Great price. Not a bunch of extra BS you don't need. Easy to put anywhere. Easy to tuck away when not using if you want. Easy to assemble. Like the heart rate monitor. Very sturdy. It just looks like no BS.If you want to read my babbling on.I bought this because I own an under desk pedaler from Merach. Love the Magnetic Resistance. The price was too good on this to pass it up. I left the gym membership. Got everything at home now. I'm rehabilitating from heart failure, cardiovascular disease, and an amputated left foot. Spent months walking wrong on crutches. Just to make up for the pain in the prosthetic. Close to walking on my own. Working with a physical therapist. Weak hips biggest problem. I mentioned to her about a recumbent bike. All she said was; Yes! This thing works my outer upper legs and inside of knees well. It's what I need. I also have a roller for my regular bike. Gee...I've gotten older. Don't like sitting on that seat for long. This seat is great. I'm very happy with this. Look forward to many workouts on it.

Love this small, inexpensive, simple recumbent bike. Due to arthritis, scoliosis and other back problems, I am unable to walk very far so I needed an affordable piece of exercise equipment that I could use for a few minutes per session several times daily.Here's what I love: 1) it has rollers on the front so I can push it around myself when I want to change locations. 2) it has a simple, easy to use display 3) the display is battery operated so I can set up anywhere - no need to be by a power outlet 4) it was very affordable. 5) whisper quietYes, as others have mentioned, the back and seat cushions could be cushier (easy to adjust to your desire with towels or thin cushions), and the pedal guards aren't the greatest, but for $179, it really is an amazing little piece of equipment.

Ok first - there is a video how to put this bike together. Strongly advise to watch. It went together fairy smooth and easier if have second person.Second- it is a comfortable seat, easy to adjust up and down or forward and back. It is placed on a sold base bar but held on by 4 short bolt screws underneath. I am concerned they will strip out of the seat itself later. Not much to screw into. But can adjust to any height person.Third- pedaling is very smooth and no noise! Making watching tv with family while pedaling a breeze. Can change to fit small or large feet.Looks sharp draws people to want to try it out.The Verdict- I wanted a bike that wasn’t going to break the bank that I could use while recovering from an injury. But I found a bike I love even after I recovered. I definitely think it’s worth the money and I guess we’ll just see how sturdy the chair is as we go.

I've only owned this bike for a few days, so far, I am pleased.I purchased this bike because I am out of shape, overweight, suffered a knee injury and have minimal space. I initially planned to purchase an upright stationary bike but resisted because no seat looked comfortable enough to handle my tush and because I am so out of habit of exercising, sitting up was just not appealing to me. This bike caught my eye and I am so glad that it did!I am 5'7, 300 lbs- I suffer from ailments that chain me to minimal movement for months at a time which has caused an adverse domino effect on my health. I needed something to encourage a healthier me without leaving my home and remaining in the room that is safest for me- my room. My room is a descent size but I own a queen size bed which takes up a lot of space. This bike sits comfortably at the foot of my bed next to a chair with a descent amount of space on either side of the bike and in front of the bike. I'm so sold!I appreciate the fact that I can comfortably lean back while riding and the bars offer more stability. Sitting straight up is uncomfortable at this stage of my getting healthier, ya know. Adjusting the seat according to your height and comfort is simple, as well as controlling the resistance. If you prefer to lean forward while cycling, the bars in front should be comfortable, but honey I have too much fupa for all that right now! The cup holder is a bit of a reach but maybe that's to encourage a consistent workout. I don't know.The display is nice and easy to read and control. The moment you begin peddling, the monitor begins tracking your session. I do not use the app to maintain my sessions as I use my phone or watch to track.This bike is a win, win! Not too long, the resistance settings encourage easy difficulty, it's stable and the peddles are comfortable, even barefoot- but I'm country and enjoy walking outside barefoot! Another plus is the silence. Sometimes when I'm unable to sleep at night, I hope on for a few moments and the session does not disturb my family in other rooms if the house and I can comfortably watch and listen to my television!The assembly.It was not terribly challenging but having a person to help makes the assembly even smoother. I could not for the life of me figure out how to attach the monitor bar with the cord but learned that the cord belonged inside bar. Once I figured that out, it was smooth sailing. All of the hardware including the needed tools are included and easily installed.This is a great investment. Comfortable and fulfills its purpose!

I bought this for rehab following knee replacement and it is perfect for its intended purpose. My husband said it was easy to assemble. The bike has a comfortable seat and is very quiet and smooth. The bike also has adjustable resistance settings. I have been using it for about 5 weeks now and I am very pleased.

My husband had a stroke 2 months ago on Thanksgiving Day. To augment his 2 day a week in-home physical therapy we thought he’d benefit from having a recumbent bike. We’re in a townhome so we knew we didn’t want anything too large. This bike is perfect. It comes in one, somewhat large and heavy box but I was able to drag it in the house on my own. It took me awhile to get it all unpacked, lots of styrofoam needed to be broken off in order to get all the pieces out. But everything was in great condition. I was able to put a few parts together myself using the manual and watching a video on YouTube. It could have done the whole thing eventually as it is pretty straightforward but my son in law came over and helped. The bike is very sturdy and easy to get in and off for my husband. It can be lifted from the back and rolled around easily. My husband’s had a little trouble remembering how to set up the display but with a few more rides I think he’ll get the hang of it. Overall it seems really well built, has a small profile but is fine for his 6 foot frame. I set up the app with my iPad which was super easy and now I’m having fun with it too, monitoring my progress.

Very easy to assemble and mobile if you need to move it around. Very sturdy and easy to adjust the seat for different situations. Downloaded the app as well and pretty neat to use for a workout.

great product i use this every day real quiet great price was easy to put together you will enjoy this

I bought this bike about a month ago and have used it 5 days per week since it arrived. It was easy to assemble, taking my time and following the directions, it took me two about hours. The parts are all fairly substantial, bolts are heavy duty and well machined. There were no issues putting it together. I am in my early seventies and decided, on the advice of a sports medicine doctor, that it would be good exercise for my aging knees. I am six feet tall and find the bike very comfortable with the seat moved back to its furthest position. It also adjusts easily for my much shorter wife. More expensive bikes have more bells and whistles but this one has everything I require. The elapsed time and distance are what I pay most attention to and as I gradually increase the tension, the heart rate monitor will come in handy. Just in passing, the tension adjustment is really simple. So far,I am really pleased with my purchase; the bike is sturdy and whisper quiet and the only unknown will be durability. At this point, I don’t detect any issues that would lead me to believe that it will fail any time soon. If your needs are similar to mine, I have no hesitation in recommending this bike.

Great inexpensive bike. It has a small profile and is easy to move around, but still solid for exercising. I am a 50 year old woman and I put it together myself - only issue was that I didn't have enough strength to pull on the cord for the tension. Otherwise, very east to assemble and is very sturdy to ride on. 8 resistance levels is plenty, regardless of some of the critics.

Overall I’m super pleased with this purchase! It did take a long time for me to receive the item, but after a message to the seller they communicated with Amazon and my package arrived shortly after.Assembly was reasonably easy. I was able to do it by myself over the span of a couple hours. Having a second person would speed things up, but isn’t necessary.The only reason I detracted one star is because of the app. It’s easy to use, but unfortunately completely failed to track some of my workouts. I’m not sure if I need to have the app open the entire time I’m riding(that would be annoying) or if I’ve done something else wrong, but that was disappointing. Additionally, I’ve had to tighten the bolts supporting the seat after just a few rides, so I am a little worried about how it will hold up over time.For the price it’s an excellent entry level bike. It’s a smooth ride, quiet enough to use while my partner sleeps and not bother downstairs neighbors, and has eight levels of resistance (I’ve only used it at 2 yet). Very pleased with my experience and the support I received from the seller!

Purchased to use as a 55 year old who has started with knee pain from arthritis. Pleasantly surprised by this piece of equipment given the low price in comparison to other brands. I put it together myself without issue. Just make sure all is property tightened and it is very sturdy and stable as you use it. It is also very quiet which is great. No bells and whistles on the monitor screen, but do you really need anything more ? No !

Love this recumbent bike! It’s been great for my knee arthritis — super smooth, really quiet, and easy on the joints. Fits perfectly in a smaller space and was a breeze to put together. Totally recommend!
