High Street TV Slim Cycle - 2-in-1 Stationary Flat Fold Exercise Bike - For Full Body Cardio - Strength & Resistance Training - Built-In Resistance Bands - Easy Storage - 8 Levels

I purchased this from Amazon directly rather than a third party seller. The packaging was excellent, everything was well protected, absolutely no damages.The instructions were incredibly easy to follow, all bolts/screws came already attached to the part it belonged to, all you need to do is adjust and tighten with the enclosed Allen key. It can easily be put together by one person. It's perfect if you don't have a lot of space as it folds up compact, it's easy enough to move around (I have floorboards).In terms of actually using the bike, initially I was mistakenly disappointed with the level of resistance offered as I first tried it out on level 8 (highest resistance) and thought "great(!) this is easy there's practically no resistance", but I was wrong!When you start off on the lower resistantance and build it up, boy do your legs/thighs feel it. By the time I turned it up to the highest resistance I was needing to turn it all the way downnnn. It is a recumbent bike with 3 seat settings, I've tested all 3 and really enjoy the fact I can feel my stomach muscles getting a work out too.It's a solid piece of equipment, you'll work up a sweat and hopefully lose weight if that's your goal. Otherwise it's a great way to maintain your fitness. Really happy I chose this bike over others.

First of all, building this exercise bike is relatively easy. Doesn't take long and all of the tools needed are provided. The overall build is very sturdy at first glance - but I will explore discuss this more later in the review.I really like that this can be folded up, not only very easily but also to a much smaller size - allowing it to be stored away. Also there is a a tablet holder which is great if you want to watch YouTube/Game whilst riding.There are a range of resistance settings on the bike, which when at the highest resistance is a great and tough workout. However I cannot say the same for the arm exerciser. You hahe to adjust them using the rope but it can be very fiddly and often time hard to match both sides. However once done they offer adequate resistance.Unfortunately after 20 minutes of usage the resistance in the pedals suddenly vanished and a constant loud noise accompanied every pedal. However after contacting customer service I was sent a replacement which since has not had this issue!Overall I'd say this bike is great value for money, but if you are looking to give your arms a good workout at this same time you may be a little disappointed!

Wanted to find an easy way to exercise at home in lockdown. Did a lot of research and the Slimcycle had good reviews and I am very pleased with my purchase. It arrived on time, very well packaged with easy to follow, step by step assembly instructions including pictures. The cycle is very sturdy and well-made. The seat is comfortable as is the backrest, although I do add a small cushion behind my back for a little extra comfort. The display controls are easy to use, it very quiet when pedalling which is great as I use mine in the lounge while watching TV, and the exercise straps are an added bonus to tone up the upper body. I'm in my 70's and didn't expect dramatic results, but I can already see improvements after everyday use for 4 weeks as I feel fitter and a little more toned. I used to swim regularly which has not been possible in lockdown, and walking isn't great when it's pouring with rain, so I would definitely recommend the Slimcycle to any age group.

Arrived quickly and was very easily assembled with no issues whatsoever. I have used an exercise bike on a daily basis for over 20 years so have got through a fair few. I have to say on first impressions this is the most comfortable I have sat on. The mechanism is smooth though not as good as a belt driven model. It is also silent in operation as all models are when new so time will tell. I am amazed how sturdy it is, especially for this type of frame and takes up a lot less space than my previous model. I have only owned it for a week at the time of review and it has been used for a total of approx 10 hours but as yet are extremely pleased and would definitely recommend.

Very comfortable and easy to use, I am only 4ft 11 and pedals and handlebars are easy to reach comfortably without stretching. Big display and can run through various programmes eg. Distance, calories, time exercising, pulse rate etc. What I love about this, is you can easily set how long you want to exercise, or how far you want to go in distance eg. 10km. Once you set your preference it counts down and alarm sounds to tell you you have reached your goal. The added bonus of the resistance bands are great, so you can cycle and tone your arms too! Very sturdy and easy to assemble.

How do they do it for the money? It’s easy to assemble with clear instructions. Once built, it’s very solid and is of a quality you wouldn’t expect for under £200. The seat and backrest are very comfortable and the riding positions allow for easy use of the bike.The magnetic resistance is plenty enough to ensure a challenging workout and it’s silent running across the whole resistance range. After 30 minutes you really feel like you’ve worked hard.The only thing that I found was negative was the display screen scratches easily when using my phone or iPad to watch tv so I’d recommend that you don’t remove the protective film.
