. My muscles should be burning, not my butt cheeks. :p Replacement seats for large folks are $40 or so. Adding that to the cost of this bikes makes it a bit less economical. It really should come with a seat meant to accommodate the large weight the rest of the bike is made for, even if it’s a few dollars more expensive.-You have to adjust everything manually. While it’s very easy to adjust considering it’s manual, it would still be sooooo nice to have electronic controls, presets, anything to make it easier to share this bike with family members who are different heights. It’s easy and only takes about 30 seconds for each adjustment, but having to do it can kind of take the wind out of your sails when you’re pumped for a workout, and it’s annoying to have to do it every. time simply because you’re a 5’6” person sharing the bike with a 6’1” person. That said, I do appreciate how easy it is to do, and how lightweight the parts are even as they are very strong and sturdy. So someone with arthritis or hand weakness/etc will still be able to manage. That kind of accessibility is important. More would be good, but I realize this would increase the cost of the bike by a LOT.-The brake is not on the handlebars, which makes sense when you see how the bike is constructed, but is weird if you’ve never owned a stationary bike before or for some other reason we’re expecting handlebar brakes. This is another feature upgrade which would have increased the cost of the bike, so I get why it is the way it is, but it’s still a little strange have to reach down between your legs to brake.Overall I’m very pleased with it, and very confident about its ability to stand up to daily use by two heavy people. Other positives are that it’s light enough to be easy to move around the room to where you need it, and it’s nice and quiet when operating. I highly recommend it for any heavy folks looking for a budget bike - as long as you upgrade the seat!

I bought the Cycleace for my wife (who wanted a stationary bike post knee surgery), but I use it more than she does at this point. In the past few years, my primary exercise has been in the form of strenuous folk dancing (take a look at Scottish Country Dancing videos, and you will get my point, plus, please come join us after we get past the pandemic), but COVID did that in.The Cycleace bike was very easy to assemble, and I have used it over the last six week (four times a week) with huge success. The wool felt friction resistance is working well (noise has not been an issue). The handle bar layout is really great (I have added a mount for a cell phone, and there is plenty of room for a tablet to add video). The handle bar layout does include drop bars, but I don't see a lot of use for them. Although, as I write this, I realize that they can be used as sweat towel racks, which can come in handy if you really use the Cycleace. At the same time, the drop bars aren't an impediment if you don't use them.As indicated above, I added the cell phone mount, and did the Wahoo Cadence/RPM "mod" to the bike (The Wahoo cadence sensor is something that Amazon "suggests" as part of a recommended "up-sell" for this purchase, as well as for the purchase of all other stationary bikes). In my opinion, this is a really great up-sell purchase, despite some issues with doing an initial sync with the Wahoo app and an Android phone. it has been very reliable after the initial connection, plus it is the reason for the cell phone mount.I do recommend taking advantage of online spin classes, in addition to a cadence/rpm monitor, to get the most out of this purchase.

Pros-Easy to asemble (less than an hour)-Foot print is small, easy to move around-Seat has springs in it, this allows slight movement up and down and is more comfortable than bikes at the gym. Seat feels wider and more cushioned as well- Lots of room on the handle bars to safely support phone, tablet, book etc- Very low noise level, not very noticeable at all- Feels sturdy, overall very impressed with the value for the priceCons-Can't adjust seat height, or handle bar height while on the bike-Water bottle holder flimsy and not in a convenient spot

I was torn on whether to go with a "value" bike or something a little more high-end. I decided on the Cyclace because of the price point, the positive reviews (across a number of different sites) and because it was a new piece of exercise equipment I was adding and was unsure of the amount of use it would get because of the time of year (warmer weather months lie ahead!).As it turns out, I used the bike 3-4 times per week over the past three weeks and I decided that I need a better bike to give me the workouts I desire. I have returned this bike, however it is not a bad piece of equipment that everyone should avoid...not at all.PROS:- Relatively low price point (especially when discounted).- Assembly was super easy.- Mobility: was simple to move the bike around the space to store off to the side when not in use.- Comfortable seat.- Frame and flywheel are solid.CONS: (not really "cons", but more underwhelming features)- Brake pad system was a little choppy and uneven, and got progressively louder as tension was added.- LCD Information system very rudimentary. Lacking some basic features.- Pedals felt a little weak/unstable when pedalling at a more intense pace.- Handle bars are ok, but do not offer any cushion/padding for elbows in "racing" position.- When handle bars or seat are set on higher (taller) settings, there is a lot of play even when tightened firmly.OVERALL IMPRESSION:it is a decent bike for someone that is looking to get moving and do some light to moderate spinning. However, If you are a bit more serious about your spinning, I would bite the bullet and look to step up your options as I believe there are better bikes out there at a slightly higher but still affordable price point.

I did lots of research for a spinning exercise bike before I decided to go with this. I have been using a month and I'm thoroughly enjoying the bike. Love itBox was pretty heavy but that's to be expected for a product made with quality parts. Assembly was straight forward, it took around 40 mins to assemble. Make sure to proper follow instructions when stabilizing the seat otherwise it will wiggleWhat definitely impressed me the most is how silent this bike is compared to other ones that I've had in the past. I like long workout on the bike. The tablet holder is a must have. Watching a few shows while exercising is honestly a must for me .Super comfort! Everyone is satisfied as there is a range of adjustment for seating.Study, comfortable, quiet! Nice bike ...Very good product for the price. Worth the purchase!

I had an old treadmill that was dying and I finally able to get out of the house. I was looking for a decent spin bike for good cardio and low impact. A few friends recommended Schwinn. I took a quick look at Peleton for a laugh. After a bit more research, the Cyclace seemed to appear on most top 10 lists. I am a 6'4" 225lb guy, so I needed something that is high enough for longer legs and has a good sturdy build. This was part of the selling feature for Cyclace.The package arrived within a few days in a fairly large, very heavy box. Setup was a matter of 8 screws, so attach the feet, seat, and handlebars, along with attaching the pedals. It came with a few spare parts, including an extra brake. There is a multitool and Allen key included which was nice, so no additional tools were required. I did my first ride using a beginners video on YouTube. The seat was impressively comfortable. I used to cycle quite a bit, so it felt fairly natural to climb on and get the heights setup correctly. The pedal stroke was solid and the flywheel has a good heft to it. The only thing I wasn't certain of was how to gauge my RPM's and tension in comparison to the spin class video. I have a pretty good feel for 60 RPM, but above that was just a wild guess. The LCD doesn't provide much value for these metrics. It does provide speed, distance and calories, along with time at least. I am sure I can figure the RPM's out based on speed. The tension is just a gut feel then, which is fine.The bike is very quiet and outside of my furious effort at doing 110RPM, felt very in control. After my first 20 minute spin, I was surprisingly spent, but felt great. I am looking forward to getting in to the routine of it. I might need to compete for access and fend off my wife and daughter though!

Initially impressions of the bike were great, provides everything you need for a quick workout with good stability. No frills, but all I wanted was simple to use equipment, which this provides. Digital display somehow corroded brand new Duracell batteries in a few weeks and had to replace it, part was easy to find so didn't really care.As noted in other reviews however, after actually getting into using it for a few weeks straight, one of the pedals gave out. For reference, I am under 200LB and far from an aggressive rider, nevermind the 330LB weight capacity. Had to tighten it every few days at first which fixed it, eventually just ripped the pedal right off while riding. Unsure if it is the crank or the pedal bent/stripped beyond being able to use, but I'll be out close to $100 in replacement parts to figure that out.Long story short, spend another $200 on a better bike and you'll be better off, as you'll be spending that much on this one after moderate use anyways.
