"This bike was fairly easy for 2 people to put together. It took about an hour after sorting parts. The bike is very quiet and works as it should. The computer is very basic and will not tell you much as far as statistics go. The base is not super stable, but if you just want a simple machine to work out on with minimal features to go wrong, this is for you. We have only been using this for a few weeks, so we will see how it holds up in the future."

Great value for the money!, May 2, 2008

"I ordered this bike for my wife, who is rehabilitating after back surgery, and myself. The box arrived in a timely manner and in perfect condition. All the hardware was there and even included the two tools you need to put the bike together, although I did have to use a piece of coat hanger with a hook on the end to "fish" some of the wires out of the front post. Total time for assembly was about forty five minutes. I'm not a light-weight but I found the bike to be very sturdy. The seat to pedal distance can be easily adjusted for any leg length. The only less than ideal feature of this bike is that the resistance knob goes up to a setting of only 8. I started using it at a setting of 6. This is a good quality bike and I expect my wife and I will get many years use out of it. I would recommend it."

Good value, April 29, 2008

Appearance: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Durability: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5
Workmanship: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

"Overall, this bike is a good value. It's not as fancy as something you might find in a gym, but it does the job just fine. The wiring is a bit tricky to get connected and you have to stand up to move the seat (it doesn't just slide back like some more expensive models would). Overall, I'd recommend this bike for somebody looking for a good value for their home gym."

Good compact bike for the money, April 28, 2008

"The bike took about 2 hours to put together, but the tools they provided were not useful and the parts were all in one bad, making deciphering which product to use a little difficult.
The bike is very compact and fits nicely in my living room. Very easy to use. Very quiet other then the strange ticking noise in the right pedal area. For the price I would definitely recommend it.

"I searched several sites and reviews looking for a recumbent bike that would not require a home equity loan. I love this bike. It is comfortable and very quiet which is important for someone who hates indoor exercise because it is so boring! I am able to watch (and hear) tv while riding so my mind is occupied. It is smooth enough that I was also able to read a book while pedaling! The only issue I had was in the assembly process. Make sure to read the directions first as there are steps missing so I had to back track a couple of times. Other than that, I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend this product."

Recumbent Stationary Bike, April 26, 2008
By NoneGiven from Hot Springs, AR

"This bike is excellent for fitness in the home. It is very quiet and comfortable - the seat could use extra padding but is sufficient. I needed the bike for exercise strengthening my ankles after breaking both last fall and earlier neck surgery. Ease in assembly was no problem except for the cable for tension. There is a crossbar inside the channel that feeds the computer connector wires for some reason and passing that required weighting the lightweight connector wires through the shaft to the computer part. I taped one of the screws to a fabric band and dropped it through the shaft. Thankfully, there were no missing screws, either! It took less than an hour to assemble. The bike is smaller than most stationary bikes so it doesn't crowd my bedroom where I set it up. Great value all around! I have recommended it to friends already!!"

"I bought this bike about a month ago. The packaging was fine, no problems with FedEx delivery. Can't beat Overstock shipping price for this!! I didn't find this bike to be too heavy, carried it upstairs myself and put it together myself in about 1 1/2 hours. No issues with craftsmanship at all. No problem with direction confusion thanks to reading other reviews (Thanks for that!)
As for using it, I find it comfortable, quiet and easy to adjust. Very easy on and off due to design, almost petite compared to some I've seen and that's fine with me as it makes keeping it in my bedroom a nonissue. I find you have to squeeze it pretty tightly for heartrate to function properly. If I have a complaint, the resistance is a bit easy. I am not it great shape but found myself using level 5 immediately. Now I'm on 7. As I improve, I wonder if 9 will be enough, but this is a very good bike for the money and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't need really high resistance to get a work out.

"I bought this bike for a rehab gym for elders and disabled adults. When our old bike broke down, it was a disaster since we need equipment and have little resources. I took a chance and ordered this bike from Overstock and could not be more pleased. It was easy to assemble and we put it work right away. It's surprising durable and very comfortable. The only downside is that the seat can be adjusted forward and back, but not up and down. Overall, a great purchase and I would recommend for anyone."

"I had been looking at recumbent bikes and shopping around and figured I'd give overstock a look. Good reviews and the pay-pal op[tion are what sold me. It arrived less than a week later and I was really pleasently surprised... easier to assemble and a much better product than others I had looked at elsewhere for twice the price.Took about 80 to 90 minutes to put together. The tools that are provided for assembly are not much but good enough to get the job done and kept me from digging thru the garage looking for mine. I am a big person; my wife is not so the bike gets adjusted after each of us uses it and it is not a problem... fast and easy to adjust."

"This piece of equipment has been used for over a month now with no issues what-so-ever. It came with some assembly required but once you have a few hours to put it together, it is worth it. Just a touch wobbly when you pedal very fast but what home machine doesn't?! I would buy this again and also recommend it to a friend."

Silent and smooth!, February 15, 2008
By Tokenbear from NH

"Assembling
the wiring that goes through the tubing was the hardest part but it
works fine. Takes your pulse rate as you peddle. The seat is
comfortable for leaning back and watching tv while you peddle. I'd
recommend this bike to anyone with knee cartilege problems like mine!

"Loved the idea of having this bike in my house, and am using it every day. . It is so quiet that I almost forget I am riding while watching tv, so I seem to ride mine longer than the one at the gym. I find that if I put a small pillow behind my back the seat gives more support to my back ....Not too bad to put together but they could use more detailed directions"
