Exercise Bike Deals

Cheap exercise bikes for home cardio

Upright, recumbent and indoor cycling models make up the cheap exercise bikes on this page. Magnetic, friction and air resistance options and app-ready consoles are included, which suits riders who want spin-class style workouts at home on their own schedule.

Cheap exercise bikes: upright, recumbent or spin?

• Upright bikes mimic road riding, recumbent bikes add a back-supported seat that many seniors find easier, and spin bikes use a heavy flywheel.
• Seat and handlebar adjustment should cover your inseam and height, and the user weight limit should exceed yours.
• Magnetic resistance runs quietly with little upkeep, while felt-pad friction systems wear down and need replacement over time.
• Some exercise bikes need a paid app subscription for classes or full metrics, so see whether the console works on its own.

Which suits you: Riders with back or knee concerns often feel comfortable on a recumbent model, while those chasing high-intensity workouts may want a spin bike with a heavier flywheel.
