Esprit BIKE-X Fitness Belt Driven Exercise Bike Foldable Fitness Cardio Workout Weight Loss Machine (Black)

no tension

So I’ve had this bike 1 week short of a year and it’s been brilliant! Not a single problem and no loud noises as some of the other reviews say.I’ve managed to lose 2 and 1/2 stone with the help of this bike as well as healthy dieting so it’s done me really well... until this morning! I did 26 mins of cycling when the left pedal strap snapped! I was extremely disappointed as I couldn’t find a universal one online that looks like it’ll fit but I have since had an email reply from the company I bought it from and they have offered to send me out a new pair of pedals as they don’t come separate, which I’m really pleased about as I can still ride it but I like to gain speed and I can’t do that as much, without my feet strapped on. It would’ve been 5* but I had to knock it down a star because of the slight fault but overall it’s a very good bike!

Ease of use is essential folds neatly does the job

Definitely only suited to beginners - I spin once or twice a day and the pedals have completely broken now. It does the job for basic cycling but the monitor screen is useless. The time is completely out - I can do 45 mins according to my Apple Watch workout but the bike screen states 30, I even watched the screen and noticed that each second is definitely longer than a second! It also cuts out a lot I will be working out and the screen will decide to cut out. If you only want light exercise and to not monitor progress then it’s fine but otherwise forget it.

For 50 quid I honestly can't understand why this has negative reviews. Sure its probably not suitable if you're training for the tour de France, it's a bit noisy and the belt isn't as smooth as more expensive bikes when peddling but If you want to start looking after yourself and working out it's a perfect.It's easy to put together I managed it in about 40 mins.... I have put an excercise bike together for family and theirs took 12 hours to assemble and was 10x the price. The only thing with the assembly is the seat plate is a bit fiddly the spanner provided isn't the best so if you have a better one in a toolbox it would be better using that. I unfortunately didn't but it wasnt impossible just a bit fiddlyAs I'm only 5 ft the seat was a bit too high even on its lowest setting so I've just taken the height securer out and have it as low as it will go and that is perfect for me.It's lightweight and one of the smallest I've seen when foldedAnyone who pays 50 quid for a bike and expects 500 quid worth of quality needs to leave a bad review for themselves.

Easy to build this product, managed to put it together within 15minutes (not great at DIY so it's good, even for a novice) great way to exercise at home if your budget isn't massive. The only downside to this, which is quite a big one, is that the seat is not comfortable at all. I have used hoodies, etc to cover the seat and make it more comfortable but this is the only thing I would change if I could. Would recommend.

Every bad review on this bike is from people who would find any excuse not to exercise! I was previously 22st I’m now 9st 5’2 & weight train! THIS BIKE IS AMAZING FOR THE PRICE. It does make noise. Like ALL exercise equipment. Put your music on and put it in the garden and peddle or put it in front of the tv. The noise is the belt moving around the faster you peddle! If you’re over a certain weight, EVERYTHING YOU SIT ON WILL CREAK AND MAKE A NOISE! It’s you, not the bike! I’ve got wide hips and thighs & this is the 4th exercise bike I’ve had that the seat is wide enough for my whole bum to fit on (other more expensive bikes have narrow seats which are so uncomfortable between the legs and actually make you numb after a while where as this seat is perfect and never gives me numbness. It slides together to fold inwards to about 2ft wide. When my daughter turns 14 I’ll be buying this again for her bedroom. NOT ONE SINGLE FAULT, it’s perfect. If you’re not bone idle you will be so happy with this bike.

It does the job, and for the price it's okay. But it's a bit noisy but I normally wear headphones while on it so that doesn't bother me too much. My biggest problem is the size of the pedals. They are tiny! The velcro doesn't hold anything, especially when wearing shoes it doesn't close. So I have to cycle in just socks which still slip right through the velcro and the pedals end up on the balls of your heel which is incredibly uncomfortable. I'm a size 11uk shoe but even so they are way too narrow for even average feetEDIT: Changed from 3*. I've had to throw away the bike already. The noise got so bad I took the case off to have a look. The bike is so badly made the welding on the bottom of the pedal system had snapped and the noise I'm sure everyone is hearing is metal grinding against metal while rotating the pedals
