Nice product for short-statured users

By Sylvia F., Tampa, FL, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the cycle, asked a friend to put it together, and was fully ready to start using the product. However, I’m 5’10 and unfortunately could not pedal the cycle because my legs are too long. I had other friends of similar height try and their experience was the same.

The cycle is a nice stable, sturdy unit. I subsequently gifted it to my son for my grandchildren, ages 13 and 10. My son is 6’2” so he also couldn’t use the cycle.

The timing was good, however, since school and other outside activities were canceled due to COVID. The kids are quite comfortable with using the cycle. The ability to fold up the cycle was also of benefit because my son lives in limited space and he can easily store the unit when it’s not in use. I’ve recommended the product to my shorter-statured friends and those with age-appropriate grandchildren. I only gave the product 4 stars because of its limited use for me, but overall it’s very good. Maybe you can post a recommended heights not to exceed, measurements.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Upright to recumbent positions

Sturdy, convenient, well made

Easy to fold and store

Nice, bright color which attracts you to want you to use it

Unable to use because of the length of my legs

Satisfied so far

By Sandra S., North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I don't understand why everyone has had so much trouble?! I ordered Slim Cycle on 2/9/18 (free shipping by the way), the item shipped on 2/14/18 and was received on 2/20/18 through FedEx. So far I've made four payments of $39.99, only one more to go. I guess my biggest concern is that they may try to take more than the one payment I owe. Time will tell, and I will definitely keep my eye on it. However, I would have to say that so far I'm completely satisfied and would definitely recommend to friends.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Can't wait to get pedaling

By Catherine V., Westminster, MD, Verified Reviewer

It didn't take long at all to get my order. When it came, I put it together with no trouble at all. Getting all excited to get started, and it came with two left pedals and no right. I was so disappointed. I called Customer Service, spoke with Kim, very nice. She assured me my correct pedal will be sent out today. So if that happens, I'm totally satisfied.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Ease of assembly

By Pat P., Kentucky, Verified Reviewer

Must say their assembly instructions were some of the best, and I have assembled many, many items over the years. It was ready to use in approximately 30-45 minutes, unboxing and assembly both. Can't say as to how well it will perform for my workouts since I just finished putting it together, but it does work very smoothly. I will be expecting at least reasonable results.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great

By Scott P., Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I got it last week. Instructions are idiot proof. Well packaged and well made. I've used it every day. Hard to believe they can design it, advertise it, make it in China, and ship it for 200 bucks. Great value.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Slim Cycle - YES!

By Donna H., Syracuse, NY, Verified Reviewer

I purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond with a 20% coupon from the store and a $25 gift card that I received for my B-day. So for $145.79, I couldn't go wrong! My husband put it together in no time at all as the instructions were the best I've seen. I tried out all aspects of the bike with a short workout but can't wait to actually start my full workouts on it! The only thing is that I have to figure out how it folds up. I will do that once I start my workouts this week! So far, I love it!

Great

By Donna M., Joplin, MO, Verified Reviewer

Instructions for assembly are very easy to understand. I am 73 and assembled it by myself. My husband who has MS loves it and so do I. I was surprised of the quality for the price. We are extremely happy with it.

Not disappointed.

By Carol D., New York, Verified Reviewer

We picked up a Slim Cycle at Bed Bath & Beyond. You can use the 20% off coupon and save $40 off the price which is $199. It was easy to assemble, comfortable and so quiet! Best of all, if you aren't happy with it, you can return it to Bed Bath & Beyond and get a refund. The box says 45 pounds. I know someone mentioned that in another comment that they weren't sure of the weight and consequently the cost to ship it back. They show older people on the infomercial. My husband and I are in our sixties and fit. If you are looking for a cardio machine for your home, I'd say you won't go wrong with this.

We haven't had it very long yet, but so far we are pleased.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome!

By Jackie M., New York, Verified Reviewer

I love this bike! It's super easy to put together and the workouts are great! I got the bike in 4 weeks, which is within the time frame that they gave (3-6 weeks). It takes little space and doesn't make a sound. I was surprised at the great workout. It's really sturdy. I didn't expect much because it was so cheap, but I am pleasantly surprised. I told everyone in my office to get one! It's amazing! Ignore the negative reviews, they have nothing to do with the bike itself.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great price for this product

By Essie D., Rhode Island, Verified Reviewer

I ordered my Slim Cycle on an off-brand website for $120, shipping included! Can’t believe how much more some people have paid for it! My brother put it together for me - I’m a 75-year-old female living with a dog - and I keep it in the recumbent position because of a spinal fracture. Although I like using it, I would like to be able to get it out of the living room when not in use. Read through the instructions but couldn’t find how to fold it up. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
