Pro Fitness FEB2000 Folding Exercise Bike Review
The first feature that is worth discussing is the hand grip pulse sensor. It’s placed conveniently to track your pulse whilst you exercise and the easy-to-follow console provides feedback on key information such as your pulse, time, distance, calories burned, odometer (for distance travelled over time) and speed.
It’s also got 8 tension levels, a 3kg flywheel for stability, and an adjustable seat with self-levelling pedals for extra comfort.
The manual switch to increase the magnetic resistance tension levels also add to the comfort and ease of using the FEB2000, because if you are finding one level too uncomfortable, then you can drop to one you are more comfortable with until you improve your fitness and are ready to tackle higher levels again.
The seat is adjustable, and it’s easily done, so you won’t have to worry about whether the seat can accommodate you and your comfort needs.
Even more unusual for a folding exercise bike is the backrest, which is usually not present in these sorts of bikes, so it is a welcome addition here and will make using the bike even more comfortable.
The bike is foldable, and foldable in a way that means you really can store it out of the way when it’s not in use, and also comes with wheels to help to move it around more easily.
It’s even possible to use the bike on carpet! (although the manufacturers recommend placing a mat underneath for extra stability). The folded dimensions of the bike are 42 x 42.5 x 138cm when stored upright. And even the backrest folds down!
It should be noted, that this bike has a maximum user weight of 15st 10lbs, as being relatively low, however this is similar to most folding bikes available on the market. Also, because of the position of the pedals, some users under around 5ft have found this bike too tall to use.
If you’re a beginner, this bike will surely put you through your paces. There is also a handy exercise guide in the manual too, so if you wanted some help getting started, Pro Fitness can point you in the right direction.
