Not bad, but not my favorite
This bike isn't bad, but it's not my favorite either. The assembly isn't awful, but I did have a bit of confusion with the instructions. Certain parts, especially the seat, was difficult for me to get adjusted just right. My husband didn't have as much trouble, though. It's not as comfortable as I thought it would be, but it could be worse. Other than those things, it's a nice bike, and seems quite durable.

Exercise Bike
This is a great exercise bike. It wasnโt to bad putting it together. Itโs as comfortable as a bike like this can be. It seems to be good quality too. I use it everyday for spin and itโs great. I would recommend.

Great Stationary Bike - Adjustable and Comfortable
This HAPBEAR Exercise Bike is a great bike. Its a solid bike to have as part of your at-home workout. My wife primarily uses this bike. She likes that it is adjustable - seat, handlebars, height. It is also easy to adjust the resistance. The seat is a thicker seat and is comfortable. Assembly was straightforward, took about 25-30 minutes. My wife likes having this bike at home, easy for her to squeeze in her workout during the day - overall its a great bike for her home workouts.

Good low-cost bike
This is a decent lower-cost bike. It's easy to assemble and adjust. The seat is surprisingly comfortable. I usually have trouble with bike seats but this one feels great to me. If you don't like it though, it's a cinch to swap. The built-in LCD display provides basic readouts like pulse and calories burned. It looks like a cheap LCD display though. There's a nice tray on the handlebars for mounting a tablet or phone. Tension is adjusted manually via knob. Nothing fancy. This is my least favorite part of the bike, but it spins well and is fairly quiet unless you've got the tension cranked up. The front base has two wheels that stick straight forward. You just lift up from the back base to pivot the forward wheels into the floor, then you can roll it wherever. The bike is fairly heavy so isn't going anywhere when flat on the ground, but it's easy to lift the rear and balance when moving, so you can scoot it around the room without too much trouble.A good starter bike at an affordable price. I've been considering a Peloton, but wanted something cheaper to prove to myself that I'd stick with it first. This bike fits the bill.

Good
This bike took me a while to put together, but that might just be on me. It does work well, and it has been helpful in my weight loss journey. Does not take up a lot of space in my home, and I like that I can do a gym activity without having to really interrupt my workday from home.

I would give it five stars except for for some engineering and instruction issues
First, it's a fine bike once put together and I am enjoying riding it.I have always thought that after creating instructions, a company should give someone $25 off the street to follow them and put it together while videotaped just to see where they went wrong. This would have helped this company. It will say to attach something but never tell you how to attach it, fortunately I have done some bikes prior and recognized some odd tools. But there were some engineering issues that defied logic. First, there was a very heavy metal piece that appears to be important that fits into where the slide for the handle bar post needs to go, but if you don't remove it, you can keep trying to attach the handlebar posts and instructions say and it will never go in (as noted by another reviewer as well.) Eventually, I just removed this piece and the handlebar slide fit in but that gives me little confidence as to what I should have done with this heavy piece that shouldn't just be garbage? (photo of black piece)Secondly and more concerning, is the slide for both the seat and the handlebars won't work properly because the knob to tighten it is too long, so if you are shorter and want to slide the seat closer or the handlbars closer as they are made to go, the knob to tighten them into place will get stopped by the handle of the bar so you are forced to have the handlebars further than you may be comfortable due to an engineering mistake in the parts. I would like mine closer and it's made to be closer with a slide on top that goes much further, but it's blocked by the part handle.The seat doesn't stay in place well. I keep tightening it but it's a mover.The petals are odd to me for an indoor bike. One of the beauties of having an indoor bike or something like my oculus is you can workout at home barefoot. Not true for a treadmill where the weight of your body lands on your feet, but if you are just using your upper body (oculus) or aren't bearing your weight down on your feet (indoor bike) you have more freedom to not gear up like you are at the gym. Not true for this bike though, it has spikes on the petals and straps to strap your feet in (you don't have to use the straps) so you have to wear tennis shoes and socks. The more I used them I realized my tennis shoes just made it hard to slip into this without slim biking shoes and no socks so I switched to ballet flats which slide in more easily.One more point on the instructions, it seems odd that it tells you how to stretch before working out but leaves out how to adjust the bike to ride comfortably for you. You will need to google where the seat should fall on your body for proper adjustment as well as the handlebars.One final note is the calorie counter will likely be way off. It does not ask if you are male or female or your height and weight. I wear a bodybugg as well as a move sensor so my calorie burn is measured accurately two ways, so on my first very short ride my actual calorie burn was 25 when the bike showed it was 130. It would be nice if it was set up so you could enter a code to put in your height and weight and sex and then it record just your burn and other users could set up their own but this would likely be far more expensive I suppose, but as is, it's set up for a bulky male and that should be noted.It's a great bike that I am enjoying and you can even attach a cadence sensor to use it with Virtual reality headsets to bike to worlds far away but I think they need to work through their instructions and part issues to make it a five star bike.

Easy to use & incredibly sturdy
I actually love this exercise bike. I was surprised by how sturdy and stable it is. There is no shaking or wobbling whatsoever. The box was super heavy! My husband said it was easy to put together. The manual gives lots of general assembly instructions, but did not mention what to do with the dangling wires, so I eventually figured out that you have to hook them together (one set for pedal speed to show up on the monitor and one for pulse tracking, I think). I found the seat to be a bit hard, but that was all fixed up when I added a gel cushion cover to it. I love how adjustable the seat and handle positions are, so you can find the perfect fit. Since this is manually operated by leg power, it is extremely quiet. This also means you can place it absolutely anywhere (unlike my plug-in treadmill that never gets used), and it doesn't take up a whole lot of space. Riding it is smooth and can be as hard or effortless as you want, with the adjustable leg tension. I went into this expecting it to be easier than walking, but I was very mistaken! I tire much faster, and my legs are getting a serious workout, which is great. I wish the stand above the monitor was a little larger or more stable. I've knocked the Kindle Fire off a couple of times now because the lip supporting it is so small and low. But, really, even with the hard seat and the imperfect tablet stand, this bike is amazing! I would for sure recommend it because it's simply designed, but super effective.
