Any decent indoor bike recommendations?

Hey

So I really miss cycling but having a young child I havent cycled for years. But I really really do miss it. As he cant cycle and I dont have a bike I am looking to get one at home. Been looking at spin bikes but my budget is probably around £200 maximum. But I understand this will only probably get me a flywheel around 13kg and its recommended to have one at least 16kg or more. Looking at a spin bike as its a class I absolutely used to love at the gym and feel they are better than a normal bike.
However I really am open to options. I dont have masses of space but will be able to make space for a bike in my bedroom.

Any recommendations will be welcome on any type of indoor bike.

Thanks

I bought a JLL spin bike for just over £300 on amazon, it has a 20kg fly wheel. From amazon. That, with Les mills on demand, and I’m actually thinking about cancelling my gym membership.
I know that’s more than your budget, but if you can borrow, or consider using a credit card, it would be worth spending the extra. So easy to fit in a 30 minute sprint class, with the kids at home. End up dripping with sweat.

This is why i want to get something at home. My little one is active but not enough and I wouldn't expect him to be. I used to love spin as I felt it was an all over workout.
I do worry about space though as I dont really have space. It will be a case of losing the ottoman for somewhere to put it. We only have a small house

The one I have is pretty compact. I have it So the base is about 6 inches from the wall, if that. And that’s plenty of space for me to use it. But sits fairly discretely at the side of the room.
I did a bit of googling and found a few recommendations for the JLL, at that sort of budget. Im using it at least 4 times a week and can’t see myself getting bored of it anytime soon. I really recommend it.
