When my 30 year old Exercise bike died on me last year I was at a loss with what to replace it with. There were so many different types to choose from! I chose the Elev-8 for the following reasons. It was a Spin Bike, had lots of positive reviews and lastly, it was heavily discounted for a bike of real pedigree. On arrival its weight surprised me and it was a bit of an effort to get the main part to my Gym, in the attic. However, the weight makes the whole bike very stable and solid and its a joy to get on every morning for a 20 - 30 minute session. It was also very easy to assemble, simple but comprehensive instructions. The digital read out appears very accurate and the brake is close to hand and effective if you need to stop the fly wheel in a hurry. All in all, I would recommend this Bike to anyone. Its just what I wanted.Read full review

The bicycle works, but the size of the frame has been reduced to the absolute minimum to keep costs down. 1. According to the suppliers it is deigned for users up to 6', but at 5'9" it is not possible to raise the seat height sufficiently. I sent images to the supplier to show this. I have now modified the design by adding a length of 40mm square tube to the seat slider,turning the 40mm slider into 80mmx40mm, and by using a gel seat cover. These gave an additional 60mm height which is still not right for me, but works. 2. The pedals go too near to the floor and can only be used with the foot grip side, or they will scrape on the floor. Now I have modified it, I am able to use it daily, but not everyone will know how to safely increase ride height. The seat tube is 60mm too short, and the handlebar tube is short by the same amount.

I bought this bike so I could do Les Mills on Demand RPM and SPRINT classes at home, and it is fine for home use, but I would not suggest using this bike in a commercial setting. The bike is easy to put together, and quiet when used, with just about enough adjustment in the tension setting to get a good workout (although if you're very fit and/or pretty strong the highest setting may not be enough when doing slower hill climbs - but I guess you could always do a sprint hill climb instead, and/or increase the time!). I'm 5ft 9" and need to have the saddle on a low setting meaning there is plenty of room to adjust the height for taller people. Like a few others, I have changed the saddle to one that is far more comfortable, and as I wear cycle shoes, I've also changed the pedals to accommodate SPD cleats. (I find the foot cage to be uncomfortable when standing on the bike, and there is too much opportunity for knees/toes/ankles to move in comparison to using cleats, and clipping onto the peddles). I removed the bottle holder as it just got in the way getting on and off the bike, but as I have a table next to the bike, it's not an issue. I didn't spend a fortune on the new saddle and peddles, and looking around at other spin bikes, I would still have needed to pay more to get a new bike kitted out with everything I now have. All in all, for the price this is a decent, well made, sturdy bike for home use. Read full review

Great bike for the price. Does the job. Easy to assemble. Good weight so doesn’t rock around. Heavy flywheel provides good workout and smooth quiet ride. I am only small and 5ft tall so can’t really comment on size for taller people. Seat and handle bars are both adjustable. Not the comfiest seat but I’ve read reviews where people have opted to change it for a comfier one. I use it indoors in poor weather sometimes whilst watching tv or I take it into the garden in good weather. Gets daily use so is great just what I wanted it for.

I love this product. I was dubious when I ordered it and concerned that quality and price may mean I would end up with something that was inferior to my expectation. However happy to report it is excellent. Really easy to put together, sturdy and well built. Only thing I don't like is that the reset on the clock is a bit hit and miss but apart from that I am thrilled with it.
