The bike was super easy to put together! Probably took me about an hour by myself. I wish the seat was a little longer, but overall I’m quite satisfied with the product. I was looking at the ones with the fans, but when I checked those out at Sports Authority, they really weren’t worth the extra money.
The bike really is super quiet! The programs are easy to use. I think at the highest setting even a pro could get a descent cardio workout.
All in all its a good bike, but really only worth about $199. Anything over $200 for this would be too much.
My only problem was really with UPS. I wasn’t home when they tried to deliver it. They ALWAYS have left the product at my door, but since I live on the 2nd floor they were too lazy to bring this one upstairs. They left the box at the complex office and I ended up having to pay someone $30 to bring it to my door!

I got this for my wife as an early Christmas present just before Thanksgiving. We have both been using it. Neither of us have any complaints thus far. The only reason I didn’t give it four stars is that we haven’t had it for very long so I don’t know about it’s durability.

Easy to use and adjusts pretty well for different size users. Not quite as easy to peddle as bikes available in the health clubs and no arm action.

I got this bike about 3 weeks ago and was very happy about the low price and free shipping. It arrived in perfect condition within 5 days. I found it extremely easy to put together; all the pieces were large and just needed to be attached to each other.
The one confusing thing was the package of screws, nuts & bolts. Some of the bolts had the washers and nuts attached (screwed on to the bolt) while others didn’t. So at first glance, I thought I was missing some washers and nuts (because all the rest were separated out and labeled). But then I realized they were there, they just were attached to the bolt.
It took me about 1.5 hours to put it all together (and I am not mechanically inclined at all, I just followed the directions). The hardest part was putting the pedal straps on. They fit really tight (my boyfriend had to shave the hole out a little with a razor) so make sure you put them where you want b/c they aren’t coming off easily!
Once I got it together, it worked perfectly! I’ve been using it a lot and I am very impressed with how quiet it is. It makes almost no noise at all. I am 5′2″ and I can reach the pedals just fine. I love the different programs, the heart rate monitor, and the adjustable resistance levels. It’s an awesome workout, but I don’t feel like I’m working out b/c I watch movies while I’m on it. I’m in fairly good shape and it has plenty of resistance for me to get a good workout, while the lowest resistance is super easy for beginners and cool downs.
Addressing complaints of other customers:
Some people complained about the seat being really hard to adjust. I didn’t have this problem at all. But the assembly directions do say (in small print in the back) that you have to cut a little piece off the underneath of the bike (where the lever connects to adjust the seat). If you don’t cut that off, I don’t think the adjustment would work. It’s a little black tube attached with a plastic tie.
Some also complained about the display being hard to read b/c it doesn’t have a back light. Again, I didn’t find that to be a problem at all. It looks fine to me.
Lastly, some people said the seat got uncomfortable after a while. This seat has WAY thicker foam than the seats on the gym machines (I’ve used them a lot). The thing is, you’re working your glutes when you pedal, so after a while the muscles in your butt get sore! It’s not the seat.
I love my new bike!
