MaxKare Magnetic Exercise Bikes Stationary Belt Drive Indoor Cycling Bike with High Weight Capacity Adjustable Magnetic Resistance w/LCD Monitor

Overall, this is a great stationary bike and you will probably not find anything with this much stability and features in this price range. I’ve had about two weeks of regular rides at this point including HIIT and endurance sessions of 30 to 50 min and would absolutely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a quality spin bike for their home. Overall, the feel is comparable to spin bikes I’ve used in gyms that have manual tension adjustments.The good:The bike is quiet, even when pushing hard. I have this setup in my living room and often workout while my wife is watching tv and she has no complaints. For reference, my breathing when pushing harder is louder than the bike. Others have commented on the resistance, but I can easily get enough resistance for getting out of the saddle and pushing at 100% effort in HIIT workouts and I can squat over 300 lbs. Notably the bike I received has 5 small magnets rather than the four magnets in the picture description. The bike is very stable, but the seat is spring loaded which can make it feel a little rocky when sitting up. It uses a standard seat post, so this could easily be upgraded. The reason I bought this particular bike was the 4-way adjustable seat and handlebars, which are heavily reinforced and solid, and the belt drive and magnetic resistance. The latter likely account for why this bike feels so smooth at many different cadences. Four-way adjustable handlebars and seat have made this bike very easy for me to find a comfortable riding position (I’m 5’7” 190 lbs). The bike comes in a single box, which is heavy but very well packaged. Assembly was straight forward and took me about 30 min.The ok:The bottom bracket width is a little on the wide side. There have been a few times when the heels of my shoes have hit the crank arm, but once I got used to the width it has not been an issue. The stock pedals with toe clips are fine, but I will probably upgrade them to clipless pedals at some point in the near future. The included computer is no frills. I would only trust the time, cadence, and heart rate monitor readings since there is no measure of resistance or power. The heart rate monitor works, but does take several seconds to give an accurate reading. The holder on the computer works for a phone or tablet, but you’ll want to put a piece of rubber to keep things fro sliding around and sliding off. A tablet will block the readout from the screen on the computer.All that being said, these are mostly minor issues, especially for a bike with this many features and this good of feel in this price range.

I will give a 5 start rating to this bike. I spin at the gym and wanted to have my own, did lot of research prior getting this one as I there was no way will get a 2K indoor bike. The good: very quiet, smooth to ride, comfortable seat and flexible to adjust seat height, handle bar, etc. The bad: not really bad, but it swings a little from the base, the computer is basic, no clips... nothing really you can’t fix. Easy to assemble and fast shipping. Great value for the price.

I was a little skeptical of purchasing from this seller as this was a newly listed product with minimal reviews (I'm big on reading reviews). The product shipped the next day and arrived before the expected delivery date. This was very easy to assemble, I would NOT recommend paying for 'expert assembly'. It took my husband 1 hour to assemble in full. The Build is very sturdy and made for taller people. My husband is 6'4 and he fits on this bike, but IS at the max height settings. The listing doesn't mention but the seat is a cushioned seat (very comfy). The monitors work well, no issues so far. The bike doesn't make any noise when in use, which is a nice benefit to not hear the chains rolling around. The only CON to this bike is the resistance is a little weak (I'd say 30-35lb max). Don't get me wrong, I get a GREAT workout and very sweaty but the resistance could be stronger for me as I like to lift weights and do heavy resistance training. I like to do youtube bike workouts and get a great FREE workout. I'd recommend this bike to a friend!!!!

Update review (1/18/21):After more than a year, The bike is still rock solid. This stationary bike is helping me becoming a better cyclist (off saddle pedaling for long period of time.) Now I can loop around my 2 miles neighborhood road with a 300 yards 15 % grade hill with easy. Even with 5-7 mph headwind, the 61 year-old-man can do 10 loops within 1 and 1/2 hours, and I do this everyday when it's not wet out there. Do or die mentality also help! To be honest, if I have to make the choice again, This stationary bike is still 1st on my list.Original review:I ordered this bike 2 days after I ordered the Marcy ME-708 (also a very good exercise machine in Cruiser Class) because I found it meeting my requirement exactly. I received the bike this morning (only 2 days shipping from New Jersey.) After spending 30 minutes to put every thing together (spending most of the time just to unbox the pieces), I tested the bike and I was very satisfy almost for everything so far. It's really stable and feels solid when I spun for the first time (I used Blue Locktight for bolts and nuts). The seat is more comfortable than my Specialized and my Iron-Horse. Handle is strong and it's very easy to adjust both vertically and horizontally (the same for the seat.) This bike is more quiet compared to my new Marcy ME-708 . This machine is also 3 time more expensive then the Marcy but it's 10 time more durable by my estimate. However, even with excellent packaging and no shipping damages, my bike came with a couple of scratches on the frame and a small niche on the plastic belt cover. By inspection, I think that these happened during the manufacturing. Because the machine is beautifully put together, I will forgive the Quality Control person and still give this bike 5* on my evaluation (I will find some black paint and touch them up myself.) Just for the record, during the assembling, I found 1 washer is missing for the base bolts. I also need a couple of large washers for the seat and handle bar adjust levers, otherwise they can not be tight enough at my setting. Luckily, I do have all the needed hardware in my garage.
