WHAT A GREAT VALUE!

"This bike was a gamble...buying an exercise bike sight unseen was risky. However, from the moment it arrived to just a few minutes ago, it has been evidence of a very good decision. First, we saved a bundle buying from this site. Then, after a couple of months, it has nearly paid for itself since we could finally drop our gym membership.

"I have had Schwinn recumbent bikes in the past and have enjoyed their high quality, especially considering the reasonable price. This bike is everything I wanted with one glaring exception: the bike makes a clicking sound that I can feel as I rotate the pedals, only on the left pedal, at the top of the stroke does it do this. The problem will seem to get better but then come back with someone else from my family..." Read Full Review »

"Both my husband and I have enjoyed this recumbent. It's easy to use and a smooth ride!

I especially like the "GOOD JOB!" message that appears when you reach your goal. Also like the walk-thru feature instead of having to hike your leg over a bar - to the young and fit - it wouldn't seem like a co …"  Read Full Review »

"I love this comfortable bike. I am a female and I assembled it myself. Not one issue! The instructions were simple and all the tools needed are included. It is super quiet. I ride it while my daughter is sleeping in the same room. The water bottle holder is in a funky place, but that is minor. …"  Read Full Review »

"This is a great bike. Very smooth and solid. The only minor problem I see is with the heart rate monitor. When you place your hands on the sensors, the initial reading starts at 72 and slowly works its way up to whatever your actual heart rate might be. Just seems to take a while to get there. …"  Read Full Review »
