What is it?
The 2-in-1 folding fitness bicycle is a cheaper option than the ordinary stationary bike, but it can provide basically the same exercise as the ordinary stationary bicycle, while taking up less space. Because of its convenient folding frame design, you can fold it and store it upright after using it for exercising, which can help you save much space at home. In addition, because it also adopts a 2-in-1 design, it allows you to choose to do sweat-burning exercise in an upright position or a slower-paced exercise in a recumbent stance according to your own exercise needs. Generally speaking, a foldable exercise bike weighs between 30 and 50 pounds. The lighter 2-in-1 folding fitness bicycle will be easier to move and place in your desired position, while the heavier 2-in-1 folding fitness bicycle will be more stable and the pedal will move more smoothly.
