Best Folding Exercise Bikes in the UK
What is the best folding exercise bike? This piece of equipment comes in two types: folding upright bikes and folding recumbent bikes. The latter option is ideal for people who need back support and features a reclining seat for more comfortable exercising. However, the majority of folding bikes are of an upright type.
How Folding Exercise Bikes Differ
Unlike recumbent bikes, they have no back support and require the user to bend over the handlebar to ride a bicycle. They look more like a regular bike and take less space due to their upright design.
By type of resistance, exercise bikes are categorized into direct contact resistance and magnetic resistance bikes. The former utilizes felt pads that squeeze the flywheel as the tension is increased. This type of exercise bike is cheaper but requires more maintenance.
Magnetic resistance bikes are quieter, more efficient and durable. They are equipped with a flywheel connected to the magnets, and it is the electric current going through the magnets that controls the resistance level.
Additionally, collapsible exercise bikes differ by their functionality and weight capacity. While all of them are compact due to their folding design, some models tend to be sturdier and larger in size while others are more portable and lightweight.
Folding Exercise Bikes Compared
Let’s compare two models — the BCAN Exercise Bike and Ultrasport F-Bike. Both are foldable and battery-powered exercise bikes with 8 levels of magnetic resistance. Both have LCD screens that display such essential metrics as time, distance, speed, heart rate, and calories.
However, the Ultrasport F-Bike is more lightweight, easier to move around and transport. Made from metal, this piece of equipment measures only 117 x 40 x 21 cm, weighs 14 kg, and has a maximum weight capacity of 100 kg.
The BCAN Exercise Bike is a more heavy-duty option. This bike supports a weight of up to 150 kg but is heavier (17 kg) and bulkier (112 x 68 x 49 cm). This model is built with commercial-quality steel and Triangle-structures rather than ordinary X-structure, something that increases the bike’s stability, durability, and sturdiness.
On top of that, the BCAN bike features an oversized, soft, ergonomic seat with 7 levels of height adjustment for more comfortable exercise. The textured pedals have anti-slip properties, while the rubber straps keep the feet tightly in place. While being pretty heavy, this model is designed to be portable and has transport wheels. It takes up around 0.98 square meters of space and is easy to fold up — just pull out the pin and that’s it!
