ATIVAFITFolding Exercise Bike 8 Levels Resistance F-Bike with Heart Rate Sensor + Phone Holder

Smart exercise bike. Love the idea it is compact and is fold-able , so when you need the room back in your house it is easy to fold and store away. After arriving super quick , my son opened the box & started assembling it. It was very easy to put to together following instructions and the tools provided. It took only 15 minutes to fully assemble the bike . I like the back rest on the seat, which other exercise bikes do not have . I was very impressed with the price, as others I looked at were 3 times as much and hardly any difference to this one.It is very good quality and has a very comfortable padded seat. The monitor takes AAA batteries which i had spare ones on my drawer so was ready to test. Overall very impressed with performance , style and price, and highly recommend. All the family can now use it to keep fit, but the main reason was for rehabilitation after having a knee operation , so i can work out at home very slowly at my pace until my muscles get strengthened, & watch TV at the same time !

Very good value for money for domestic use. Pretty easy to assemble, sturdy and well balanced. Good electronics showing all the necessary data, and includes arm exercise handles, as well as upright and reclining positions. Thoroughly recommended.

I had been searching for a decent priced exercise bike for some months. I had found one that I wanted to purchase on another warehouse-style online store, which was cheaper than this one, but in their usual fashion they hiked the price up by 100% so I decided to shop around. I found this bike and scrolled through the reviews and thought this would be a good investment. It was a bonus that there was a 10% offer at checkout for the bike - so I was chuffed even before it arrived! It arrived the very next day. It was packaged very well, with bubble wrap and polystyrene bricks (not quite sure what their actual term is, but we'll run with it) keeping all the parts secure. I'll be honest, I've been wanting an exercise bike for years but have dreaded the thought of putting one together, and I had the same thought for this thing, especially after reading a review saying that it would be best if you had your own spanner...which would prove difficult for someone like me whose toolkit extends to the little screwdrivers you get from Christmas crackers! Unboxing all the components was straight forward and it was a delight to find out that the majority of the hard work had been done for me, and all I needed to do was finish the puzzle. The instructions were clear, although did point out parts that were already built so that was probably unnecessary but all in all clear instructions and all parts were detailed. For £97.99 I wasn't expecting much, but I was quite surprised. The overall quality is great. The build was smooth and straightforward and took me no more than 30 minutes. The allen key and spanner provided worked well and did the job - so thankfully I didn't need to ask my neighbour for any other tools! My only advice would be when installing the handlebars, make sure that the monitor's wires aren't in the way of the screw hole as I nearly screwed right through mine but realised in good time! The bike is very sturdy, which I was quite shocked at, I can't lie! The pedals just screw right in with no tools needed. As with all bikes, the seat is rather uncomfortable, but they aren't designed for comfort, and this is a comment which would go for any bike! I would rate this 5/5 stars, however the only thing that lets it down is the monitor. That again is easy to install, needing only 2 x AAA batteries, and clipping in the wires to the ones already on the bike. It's quite hard to see the screen of the monitor as it's quite dark, and I've found I can only see it clearly if I shine my phone's torch on it or if I lean right back, which isn't ideal. However, for £97.99, I can live with shining my phone on the screen. There are 8 resistance levels and they all switch seamlessly into one another with a simple turn of the knob. I was worried that the resistance wouldn't be great, but it's really amazing. All in all a brilliant bike for a fantastic price. Quick and easy to build. Unfortunately the monitor does drop a star due to the fact it is hard to see it as it appears very dimmed and dark but other than that this bike is damn near perfect. Would highly recommend!

I looked at what seemed like hundreds of exercise bikes before selecting the Ativafit, and I have been very pleased with it.It arrived very well packaged and assembly was easy, taking about 15 minutes. There are only about 10 components and the nuts and bolts for each item are already in place on it, so just step through the picture instructions loosening the bolts from the item and then fixing it in place - great idea (no little bags of nuts and bolts). Instructions are good and if needed, there are several YouTube clips that show you how to assemble it.The bike itself is very stable and the operation when pedalling is smooth - no wobble or other movements on the bike itself - its rock solid. With smooth rotation of the pedals, it is almost silent in use with just a whisper as you pedal. Tension is adjusted on a scale dial between 1 (very light) and 8 (reasonably firm).The seat is comfortable and can be adjusted for height. The back rest and side handles are great as you can sit back and rest whilst your legs keep going. The addition of the resistance handles on the main strut is great too - not too tight to pull and gives a general level of effort for arms at the same time.The computer is basic but has speed, time, cals, distance, total distance etc., can display in kilometres and miles and will check your pulse too if wanted - all very easy.This is an excellent exercise bike at a great price. Highly recommended.

I’m really happy with this exercise bike. It’s great quality, sturdy, and feels secure while cycling. I love that it folds away easily, saving so much space in my flat. Perfect for daily workouts without taking over the room. Highly recommend!

Mechanism has started making a loud clunking sound after approx 1 month of casual usage. Poorly made item, not suitable for use

If you are looking for a cheap, easy assembled and use machine then this is it, BUT, I have used the machine for half hour twice a day for about 11 weeks when it developed a knocking noise and then found what looked like a broken cir-clip below the pedals, so I contacted the support line and was asked to send a video, but I was not able to upload video to email, they seem to be very slow in replying to email and I'm not sure if they really care, so please make up yourown minds on this item. I'm still waiting a reply to my last email.
