It was very challenging with building this particular model. I spent a few hours trying to connect the cable which was part of the post the holds handles and screen. I ended up having to file to get pieces together to finish that part of the installation. Other than that, I am very happy with the quality of the cycle.

I did not want to train for a marathon, I only wanted to get my heart rate up and to have common sense exercise everyday. This is the perfect machine for those that need exercise, but can't use their knees or hips the way they used to and they were young. There are eight settings of resistance, plenty to choose from. You can take it easy, or you can exert yourself. It is very comfortable, and sturdy. Putting it together was not fun, but if you get the mindset to just sit down and do it calmly, it takes a couple of hours. It is worth the time and the aggravation. It sits in the corner of my bedroom nicely, and if I need to I can move it. It is smooth, and I have had no trouble. I like the simple screen settings to tell the time, distance, calories burned and speed. That's all I need. I won't go to the gym, so this is perfect. You can sit back and watch TV if you want or listen to music while you pump. I'm very pleased with it, and I was skeptical about ordering it. Took me several weeks to talk myself into ordering it because I had to put it together, and then I didn't know for sure it would be any good. It's worth the chance, the price is great, I would recommend it

Bike arrived early and wasn’t to bad to put together. I did use my own Phillips screwdriver which made it slightly quicker. Definitely two people to put the goose neck on with the cable. The directions didn’t specify to turn the nut and unscrew the cable holder so you can install the canl then turn it back where it was but I figured it out. The bike really works well and I am very satisfied with it. The tension is easy to adjust and the instrumentation is easy to read and setup.

The seat is unconfutable, But I will not complain, it does what I wanted it to do at a great price. I put a foam seat on it a lot better. Some reviews said it was noisy, but I found that not true in my case. It is very quiet. Easy to put together . If you follow according to instructions. Easy to move around. I put my ipad on it and watch TV as I go. Thank you for a great product. I just hope it stands up to time. Purchased 2 Weeks ago.

Since I am 82 years old, I bought it for my circulation, since I live in Florida it is to hot, in the summer, to walk. I like the comfortable seat and back, they are padded. I also like the variations in tension. There is nothing I don't like about my cycle.

This bike would have been my second Marcy. I have a upright and I wanted a recumbent. The bike itself is good. But the computer does not at all calculate the calories burned correctly. When I am on my upright bike 30 min depend on my speed I will burn 400- 500 calories. This bike only has me burning 25 calories. I know that a recumbent bike will burn a bit less but not 25 calories in 30 mins at a speed rate of 19. I was very disappointed. And the fact that I have to break the bike back down to send it back make me even more furious.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is one awesome cycle riding a cycle out on the street is ok but this exercise cycle is so much better you don't have to worry about bad weather pollution and dangerous traffic this is no worries with the safety in your home with this cycles great features burn calories loss weight and increase cardiovascular endurance would also like to mention this cycle is well made and comfortable with the side handles you can be in a lean back position or in the straight up position with the top mounted handles with the clear view of the computer screen in either position you can stay on the cycle for hours without your back or tail bone hurting and that is a big plus to me some of the features include step through frame design 8 pre set levels of resistance odometer and calories burned comfortable siting position handle bars and assist bars foam covered and frame is powder coated I recommend this cycle to everyone that wants to exercise in the safety and convenience of there homes

Having the bike put together tonight only to discover that the seat was not included in the box. Instead I received 2 backs. Also it is taking over 2 hours for my brother to assemble. I think I'm done with online purchases at least for a while. Sooo mad right now!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions were easy to follow and the bike was easy to assemble. Everything was clearly marked and easy to associate with the included directions. The tools are provided but I prefer my powered driver. It took me exactly one hour to assemble and the only problem I had was that one of the seat tabs was bent and had to be straightened, other than that everything was well packed and padded. There is a manual online just in case you lose yours and a toll free number if you need help or parts. The wheels on the front make it easy to move around. For a 150.00$ means it's not the cheapest or the most expensive but for someone needing a good bike, this fits the price. The step through design makes it easier to use, especially for those using it for rehab or for the elderly. It did take a little while to get used to the recumbent position when you have ridden upright cycles, but once you get everything adjusted it's easy to operate and the tension knob is easy to use. The seat is okay, but could use more padding, and easy to adjust and I'm 6'3", someone under 5' may have trouble reaching the pedals. The easy-to-read computer requires 2 AA batteries and displays speed, distance, time, and calories burned with a single button but the calorie checker may not match up to your actual results.

It took longer than estimated to arrive by a little over a week from original date; by w/ the virus shutdown, it's understandable. My wife and I have both used it several times and are both pleased w/ it. Quite sturdy for an inexpensive piece of home equipment. Set up wasn't bad either. Despite some concerns over being comfortable for people of wide ranges in height we have found no real issue. I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'1" and it accommodates us both well. There may be one or two minor wish items for this bike, but again, they're minor. I'm pleased enough w/ the product that I would consider another piece of equipment from this manufacturer.
