The I-Bike is a stylish bike suitable for beginners to a fitness program. It's quite a compact bike so if you're short of space it should fit into most spaces. Being a Reebok bike you get the option of a number of different styles including orange, blue and black.There are no pre-set programmes but you do get a fitness test function so you can track your progress. It has a magnetic braking system with manual control that lets you select from ten resistance levels.

You can measure your pulse using the hand grips on the handlebars but there are no heart rate control programmes to optimise your training session that can be found on other bikes in this price bracket.

The action of the pedals was surprisingly smooth and the riding position quite comfortable. However, the resistance control is manual which means you have to twist the knob on the column which is not as easy as pressing a button on the console with electronic control systems such as the Reebok 3 Series bike.

The console itself is very futuristic in style but some of our users found it took a few minutes to get used to the display. It shows you all the usual data such as time, distance, speed and pulse. The buttons themselves are pretty straightforward to use.

The two year warranty is what you'd expect for a bike in this price bracket.

Conclusion:
The I-Bike is a great bike for a particular type of user, that is, someone new to exercise with little space. If this isn't you then Bremshey or York bikes will be a better choice for a similar price.
