It may seem tough to believe, but for most people in the buying stage, there are more exercise bikes to choose from then there are automobiles.
That means buying a lower-cost exercise bike is more difficult than buying a car! And the process seems unnecessarily complicated.
To make the process of buying an exercise bike a little easier, we will look at three important questions the buyer should answer before getting their credit card or cash out to make their purchase.
While some of them seem overly simplistic, they are often overlooked during the buying process, leaving the user dissatisfied or outright disappointed with their purchase.
1.
How much are you willing to spend? Seems like a simple, straightforward question, but many people have no idea what they want to spend on a bike.
Whether it is $200 or $2000, there will always be a more expensive bike with more bells and whistles than the one that fits in your budget.
Therefore, setting a budget and sticking to it will help to narrow the field to a level that one is most comfortable with.
Again, a simple question but one that few people answer until they have seen all of the possible options.
2.
Who will use the bike? Another seemingly simple question, but it is important to know before you start shopping who will use the bike and for what purpose.
If the bike will become your sole "baby," then getting a lower end unit will often suit all of your needs and then some.
However, if the bike is a joint purchase that will be equally shared among two or more people, it may make more sense to spend a little more for an exercise bike that will accommodate multiple users and offer multiple, present programs that will satisfy everyone who will use it.
3.
What is your fitness level (or the highest fitness level of the many users who will use this bike)? People who are just starting out will probably do fine with an entry level bike, allowing them to save a few bucks for a few years until they graduate to a more hard-core bike (assuming they do not change to a different exercise machine in the first place).
Ultimately in the case of multiple users, picking a bike that will suit the most advanced users will be enough to satisfy the beginners as well.
Knowing the answers to these questions will make the process of buying a new exercise bike a lot easier on everyone involved in the purchase.
Knowing who will use the bike, their fitness level and, of course the maximum budget allow for the purchase will simplify the process greatly.
