4.0 out of 5 stars RIDE ON!, May 15, 2007

By	Lee (Windber, PA USA) - See all my reviews

After considerable research, I decided on this bike for the following reasons:

1. Amazon reviewers rated it highly.
2. Portable and foldable... takes up a small amount of space.
3. I didn't want to spend a fortune in case this turns into a clothes rack in three months.

PROS:

1. Easily assembled... my husband and I put this together in about 30 minutes.
2. Virtually noiseless. If you live in an apartment or with other people, they'll never know you're using it.
3. Smooth pedal movement.
4. Easily reachable tension adjustment.
5. Monitor will continuously scan all the modes (time pedaling, distance travelled, MPH, calories burned) or you can fix it on one mode. Display is rather large and easy to read.
6. Easily moveable between rooms.
7. Great price for a folding bike.

CONS:

1. *HARD* seat... I'm buying a gel pad.
2. Unlighted monitor. In a dim room, it's very hard to read.
3. Someone else said they thought the seat was too high. At 5'5" in my stocking feet, I wish it was capable of dropping down a couple more inches, too.


*********UPDATE**********

Here it is, March 25 2008, nearly a year later, and I'm still using the bike and loving it. I'm up to tension level 5 and there are 5 more levels to go. I don't know if I'll ever be able to actually ride at level 10, but it's something to shoot for.

The bike is still performing really well. No change in noise level, it's still whisper quiet. Monitor has had no problems, either. The gel pad definitely helps! This product is still entirely worth the money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good beginner bike, August 26, 2008

By	April Bolton-Smith (Annandale, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this bike after reading all of the other reviews about it. I found all of the critiques to be accurate (it's a little small for anyone over 5'10" and the shipping is pricey). My biggest complaint about the bike, though, is the tension setting. Only a couple of reviewers made any mention of it. I've used the bike several times and I have to set it to the highest tension to get a decent workout. I'm a bit disappointed that I don't have anything to work up to - and I'm even not an avid biker or exerciser! I'm 34 in good health and participate in low to moderate physical activity. I do not recommend this bike to people who are looking for gym-quality exercise bike. However, this is a great bike for people who are looking to get a little cardio exercise at home or who may be just getting back into exercising/physical activity.

5.0 out of 5 stars great bike, November 18, 2006

By	infandum (Somerville, MA) - See all my reviews

I am enjoying this bike a great deal. It doesn't take up too much room, although the "stow away" aspect of it was not as impressive as I was hoping--when you fold it up, you save maybe 1 foot of room. But that's okay because it's still a pretty skinny device. I keep it in the closet and roll it out every day--I wouldn't say it's light (it's about 40 lbs) but it's not hard to maneuver. Assembly was not that difficult. All in all, a great bike for getting some exercise while doing other things (I watch TV, read, or play a game on my Nintendo DS).
