Product Summary
Considering that it costs under $200, the Pooboo Folding Exercise Bike has a lot of surprising features. For one, it has a 300-pound weight capacity—the Peloton, which costs nearly three times as this bike, has the same weight limit. It also comes with magnetic resistance, which is often reserved for more expensive bikes since it’s more costly to produce than friction resistance.
The magnetic resistance should ensure a smooth and quiet ride that won’t disturb you, your virtual office mates, or anyone in your home. There are eight adjustable resistance levels, plus the bike comes with a set of resistance bands so you can work your upper body while you ride, too.
Perhaps one of the most attractive features is its versatility—the bike can be used as an upright bike or as a semi-recumbent bike. And, as its name implies, it can be folded for easy storage when not in use.
