Resistance
In total there are eight levels of resistance which is a good range for a folding model. Most noteworthy is the fact that there are a few customer reviews stating that the resistance offered is fairly light. With this been a folding exercise bike the resistance offered is never going to be too testing. If you are looking for a very tough workout then a spin bike would be more suitable to your needs.
Seat & Handlebars
The seat and handlebars are an important consideration when buying any exercise bike. Ultrasport have come up with a novel solution in terms of providing a comfortable exercise bike by adding a backrest to this model. This provides added support and puts less strain on the back.

Good Amazon Review
I’ve had it for about a month and I’m actually quite happy with it.
It really is pretty sturdy, I wouldn’t have thought it possible on a folding model.
The intensity dial seems to work well, and I find the amount of resistance well-balanced. It’s also almost completely quiet.
Bad Amazon Review
Everything about the exercise bike is fine except for it not being possible to lower the seat sufficiently to enable my wife, who is 5 feet 1 inch in height, to operate the pedals. So, use of the machine is limited to me whereas the intention was for both of us to use it.
Latest Customer Reviews 2023
Good
“In love this bike. It feels really sturdy and the seat is so much more comfortable than I expected. The hardest level is a moderate-high effort but it may frustrate those with really high levels of fitness who want a pasting!” – Briony
Bad
“The only issue is the pin to hold it in the folded position wouldn’t fit through the hole, but that’s a minor quibble, we both think it’s great…” – George
Extras
For those looking for extra comfort when exercising there is the option to buy the model with a backrest. However, this does cost a little bit more but definitely worth it.
