Because both my wife and I need more exercise, the upright exercise bike is a virtual necessity. Perhaps its greatest virtues are that it takes up relatively small space and that the pace of exercise can be controlled.

Its two largest drawbacks are that: it is hard to ship (it is a miracle that it arrived with only one broken part, given the condition of the shipping carton); and its seat has proven quite uncomfortable.

The bike seems to be excellent over all, I’ve had it for about a month now. Fan is not working but it not a huge deal. Silent operation.
Overall, very excellent.

I have just a couple complaints:

1. The bike was barely in its package when it arrived via UPS. The bike is quite heavy and the cardboard/styrofoam packaging had nearly fallen apart. UPS said they had to tape it together and that I should set it up immediately to ensure nothing had fallen out. Thankfully, despite the holes in the packaging, it was all there.

2. The set-up went quite well except that I spent TWO HOURS trying to screw the left peddle into the frame. Let it be known: “Lefty loosey, righty tighty” is not a universal rule. When you get to the left peddle, save yourself hours — turn it to the left!

Otherwise, the bike is solid and functional. It also looks decent in my living room. I’m a relatively pleased customer.

I bought this bike via a Sears After-Christmas sale online. Judging from the torn up box it came in when I picked it up, I was a bit worried about what I’d find inside when I got home and opened it up.

But ALL of the parts were there, and assembly was quick and simple. Once I got past the trial and error of the initial workouts on it (seat adjustment,the most appropriate seating level,learning the basic controls, etc. ),it’s operation has been quite smooth & flawless, as well as VERY silent!!

My only complaint:TOO many Bells and Whistles for what it is. But I guess many users would consider that to be a Excellent thing!!

A excellent product. We’ve had it about six months, and it’s seen honestly heavy use without any problems. It’s built solidly, giving one a much better feeling than the rather cheaper model it replaced. Not terribly simple to place together, but not god-dreadful. One of the wheels on the base was hurt in shipping, but we didn’t feel this a huge enough problem to ship it back for a replacement. Controls are honestly intuitive, with an adequate range of programs and such. The fan isn’t worth the plastic it’s made of, but that is probably par for the course. Probably a excellent choice if you’re looking for a mid-range product.
