Skandika Unisex's Folding Exercise Bike

I got this bike as a Warehouse Deal from Amazon and it was at a much lower price than the normal price. I had assumed that there would be some minor faults but the bike appears perfect, so this was a great buy. It was quite complex to put together and my husband took more than an hour to build it. There were no problems, all the parts were there and the instructions were clear - it was simply quite complicated. Other people may find it easier. I am very happy with it and have been using it every day since it arrived. It is quite comfortable although the seat could be a bit softer. The screen shows the following - time, speed, distance (daily and total overall), pulse and calories. If you reset the bike every day it will put everything back to zero except total distance covered, which it continues to tot up every day. The bike rides smoothly and quietly. The tension is adjustable from low to high and you are advised to start with the tension set at low and to increase this gradually as you become more experienced. Instructions are given about how to calculate the safe minimum and maximum pulse rates for your age. I have one minor grumble - I am a female of average height (5' 4"/5' 5") and even though I set the bike at the lowest height, I found it quite high to climb on an off. Trial and error showed that the easiest way was to slide on and off the saddle from the rear. This proved to be much easier than trying to swing my leg over the bike. Overall I am very happy with this bike and would recommend it to others.

I am so pleased with this. I bought it to exercise after breaking my leg and being immobile for 3 months and feeling very unfit. This bike has many levels to gradually improve your fitness, the instructions are excellent and it is easy to assemble. The bike is practically silent in use. I am glad I paid more money for a quality product which I look forward to using every day. It looks good too and folds away easily.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago and it has been in daily use ever since. Easy to put together and easy to fold up and store out of sight.I have a 27" inside leg and the seat is on its absolute lowest setting. Ideally I may have liked it a bit lower. My husband, with a 31" inside leg happily uses it without altering the seat height.The most difficult thing with this bike is getting on and off. As the whole bike is higher than a normal pedal cycle I simply cannot throw my leg over the saddle as I would normally do. So I have to hop my leg between the seat post and handle bar stem, then stand on tip toe to wiggle my bottom onto the seat. Do NOT lean on the handle bars with any sort of force at this point or the whole bike will fall over forwards and you will face plant on the floor.I do wish these type of bikes would come with a seat post tube which is compatible with an ordinary bike. Then I could use my much loved bike saddle designed specifically for ladies, which has a central cut out on the saddle. I find all exercise bike saddles really uncomfortable and am currently experimenting with extra bits of foam held on with elastic bands.I love the computer read out but do wonder how accurate the pulse rate reading is sometimes. It's not overally important to me so the strange low readings don't really bother me. The booklet/instructions which come with the bike are also very good and useful.I would most definitely recommend this bike, but just with the warning about its instability when getting on and off again. Husband who is 6' and fit has no problem. I am 5'2", a bit overweight and not as agile as I used to be. We are both 60 years old.

Easy to put together. Lovely green colour. Folds small and tall. Quiet to use. I'm 5'7" and find it high to get on and off but not too difficult. Overall am very pleased with the choice and quality.

This bike is great and I'd recommend it to anyone. The best thing for me is that it looks nice - nice enough to leave out. But if you need the space, it will fold up and go under the bed out of the way. I plan to do this for the summer when I'm outside cycling but then in winter, I can keep my fitness up using the Skandika. Very good value and sturdy. Don't pay more - this one is decent.

Really pleased with this bike, strong, sturdy construction, easy to get on and off, I'm 5' 3", good quality.

An excellent and practical fitness bike,highly recommended. Prior to purchase, I consulted with both my physiotherapist and a personal trainer, both of whom approved the specs. I have been using it regularly for six months and it has surpassed expectations, It's well-constructed, comfortable and great looking! I'm 5'4" by the way, a perfect fit!

Was very pleased with the exercise bike. To be a folding bike it is very sturdy and has smooth operation. Cannot fault it.
