Exercise Bike, Indoor Chain Driven Cycling Bike Stationary Bicycle with Flywheel, Pulse, Water Bottle and Transport Wheels, 5.6 feet Height and 265 lbs Weight Capacity, Red

THINK IT IS A VERY WELL MADE PIECE OF MACHINERY. EASY TO ASSEMBLE.

Only issue I have is that sitting on it doesnt feel natural. Not sure if its my height or what.

I have used dozens of stationary exercise bikes over the years and owned a recumbent one for more than a decade. When my wife and I recently relocated from overseas back to the U.S., I was looking for a bike that would occupy a small footprint but provide all the basic features of a solid upright bike. I should have known things were going wrong when the box was shipped via the U.S. Postal Service, which would not even deliver it to my home. Fortunately, I only live a couple of blocks from my neighborhood post office, so I took my hand truck (the box weighed 60 lbs) and went to get it. When I got it home and opened it, it looked promising -- solid, substantial, well-put-together. The instructions to assemble it were, however, comically unintelligible -- they literally made no sense. I think someone took the original Chinese and used a bad version of babelfish to translate it. Anyway, if it weren't for a few small, murky photos, I would not have been able to figure out how to put it together. Happily, it wasn't terribly complicated, and once assembled, I had the same reaction: it looked good. Then I sat on it. I am not unusually tall or large -- I'm just a hair over six feet tall and weigh about 170 lbs. When I sat on the bike, though, I felt like an adult sitting on a child's tricycle. At the highest setting for the seat, my knees literally hit my elbows as I pedal. It is essentially unusable for me. My wife, who is 5'9", also tried it and found it nearly as uncomfortable to use. Who on earth thought this design was large enough for an adult? I'd send it back in a heartbeat -- but there's that US Postal Service problem. If I managed to disassemble it and get it back into the package, I would still have to schlep the 60-lb box back to the Post Office, and they will charge me half of what I paid for the bike just to send it back! Bottom line: this bike is fine if you're not more than 5'6", but don't touch it if you're any taller than that.

Did not come with assembly instructions. Would have given five stars if it did, however, pretty simple to figure out. First workout was tonight. It is quiet and smooth. Seat not too comfy, but it's just like a normal bike seat, so I may get a wider or gel seat for replacement. I am heavier (225 lbs) and it held me just fine. Hopefully, I won't be heavier for long with this machine. Easy on the knees and helps loosen the lower back.

This bike seems to do what it is supposed to, especially for the price. I am 6’1 and this is not a comfortable ride. It is just to small for me to exercise on it without having to stop and adjust something every few mins. Bike is nice looking and easy to assemble.

I like the bike and so does my family!

I like that putting the bike together was easy but the seat was too low at the highest setting.

I've enjoyed the bike very much except I found the seat most difficult to attach. It is still extremely wobbly and the 'simplistic' directions don't leave a lot with regard to troubleshooting. I added a gel padded seat cover which helps briefly. I would recommend it, though. For the price, it was well worth it.
