A really good home workout
I've been a fitness enthusiast for years. I've owned this bike for a month now, and have used it almost daily. This bike is perfect for my apartment. It has a wide range of resistance that easily adjusts for interval training. It's light weight (60 lbs) makes it easily movable and it takes up very little space. It's smooth action makes it a pleasure to ride. And I'm getting a really good workout on it in the comfort of my own home. I'm a very sweaty (ewe) but happy customer!

This bike is wobbly. My son is 90 pounds and when he pedals the bottom bar rocks. The seat also wobbles. The frame has multiple dents and scrapes as well as what looks like dirt between the two pieces of the plastic body.

    Unhappy
    Package arrived damaged. the recumbant bike was also damaged. We fixed it the best we could. Knowing it would probably happen again if reshipped. I think I should get a refund of some of the money. Looks very used and beat up. Here are a few pictures of the bike damage.

    Best recumbent for the price
    Took about 1 hour to set up.but worth the time .this recumbent is great for me and my husband. .Easy to adjust the tension as well as to adjust the seat. The only down fall i have about it is that you have to remove battery to reset .

    Doesn't meet ratings I read before purchase
    Took over 3 weeks to get here main unit is flimsy plastic and damaged didn't think would matter so continued to put together. Seat bracket was bent slightly. No screws to put monitor on. They are supposed to be in the back of monitor...just empty holes there. There was no damage to the box and contents were well packed. 2 hours putting together now don't know what to do...

    Belt not on correctly
    After getting the bike assembled, which was not as easy as other reviews state, there was a grinding noise. We took the bike completely apart and found the belt was not on correctly. It took FOREVER to get it back on. After fixing that there was an issue with the tension cable. After working on this bike for a while it is finally usable. The price is fair, but its not worth much money in my opinion. Spend a little more on a better bike. The overall look of it is good but it doesn't function properly.

    Be prepared to forge the bolts.
    This is probably the least assembled item I've ever seen. I almost threw the whole thing away after I finally opened the box. Give me a break. I want the corporate buyer to come put it together. They obviously didn't do their research and likely need a new job.

    Great product ONCE you get it put together
    All the pieces were present and in good condition. However when you get to the connecting of the computer and the other piece, the directions DO NOT tell you how to loosen the screw to make it fit. Luckily I found a great step by step video on YouTube. Very frustrating when directions skip a step. The product is great and pretty durable thus far. I use daily and ride 8-10 miles. The price was great and even better when the product actually does what it says. I also bought a rubber mat to go under. Definitely recommend. Im 48, with 2 herniated discs and bad knees and I love it! No issues for me

    Even nicer than I expected!
    This just came today and am thrilled with it! I don't really use the monitor, I compared it to my apple watch workout, and as another person said, I think the calories burned is way off. The time is pretty close. I love the quietness! I rode 30 minutes on level 2. No leg burn, but some bum pains! Seat and back are wonderful, no problems after 30 minutes on it. I love how I was able to roll it from the living room where I assembled it, into the bedroom where it will stay. I THINK I will be able to play Animal Crossing on my switch at the same time, to make the time go by faster. Either way....I AM EXERCISING!!

    Easy peasy
    Very easy assembly (although required assistance for two steps - needed extra set of hands). Smooth operation. Very quiet.

    An Excellent Exercise Bike
    I love my new exercise bike. I previously had a small motorized activcycle and used it for the last year however I needed something that had more tension and a seat and back. I use this at different times during the day and night probably never exceeding any lengthy periods of time. I mainly use it for exercising my knees as I am not looking to lose weight. I am a 78 senior female and this is exactly what I wanted and hoped for. I even put it together which was very easy as I watched a youtube video and in less than 2 hours I was on it and peddling away. Plus I put it directly in front of my 60" TV so I could watch my TV programs while I peddle. The price was great as well as shipping quickly. The unpacking of the items took up most of the time as each piece was very carefully packaged. I am 5'9" tall and weigh approximately 210 (overweight, LOL) and it fits me perfectly. The only problem I had was getting it to the right length to fit my body. Once I got that fixed, it was perfect. I would highly recommend this exercise bike.

    Perfect for exercise
    I bought this and was presently surprised at the durability for the price. I put it together by myself and it took a little over an hour. Already used it and works fantastic. I would definitely recommend this product.

    The box was Damaged
    The box was Damaged The bike had a large dent in front, too much working to carry it back so I'll keep it as is. It did not effect the usages of it. But I will check for damage the next time before I leave the store.
