I have used this exercise bike for a month now and have lost 10 lbs. with exercise and dieting. This bike is very easy to assemble if you follow the directions completely. Although the seat is very uncomfortable I purchased a foam pad cover and it is much better to sit on now. I highly recommend this product for someone with limited exercising capabilities like myself. If used properly it will help you to lose weight. After using this bike for a month I checked all the bolts and nuts and every one is still as tight as when i assembled it. A very good product for the price.

Beware the fan only cools around your ankles & this bike is EXTREMELY Noisy. I am afraid to use this in the morning as I don't want to wake the house. If watching the tv while riding I have to put the tv volume up high in order to hear it clearly over the noise. Assembly can be difficult and the arms are awkward

If I could do it over again I would buy a different bike. I've had the bike for about 10 months and I can tell you it's VERY loud when you pedal, the fan does not cool you off, the seat is extremely uncomfortable, the handle bars are very awkward and you have to pedal pretty fast to get a good workout because the only resistance is the small fan. I'm saving my money to buy a different bike and tossing this one.

When I unpacked the bike I was impressed by the design and the quality of the construction. The instructions were clear and the bike assembled easily. It works great...Runs smoothly and quietly. I'm looking forward to using it daily. If there's a negative it's the seat, it's pretty hard. I've ordered a foam pad.

The product makes me work and sweat and that is good. Good workout, reasonable price, decent quality, well worth the dollars spent.

I got this exercise bike around christmas it was fairly easy to assembly, didn't take a lot of time. I was most
concerned with the amount of resistance. During the winter when I can't ride my bike outside this became my best
option for a work out. However riding 15 to 20 miles on this bike a day(sounds like a lot) I received no work out
at all I never even felt winded. I am not a stellar athlete either. Given the choice to do this again I wouldn't. The fact that you can not increase resistance is one of the worse drawbacks, along with the seat being
as hard as a rock.

After reading the directions for assembly requiring 2 or more people, I was a little frightened about trying it myself and did not have the specialized tools required so I had my son-in-law do it. Took him 20 minutes with no help.
The handle bars are a little short and I have to reach further than I would like and hunch for ward when I use them but other than that it is exactly what I was looking for. There is just enough resistance for me. I have bad hips and couldn't handle much more.
The seat is a little uncomfortable after about 10 minutes but I have a folded towel over it so it isn't so bad. Not sure if a gel cover would be enough padding if one wanted to buy one.
It is small and light and the front has little wheels making it easy to slide into a corner when you are finished with your workout.

I love this bike. I have worked up to 45 minutes at a time.

The lack of resistance is true, but easy to fix. I rotate between working out just my arms and just my legs each day. When exercising my arms, I put my feet on the pedal and apply pressure in the opposite direction....I do the same when exercising my legs. Works fine for me.

As for noise. I went to Walgreens and bought a tv wireless headset for 10 dollars. I turn the tv speakers off and just listen through the head set.

Not bad, it was simple to put together the seat adjustment could be better. As you ride, you must reach far for the handle bar which makes it a bit uncomfortable. Overall I'm satisfied. I got my moneys worth. Free shipping to Hawaii in less than twelve days great deal!
