Other features include contact heart rate handlebars, quick-release pedals, 5-inch pedal spacing for proper alignment, a 300-pound capacity, and built-in wheels for mobility. The Polar-compatible LC-850RB--which supports such accessories as a heart rate chest strap and an equipment mat (sold separately)--weighs 108 pounds out of the box and carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, two years on parts, and 90 days on labor.

This review is from: Lifecore LC-850RB Ultra Compact Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)
I have no cartilage left in my knees. There are studies that show that repetitive motions like cycling at 70-90 RPM rebuilds the cartilage matrix. So I needed a bike. I don't go to the gym, and figured a membership to the gym around the corner would cost about $100 a month. I figured my budget based on a year of gym memberships - $1200. I wanted to spend less - but that was my price range.
I started at SEARS and found a perfectly acceptable bike there for around $500 and then looked it up online, the Nautilus Recumbent R514 and that looked pretty great. And it was almost 1/3 of what I had to spend. I also looked at the Schwinn 240 which was a bit less expensive and had a cool video game console! That kind of grabbed my attention. LOL But I wanted a bike that would be professional commercial gym quality, that was silent and that would last for 30 years. And for that, you do have to crank up the pricing. So I dug into the StarTrac and LifeSpan R3. At first I was pretty sure I was going to get the R3. It had tons of great reviews and looked professional and heavy duty. But then I found a very new offering - the compact LifeCORE 850rb. I ordered, it came in a couple of days. Our delivery guys brought the box right into the room where I wanted it, too. It's very heavy. My husband installed it when I was at work. He said it wasn't too bad but I wasn't here for that. Personally, I am pretty sure I would have had to hire someone to do the assembly because I am pretty lame at doing things like that - so you might want to keep that in mind. You will have to call over your friend the engineer if you get into trouble installing. I think it took my husband about 2 hours - and that was with two little kids running around, grabbing parts, tools, hanging off his neck... The bike is absolutely SILENT. I can zone out in front of the TV - and it is PERFECT. It is SILENT! That was really important to me. And I'm 6 foot - it accommodates my height and looks like there are a couple of inches to go if you are a few inches taller than that. My five year old is four feet tall and on the lowest seat setting she can use the bike, too. It has a very nice range of seat adjustments and is extremely comfortable. Soon after installation I saw my six year old with his legs crossed on-top of the console - just reclining on the bike like it was a chaise lounge! The first few minutes I used it I could feel the sweat and felt like I was working! Which was shocking to me, as a long time warrior I never put much faith in exercise bikes for a workout. But believe it! If you are looking for a cardio machine, this one has you covered. The range of motion is perfect. And the operation is smooth. I have kept it to only 1 or 2 bars for resistance - my reason for using this bike may be different than yours (cartilage building) and I love it. The company is from San Diego area - you can google them. It is really important to me to support an American made product. Finally - the bike is SUPER compact and SOOOOOO much better looking than the R3 that I almost ordered. It has two little wheels on the front stabilizers so you can lift the back and wheel it around. It has a tiny thin cord that plugs right into the wall - you don't need a super power source - just regular house electricity will do. I LOVE IT. I would buy it again if I had to buy one for my mom or dad or for my kids. It is expensive, well made and works perfectly. I am certain my cartilage will rebuild in no time!! ;-)

This review is from: Lifecore LC-850RB Ultra Compact Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)
I looked at several recumbent bikes before settling on this one. It came a couple of days ago and I assembled it yesterday with no problems. All tools required are included with the bike although you might want to use an adjustable wrench on the pedals. I had read several reviews about how quiet the bike is but they understate it. It makes no noise whatsoever. This bike is solid - not like the cheap stuff you find at most sporting goods stores. The seat does not rock like some I have used. The control panel looks great and gives you all the information you would want (just like the ones you use at health clubs). All in all I could not be more pleased with this purchase.

having problems with this,
This review is from: Lifecore LC-850RB Ultra Compact Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)
First the panel would not turn off and the local company I bought it from came out to replace it. They had a hard time figuring it out how to turn it off the new panel, but finally figured it out. There is no owner's manual to speak of so you're on your own.
I used it daily for the first three weeks and now I am getting a sharp pain on the outside of my left knee. The seat really hurt my lower 'tailbone' right from the start. I'm hoping it will go away. Now this evening I noticed that the large seat is hitting the back of my legs when I pedal and that is starting to hurt. It took me a long time to find a bike build for a petite woman. Thought I'd found one, but apparently not. Now hoping I can return it.
