Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy an efficient cardio workout without leaving the home with the Ironman 125 recumbent exercise bike. The no-frills bike offers all the workout basics, including an 11-pound flywheel that creates a smooth feel as you ride, along with a large LCD readout that tracks your time, speed, distance, pulse, and calories burned. Riders will also appreciate the self-balancing pedals and recumbent step-through frame, which combine to create a comfortable riding experience. (The frame is particularly ideal for people with limited mobility or who are recovering from injury). Perhaps the most convenient feature, however, is the bike's compact, light-power design. The bike, which is small enough to fit easily in apartments or small rooms, features a computer that runs on two AA batteries (included). As a result, you can locate the bike pretty much anywhere--including on the back deck in the summertime--as no outlet is required for operation. Other features include eight resistance levels, handlebar pulse grips, bottom wheels for easy transport, and a 250-pound capacity. The Ironman 125 recumbent bike measures 42 by 41 by 19 inches (W x H x D), weighs 69.3 pounds, and carries a lifetime warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on parts.

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.

This bike is well worth the money. I have ridden much more expensive exercise bikes that don't ride as smoothly. The manual tension control is precise and gives low to very high impact, and ensures that the bike will still work if the computer dies. The pulse feature is nice and accurate. There were no assembly instructions, but assembly is fairly straightforward. It has a very solid construction; I see it lasting a very long time.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the bike and it worked for about 3 weeks. I never could get the tension controls to work. Then the pedals fell off. I tried reattaching them but they would not stay on the bike longer than a few minutes. I contacted the manufacturer and was told they had no replacement parts available. So, I called Amazon and they sent a replacement. The replacement worked for 1 week before the exact same problem happened. Amazon is taking that one back too, but the product seems to have issues.
Maybe others have had better luck, but I wanted to share my experience in the hopes that you don't have to go thru what I have.
UPDATE: After I returned bike #2, I bought the "Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike" and it works great. It is about $100 more expensive, but it is well worth it.
I noticed that the price on this ironman now is much lower then when I originally purchased it - which speaks volumes about the product as well. You get what you pay for.

I really like it. It rides very smooth and I appreciate all the bells and whistles. Only negative is that it isn't easy to adjust for riders of different sizes. It takes a little effort.
