The 7 Best Exercise Bikes of 2019

You’ll feel like you're in Spin^TM class with the Sunny Health and Fitness bike. The near-silent belt transmission, augmented by a heavy-duty flywheel (47 pounds), crank, and steel frame makes the bike a rugged piece of equipment. Just to note, the heavier the flywheel, the smoother the ride as it helps maintain momentum for longer periods of time. Another feature is the fully adjustable seat. With a quick twist of the knob, you can move back and forth as well as up and down, keeping your workout at your own individual comfort level. The bike also comes equipped with a metal bottle holder and can hold up to 275 pounds.

Reviewers are pleased this Amazon Choice bike comes at such a high quality with so many features and doesn’t break the bank.

You can also track your progress and goals with the super in-depth tracking it provides, helping you stay accountable and see how far you've come.
