Amazon has cut the price of its top-selling exercise bike, offering it for less than half price just in time for the autumn and winter months. The Chaoke Stationary Bike’s price has been slashed from £249.99 to £159.99, a saving of over £90.
The bike comes with a smart display that monitors speed, distance, time, and calories burned. According to the brand, it features a magnetic resistance system that is 50% quieter than a standard bike.
It has resistance to cater to all skill levels, as well as adjustable pedals and handlebars, and can accommodate users up to 160kg or 25 stone.
This offer from Amazon makes this bike a more affordable alternative to several other models, especially the popular Peloton brand, where the Peloton bike is priced at a staggering £1,599 by comparison. Even at Currys, the cheapest exercise bike is the New Image Slim Cycle, which costs £199.
However, there are even more budget-friendly options available on the high street, reports Chronicle Live.
For instance, the most affordable option at Argos is the Opti Folding magnetic exercise bike, priced at £99. Meanwhile, Decathlon offers the Viavito Onyx folding exercise bike for £109.
Both models are perfect for households with limited space due to their folding designs. Decathlon is also selling the HomeFitnessCode magnetic exercise bike for the same discounted price of £109.99, down from £199.99, in its end-of-summer sale.
Over on Amazon, boasting more than 1,000 customer reviews, the Chaoke stationary bike has secured an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of five stars. As the weather starts to turn chilly, an exercise bike presents the perfect solution for maintaining fitness levels throughout the autumn and winter periods without needing to venture outdoors.

One customer gushed: « Excellent bike. I’m disabled with health issues and this bike has been such a help. It’s so easy to get on to and comfy when seated. Good back rest and adjustments for leg length. »
Another buyer commented: « As someone who’s spent years working as a trainer with all sorts of exercise bikes, I reckon this model is absolutely spot-on for home workouts. The resistance feels properly smooth, and the saddle – much to my surprise – is actually quite comfy. »
A third purchaser reported: « I have had this spin bike for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed with its performance and build quality, much better than my previous bike. The frame feels incredibly sturdy and solid, providing a smooth and stable ride even during workouts. »
One satisfied customer wrote: « Absolutely love this bike! It was easy to set up, feels really solid, and is completely silent during workouts. Feels just like a gym bike. I highly recommend for home use and the ease of weight loss or general fitness at home. »
However, despite 81% of Amazon customers awarding the bike a full five-star rating, some felt it could be improved. One disgruntled user complained: « Works good but the seat is very uncomfortable after only five minutes. »
Another reviewer noted: « The bike becomes wobbly after frequent use and starts making squeaking noises when the resistance level is increased. »
