Getting a cycling machine had always been at the back of my head, and i finally did!
I looked around and chose AIBI Ez Tone cuz i like how it isnt bulky, it's SILENT (magnetic) and very sleek looking. I've always been a sucker for nice packaging. That factor would usually contribute to 60% of my decision-making.
Oh I used to cycle in the gym with level 1 tension and my friends would just look at me with the 'you call that exercising?' face. But i must say this level 1 tension did made me lose significant weight on my thighs. My theory is that it doesn't build muscle, but burns fat and makes you sweat if you cycle at a constant, fast speed. Not scientifically proven but I'm a life example.
The downside of the Ez Tone is that it doesn't come with an option to switch tension. However, I'm perfectly fine with it, i just need that little tension to stick to my theory.
This machine is retailing at S$699, very steep imo. Plus I couldn't find a single review online so I decided to try Gumtree.com to see if i could get lucky. and i did! Bought a second hand Ez Tone for only S$299!
It was almost brand new, scratch free and in this exact gold which happened to match my light gold curtains. lol. I checked and self-collected it in a taxi, it fits nicely into the boot, very fuss free. In case you're wondering, the previous owner (from New Zealand) lives in a nicely renovated condo and because she hardly has time to cycle, she finds it an eye sore to have it sitting in her living room.
Had it for 1.5 months now, sis and i are utilizing it well! On lazy days I'll cycle at a moderate speed and watch TV. When I need a workout I'll paddle fast for about 20mins and I'll be drippin sweat!
NO REGRETS! =D

Dear Ally, I enjoyed reading your review of the EZ tone chair. I also bought one along with a height-adjustable desk (the latter a much pricier affair than even the chair, from a European-style furniture shop in Singapore). Now that I can slowly pedal on the ez tone and do my computer work at the elevated desk, things are good! Not really trying to lose weight but just want to keep my circulation going. The chair is very comfortable and I don't mind that there's no adjustable tension. I bought the lime green one and have no regrets.
