Product Description
Stationary cycling is one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises for increasing your metabolism for more efficient calorie and fat burning without the impact on your joints. Choose your own workout intensity with the 8-step adjustable tension control, or use one of the the 6 preset programs: Fat Burn, Maximum Fat Burn, Aerobic, Hill, Interval, or Mountain. The electronic, battery-operated monitor lets you know when you are working within your target heart rate zone, and keeps you motivated during your workout by displaying speed, distance, time, and calories burned. The aero handlebars have built-in pulse sensors take your pulse. The oversized, molded seat is padded and adjustable to fit any size rider.

About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don’t take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

I purchased this bike about one month ago, and I am very pleased with it. I had my boyfriend assemble the bike for me, so I can’t really comment on whether or not it was difficult to put together. I can see how the bike would be difficult to use for people who are shorter. I’m 5’9″ and I had to put the seat down to one of the lowest notches in order to use it comfortably. The only thing that I didn’t like about the bike was that the seat was uncomfortable for the first couple uses. Thankfully, it only took a couple hours of riding to break in the seat.
Overall, it is a very smooth and quiet ride. It’s also very sturdy. That, along with the preset programs and various resistances, gives you a great workout. Of course, there are better bikes out there, but this bike does a great job and can’t be beat for the price.

Since I’ve bought the bike (about a year ago) I’ve gone through two belts on it. The company was good about sending me a free replacement belt, but the design of the bike is flawed. This bike might be ok if you plan on peddling like a slow poke, but if you want any type of workout I’d look elsewhere. I’m looking for a replacement bike now.

The seat is just slightly wobbly at times but still seems stable. Otherwise, it’s a very good buy, quiet and reasonably comfortable but I am 5’6″ and 120 lbs. I can’t say what it would be like if I were a really big person. I would recommend it overall.

I had read reviews about the bike being wobbly, or difficult to put together, or not having the ability to select a display other than scan. The bike I got had very minor shipping damage which does not appear to impair the bike’s performance, or its useful life. The bike’s four floor pads are designed so that if it wobbles, simply rotate the floor pad to eliminate the unwanted movement. The electronics are simple to operate, and yes, you can choose which aspect of your ride you’d like to moniter. (ie. time, distance, calories burned, heart rate, etc.) I am 5’9″ and weigh 240, the bike is a good fit for me and supports me sturdily as I ride. If it weren’t for the shipping damage, the bike would be perfect.
