MaxKare Recumbent Exercise Bike Indoor Cycling Stationary Bike with Adjustable Seat and Resistance, Pulse Monitor/Phone Holder (Seat Height Adjustment by Knob)

This recumbent bike is solid and quiet. Assembly took about an hour, in total, and I did it myself (75 year old woman). There is one glaring exception: the location of the battery compartment on the little computer. Unless someone else has found another way to do it, I'll have to remove the computer (two small screws) just to get to the batteries. That's a hassle. It's a silly design by someone who had no clue that batteries don't last forever. What the heck was that guy thinking. Oh, I know: he wasn't.

for the money this might be the best recumbent bike available. After 200 miles, it is still just as smooth as day one. My only criticism would be that there isn't enough resistance nor seemingly much (if any) difference in the different resistance settings, but overall I am very pleased with this bike.

UPDATE: I Initially rated this item with only 2 stars. I must say I am very pleased with the customer service I have received since my initial review. The company has gone above and beyond to resolve my issue. You just don't find that kind of service anymore, which is why I am updating my review to 5 stars!!!ORIGINAL REVIEW: Very disappointed! The description said it was designed for people 4'6" and taller, which is the main reason I purchased this particular recumbent bike. I am 4'11" and my feet do not reach the pedals well enough for me to use this. I even put a pillow behind my back and that didn't work. Would love to hear back from the seller on what can be done. Currently, it is just sitting in my living room taking up space.

My doctor recommended that I start using a recumbent bicycle instead of walking on a treadmill due to my arthritic knees. I finally chose this particular bicycle after much consideration. The price was just right. It arrived within a week. It was easy to put together, maybe a little over an hour. Easy to use. Although it now makes a funny noise when I peddle, it still works great. It was a little difficult at first but I got used to it after a few days on it. My knees feel less stiff and I feel better overall that I am getting some exercise daily. I had accidentally ordered 2 bicycles and charged for both and got in touch with the company through Amazon customer service and they were able to cancel the 2nd bicycle and refund my money in about a week and a half. I was most grateful for the friendly and prompt service. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

For the price this is a decent product. I got extended warrantee. You can’t give 5 because the seat is a bit wobbly and to be honest I can’t reach the front bars when I’m peddling and I’m 5’6”Let’s see how long it lasts.Installation had a couple of issues but I worked them out. iPad fits great so in My home gym I can use this At the end of the workouts to cool down watch a movie and burn calories

For the price, this is a good little machine. After you start using it the stiffness goes away and it gets a little easier. This machine does what it is meant to do. There are no real bells and whistles but it works fine. My only warning is in the instructions. They are not clear and have you going back many steps to do something you were supposed to do that they never indicated you should do. Have patience. It is worth it for the price.

Great product, VERY quite, great price, fits me (4’9”, 27” inseam) perfect, small size (fits end of Qbed), not too difficult to put together, easy to get on and off.Only had 3 days, but satisfied. Saw newer model (more money) has a few nicer features - pulse meter now on handles by seat and better position and design, seat adjustment knob now a lever by seat - nice, front handle bars closer better position. Maybe be things to consider? I think I will be fine with older model. I will write another review in 3 weeks.

Had total knee replacement and this bike is perfect to fit in therapy schedule.
