It was easy enough to set up I guess. It works OK, just know it doesn't come with batteries for the little monitor. My chief complaints are It makes a clicking sound when used, caused by the washers/screws on the seat not wanting to be tight, and worse, the left pedal came off twice, and now it > refuses to go all the way back into it's socket, which I am very unhappy about. Other than that I like it, I just hope this pedal will not be more of an issue, as I have had it only 3 days and this is a $100+ purchase. It is quite heavy for women to move--about 40 lbs.

Arrived boxed and well protected with all parts included. Assembly took about 45 minutes not complicated even if you're not handy using tools. Rolls easily and folds for storage, takes up very little space, light weight to move around. Mount on handlebars holds my iPad steady and secure. Speed adjustment dial easily adjust effort from 1-8 setting. Modes clearly displayed, found heart rate monitor fairly close to my pulse rate at my wrist. The only thing I advise is that I am 5'9"" tall and with seat elevated to highest level I don't get full extension of legs. If you're taller probably consider this. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I wanted an old school exercise bike. I go for 30-40 mile bike rides on the weekends and my main question was whether this would provide enough resistance. Happy with the ride and now can happily cycle away while playing Wordle and Spelling Bee before work.

This is a review of the model that doesn't have the recumbent option and resistance bands and has the regular size seat (ie, not extra large).

This is a well-made bike and was very easy to assemble. The seat is comfortable. I'm quite large and didn't have a problem with it. You could get a gel cover if you wanted more cushion. The bike is stable, completely silent and rides smoothly. Folds up effortlessly and rolls easily. Seems like it would last well if you use it properly and don't try to use it like a heavy duty stationary bike.

Unfortunately, my particular bike was defective and had to be returned.
1) The right pedal only screwed in halfway at the most. The left pedal went in all the way. (I understand the different directions for each pedal).

2) The pictures and description said it folds up so that the bottom bars are 6.7" apart. Mine folded up to over a foot apart.

3) The handlebar stem attached unevenly. One side went in about half a centimeter less, so the handlebars were uneven. Not a huge deal if this were the only problem.

It looks like mine was the last one in stock, so maybe I got the one with all the defects. I also noticed there are 2 different variations of the same bike, so maybe the one I got is an older one that's been replaced. Mine had a handlebar stem that had to be attached. The other variation doesn't.

I returned it and purchased another on their website. The pictures show the newer variation. It was also less expensive. I paid $139.99 + tax on Amazon. Their website has it for $125.99 and no tax along with a 5% discount for a first time order (also free shipping). I haven't received it yet but hope I get a good one.

I'd give it 5 stars if not for the above issues.

This is a very good quality exercise bike. The assembly was easy and took less than an hour to complete. It is sturdy and well made and works great. It folds up for easy storage. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a good exercise bike.
