Before shopping for any exercise bike, it is important to be clear about your training goals. How often you will be using it and what level of training intensity you will reach. Most of the time people overestimate their athletic ability and think that they can easily accomplish the training programme they imagine. This blind self-confidence leads them to choose the most expensive race bikes or other exercise bikes, but in reality they don't take full advantage of what these high-end models are supposed to do, and even end up with wasteful idleness.
But when picking one, it is important to remember that no matter how much money you spend and what model you buy, there are certain features that are essential for all exercise bikes. For example, a system that allows you to adjust the resistance, and the seat cushion must be comfortable enough because it takes quite a bit of time to exercise on it. Also, if your body type is not what is usually referred to as standard, you need to choose a model with an adjustable seat position.
If you have settled on a particular model just because the seat is not comfortable, you can also consider buying a separate seat cover with silicone or upholstery padding to go with it. Comfort is the primary consideration, regardless of budget. The footrests don't have to be very wide, but they need to have some kind of retention to ensure that your feet don't slip off when exercising. The standard electronic watch needs to include basic features such as speed, time and calories.
