Niceday Recumbent Exercise Bike, Recumbent Bike for Home, Recumbent Stationary Bike 400LBS Weight Capacity, Magnetic Recumbent Bike with Smart APP, LCD Monitor, Heart Rate Handle

Great bike. It is comfortable and easy to ride. It is stable and is very quiet for a recumbent bike. Good value for the money.

This is the most well designed and engineered piece of equipment I haver ever seen. It is packed for shipment so well it could withstand a 12 foot drop without damage. The Bike is silent when pedalling. The seat is adjustable to accomodate most any height person. The tension adjustment is located in an easy location without having to get up from the seated position. There are 16 positions. The lowest position is excellent for knee replacement surgery. The highest will provide an excellent workout. The display is easy to operate and has a scan feature which will change from time to speed to heart rate, etc every 6 seconds. The bike weighs 100 pounds but has a handle on the back and wheels on the front to move it. I am 83 years old and have long term COVID yet I can pick it up and move it around with little effort. The seat is large with a net back which is very comfortable. The assembly instructions are simple to follow. It comes with all tools necessary and all hardware, i.e. nuts and bolts are mounted on cardboard covered with plastic. All pieces are clearly identified and match the instructions. I would highly recommend this product and I compliment EasyDay for designing an excellent piece of exercise equipment.

I bought this make and model of exercise bike because it isn't a 'smart' bike. You don't need WiFi or a subscription program to use it. It doesn't even need a wall outlet. The only powered thing on the bike is a small electronic monitor, which requires two AAA batteries. It has a very simple interface. Putting it together is mostly uncomplicated. There is a lot of tape holding the packing materials together, so keep a box cutter handy. It's also heavy to slide out of the box. I ended up cutting the whole side of the box open to slide it out upright. It comes with all the tools you need to put it together.When assembling the bike, my biggest challenge was putting the seat mount onto the base of the bike. The instruction manual indicates the seat saddle should be fixed to the seat mount before you install the mount onto the bike base. I found this almost impossible to do with the seat installed. I could not get the two bolts all the way through the frame straight. I tried doing this while holding the frame at an angle to see/feel what I was doing. I also tried it while lying on the floor. I eventually had to take the screws back out of the seat saddle and remove it from the seat mount to get the bolts all the way through the frame and nested correctly. You can only feed them through in one direction. One side of the frame rail has squared holes, while the other side is rounded. It is important to feed the bolts through from the squared side. The rounded side is for the nylock nuts to lock down on. Except for that hiccup, the rest of the setup made sense. If you get confused by the instructions, there is also an instructional video you can find on YouTube which shows the bike being put together. You can find it by searching, "Nice Day Recumbent Bike Installation." You'll see what I mean about the seat mount, though. It's easier to put it on the base if you leave the seat off until after the seat mount is attached the the base of the bike.One thing I find quirky about the finished bike is the large handlebar under the seat mount isn't fixed to one position. It can be rolled up and backward. This may be intentional to help someone with mobility limitations to slide onto the seat. When riding the bike, the handlebar floats as you grip the pulse sensor. Again, I do not know if that's a bug or a feature, but it doesn't impede the overall function of the bike. The seat provides plenty of stability whether or not you hang onto the handlebar. If the wiggling/floating bugs you, you could lay some felt between the handle bar and the mounting bracket that holds it to the seat base.The handle bar mounted under the electronic monitor is firmly fixed to its mount when the bike is assembled. The seat position is easily adjusted to the distance you need from the pedals for healthy body mechanics. You can't adjust the angle of the seat back. The bike is very quiet in use. It's easy to watch TV or listen to your phone or tablet while riding. My only complaint is that this saddle is like sitting on a high school bleacher. It needs more padding. You can find padded cushions for this type of saddle on Amazon. I'm going to try a silicone gel cushion with mine.In review videos, users have mentioned the tension range provides strong resistance. When I have it cranked all the way up, I call that 'moderate.' You can't simulate pedaling through tar or wet sand with it. That's still okay for a beginner who is just getting into fitness, or for someone who simply wants to maintain health and cardio. There are plenty of free exercise videos on YouTube that show how to incorporate your bike into a challenging workout. I won't call this an exercise bike you'd use to train for sustained uphill mountain riding. Persons looking for something like that aren't shopping in this price range.

I've been using this exercise bike for the past 9 months, 3 times per week for 30 minutes each time. It pedals as smooth as silk, and is totally silent. It pedals smoother than most professional models I have used at gyms. The only noise is a creaking from the mechanism securing the seat to the frame. The seat comfort is fine. No additional padding is needed. I love how you just walk into position and sit down without having to lift my leg at all. It was very simple to assemble in about an hour. It was easy to roll into it final resting place with the handle and integrated transport wheels, even over carpeting. The only deficiency is the mechanism to hold the seat in position. If left alone, it will loosen up after about a month causing the seat to slide forward. I try to remember to push down on the seat release handle every couple of weeks to make sure it is tight. The display is rudimentary. I just use it to set the timer, then switch to the speedometer mode to help me maintain the desired intensity of my workout.

This is a great recumbent bike. I did a lot of research and glad I settled on this one. It is sturdy, quiet and well made. Assembly instructions are very clear and detailed. I recommend two people when putting on the seat as it aids in lining up the holes for the bolts. I have used this bike for two months and have racked up 75 miles on it. I purchased it for therapy for my total knee replacement and it has served me well.The one area which could be improved is the monitor. The display is not backlit and I use a reading light to illuminate it. In addition it should have an on/off switch to conserve battery life. It stays on for 4 minutes and then turns off automatically.
