Don’t have enough space for an upright bike?

Folding exercise bikes are a wonderful alternative. Here are some features to consider when shopping around for a folding upright stationary bike:

Many high-quality stationary bikes have some of these features, but the Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Bike with pulse stands out from the rest as a bike that’s compact but suitable for users who are big and tall.

Introducing The Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Bike With Pulse

We spent a lot of time testing out and reviewing a variety of upright stationary bikes, and Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Bike meets a lot of our expectations when it comes to a stationary bike for home use.

Check out some of these important features to help you determine if this bike is the best choice for you:

Ideally, we would all live in a home that provides enough space for a home gym, but apartment living and even single-family houses aren’t large enough to workout comfortably.

If space is an issue in your life, don’t make it an excuse for not working out as you may benefit from an upright folding bike.

While a bike that folds up sounds convenient, it may seem impractical and even a little unsafe. This bike is not only safe to ride, but the design is sturdy enough to comfortably (and safely) accommodate anyone who weighs up to 300 pounds.

One might assume that a folding bike, due to its ability to fold up into a compact size, may be uncomfortable but the padded handlebars are in a comfortable position, and the large seat has adequate cushioning.

Weighing just over 42 pounds and with transporting wheels, the Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Bike is lightweight and easy to move whether you need to move it to another level of your home or put it in storage.

Even though this bike is lightweight, the extended leg stabilizers prevent tipping or moving around while you ride.

Since maintaining proper form when riding a stationary bicycle is essential for sustaining a long workout and eliminating discomfort or strain, the larger pedal design with a safety strap keeps your feet from slipping.

The precision balanced flywheel and V-belt drive make your ride smooth and quiet. With a quiet and smooth ride, you can listen to a workout playlist, watch television, or even read a book, whatever will keep you motivated to ride longer, more frequently, and meet your fitness goals.

Another tool that can be helpful in creating fitness goals and sticking to them is to monitor your health stats as you ride. Some stationary bikes force users to purchase a separate console or wear a fitness tracker.

This bike comes with an easy to read LCD computer which displays workout data such as calories burned, distance, time, speed, pulse, and an odometer. Another standout feature of this upright bike is the built-in heart rate and pulse sensors on the handlebars.

Keeping track of your heart rate is important when you exercise regardless if you work out five times a week or are just starting to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

What We Like

We like that this upright bike holds up to its claim to be compact and lightweight.

This makes it easy for someone, who lives alone in a small apartment, to set up, use, and store the bike with no trouble. Another plus is that it’s quiet (a “must” for many apartment dwellers).

Due to its ease of use, there’s no need to head to the gym to use a stationary bike when it's convenient and portable enough to use at home. It’s an ideal piece of equipment for anyone, of most sizes, who want control over how hard he or she works out.

What We Don’t Like

While this bike may offer a good enough workout for some, it may not be the best bike for hardcore cyclists or someone who is trying to stay in shape during their off-season of cycling.

You can certainly work up a sweat and control the resistance, but it may not be “intense” enough for some users.

Buying Advice

The Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Bike has many of the features that people might expect when looking for a bike that folds up.

If you are looking for a piece of equipment to supplement the days you can’t go to the gym or even go for a bike ride this may be great for you. It’s also a great “starter” stationary bike for users who want to start out slow.

Conclusion

This bike does not disappoint when it comes to being lightweight, portable, and compact. With a price tag around $200, it’s also a great option for someone who has a smaller budget for a home gym.

Given the price, it’s important to realize that while sturdy, the bike may not last as long as other more expensive stationary upright bikes.
