My bike came and was easy to assemble, except for the Power cord to the meter. There is no place on to plug it in! I am typing this review from the bike right now, but can't tell how long i've been pedaling and all of that good stuff. Please help! That was one part of the bike I was really looking forward to. I wish I didn't get a defective bike because I would have given this 5 stars!!

Wanted to like it... Unfortunately after 3 days it started making a clanking noise with each pedal stroke. From other comments it looks like more than a few people have had the issue. The concept is great, but maybe their QC is lacking. I would love to have kept it because it is portable, takes minimal space, has a good laptop desk, and very importantly gets me moving instead of just sitting on my desk .. but I am going to have to return it.

This item is sturdier than I imaged it being. Good value.

This is good for working on your computer. The seat is very hard and you can't seem to find a replacement seat. If you add a cushion, it is ok. I do like that the workspace is easily adjusted. My wife uses this twice a day and seems very satisfied. I use it less because I prefer free weights. I searched and searched for something that I could use while I was working on my computer and this seems the be the best design so far.

I really like my bike and am going to break down my feedback, believing that we have to keep expecttations realistic to what we pay:
The BEAUTY:
- It is quiet- can ride in the middle of the night if I want

The good
- for the price, you get a decent quality stationary bike that also offers a desk to work on. That is what you get.
- 5-6 adjustment points: the seat height, the desk height and anterior-posterior position, the tension of the peddles, the height of the stirrup.
- it is compact and foldable
- it has a monitor showing calories, time, speed, distance, odometer
- is overall sturdier than looks
- decent quality that will take the work out (despite the review on the hour limit, I think if you are within 300 pounds (as instructed on the bike) you can keep going for a while)
- the seat is fairly wide- wider than other upright bikes
- has a back cusion

The bad:
- the adjustment knobs for the desk position and peddle tension are less than sturdy-- feel like they may come off or break
- the desk at the highest position is a bit too low (with the chair at the lowest
- the angle of the desk cannot be adjusted (I wish it could be). When in the closest position, it is too slant.
- the seat, despite cushioning, is hard to sit on. The company does not offer a seat cushion cover or replacement that I can use. This will be a hard one to fix.
- the assembly instructions were OK- took me a couple of hours (as opposed to some reviews indicating 15 minutes) and I am pretty good at assembling stuff.

The UGLY:
- the packaging was a nightmare:
. the box was smashed and crushed at first glance
. the box was closed with two tapes on two sides and a poly stripe around the width of the box. It was not sealed all around, so things could easily fall out of it (and had been)
. the pieces were individually semi-wrapped and thrown in the box and moving around.
. the nuts and bolts were free and open inside. I had to fish them out of the plastic covers and around the crevices of the smashed box.
. as suspected, a few of the screws and nuts were missing.
- the delivery took 1 week. It was handed to UPS ground (3-5 day delivery) 48 hours after I placed the order. So much for the 2 day delivery promised by amazon. After spending 1.5 hours on the phone with UPS and Amazon, they gave me 15% credit for the inconvenience, though.

Given the delivery nightmare, I decided to buy the missing screws from Home Depot, but they did not have the arc washer. So I will try to find those in a local bike repair shops. That being said, fortunately I could spare a non-weight bearing, non-moving area to screw without the piece.

Hope this helps.
