KeppiFitness Recumbent Exercise Bike, Recumbent Bike for Adults with Magnetic Resistance, Exercise Bike for Home 380LB Capacity, Cardio Stationary Bikes for Seniors with Pulse Sensor

This is third time I've purchased a recumbent bike (2 from other brands) and I think I finally got it right! KeppiFitness makes a high-quality bike for a great price. Unlike other bikes I've had, this one took me very little time and effort to put together. The bike is incredibly comfortable, allowing me to enjoy longer workouts without any back or butt pain. It operates smoothly and quietly, which is a huge plus for me since I usually exercise while watching TV. The adjustable settings make it easy to customize my workouts, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my fitness routine since I started using it. The quality of the bike is impressive, and it feels sturdy and well-built. Overall, KeppiFitness has exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended!

Purchased 1 1/2 months ago. Wanted time to use it before reviewing. For the price (just over $200 on sale), I’m very happy with this purchase. I’m 6’ tall with a 32” inseam and the seat goes back far enough for me to straighten my legs out completely, but the seat is probably 1/2” from its limit. My wife is 5’6” and she fits on it fine. 33”+ inseam might think it’s a bit too compact.The smoothness is what you would expect from a $200 magnetic resistance bike with a small flywheel (don’t know the weight/size of it). I’ve had both knees replaced in the past 7 months and this works well for my rehab needs. As a former amateur cyclist, I wouldn’t count on this as a “quality winter training” option, but you likely wouldn’t lose much strength using it.I was concerned about the “step-over” to get on it, but even with 2 bad knees, with the handle to hang onto for balance, it was very easy to do. It’s built well (I’m solidly on the wrong side of 200#’s). Very little wiggle or wobble with the seat and seat locking mechanism. I like the mechanical resistance dial vs an electronic button to press. At this price point it’s just one more thing to go wrong. The range of resistance is good for rehab work, but likely not enough for a stronger cyclist looking for an indoor option. Biggest downside for me is I have size 13 feet and, with shoes on, my heels hit the floor when pedaling. Solved it by just wearing socks instead of shoes and I’ve had no problem. The pedals are not so rough that it causes a problem (I’m usually only on it for 20-30 minutes at a time).Assembly took probably 2 1/2 hours, but I’m admittedly slow and read all the directions. Assembly was not difficult, just took a little time. Everything was included and fairly well labeled - if you think you’re missing a bolt or nut, check the bike frame first, some are already partially installed and have to be removed.The console works correctly and is easy to reset to zero. The pulse sensors? Well, let’s just say it’s a $200 exercise bike. Take the money you saved and invest in a fitness watch 😉.All in all, I’m happy with my purchase and use it regularly. At this point, I believe it was money well spent.

Assembled 2/25/24Hubby had no issues putting together (he might have an advantage as an engineer). Took him about 30 minutes. All parts were included, nothing missing and everything fit together great. Seat is firm, just a very slight tilting when in use but nothing big. Very quiet when in use. Bike only makes a faint whooshing sound when in use. Straps for the foot pedals had to be adjusted to the widest option for my wide feet and they’re still a bit snug. I do wish they adjusted further or the straps were just two inches wider. Hubby said the straps are a little tight and difficult to adjust so make sure fit is good with your preferred workout shoes before securing them down.Very simple bike, which I love. Console runs solely on batteries, 2 AA are included. Be aware it does seem to eat batteries fairly quickly and keep some on hand. I had to replace mine after a month or so. Once it would not reset from the previous session when I pressed and held down the button so I had to remove and place back a battery to get it to do so.I just let it toggle through each mode on its Scan function, showing every one a few seconds at a time. Not sure Pulse is that accurate. Showed a pretty low pulse readout for me until I’m almost done with a 30 minute ride, then it shows over 100. Which has to be inaccurate as I’m absolutely sweating my butt off by mid-workout. That being said, I really feel like I’m getting a good workout on this thing. Granted, the resistance setting is on 3 but I’d been off exercising for a few months and need to work back up. Every time I finish, I can really feel it in my butt and inner and outer thighs.But the simplicity is nice. Had a great old school Proform treadmill (about 15 years or more old), no subscription mess/restrictions that too many “better” quality ones force today in order to even halfway work. Alas, I worked it to death and what’s available today with too much subscription stuff looked abysmal. Exercise bikes were the next option and probably better for my aging knees. But still too many come with subscriptions or features that are unnecessary. This one is great. Very simple, basic console and if you want a subscription style workout you can get that on a tablet device to use with this.The little shelf will hold my iPhone in a horizontal position great (will not fit in vertical position, probably the case) so I can still see the console readouts. The cupholder is just in reach enough for my short arms and can hold a 40 oz. Stanley style cup (mine is a just-as-good $4 version). I’m 5’2” and can adjust the seat great for my height. Scooting back all the way is good for my 6’ husband. Many of these bikes only really accommodate short or tall but this bike works for both of us. The seat itself is hard although one main reason I went with a recumbent bike is the wider seat. I cannot do the tiny seats on other bikes. The groin pain is real. Going to get a seat cushion one day and hopefully will fix the seat hardness issue.I’ve been using this bike for four months now, sometimes twice a day, and it’s wonderful. Great setup out of the box, challenging enough for me for a good workout (I started on resistance level 3, using 5 now) and hopefully it will last for a good long time. If it does, I’d definitely get another one some day. I feel it’s a great deal for the money. At the time I got it, Amazon offered a $50 off coupon which was nice. Shipping was awesome! Picked up two hours from us and delivered via Amazon’s own delivery service and a very nice delivery lady. She had a dolly and was able to place it in my garage for me. Gave her some bottled water for the road. Overall absolutely thrilled with the whole deal.
