Recumbent Exercise Bike for Adults Seniors - Recumbent Bikes for Home with Magnetic Resistance, Bluetooth and App Connectivity, Pulse Sensor

The bike is great it's small quiet and does what you need. Sadly it's advertised as being compatible with kinomap and after trying for ages to get it to work I contacted kinomap. It does link to the bike via Bluetooth but there's no resistance at all. Kinomap have replied telling me that vanswe does not work on thier ap. You can connect via FTMS and follow the maps but that's it no resistance no difference whether on flat ground or on a hill. Kinomap said they will contact vanswe and see if they want adding to the compatibility list but have said the best thing when buying a bike is to check on the kinomap site first and look at the list of compatible makes. Sadly we did that after and its not on there. It's also not on the list of compatible zwift list either. But i havent triws yo connect it to that one 🤷‍♀️So I guess we will watch the scenery and increase the resistance ourselves. It's put a real downer on the bike to be honest because it is a great little bike and fits all of us here from 5' to my husband over 6' and takes the weight that was needed. If you're buying this to use in conjunction with one of the aps then look into it deeper first. Otherwise buy and enjoy 😊

I was skeptical about this item due to the low price. However, I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and relative ease of assembly. Assembly: It took me about 90 minutes to assembly, 30 of which involved unwrapping the yards of tape, plastic, and styrofoam in which the bike is packed. The bike comes with a box wrench and combo Allen wrench/screwdriver needed for assembly. The most important tool for assembly however is a box cutter to open the box and free the pieces. The actual assembly was easy--in the first step, make sure to attach the two base pieces in the correct place. The one with wheels goes on the front with the wheels facing forward and slightly down. Bike: Once assembled, the bike is VERY sturdy and balanced. No movement front-to-back or side-to-side. There is a knob at the bottom of the frame below the seat that can be adjusted so there are five contact points to anchor the bike. You can easily move it by lifting the rear of the bike and using the small rollers on the front. This might be tougher on carpet as opposed to a smooth surface. The only flimsy part of the bike is the plastic monitor. The edge on top of the monitor fits a cell phone, Kindle, or tablet. It is not deep enough for a book. The footprint of the bike is great for a small space. I would guess you need a space about 3' x 5' to use the bike; 2' x 5' when it is not in use. Use: This bike is very quiet, as advertised. I use a fitness tracker so I have not connected the monitor to the apps noted in the instructions. I used the monitor to gauge speed. The resistance adjustment is pretty easy to access while riding and can be adjusted while you ride. One caution is that this is not a bike for someone six feet or taller. I am about 5' 9" in workout shoes, and there is only a couple of inches left to adjust the seat for someone taller. The seat is comfortable. The back rest is also comfortable, but gets warm. A mesh back rest would be a better design. Conclusion: I highly recommend this bike if you need a low-cost, high-quality recumbent bike, do not have much space, and want something quiet to operate.

With so many recumbent bike choices on line, it was a task to compare features. I was glad I took the time to find the Vanswe. With the weight range, up to 380 lbs, I felt that the bike had to be very sturdy. It was also in a price range that made sense. Since it arrived, I could not be more impressed with the bike and the tech support. The bike came in a heavy duty carton with several nylon straps to prevent damage and easy opening. Each component had its own foam slot. Assembly instructions were great and even included an IPB so you could see every part on the bike. In less than an hour, I was riding the bike and was amazed that it made no noise at all. When deciding on this bike, I was also drawn to the seat size and thickness. The seat and backrest are great. Everything has worked perfectly. I however, cannot speak to the Bluetooth process as I do not have a smartphone. I called to register the bike and claim the extra gift that was offered. Their phone answered right away and I got to talk to a live person. Had a question about the seat rail locking lever and got the answer right away. I also asked about the peddle strap that was pictured on the website. Both extra gift and straps with peddles arrived in a few days. I have received two calls from Vanswe. The first was to ask how I was doing with the bike and did I have any questions. The second was to assure that the gift and peddles had arrived. Having bought hundreds for item on the internet, I can’t remember any vendor calling after the purchase to see how I was doing. This speaks volumes as to the quality of support. Seeing that our Medicare advantage programs will pay the entire cost of the bike, my wife will be ordering a second bike soon.

It was a little worried when I saw how small it was as I thought it would be a little bit bigger but it's actually very comfortable.. It took me 2 hours approximately to assemble but I'm not usually very good at that kind of thing.. Pros: Affordable. Quiet: It's really smooth and quiet when you are riding it. Compact : I think it's only 43 in long so it doesn't really take up a lot of room. I have it next to my treadmill in the garage and still have plenty of room. Tension : The click shift to change the tension is really good. It's very nice that there are 16 different settings which gives you a lot more options for how tough or easy you want it to be. And it's just one click to change it to the next setting so it's very well done and easy to change during the workout. It's Cons: As a few other people have mentioned the computer on it is basically useless. The heart rate monitor is so inaccurate it's laughable and most of the information on the computer is not close to accurate. There's a reason that I'm good treadmills and bikes and other workout equipment you have to enter your weight and your height and your sex so that it can give a fair estimation of how many calories you're burning but a bike with a computer that doesn't ask for any of that information can't give you even a close estimate of how many calories you're really burning. A person who weighs 200 lb is going to burn a lot more calories than a person that weighs 150. I just used the computer as a gauge to compare to previous and future workouts. (The instruction book does come with a fitness app you can download that's supposedly connects with Bluetooth to the computer but the app only has a 1.5 out of 5 star review on Google) Size: I am 5'10 in about 160 lb and the bike is comfortable for me. I have a lot of workout experience on different equipment and I have a hard time believing this would be comfortable for someone up to 6'2 like it says. And even though it's fairly sturdy I don't think that this would be a good bike for someone up to 280 lb as the seller suggests. I think for women and seniors and for people about my size it's perfect but I think it's probably a little bit small for somebody that's much heavier they might want to go with a little bit heavier duty better bike. No cup holder. That last one is just a little nitpick. It's pretty uncommon though for workout equipment not to have a holder for your drink nowadays but I wouldn't let that be a deal breaker. Overall: I am happy with the purchase. I spend about 80% of my time on the treadmill but I wanted a bike. I probably would have gone with a higher end bike if I was going to use it more but this is going to be more than adequate and I think it's a good value for the money.

After 340 of 410 days riding and working out, I had dropped 50 lbs. Of course I worked on diet and used other exercise means. At that point, I had to have, in order: Stents placed (May 15) to increase blood flow to left leg, was able to ride a few times before having hernia June 18, then a 2nd endarterectomy-stent placed in other leg. After the 3 procedures, I was able to ride a few times before moving on to next surgery. Currently, now October, I'm back to riding quite a bit, at least 5 times weekly, 30, 40, sometimes 68 minutes. Still 50 lbs lighter, and now facing a new challenge, bladder cancer. After the initial step or 2 back, I've made my mind up to keep on keeping on. Recumbent, some lightweight routines every other day, some exercises to work hip muscles. BTW, after the ER visit that brought attention to the C word, I stayed at my son's place about 10 days (under observation). He has an old exerpeutic cycle I gifted him and I cycled daily. I can't tell you the middle of the back pain I went through. So, so very happy to be back home with this recumbent. For the Buck, this one is still banging loudly. My 2nd purchase (safety net) has never been opened. Survived my 13 month challenge. (13 months 2 weeks). Enjoyed this recumbent for 12 months and 2 weeks of my journey to a better me.

Weighed 252 on March 31st, when I got back into my routine. 6' tall. By the 15th, I realized I returned to cycling (stationary cyclist for 35 yrs) too soon after surgery. Feeling good and not wanting to stop, I continued on the elliptical while I shopped for a recumbent. Settled on this one and rec'd it on May 13 or so. One Full Month in, June 14th, I've used it daily for 68 minutes minimum, 90 min max each session. I'm down to 228, feeling really good and Ecstatic that I purchased this sturdy, quiet, easy to assemble recumbent. Pretty easy for a big guy to move around, might be a bit heavy for some women. I made it a bit more comfortable by getting a memory foam cushion. For seniors or Anyone just wanting to get the blood moving, you can't beat this deal. I got it for 219$ on a flash deal. 2nd Full Month report card. 30 more days, 68 min per session. My normal 66 yo numbers are: 68 min, 600 cal burned. Right at 16.5 miles. I think I've only missed a day or two over the 30 day period. As a long time buyer of home exercise equipment that is easy on the pocket, I'm still holding this piece in high regard. Oh, since March 31st, I'm down 30 lbs which is a solid 2 lb per week, slow and steady. Tinkered with diet, mostly eating one ingredient items, I'm unable to walk more than 100 yards. Along with Tiffany Blair's toning and muscle building tubes on youtube, I'm completely done with XXL shirts, and with the crunches she shows you how to do, I've moved 4 holes on the belt. My end date to stop and take a look at myself, May 14th, 2025. Buy, don't hesitate. Before this recumbent, I had been a stationary cyclist for about 40 years. I love this thing. Easy on the backside also. 3 Full Month Report Card. Daily use, 68 minutes, another great 30 days. No problems whatsoever! Took only 2 days off, so it was a full month of good cycling. 3.5 month mark. All Good. Decided I like this recumbent so much, I bought a backup in the event my no. 1 encounters a problem. It's simply a safety net because there's nothing as awful as having to take time off while waiting for a replacement. Worse yet, loving a make and model and coming back to buy another and seeing that model is discontinued. 3.5 months, almost every day, 68 minutes at least. No problems. 4 Full Months Report Card. 68 minutes every day, only missing 6 days in last 4 months. Only trivial problems with this one, so I bought a backup just in case. Little baby bird like tweets from pedal area, solved with wd40. Trivial. The odometer on my no. 1 has a mind of its own. NP for me, but I know some folks like to complain about every little thing. Coupled with diet and core/toning stuff, I'm down 40 lbs and 5" off waist since commencing on March 31st. Never thought I'd enjoy any exercise as much as cycling, but I've grown to truly love this recumbent. Do know, I sit it in front of table with computer, I enjoy my coffee, and i get aerobic with flip flops on. Getting fit doesn't get easier. BTW, my A1C is down from 8.0 in late March, to 5.8 in Sept. My numbers, not looking to set records, 68 minutes, 600 cal burned every day. 7 months report card. 68 min per day. No problems. Over 45 lbs lost.
