ProGear 225 Folding Magnetic Upright Exercise Bike

ProGear is a relatively new name that many people will not have heard of before, but they are slowly establishing themselves as a manufacturer of high-quality home fitness equipment. While they do not necessarily manufacture commercial-grade exercise machines, they have developed their own line of treadmills, ellipticals, and exercise bikes that are more affordable. The ProGear 225 foldable upright bike is ideal for tight quarters. The upgraded crank system ensures smooth and consistent pedaling. It comes with transport wheels for easy mobility. The dual transmission flywheel on the bike allows for a high resistance workout. The large cushioned seat can be easily adjusted to fit people ranging in height from 5'1" to 6'.

To begin, it has 8 magnetic resistance settings, giving you a variety of workout options. Levels 1 and 2 will be very easy and will not provide much resistance, but because it has a dual transmission flywheel, it can deliver high intensity workouts on the higher settings, ie levels 7 and 8. Furthermore, it has a 3-piece cranking system that helps to deliver a smooth and consistent pedal motion with virtually no noise, which some of the other low-cost upright bikes do not have.
