POOBOO Exercise Bike, Stationary Bike for Home Gym, Indoor Cycling Bike w/Comfortable Seat Cushion & Tablet Mount, Silent Belt Drive Indoor Bike for Cardio Workout

I’ve been using the POOBOO Exercise Bike for a few weeks now, and it’s a solid option for anyone looking to add a reliable cardio machine to their home gym. Assembly was straightforward—took me about 30 minutes with the included tools, and the instructions were clear enough to follow without much frustration. Once set up, the bike feels sturdy thanks to its heavy-duty steel frame and 35-pound flywheel, which keeps it stable even during more intense rides. I weigh around 200 pounds, and it supports me fine with a listed capacity of 350 pounds.The standout feature is the silent belt drive paired with magnetic resistance. It’s genuinely quiet—barely a whisper, even at higher resistance levels—so I can ride early in the morning without waking anyone up. The resistance adjusts smoothly with a twist of the knob, offering enough range to suit both casual spins and tougher workouts. The emergency brake (press the knob down) is a nice safety touch, though I haven’t needed it yet.The seat is a mixed bag. It’s padded and wider than some other budget bike seats, which makes it decently comfortable for shorter sessions (20-30 minutes). But after an hour, I start feeling it—might need a gel cover for longer rides. The 4-way adjustable seat (up/down, forward/back) and 2-way handlebars let me dial in a good fit; I’m 5’10”, and it accommodates me well, though taller users (over 6’2”) might find the max height a bit limiting based on reviews I’ve seen. The toe-cage pedals with straps keep my feet secure, and I like that I can use regular sneakers instead of cycling shoes.The tablet mount is a practical addition—holds my iPad securely, letting me stream workouts or shows to stay motivated. The LCD monitor tracks time, speed, distance, calories, and pulse (via handlebar sensors), but it’s basic and not backlit, so it’s hard to read in dim light. It’s functional, though—I just wish it synced with apps directly. Some models mention Bluetooth compatibility, but mine didn’t come with it, so check the specific listing if that’s a dealbreaker.Portability is a plus. The front transport wheels make it easy to roll around, despite its 90-pound weight. It’s compact enough (roughly 53”L x 23”W x 49”H) to tuck into a corner when I’m done. Durability-wise, it’s holding up well so far—no wobbles or creaks—but I’ve read mixed feedback about long-term wear, like belts slipping after a year. Time will tell.For the price, it’s hard to complain. It’s not a Peloton killer—no fancy tech or built-in classes—but it delivers a smooth, quiet, and customizable ride that gets the job done. Perfect for beginners or casual users who want solid value without breaking the bank. If you’re a hardcore cyclist or need advanced metrics, you might want to look elsewhere, but for home use, this POOBOO bike hits the mark.

I gave the pooboo bike 5 stars based on its quality to price. Yes it is not a pelaton, but if you’re looking for a good quality basic bike, this is it. The packaging is excellent, with no shipping damage at all. I received the bike within a few days, quicker than the shipping estimate. The directions and tools were good, I had the bike assembled in under 30 minutes. As many others have pointed out, the seat easily adjusts in 4 directions and is reasonable comfortable. Riding experience is good, very quiet, and easy to increase or decrease the resistance. Another nice feature is the adjustable foot pads, in front and back to make sure the bike is totally level. Last the front transport wheels make it easy to move around. I would buy it again.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching different bikes and I’m SO glad I bought this one. It’s sooo quiet and smooth! The seat cushion is a perfect mix of soft & firmness for me. The company includes a card to have the seat replaced for FREE if you’re unhappy with it and they also will send you a FREE device to for virtual riding. Company is great, highly recommend purchasing from them. I do wish I could adjust the seat distance a bit more because I have very long legs, it barely fits me. I am 5’9 with most my length in my legs. Just keep that in mind when buying this. Otherwise 10/10 recommend!

Pros1. If you are looking for a no nonsense exercise bike that is inexpensive yet sturdy, this is a good purchase. You definitely get your money’s worth and then some.2. This is a pro and con…so much packaging protecting this thing.3. Customer service is terrific (see discussion of seat under cons).4. The company will send you a free device (nothing fancy) that allows you to use your bike with apps like Zwift. I rarely use it because using a bike that has only one gear with such an app is not much fun IMO.Consa. After removing the seat from the box, I thought “this thing is going to be comfy!”. It isn’t. It hurt my a** after only a few minutes each use. This is where the great customer service kicked in. I contacted the company and they sent me a free seat pad. The seat pad had a terrible off-gassing odor to the point it filled my finished basement with the smell for a good week or so. The pad helps a little, but my backside is still begging for more padding after a 30 minute workout.b. The bars that you grab as you ride are not wide enough. Because the back edges of the iPad holder (very small holder, by the way) are not rounded, if you tend to grab the horizontal portion of the bars your hands will tend to get scratched a bit because there is so little horizontal width (your hands rub the outer edge of the holder as you pedal). Don’t take this to mean the edges are sharp. They are not but lack of space and lack of a rounded edge makes it less than ideal for holding as you pedal. I think a bit more horizontal bar width and rounding the backside edges of the holder would be a good improvement.c. The packaging is amazing. There’s a ridiculous amount of plastic wrap used to protect this thing during shipping. I definitely appreciate the effort to protect the equipment but I’d like to see the company be a little smarter with the packaging method. I think they can still achieve their goal of protecting the components while using less material.Would I recommend this bike? Yes. After many months of use I’m still amazed what a solid bike this is considering what I paid. Just remember, this is a very basic bike. You get on, you pedal, maybe adjust the resistance now and then, and that’s it.
