Q: Can this hold a computer or iPad?
A: Yes it does. The shelf right in the middle of the main screen will hold a laptop or chrome book or an ipod/ipad. It does block the screen which is what I don't like, but that is not too serious. The part of the screen that it blocks is just a bunch of flashing prompts. The part of the screen below the shelf that is still visible is what monitors your mileage, calories spent, etc. I really like my bike and am a bigger guy (6'3", 250#). A little rough to assemble tho. I put together by myself but highly recommend 2 people. I think you'll be very happy with this bike! I've had it for about 4+ months now.
Q: How stable is this bike? I am short and overweight.
A: Very stable if set up correctly. There are adjustable feet on the rear to make it level. Has step through center so that you are not climbing on, just step through and sit down. My wife is also on the shorter side.
Q: what is the weight of the flywheel.? Is the bike quiet?
A: Not sure of flywheel weight but bike is extremely quiet. It’s one of the reasons we bought it.
Q: What are the dimensions of the box in which the Nautilus R618 is packaged?
A: 66 1/2 Inches X 27 1/2 inches X 13 1/2 inches
Q: If it doesn’t come with a power cord where do you get one?
A: It does not need a power cord. It uses a small voltage plugin and adapter that comes with the unit.
A: length is 67.3" and the width is 26.4". Yes there is a water bottle holder. You might want to download the manual from the Nautilus website, before buying.
Q: How much weight will this support? My husband weighs 300 pounds and is 6' 2". Thanks!
A: I’m 6’1” and 325. I have no issues whatsoever, this bike is a beast. Seat is comfortable for man sized guys. Very good choice.
Q: What are the differences between R618 and R616?
A: 618 is just the newer model. Computer interface is much improved in my opinion and they added a comfort gel seat. Other than that, they are basically the same.
