I hunted for days, read what felt like endless reviews, mostly the bad ones, and decided on this. All of the parts were there and it was easy for me to put together by myself. The only thing I could detect that might make me miserable was the plastic coated seats which I knew about before purchase. Too sweaty and hot, but I was willing to overlook that if it worked. It's also whisper quiet which is nice. So, I get it together and get on to adjust the seat, I started to pedal and it was far too easy for me so I looked down to adjust it thinking it was at the lowest level and it wasn't. It was at the HIGHEST. I kept pedaling thinking it would get more difficult the longer I pedaled. It didn't. I have had bikes like these in the past, with dial resistance, but have never had a problem like this before. With tension up to 16, I thought I would be set. That 16 would be unachieveable, but I just rode for 45 minutes and barely broke a sweat. It's not like I'm going to take it apart and tetris back into the box. That's next to impossible. I'm going to try to reach out to the company, but I'm not holding out hope there. The reviews mentioned a lot of difficulty getting help for any issues. If I have a favorable result with customer service, I will edit my review.

May 15th edit - This bike was not for me, I gave it to my husband who is not as cardio conscious as I am, They sent me a refurbished bike, that looked brand new and has much better resistance for me, within a week of our first communication. When I had a problem with a part on the new one, they sent me replacement parts right away. All in all, I am thrilled with my experience with this company and happy with my new bike so far.

I bought this bike in April 2022, and so far it has taken from 330lbs down to 220lbs over several thousand miles. I've only needed to change the batteries twice in that time, too.

It has two wheels so you can lift up an end and roll it, but it's also light enough to just pick up and move across the room, which is nice if you just don't want to risk scratching your wood floors like me.

I'm 6'1", and it is a tiiiiny bit too small for my preference - I'd love if I could move the seat back just another inch, but it's not uncomfortable as is. I just can't quite fully extend my legs.

I had an issue once where the screen stopped working, even with new batteries, but it was a simple fix of just unplugging and reconnecting the cables. Given how easy the bike was to put together, this was a 2 minute repair with a screwdriver.

The seat has squished down a bit over the months and sometimes gets a bit uncomfortable on extended rides. I haven't looked to see if there's a way to restuff it, but it doesn't look like Vanswe sells replacement seats. Admittedly, I haven't actually reached out to them directly, so I could be wrong.

Overall, I am VERY satisfied with this exercise bike and still using it almost every day. With any luck, this thing will continue to carry me down another 40lbs!

Bought for hubby to use after stroke, to try to regain some strength in his left side. He uses every day and is comfortable spending an hour each day, cudos on the seat design. Only drawback for me is getting him on and off as it isn't too stable when you grab the front bar, but that's just in our position, would most likely not be a problem for mobile people.

When I assembled this bike which I will say was one of the easiest I've ever done and I've done several over the years. Unfortunately something must've happened in transit as the noise it made when peddling was unacceptable. I sent a video to the seller and they immediately sent a new chassis. I will update this review when I receive it and try it!

Latest update! Again I say 5 starsr for this company's customer service!! When the replacement bike came it too had some damage and they immediately refunded my money and declined having it returned! I was able to hammer out some of the dents and piece together a bike that works perfectly. Certainly I would recommend this company and purchase!!

I have just unboxed and assembled it. It's good to have a scissors or box cutter in addition to what comes with it. As a senior who is handy, mechanically inclined, but weak, assembly after unboxing took me an hour and 15 mins. The instructions were good enough (I'd grade them a C+) and the nuts, bolts, etc. are either preassembled or in the well organized blister pack. The included tools were a bit difficult but working slow and steady got the job done. Everything works, though the seat was awkward to adjust. The seat is comfortable and at 5'5" I could easily reach everything. I hope to use the bike to strengthen my legs as arthritis is now affecting my hips. My orthopedist said to stop walking and either bike or swim.
