Overview

As a recumbent exercise bike, this model has a unique seating shape that is more similar to sitting in a chair than perching on a regular bicycle seat. Moreover, recumbent seats have a backrest and allow people to sit closer to the floor while pedaling, which can be a plus for people with mobility or balance limits. The highly rated Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bike includes Bluetooth connectivity, flexible routines and optional “Explore the World” cycling apps that takes your ride on the road virtually. The frame itself is relatively solid and easy to assemble with its single-piece frame and sturdy platform. The seat bottom is arguably what makes this bike so grand, and it’s padded with a vented back, allowing you to feel comfortable working out and keep cool.

Unlike any other bike on this list, the Rogue Echo Bike’s is what’s known as an air bike, popular with CrossFit enthusiasts. The arm handles – which you pump as you would an elliptical – and pedals are connected to a large fan in the front frame, providing wind resistance. That also helps the bike serves as a full-body workout. However, you’ll be able to do this at whatever speed and pace is most convenient. The seat is adjustable but relatively close to the floor. The screen is 6.3” x 6.3” and features your metrics along with the ability to customize, create, or select workouts. The screen itself needs two AA batteries.
