Home bike for me and my mom

Looking for a good exercise bike under €200 for me and my mum
Hey everyone! I'm looking to buy a stationary bike tor myself and my mum, and I'd appreciate some advice from people who have actually used these bikes.
I'm 179 cm tall and my mum is 165 cm and 58 years old, so it needs to be comfortable for both of us.
We'd mainly use it for light to moderate cardio while watching TV or movies. I go to gym and ride a bike a lot, so a workout at home would be a fine choice on this bike too. For my mom, just regular pedalling so she can have some easy workout when she is watching a movie.
I have a budget of around €200. I'd prefer a regular, sturdy bike rather than a folding one, since we have enough space tor it.
My mum had cervical disc surgery about two years ago, so a comfortable, upright riding position with good adjustability is important. We'll check with her physiotherapist to make sure it's suitable for her.
I've been looking at the ZIPRO Modo, but I'm not sure whether it's actually any good in terms of build quality and long-term reliability.
What would you recommend in this price range? Is the ZIPRO Modo worth buying, or are there better alternatives? I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who have owned their bikes for a while.
Thanks!
