The Trade-Off of a Foldable Frame

The pooboo folds down when you are done. That is the main reason to buy it. For riders in apartments, shared living rooms, or rooms that double as offices, the ability to fold the bike and roll it out of the way after a session is worth more than a slightly heavier flywheel.

The 6.6-pound flywheel is lighter than full-size bikes, which means the pedal stroke feels less smooth at lower resistance settings. At mid to high resistance levels the difference is less noticeable. Feedback is strong across a large number of buyers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact folded footprint for storage in tight spaces
  • Back support cushion included for upright comfort
  • Quiet magnetic resistance with no pad maintenance

Cons

  • Lighter flywheel gives less smooth momentum than full-size bikes
  • Less stable than non-folding frames at high resistance

Bottom Line

Buy the pooboo Folding Exercise Bike if space is your primary constraint. It is the best foldable pick in this category with the highest ratings among compact bikes.
