About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

 A Quality Item February 20, 2009
A Beachbum (St. Marys, GA USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The shipping box looked pretty bad upon arrival, but the contents were in perfect shape due to excellent interior protection. Screws I thought might be missing were already in place in the seat and seat back. Put it together in less than 1 hour working alone with my own tools. Tools provided are like survival kit. Would work but would take much longer. Perfect fit & finish on all parts. Very high quality for this price. Very sturdy and stable ride as evidenced by 300 Lb. rating. Large easy to read computer display. Easy to move wheels. Easy seat adjust and tension knob.
Best for the price November 30, 2009

The bike itself is perfect. The molded seat, a feature not found on most exercise bikes, makes it comfortable. I shopped around and Amazon had the very best price for this item. I put the item together myself, in about 90 minutes. Be aware, when you separate the screws, it may seem several are missing. Although not stated in the instructions, the screws for the seat and back rest are actually in place and must be unscrewed to be reattached.
The bike itself deserves 5 stars. However, I upgraded shipping for quicker delivey and it was not shipped within the time frame promised. That is on Amazon. When received, the box was wet and falling apart. The delivery driver said the box had been near melting ice. I expected the worst but the bike itself was still in good condition. That is on UPS.
Great exercise bike! November 28, 2009

This arrived even faster than they said it would, assembled quite easily in about 45 minutes, and it's very easy to use (especially if you park it in front of the TV), and I am absolutely loving it. It is totally noiseless and doesn't take up a lot of room, either. Great bike for the price, and seems very sturdy and likely to last a long time. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
exceeded my expectations March 2, 2010

Contrary to some other reviews, my package arrived in great condition. Everything was well-packaged and intact. The instructions were relatively easy, but took a lot of concentration (as I'm not so wonderful at these types of things). As others experienced, 4 screws were already screwed into the bottom of the seat and 4 more into the back of the seat. These had to be unscrewed first, then re-screwed in to attach the parts to their various mounts and brackets.
Although the tools provided are adequate, I switched to my own tools halfway through assembly to lessen my frustration.
I chose free shipping to save myself $50. I just couldn't justify spending that kind of money to get the machine sooner. I was glad I did. It arrived in 7 days and was worth the wait.
I really love that this machine has no arms - the recumbent bikes at the gym all have arms that go back and forth as you pedal and I don't like them. This machine is low to the ground, too, which makes it less obtrusive in the space it's in. I also really love the low computer console - makes for unobstructed viewing of the TV while I work out.
And this things makes no sound whatsoever! I was astonished at how quiet it was.
I should also note that I'm not a small person. This machine has a weight limit of 300lbs and it's quite sturdy. It's not as beefy as one you'd find in a gym, but it's totally adequate for a home gym. I broke my leg a few years back and every physical therapist I saw had me ride one of these bikes during my recovery. If you have ankle flexibility issues like me, it helps a ton.
All in all, this machine greatly exceeded my expectations, given the amount paid for it. I recommend it highly.

This bike does what it says in the description. It was relatively easy to assemble, but did arrive with some shipping damage. The plastic legs were crushed but Stamina did send a replacement within a week. Regarding performance, it is quiet and stable with enough resistance for most people. The adjustment for the seat distance is not the easiest so I would not recommend if you are not limber enough to hold the base in place with your legs while you try to slide the adjustment forward or backward. The electronics is very simple but not very important to me in terms of different programs. I only use the timer. The main criteria for my purchase of this bike was: Low console to not block view of TV; step through design; and price. This bike fits the bill. If you want a bike that looks & feels expensive then this is not for you. It's just a clean simple bike.
