Good Bike but also missing M10 screw and washer ... Did they do this to everyone for a laugh? – Rang aldi warranty today for missing screw and washer which seemed unnecessary but ..I also fear that 1 screw may also be very important so yeah ... Seems like they'll be posting me 1 screw and 1 washer :) and hopefully the bike lasts for many good years

Missing bolts and washers - maybe lost in outer space – Missing parts numbered 10 and 11 - bolts and washers. These hold the handle bars in place. The advertisement for the bike is set in outer space. Down here on Earth we just want all the parts in the box please. Show details

Great bike! Great value! – I just purchased the bike. I was skeptical at first based on the price, but I am very impressed with the quality of the bike. It gives you the same workout as riding a regular bicycle. It was very easy to assemble. I was even able to assemble it by myself. Took about 40 minutes. The seat is large and very comfortable. I also love that it folds… Read more

so when not in use I can move it. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a stationary bicycle.

Sturdy bike – Pros Good solid bike. Manual tensioning dial, easy to use. Bike seat is wide and solid, easily moves up or down. Seat also slides out or in allowing for longer legs. Display timer has large digits. Handlebars move forward or back as needed, fairly easily Cons Display is a little confusing. Maybe I just need a bit more time to sort it … Read more

out.

Heart monitor handlebars aren't very responsive

Try it first if you are short, you might have issues with the pedalling as seat may not go low enough

Sturdy bike!! – Bought the Crane Exercise Bike at Aldi's. Great sturdy bike!!! I have a few complaints: Bike seat level is too high for me ( I need a stool to get on it). I'm 5' 2-1/2". Bike seat is too wide!! Lastly, I have to change the batteries frequently.

Very impressed with this bike! – I have been looking for a good exercise bike for quite a while now. I didn't want to spend alot but wanted to get something solid and comfortable. I am 59 and have some lower back issues. I was shopping in Aldi and happened to see this bike. After coming home and trying to find reviews on it (I saw a few and they were positive) I decided to go… Read more

back and buy it, and give it a chance. I am so happy and impressed with this bike I can't believe it! It is easy to put together.The seat is extremely comfortable. I am 5'10" and it is easy to pedal. It is quiet, smooth, and has great resistance. I got up to level 4 the first day. Level 8 will take a little building up too! This bike folds very easily and is light enough for me to put in a corner. I would recommend this bike without hesitation.

Excellent beginner level exercise bike – I bought the Crane Exercise Bike from Aldi and was not sure what the quality would be like, but have been pleasantly surprised. The bike was reasonably easy to put together (note you do need two people when putting the handlebars/resistance mechanism together), with clear instructions. The only part that was confusing was when putting the dial on… Read more

for the level of resistance - we put it on back to front initially as the instructions didn't spell it out, but that was soon fixed up.

The bike is very stable when you are riding it, and the magnetic resistance means it is whisper quiet so I can watch tv on normal volume while exercising. The seat is padded and wider than many entry level bikes, so that is a nice comfort feature. There is a drink bottle in easy reaching distance, and the screen is very large with big easy to read numbers for the key information like speed, distance, time, calories etc.

The only negative is that the seat can not be adjusted far enough forwards for me (I am quite short at 5 foot 5) but it probably wouldn't be an issue for most people and I can still ride it, I just wish it went an inch more towards the pedals. It does adjust forwards and backwards though as well as up and down so you can get it where you want it pretty well.

The handlebar padding is really smooth and soft, so my hands don't get sore from leaning on the bars, and there are built in pulse readers although they seem to take forever to get up to the right number so I don't use them.

The bike itself is quite compact and fits in the corner between our two lounges, so you don't need a huge amount of space for it.

I'm really happy with it, and it is well above anything at the equivalent price from the sports stores. For $189 you couldn't do much better.
