This exercise bike will live outside in Arizona, on a covered patio. It was simple to put together, according to my husband. It doesn't have fancy electronics, although there is a battery powered display. My fitness tracker keeps track of everything I need, so I don't really care about the display. The resistance is selected manually with a sort of toggle switch. It has handle bars, but also bars that sit alongside the seat and can be swiveled up and back to be out of the way. I like those side handles best, so that I'm leaning back (since I had back surgery this is most comfortable) and not trying to reach out to the handle bars. There is an adjustment for the seat. I'm 5'7" and my husband is 6'2" and we both fit on the machine (with different seat locations, of course). The rotation of the pedals is smooth and the bike is very quiet. There are cheaper models out there (and more expensive, of course), but if you don't need fancy electronics I recommend this bike. Solid construction and highly functional. Worth every penny. PS: I got a scooter cover for it, since it's outside, and that is a perfect way to protect it from the occasional rain in the desert.

This bike is super well built and heavy. They delivered it to my house and I had them set it down by the steps. I then opened the box and took the loose parts inside to where I was going to leave it. The main body was heavy. I was able to get it up three stairs and into the house, where I set it on a heavy blanket, then dragged it to where I wanted it to be. Assembly was easy enough and all required parts were there. Heads up on attaching the rail that has the seat mounted on it. It's held on by two long bolts. I had trouble pushing it thru the four holes. I finally figured there is a smaller screw already in it's hole under the seat in front that you need to take out in order for the rail to line up with the holes. There is a YouTube video for this exact model. If you blink you miss them saying to remove the screw first,secure the rail,then put that screw back in. It holds the front of the seat down. Peddling is very smooth and real quiet. There's very little difference in the first few settings, but the high setting does make peddling harder. Seat is comfortable. Also the bar attached to the seat assembly swings down and out of the way so you can sit down. It doesn't stay up no matter how much you tighten the clamp screws. That's how it's designed. You grab them and pull them up and you get your heart rate on the display. You can see the sensor pads in the handle. This bike seems bulletproof. I'm confident it will last a long time. Great bike. Cheers!.

We received the bike a few days ago. Between my husband and I, we assembled in around an hour. The box is pretty heavy. The directions are pretty good, its a bit confusing because many bolts are already in their places (you unscrew them to connect another piece) but the bike came together well.Like other reviewers, I think it does not quite have the resistence I would like, but its good for now. The Bluetooth works, it comes with 180 days free of the Merach app and another app called Kinomap (14 day free trial) They work but because this bike is adjusted manually, you have to change the adjustment to follow the pace. Its hard to figure out because it will say "change to 34% resistance" but is that level 3, level 4?I am 280 lbs, 5'5 and the height works great for me and its solid when I sit on it.Its a good bike and we are pleased with it.

Nice bike! Easy to put together. The seat is a little hard but that can be remedied by purchasing a padded seat cover. The flywheel operates quietly. Got this to exercise after knee replacement surgery and it seems to really do the trick. One issue and other reviewers stated this as well, was the level of difficulty handle to increase/decrease effort, did not match up to expectations. A 6 level should be moderate to heavy effort, but in reality, the six is like a 3 or 4 on other bikes. This bike is just what I wanted/needed, and for the price, the stability and strength, ease of mobility, quietness, easy to put together, quick shipping, I highly recommend this bike.

I like that it's comfortable and easy to use. Me and my grandma use it. Price is good. Will buy again if need to. Levels are perfect. Doesn't shake or wobble around. Quiet. First 3 minutes, my knees and ankles were feeling stiff. Lol. But now they're getting stronger.

I came across this brand when I was looking for a replacement Elliptical. I was a bit skeptical because I was not familiar with the company but did some research. I decided to purchase the Elliptical AND couldn't resist replacing our Recumbent bike because the price was right. I couldn't be happier with both purchases. The bike: Easy to assemble using the provided instruction (it's a plus that a large portion is already assembled when it arrives), Also, everything you need to finish the assembly is provided. After assembly the last thing to do is put the seat where it's comfortable for you and hop on and pedal. A couple of things to note: I found the seat difficult to slide back and forth at first but sprayed a little grease on the area where it slides and now it slides easily. Shifting gears with the lever is super easy, please note that you will see little difference in the resistance between 1-5 -- it's designed that way -- use the higher numbers. The only noise from this bike would be from you when riding in high gear...the bike is quiet! Pedaling is very smooth and not at all clunky. The seat is comfortable and I appreciate the mesh backrest. I waited a few weeks to write this review because I wanted to use the bike, it has been put to the test. Bottom line: Quality machine, reasonable price tag, and good customer service.
