Nice recumbent bike. The seat is hard so you may want to use a cushion. The bike is quiet and smooth. Took me about 2 hours to put it together. All and all I like it so far. Gives you a good workout, more so it seems than the exercise bikes with the seat up much higher.

This Bike is a replacement for 15 year old Recumbent Bike. I reviewed several Bikes and this model fit my exercise needs the best. Being on sale $449.00 instead of a list price of $699.00 made the purchase affordable and within my budget. I had Best Buy Geek Squad deliver it and the delivery was on time for the date requested. Assembly was easy at just under two hours. Overall the quality is what I am used to getting from Schwinn and this Bikes quality is excellent. Since this Bike was quite an improvement over my previous Bike there was a slight adjustment to find the exercise programs that I like. Have used it twice and am satisfied with the programs offered. My only suggestion would be to add a backlit LCD for the control panel. You should not have to spend $200.00 more to get the next model up just for a back lit LCD.

This bike is super great! I have bad knees, bone on bone and the ride on this bike is smooth and pain free! It’s silent and easy to built! The seat is like heaven, comfy! It really helps all my stiff joints...Best buy I’ve made for myself! 100%
