I’m 5ft1 so keep that in mind, I’ve got short legs. I put this bike together in about 20 minutes, and barely glanced at the instructions more than once. I read others used a YouTube tutorial but I didn’t bother. I looked over the diagram afterwards to make sure I didn’t miss anything, and it was perfect.
This thing is ridiculously quiet, I’ve owned this same exact model before (just left it for my brother when I moved out of our shared apartment) and this one was, well, the exact same. I put a lot of miles on the old one I had, and it stood the test of time. Hence, deciding to get the same one a second time.
The only difference is that now I am pregnant& much heavier than I was before. Before, the seat was perfectly comfortable for very long periods of time. Hours, even. But I could only put 20 minutes on this thing before I really needed to get off and give my behind a rest 🥲 I did the poke test on the cushion& it really is soft& cushy, but it’s my weight that’s hurting my tushy 🤣 I anticipate after a few days of using the bike, I’ll feel more comfortable, and definitely after losing some weight after baby comes soon. I’m still well under the weight limit, but my body is NOT AT ALL used to the weight that’s now added to my frame just in the past few months, so I’m 99% certain that’s the only reason the seat is not comfortable for me. If you’re new to cycling, or you’ve recently added padding to your middle, you might find the same discomfort. But honestly I wouldn’t make that my breaking point. There’s really highly rated cushions on amazon& if you’re looking for a quiet, affordable, small bike, this is going to be the one. Just add a seat cushion to your cart if you think you’ll benefit (~$20 or less) & buy it.
Overall, the silence& compactness of the bike are the selling points for me at this price point. It’s gonna get cold soon, plus I’m pregnant like I said so I need low-impact, accessible, safe exercise options. Sometimes I’m up before dawn and want to workout. My NOISY AS HECK treadmill will wake up not only my husband, but everyone in the apartment below us too 😅 BUT… this bike will NOT wake up even someone in the same room, guaranteed. That’s a bit deal for me& will be appreciated once baby is here too. I also set up my adjustable-height desk to go over my handlebars so I can easily work on my laptop. I can thank the small size of the bike for that. I read other reviews that said if you have long legs, then pass on this bike, but I wouldn’t know anything about that. I’ll also say that if you’re shorter than 5ft1, it MIGHT be kinda hard to use. Cuz I’m really feeling like I’m at the lowest comfortable height limit even tho it says 4ft10.
Anyway, for $130 it’s really a great option if you’re looking for quiet, compact, ease of assembly, good for shorter/smaller people. I really am glad to have this bike again.

How was the item? XTERRA Fitness Folding Exercise Bike, 225 LB Weight Capacity
Less than a week review:XTERRA Fitness Folding Exercise Bike, 225 LB Weight CapacityIt works well. It’s quiet. Easy to assemble an hour or less with not much effort. Lightweight. Easy to move for storage since it’s foldable. Good for small spaces. Bottom line-for the price (less than $100 flash deal) this is a good product. I buy from amazon just about everything I need. This is one of the best purchases since I really need something for legs circulations after sitting on desk for hours at home.Negative: the seat non-cushioned. Can be hard but for a few minutes of use it’s not so bad.

Very good bike but the seat hurts my butt.
I got the FB150 and like it. It was very easy to assemble and feels solid. I like the wheels on the bottom of the front stabilizer – makes it easy to roll along my wooden floor when I take it out to use it, and it folds and unfolds effortlessly. It’s got a pretty small footprint when folded and I like that a lot. The pedal straps were difficult to put on, but I managed – though I’m petite and don’t have that much strength to begin with. My main issue is the seat; I find it very uncomfortable – it really hurts my butt after a few minutes, and I’m struggling to find a good cushion that fits this particular bike. I’m hoping someone sees this and can recommend one.

Perfect for smooth recovery
Perfect for total knee replacement recovery. Easy to assemble. Does not take up much space. Very smooth work out. Seat is nice size and comfortable. Bike makes no noise. Very sturdy with easy readable digital display. I am a medical professional and I highly recommend!

Nice Ride – – –
This is still new to me but so far I am very pleased. I put it together with no problems and I’m a 76 yr old woman. You do have to actually read the directions- I couldn’t get the pedal to screw on so when I did read the directions I saw that one pedal had to screw in counter clock wise. It’s very sturdy and I weigh 225 and I’m 5’4″. It is a little hard to get my leg over to mount but I’m sure that will get easier as I get used to it.I did want my TV remote close so I had an eye glass bag that has string ties and hung that over the bars and my remote now has it’s own spot. The seat is nice and large but after only one use- I was a little sore. Thanks to a comment on here – I did order a bar stool cover that has a memory foam pillow along with the cover: It is for sale on Amazon= Shinnwa Bar Stool Cushions,Memory Foam Bar Stool Covers Round 12″. BUT i have not gotten it yet so can’t tell you exactly how it works out. I will update later. I figure if it is a little large then I can trim it – memory foam should be easy to cut. Just wanted to give you some ideas because I do find comments from buyers helpfull.It’s very quiet – I don’t hear it at all. Easy to move. Very attractive. So I’m pretty darn happy with my purchase.UPDATE: The memory foam stool cushion works great. fits perfect and very snug so no slipping. Makes the bike seat much more comfortable.

Excellent quality for the price!
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this product far exceeded my expectations. Assembly of this product took about 10 minutes and was easy. Other reviews said this bike was very quiet, and they did not disappoint. There is virtually no sound coming from the bike while operating it. It was easy to adjust the tension level while riding, and the electronics are very nice. The bike is very comfortable to operate, and the seat is very comfortable. I am a 63 year old woman, 5’5” and 150 lbs. The bike is perfect for my size, but is also adjustable. It is easy to fold up, and takes up very little space. Overall, the quality and performance of this bike for the price is outstanding. I would highly recommend it.

Fácil de armar, trae todo lo necesario para que lo hagas tú mismo, yo tardé como 50 minutos porque soy lenta para estás cosas, pero lo hice sola sin problemas. Es pesada, como 20 kilos. Es totalmente silenciosa, me sorprendió bastante este detalle. El nivel más alto del asiento es verdaderamente muy alto, no podía subirme, así que lo bajé y sin problemas. Mido 1.74 m y me quedó muy bien. Mis rodillas quedan a buena distancia del manubrio. Los pedales sin problemas. No vibra y es estable. La recomiendo totalmente.

Good quality. Very good for my height 5ft6, but any taller, the seat won’t go any higher to accommodate.

I did not know what to expect when I bought this because I have never bought a large workout machine before. I was pleasantly surprised! This was an amazing buy. I read a lot of comments about it not working for tall people but it is adjustable so it works well. My legs do not hit the bar when cycling.I must admit there was a fair amount of assembly required so if you’re not the greatest at putting things together, get someone to help you. The manual is straight forward though and everything is very well organized. The machine is well made and pretty sturdy. It was packed very well too. Everything was in bubble wrap and had a plastic covering some with cardboard. The nuts and bolts came packed together. Everything was very well labeled and marked as to what it was. Some of the washers and screws were already in the slots where they had to be placed. It took maybe 30 to 40 minutes to put this together on my own.I am happy I got a bicycle with the back support because you do need it, especially if you are using it for longer than 20 minutes at a time. All in all, this was a fantastic buy. So great for the price and quality. The supplier is also happy to send you any missing parts, if they are missing. Everything I needed was in the box though. They even sent batteries for the monitor.Highly recommend this item and supplier. Comfortable to use, easy enough to put together and sturdy. Amazing!!

I was a little daunted upon opening the box at all the bits and pieces to assemble. However, the step by step instructions were clear and easy to follow, the tools supplied were very adequate. I was also impressed at what good quality the components were and was very reassured that I had made the right purchase. It took me around 45 minutes to assemble.Once assembled, I gave it a quick trial, the movement was so smooth and quiet! I also love the options of where to hold/rest my hands.This bike is compact and not too difficult to safely fold away, for when I need the space back, the small wheels on the front support help to maneuver it for stowing away.I have used it for longer sessions and find it to be a good comfortable workout, what with the basic console being small, I can easily enjoy watching tv shows while exercising, which is exactly what I hoped I could do.The seat and height is comfortable for me, I am 5’3″ and weigh approx. 170lb.The console is simple and the data adds on cumulatively until you reset it by pressing the on button for 4 seconds. It’s handy for goals. Although, I still prefer to use my Fitbit to check my BPM since the pulse reader on the bike doesn’t seem to pick up all the time.

So far so good! The price was great and set up was really easy!Super quiet to use, folds away nicely, and is great for those on the shorter side.I’m not a fan of the blue color and I wish it was available in a silver finish with the seat entirely made from black but I’m super happy I was able to get an exercise bike during COVID that wouldn’t break the bank.Pulse measurement etc seems to work well too. The pulse measurement screen feels a little cheap to hold when installing but the handlebars feel really good quality and that’s what you have the most contact with so overall is a pretty nice experience!My boyfriend joked that it looks like something out of a 1950’s mail order catalog but who cares haha I got an exercise bike for $230 with tax haha.Highly recommend if you are on a budget and don’t care if it’s not the coolest looking bike to have around your apartment.
