Customer Feedback-
"I like to bike, but don't like the cold. I was looking for an inexpensive but decent exercise bike. For the money, I'd be surprised if you can find a better value. It was delivered quick, and I put it together in about an hour (really easy)." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "I can confidently recommend this product if you're not looking for all the fancy bells and whistles. It has what I need: user memory so it saves my settings, pulse and calorie meter, different workout programs, very compact design and super quiet." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "Assembly of bike was a little difficult. The instructions required a little figuring out but the bike works extremely quietly and smoothly. The seat is a little uncomfortable." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "Considering the price of this bike, I would highly recommend it to folks on a budget. I went to various sports stores to try out similar models in the $300-500 range and didn't see any improvement worth paying that much for. Don't expect the ultimate exercise experience. You'll get your money's worth." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com |
