Product Summary
If you’re looking for a portable and foldable cardio machine for your home gym, the Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Exercise Bike might be a solution.
At just 39 pounds, this bike has a high 300-pound weight capacity, making it an option for many. When in use, its footprint is just 31 inches long by 19 inches wide by 46 inches high, and it also folds for easy storage. It has a large, padded seat and a basic LCD display that shows metrics including distance, calories burned, time, speed, and pulse (which it calculates from the pulse sensors on the handlebars).
While it doesn’t have any tech capabilities built in, you have the option of purchasing the cadence sensor from MyCloud Fitness for $50 to attach to one of the Exerpeutic bike’s pedals, allowing you to connect to the MyCloud Fitness app via Bluetooth to access on-demand classes for a monthly fee.
The bike has just eight resistance levels, so it won’t be the best choice for serious cyclists. And for $130, it probably won’t last forever. But, if you’re just looking for an easy way to get active at home, this bike could work.

Summary
