Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best exercise bike for home use?

For most people, the Schwinn IC4 or Bowflex C6 offer the best balance of quality and value. Premium buyers love the Peloton Bike or Keiser M3i for their gym-quality feel.

Are exercise bikes good for weight loss?

Yes - 30 minutes of moderate cycling burns 210-294 calories. Combined with a calorie deficit, an exercise bike is one of the most effective home cardio options.

Is a spin bike better than an exercise bike?

Spin bikes offer more intense, realistic cycling workouts with heavier flywheels. Standard exercise bikes are quieter and better for casual fitness goals.
