V-fit ATC1 Air Cycle

I read many reviews on this on Amazon & Argos; especially regarding the seat being uncomfortable. Personally I find it extremely comfortable & this is the third exercise bike I have owned over the years. The seat is wide and lovely to sit on for a good workout. The moving arms of the cycle gives you a full body workout & even after 10mins of varying speeds I feel like I've had a good hours workout.I love the fan on the wheel which is v cooling when working up a sweat.I was surprised that there were no straps on the pedals for your feet, but really you don't need them as the pedals are nice and wide.Was easy to put together-my teenage son & his mate did it in no time.Only one criticism-the speed dial is in-between the bottom of the handlebars making it awkward to change speed when in the middle of a workout. But really that's it.Arrived quickly. Good packaging. Great value for money. Best exercise bike I've had. Doesn't take up too much room. Not too heavy to move around. Amazon price cheaper than Argos. :)))))))

I was sceptic at first when I first looked at this product, but when it eventually came it was worth the money spent, and the price is brilliant for such a incredible machine, when it arrives it is a hassle to put up, the instructions are ok but the can sometimes be confusing, the handle bars and peddles were the most difficult part of construction.I did at first worry about the weight limit, as I am 3 stone above it, after 1 month of having this bike, all that has changed, anyway back to the bike, its strong and able, the negative thing about this bike is the seat, I would strongly suggest buying another seat.overall this bike is fantastic, a must buy.

I always liked using the exercise bikes in the gym, and for some time in the late 90sI went to spinning classes, so when I decided to whip my lardy butt into some sort of shape at home I looked for an air cycle. This was available an a good price so I bought it. It took me and a friend about 80 leisurely mins to assemble the beast. The only bit that confused us was the pedal assembly - mainly because there are so many bits - but logic and empirical effort prevailed. Fabulous machine. I have been using it every morning for a week, while listening to my back catalogue of rock. I bought a gel saddle cover just to see if it was any more comfortable and the answer pretty much is no. (The existing saddle is no better or worse than any other.) It is also impossible to be sure that you are buying the correct size cover as no-one puts dimensions on their ads (doh!). I had to force the one I got on - touch and go. If I wear this one out I will certainly buy another.

Assembly was fairly straightforward, no missing parts, and once assembled the bike works wonderfully.My only critique would be the design of the tension/friction belt, whatever cotton they are using to fasten the felt pad to the inside of the strap is not strong enough and since purchasing I have had to replace the belt twice. These are not cheap mind, at £15 a pop it starts to feel like the gillette razer routine. Moving forward I intend to add additional stitching to the next belt with some proper industrial cotton.

I hate leaving reviews like this but have been forced to do it. The bike felt flimsy when assembling, and a number of the bolts wouldn't bite when screwed in. I ignored this as the bike was cheap and you could still ride it. The tension belt snapped within two weeks. Requested a return and waited in for two days for courier but they never sent one. Its still sat in its box in hallway. No idea how to get this collected and I am out of pocket

Delivered promptly. Good assembly instructions but you need to concentrate to make sure you put on the right nuts. washers and bushes in the right order, particularly on the pedals. The leaflet focuses on aerobic exercises but there are plenty of other good all-round exercise regimes on the internet that are suitable for this machine. Good for lower body/upper body or both. Does make a bit of noise but am told that this is because the bushes etc. are new and it will abate, so I will see. Overall very good value and a relatively light but sturdy exercise machine.

I had purchased the earlier model and used it regularly for three years or so, only replacing the tension belt (Due to usage - expected) but had to replace the whole bike when it was damaged in a house move.Unfortunately this model is of inferior quality.Since purchasing it in January 2019 and using it for about 20 mins a day, 3 or 4 days a week, I've had to replace:1. The right hand side handle bar: it separated at the weld joint2. The Chain - it simply broke3. THe left hand side handle bar: same issue as aboveTo be fair, Beny Sports have been provided excellent after sales service, sending me replacement parts within a week or calling them; but the warranty is only a year and I expect more things to break.It's a good all round exercise bike/cross trainer but I'd not buy this again as it'll be a money pit.

This cycle was recommended to me by a friend and it really is very good value for the job that it does. Very sturdy and easy to operate.However, my first cycle came minus two parts, so it couldn't be assembled and had to go back. However, the replacement came the next day before 1 p.m. so very good service there and I did get a voucher for compensation. I would recommend this cycle to anyone and in this wet weather it's great to be able to cycle indoors, keeping dry.
