So far, best purchase I've made in years!
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024
I've had this bike for 3 days. It arrived fewer than 24 hours after I ordered it, even though I don't have Prime shipping. I've ridden 56 miles. I was pretty much completely sedentary before that. It's AMAZING how easy this makes it to exercise. This would be a major downgrade from a spin class, but it's a major upgrade from sitting like a blob on my couch, which was exactly what I wanted to improve.I already had an adjustable standing desk, but foot pain kept me from using the treadmill I had gotten to walk on at the desk. Plus, I'm honestly not coordinated enough to walk and type very well at all, and it puts me in a weird posture to have to lean over to reach my keys. But sitting on a bike? Pedaling? This I can do! That's what I was looking for in this bike, and it really delivers. It's just recumbent enough that my knees don't come up past horizontal when I pedal, which means I can have the desk low enough to be in good posture for my arms and head.It only took me half an hour to put it together by myself, if you don't count the 5 minutes at the beginning where I ready through the whole manual and set the screws, bolts, and nuts on my desk in the same order as the parts page because I'm "that" person. It wasn't hard at all.I've seriously been sitting at the desk, working on any of a number of things, looked down and realized I've been riding for an hour and a half, have gone 15 miles, and have burned 400 calories! It's unbelievable to me how easy this has made exercising. I'm only in my 30s, but I'm almost at the weight limit for the bike (250 lbs, 5'9")--but I won't be for long if it stays this easy!It's absolutely silent, and while there's resistance, there's no feeling of friction. The seat isn't great, but it's not leaving me saddle sore either. If I lose the weight (my padding), maybe I'll eventually need a softer seat.I can't say enough good things about this bike if you want really easy, mindless exercise instead of sitting still. It's absolutely perfect for my use case. The added bonus of "just enough" resistance in the easily adjustable cable arms is icing on the cake!

Useless Piece of Junk...Missing washers and damaged part
By Stephanie A. on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024
Very upset, and I don't even have it assembled yet. Right out of the box I discovered that three of the nine washers are missing. Then I noticed that the rubber stopper piece inside the main frame of the bike is damaged. The seat post does not fit into the main frame with the broken piece inside. I purchased the Asurion plan for this bike so hopefully (whether it's the seller, or Asurion) someone makes this right...because of now, this bike is a useless piece of junk.

Have had this bike for a week (used it a handful of times) but so far, it's a great bike! Really like the versatile arm workout options and the mechanics are smooth on that part. There's just enough tension to get a good, repetitive workout in and it's easy on the joints. I've had 3 babies in the last 5 years and my body has gone thru a lot of sickness and changes over those years. I don't workout...ever. With 3 kids 5 and under, who has the time?? Ha! I like the bike because it's easier on the knees than running. It can fold up to store easily. I can use the bike during nap time and not wake the kids. The bike also doesn't have an exposed fan/ risky things on it that the kids can't get close to while I'm riding it (and that's great for this anxious mommy!). The pedals are a little small and a bit slippery so if you don't wear shoes, they can make your feet a bit uncomfortable and it's easy for your feet to slip off if you don't position your feet just right. Overall, it's been a good purchase and the price was fair. I'll update this review as time goes on as we use it more. My husband assembled it for me (took him about an hour ish) and it seemed to be fairly easy - at least I didn't notice him getting frustrated during that process haha. I don't regret purchasing this bike. It's cheaper than a gym membership, I can exercise when it's convenient for me, the kids won't get hurt if they're in the room with me while I'm exercising, it can fold up and store (even has wheels to roll it once folded), and it's quiet. So far, so good!
AMAZING 😍😍😍 --- Really helps with getting activity in when working at home!

This thing WOW! Easy to assemble - I left off the arm attachments simply because I don't need them but this has been amazing for getting more movement in when I'm sitting at home working on my laptop! Two of my colleagues also purchased this bike after I showed them pics and how comfortable it was to use for several hours a day!One thing - the seat is very firm (as any cycle bike seat would be) I highly recommend grabbing a seat cushion like I have on mine in the photo --- with the cushion I can literally bike on this for 3+ hrs a day without my butt going numb lol!GET IT - use it when working or watching TV......so worth it and a solid build!
Great exercise machine!

I really like this bike, but I did not receive the workout guide, so I am trying to get one from the company. I was going to buy the Slim Cycle but this one is more versatile, and it's less expensive. I love that all of the tools needed for assembly are included. It's a two person job though, especially for screwing on the backrest and the piece with the resistance cords. I had trouble getting the display thing to go on and stay up, but my daughter suggested taking off the screw and she held the display up while I screwed the holder back in and that worked. It would have been nice if it came with the 2 AA batteries that it needed, but we always have batteries so we were okay. I tried it out and it was very comfortable. I'm newly diabetic and I want to get off of my meds and lose about 50 lbs, so I have to put in the effort. The video clip on here helped me make my decision to buy it. I think that my mom will also enjoy using it. I love that the bands can be moved to work so many parts of my arms while I am peddling. I am so excited about this machine.
Exactly what I needed

So far, so good. Was fairly easy to put together. I can see how the instructions could be challenging if you're not used to doing this kind of thing.My seat did come with some weird white stuff on the edge like others had mentioned. I think it's from the packaging materials. A little scrubbing with a wet wipe took it off.I'm 5'4 and 210 lbs. The bike is the right height for me on the second lowest hole. The seat is pretty comfortable so far and the whole thing seems sturdy enough. I'm using it at my standing desk for work and it's perfect. Quiet operation so far.I will not be using the resistance bands. They seem to be lower quality than the rest of the bike, but probably still fine... just not what i bought this for. You could potentially skip putting those arms on the bike if you're not going to use them.

Not the smoothest

Works fine, but does have an annoying clicking when left pedal gets to the bottom, seems to be inside the mechanism. This does cause a bit of a catching feeling. This started less than a week after use. You get what you pay for I guess.
Nice machine!

Love this! It's sturdy, the size not to big so it doesn't take up alot of space. The wheels make it super easy to move around and it burns calories easily! I havnt needed to fold it, aside from the arms so that's not bad. It was super easy to assemble as well!
I use it with a standup desk/adjustable desk
