I'm 5'1, with ADHD and my manual abilities are the worst (I'm good with math and languages). It wasn't too hard to assemble this, especially alone with a 5 year old running around. But I didn't want to wait. So I did. The manual is not very helpful... so take a look but don't get too dependent on it. The picture of the bike and some common sense helped more than the instruction guide. I bought extra padding for the seat, plus a couple of shorts with another layer of padding... So, I find it tolerable for someone not used to exercise on bikes. I wish it was a bit smaller for my height, but I use all adjustments to the smaller possible and I exercise just fine.
PS. getting out of the box alone was harder than assembling the entire bike. Too many tapes, very tight, hard to cut the box, the plastic rings were very thick and I smashed my finger using scissors (I have a black hematoma now).

I really appreciate all the reviews for this one. Set up was very easy - I'm a small-ish woman and was able to do it myself (I unboxed the parts and was able to carry to basement alone). Took about 30 minutes in all.

The seat is more comfortable than a regular bike seat. I really disliked how the pedals came out of the box but thankfully the strap came right off and the awkward plastic top pieces unscrewed with the Allen wrench.

Overall, I'm totally pleased with the product and it was a great value (on sale for under $200!)

I just bought the bike and have only used it once. It is very quiet and easy to use. I didn't expect to get such a fancy bike for the price but it is well priced. It actually came one week earlier than expected which was nice but make sure you budget about an hour to put together. The bike gives you a good workout for beginners and even using the lowest setting. It feels sturdy and well made.

My seat was crooked when I got it and I was not able to adjust it (see below, I am not strong) but DMASUN customer service (Nancy) was responsive within 24 hours and within 36 hours, I was being shipped a new bike seat without any hassle or push back. So if you are concerned with questions, don't worry, they will support you and be courteous about it. Personally, I hope I get Nancy again but they are all probably great.

And yes - the seat is hard and uncomfortable. Get some type of bike cushion because it will hurt if you don't. It's should not be a deal breaker in my opinion.

For people who are not that strong, this is heavy and I was grateful Amazon took it up to my apartment on the second floor. And the main piece is the heavy part. You cannot disassemble it and take it in pieces to your home easily. The wheels aren't the greatest feature to get it from one area to the next. MANY of the parts/screws are on the bike itself. They are not numbered which is confusing at first, but they are not flopping around the box which is handy.
I took off the water bottle holder because it got in the way of me getting on and off the bike, not a big deal since I have a shelf near me.
The screen on this version is fine but the "ipad holder" is incredible thin to the point where you almost cannot use it if you have anything thicker than that but it held my phone just fine.
I have seen reviews about the handlebars being non-adjustable but I was able to sit upright when I needed to without issues balancing and I have no coordination :)
You do need to wear shoes when riding. You also need to be aware it is higher up so you have to step on and up. Not like other bikes, when you step across. It is a true spin bike in that aspect.

This bike is great! It has a very smooth ride. However we did continue to hear a clicking sound. I reached out to customer service and they were amazing! Very promptly, customer service gave me help. They were so kind and courteous and wanted to resolve the issue. They helped to repair/resolve any defects with the bike. To me... customer service makes all the difference. I would definitely buy from this company again.

Went together beautifully & even came with the simple tools to do it with! Love that I can start out at a low level of pressure and build up as I get stronger. Knees are already doing better after just a week of pedalling away while watching tv series!
