   I’m not gonna take a lot of your time on this because a good review does it quickly.

   The skinny – I’m fat. Too fat for this thing according to the specs (300 lbs.). So, will it crumble under my weight? I don’t think so because it just has that feeling of quality. Assembly was a bit mysterious due to a manual with sparse instructions. Careful for things that are pre-assembled and then have to be disassembled during assembly – it’s a bit deceptive. Anyway, the short about this beast is that my wife and I (6′3″) both use it, it has that huge amount of seat adjustment. Enjoy.

   This is a really nice bike. I was skeptical about spending so much for a recumbent bike, but it’s worth the money. It’s very quiet, well made, and has a lot of nice user features. For people with back problems, this is a good investment. I bought it because I have back problems and am unable to do other kinds of cardio, but this gives me a good cardio workout without causing me any pain. It did take a while to assemble, but we didn’t have any problems.

   Excellent bike, very comfortable seat, even after a long ride there’s no stiffness in your back or bottom. This is important because at gym bikes similiar to this after 30 minutes i’ve felt this numbness where there was pressure the whole time on your back, bottom or both.

   Easy to assemble, takes awhile though. Good instructions.

   This is absolutely silent while in use, while you’re peddling you can watch tv and not even need the sound turned up. I really am amazed, now you can exercise without bothering others in the room or in the house. Late at night for example.

   Very well packaged, with amazon prime it was less then 5 dollars for next day overnight shipping, how in the world do you do that?

   Cons:

   Display is not really intuitive. It should not be this complicated to get setup. You have to read the manual to figure it out. The type at the gym is just get on and go, press quick start, not this one. Is that expecting too much?

   Also the display has a lot of areas lit up that isn’t displaying information, meaning the areas that are displaying information “bleed” over into the other areas. Being a color lcd has no effect or cool factor on the information so its a waste of money.

   Overall very happy and amazed, little bit of a let down with the screen but still functional and the great points make up for the few nit picky things.

   I purchased this product after some research on the web including Amazon reviews. I received the bike within 10 days of the order in good shape. Since I am not handy, I paid my regular handyman to assemble the bike for me who did it in 2 hours. I am very satisfied with the bike’s performance so far.

   My family made fun of me for ordering my Schwinn 240 Recumbent Bike, but now they are all using it too! It’s exactly what I wanted.
