What do other people say?

The Amazon four star rating tells it’s own story especially when you consider the number of people who have responded, but the main thrust of the reviews, good and bad, are that this folding exercise bike is cheap, easy to use, easy to assemble and sturdy, quiet in use, easy to move around and store and will give a reasonable beginners to intermediate level workout. On the downside the seat attracts complaints for being uncomfortable and not as adjustable in height as some would like so if you are tall the bike may not be for you.
