YYFITT 2-In-1 Foldable Exercise Bike for Home Use with Arm

 

Very pleased with the bike. Found the resistance bands and rear handlebar a useful addition.
To date cannot fault anything.

 

Easy assembly for me. Cycling and stretch bands make it effective with low use too. Bad knee limits me to short sessions but still losing weight. Brilliant! Very pleased

 

since suffering a stroke last year i had terrible fatigue so getting up and doing anything has been a struggle…this product seemed to tick ‘all the boxes’ so that decided my choice, not to bulky, easy to fold up, not too heavy.
tools are provided for the nuts and bolts, putting it together began with ‘i’ll never do this’ but turned out fairly easy so first job done…next was finding a comfortable position which suited myself (5′ 11″) and my partner (5′ 2″) which was easier than expected, take note as one pedal has to screwed anti-clockwise.
set it to minimum for a few goes and took a slow peddle, no real effort needed of course but it got some muscles moving, now moving it towards the ‘hardest’ setting slowly and getting my speed up, this could take a while.
this is a nice, easy excercise to get started, as the weather improves i will be mixing it with some walking…i do not expect to end up with ‘rippling thighs’ but for what it will do it is well worth the price, the arm bands offer some resistance and add a little bit more to the ‘work out’.

 

I like the ease of the control panel, very sturdy

 

This little bike has been great for me and my wife. For me it is a fat buster especially with the arm pulls. My wife uses the low friction setting to help with the pain in her knee due to arthritis. Glad I purchased it.

 

here is not much to dislike about thisbike.easy to use .sits in the corner without looking ugly.all in all it is a pretty good purchase.

 

I purchased this exercise bike after reading the reviews and was reassured that it would be suitable for my 5ft 2″ stature. It arrived, no problem and I put it together with the help of the excellent youtube video provided. The screw in seat location control and the knob that closes the machine/converts are fiddly and hard to locate into the holes provided and have to be unscrewed and removed altogether to move the mechanisms. Once constructed the machine is sturdy. My first try was a disaster. I managed to get on the bike on it’s lowest setting, but I couldn’t get off without the help of my husband and the nearby sofa onto which I literally threw myself. The 2nd time I mounted and dismounted the bike with the help of a small sturdy footstall which I then have to manoeuvre out of the way of the pedals. When the seat is at it’s lowest setting, the seat handle bars come above the seat itself, which makes it uncomfortable as you peddle, I’ll have to remove them.
Moral of the story, if you live on your own and under 5ft 6″, don’t purchase this exercise bike.

 

Nothing to dislike. Bike looks and feels very safe. Good value for money. Would recommend.

 

So much better than the last one we had.
Jump on and start your workout.
The recumbent position is very good for stomach and so many levels of tension make for a great all round workout!
The display is easy to read, nice and big numbers.
I would highly recommend this machine to anyone.

Better than expected box a bit battered but was well covered in side. Spanners could have been a bit small to get a better grip but that may just be me. smooth ride go for it girls get that body and abb to die for well I can live in hope lol

 

At the outset it must be said that this exercise bike is not for someone who wants a strenuous workout as the resistance levels are gentle to moderate. However, I purchased this bike for my wife who is recovering from a total knee replacement and it is ideal to help her during this period of inactivity. We are both senior citizens and I also find it useful to maintain my all round mobility.
Patience is required for the assembly and adhering to the instructions will help avoid problems, for instance, the left pedal is attached to the crank arm by turning it anticlockwise as it is a right hand thread.
In use we both find the upright seating position comfortable and it has a generously proportioned seat. The backrest is also a good size and a useful support for the semi-prone position.
Folding the bike is easy if you take the weight off the rear whilst adjusting with the ‘Fasten Knob’. We have not used the computer readout as yet but all seems to be working OK.
This is not the cheapest exercise bike on the market but I believe it represents good value for the price.

 

The bike was damaged in transit, one of the supports that the handle bar attaches too had a dent in it. This was not life threatening and my wife and I managed to assemble the bike. We needed three sessions after breaks to do it. The instructions are limited but plenty of support is on YouTube, I recommend watching a video before you start, we didn’t. I have to say we are very happy with the bike, it’s very sturdy and easy to use. Do not buy the recommended padded saddle suggested by Amazon it too small. The supplier of this item kindly gave me a refund. The recommended rubber mat is great. Folding and altering the bike too position 2 takes a bit of getting used too. Overall am very happy with this high quality product at what I thought was a very good price

 

The reason for buying was folding which I find great to stand it in the corner If you wanted to put it under the bed check for how much clearance you would need I have been using this for about 6 months now Thought I would give it a good try out before leaving a review It was easy to assemble I did it by myself in about 20 minutes This is not a high end bike to start doing pelaton but for the people who just want some good exercise at home it is just the ticket I find it sturdy easy to use and with the different tensions on it I can get a decent workou

 

This was easy to assemble with clear instructions. I would, however, suggest that you use a 13m ring spanner instead of the small spanner supplied. This was awkward to use and not very firm. Otherwise I am very pleased with the product and was surprised by the speed of delivery. I have had to change my exerciser after using another device as at 77 years old I now have arthritis in my shoulders but still want to retain my lower body fitness. If asked I would definitely recommend this unit as a good machine and at a reasonable price. This is a genuine review from a satisfied customer. 4 days from ordering to using.

 

Great if your looking for light exercise! The bike its self is good, easy to build and so quiet.
I have enjoyed using this bike, mainly for fairly light exercise while watching TV or while listening to meetings while working from home. But I will say its quite hard to get your heart rate that high using this bike.

I know its not a spin bike, but I think I was hoping to be able to use it more like a spin bike, you can’t stand while on the bike to do sprints, it feels too unstable and the resistance isn’t really strong enough while standing.

I’ve realised I actually get a better work out in terms of calories burnt and time spent in cardio zones from a fast walk in the same amount of time. So essentially, the bike is great if your looking for easy going workout while your doing other things but if your looking for a more intense workout you may want to consider getting a spin bike instead.

The hardware pack diagram shows an Allen Wrench (or key) but it was NOT included. This is a fundemental requirement when assembling the bike. Fortunately I already have a set, otherwise would have had to buy a set. Pretty much all the assembly requires the Allen Wrench. With an Allen Wrench it’s fairly straightforward to assemble. I did call upon an extra pair of hands at one point but probably could have managed alone.
When using the Fasten Knob, loosen slightly, then pull. Loosen too much and it falls out.
The spec states miles/H but the display shows Kmh. Also, states 2xAA batteries but it actually requires 2XAAA. The ones supplied didn’t last very long. I’ve installed new ones. See how long they last.

I would say it’s advisable to check nut/bolts etc. regularly.

The delivery date was ‘flexible’. It arrived on time after the delivery date had been changed a couple of times. There was initially a tracking option but that disappeared as the delivery date approached, so there was no way of knowing where or when it would arrive. I did contact them when the delivery date arrived and no bike but then it miraculously arrived later in the day.

Overall, I’m satisfied with the bike. I’m a 69yr old man and it suits fine.

 

I put this bike together in about an hour (it’s easier if someone can help you). The instructions were pretty clear and easy to understand. The monitor arrived with scratches and slightly cracked casing on the back, and the packaging was damaged, but it still works OK and because it is not an integral part of the bike and bolts on separately I’m sure if problems appeared the seller would be happy to swap over the monitor for another one.

The bike is quite heavy and is not easy to fold/unfold (a scissor action) as a knob has to be turned to loosen it and then removed. Getting it back in again is like trying to undo a childproof lid on a bottle of tablets in that you have to push and turn at the same time. That, plus the weight meant I decided against folding it away as I’d originally intended, and I now have it set up in one place permanently.

The height of the seat can be adjusted by loosening a similar knob and then removing it, sliding the bar up or down and then replacing the knob.

Surprisingly, there isn’t a photo of the bike on the cover of the handbook, or any mention of the features as they are advertised on the Amazon product page. It would be useful if these were included in the handbook, together with some basic recumbent bike exercises (or even a link to a video) as well as the general warming up and cooling down exercises that are already included at the back of the handbook.

Because the ‘resistance’ knob is positioned just under the resistance bands, and says ‘Tension’ on it (not as the photo on the product page), it could lead you to think that the ‘Tension’ relates to the resistance bands, but it does not, it relates to the tension of the front wheel when pedalling.

Once put together, the bike was sturdy, not wobbly, and very quiet in use, and the seat and back rest were quite comfortable for the half hour exercise session I did on it (I found a couple of free ‘recumbent bike with resistance bands workout’ videos online). The back of the seat height is adjustable (2 positions, higher or lower) but it does involve 4 screws and an allen key to move the height so it’s not really something to be adjusted each time someone else uses it.

I could watch a workout video by propping my laptop on the handy shelf on the bottom of the monitor. However, it did cover up the monitor and some of the handlebars and sensors. A tablet would be better if you have one.

All in all though I’m quite pleased with it and am looking forward to using it regularly.

 

My wife and I are very impressed with the standard of build of this exercise bike. Neither of us is an “exercise nut” (sorry, unsure how to express the fact that we would both prefer to be out walking in the fresh air than sitting on a bike in our small study – hence the lack of a picture!)
It came well packed and was relatively easy to assemble by myself with out any other aid; the spanner provided was not the most comfortable with which to work, but the instructions were easy to follow.
The seat and backrest are reasonably comfortable, but the height adjuster takes quite a lot of screwing in/out, as does the folding mechanism.
As a non-afionado, I would recommend this exercise bike.

 

Easy to assemble,but a video is available
Its a good sturdy exersise bike,I particularly like the attached pull bunji cables you can exersise your arms and shoulders as well .
The seat is a little hard tho and an alternative gel replacement seat or gel cover would make this exersise bike a 10 out of 10 item
as it is tho , its definitely a recommended purchase 8/10 .

 

Ordered on 8th Jan, told it would be delivered by 7-9th Feb. Was delighted when it turned up early on Thursday 28th Jan. It was straightforward to put together, easy to follow instructions/Video as not that many pieces. It did take two of us to assemble it because of holding and securing the nuts and bolts, it is made of solid materials. I will agree that we needed to use our spanner for a couple of parts as the one provided did not grip all the nuts properly but that was no problem. Now it is done I have a strong and sturdy bike, much better than friends ‘flimsy’ ones and the seat is very comfortable. I really like the decent sized seat and the back support, which I do need. A good monitor which I just need to work out how to use as there are no instructions for that and this is my first home bike as the spin cycle bikes in our gym are too much for my joints. Have just done first session, was very quiet, very comfortable, very sturdy and felt safe on it. I can now say that I am extremely happy with this purchase, a very good quality bike for a very reasonable price. Recommended.

 

Having had the 2 in 1 bike for 3 weeks we are pretty impressed. We both use it for 20 minutes each day and already feel noticeably better for the exercise. The rear handlebars, backrest, resistance bands and phone / tablet holder are all useful features not present on all exercise bikes plus the bike feels strong and stable and the resistance level changes are noticeable and sufficient for our needs although perhaps not for the seriously fit.

Minor niggles are:
1) Assembly (especially the backrest and stabilizers) is definitely easier if there are 2 of you.
2) Once assembled, moving the seat up or down requires a lot of force. Fortunately, we are both happy with the same position but this might be an issue for those who need to move the seat up / down regularly for different users.
3) You do need to be careful when folding / unfolding the bike. Very easy to trap a finger in the frame if you hold the frame in the wrong place. I speak from experience.
4) Need to check the nuts on the pedals and rear handlebars in particular are tight every few days as they both seem to become looser with heavy useage.

But the main issue for us is that we would prefer to keep it folded up in the hall or the cupboard under the stairs when not in use. But getting the bike from the folded up position to the upright position is not easy. The 2 in 1 bike automatically opens out to the semi reclining position. To get it to the upright position you have to push the rear of the bike forwards to the upright position with one hand while simultaneously trying to insert the locking pin into a hole in the frame that you cannot see because the frame gets in the way. We rapidly concluded that life was too short to spend a few minutes twice a day doing this with the permanent risk of damaging a finger if you hold the bike in the wrong place and it suddenly collapses on you. For this reason, with 20:20 hindsight we would definitely have bought the less expensive upright model rather than the 2 in 1 for this reason. I guess the key point is only buy the 2 in 1 if somebody using the bike will want to exercise in the semi reclining position. If this doesn’t apply then buy the cheaper upright model.
