The bike has many features such as exercise programs, easily adjusted seat positioning, and even an adjustable fan.
Also, this bike is well built and with features found on much more expensive bikes.

Pros- arrived well packaged, put it together with my 14 year old in about 1.5 hours. Easy adjust seat for height- I’m 6-2 and plenty of leg room. Seat is easy to clean materials. Impressed with how quiet pedaling is. Programming is not too difficult to figure out. Great range of resistance.
Cons- for how quiet the pedaling is, operating the programming produces extremely loud beeps. Every push of a button or change in resistance is loud, so tough for those trying to sleep. I like the built in fan but it blows air a little to the left so it only hits my side/arm area and is adjustable only up and down. The hand held HR sensor is off by at least 15 BPM but that’s to be expected. Get a chest strap monitor if you want accuracy. The Explore the world App is very unrealistic. I’v only tried the free routes but they are short and make you feel like your going 20 mph and barely pedaling. Some may actually like that.

This bike is just perfect. I put it together easily, only needed help to hook up the handle bar, it takes another pair of hands to get it connected. The ride it great… comfortable… everything works….smooth. So happy with it.

Perfect size for home use. Easy to set up and adjust for different heights. Both my teenage daughter and I are using it since the weather's not great outside. Bought on sale. More affordable and convenient than paying to go to a gym.

This bike was a little disappointing. It is not updated to work well with new tech. Schwinn tool box app will not load on my phone (believe it is not compatible with recent iOS). Bluetooth has no audio so if you want audio need to use a cable. The cable that comes with it needs an adapter who work with Apple lighting port. Hope they upgrade to mini USB for next model. Good basic bike but if you want to use apps with it research carefully. It seems to be very limited. Now I know why it was on sale. Other than world explorer has anyone found apps that work?

Easy to assemble. Option for setting workout manually or use programmed workout. Seat is very comfortable and adjusts easily to fit anyone’s height. One negative is that pedal stirrups are too tight for a large foot

This bike is great! I have used it almost daily since purchasing it and have not had any issues. Love that it is so quiet and very easy to use. I researched may recumbent bikes and settled on this one, so glad I did!

Exactly what we needed. We’ve only had it about a month, but really like it. Very smooth pedaling and extremely quiet. Very easy to change the seat positions to accommodate riders of different heights. We haven’t tried the built in programs yet, we’re just riding it manually. Very good for our use because some medical issues keep us from walking at the present time. I used to ride my bike outside, but haven’t been able to for a few years because of a fall.
It took us several hours to put it together because we had a couple of minor issues. Also the instructions for using it could be more detailed. I was able to download a larger manual online which helped.

Very happy with this recumbent bike. It works well and does not take up as much room as a treadmill would. The settings are easy to use and it is easy to adjust between my husband and myself using it.

With one exception this bike was quite easy to assemble by myself. However, you need two people when trying to put in the display mast as the connecting wires are quite short. The bike is high quality and with an app you can get the tours of the world via bluetooth while you pedal.

I love this bike. I ordered it at a Best Buy store by looking at a picture they showed me & read what features it has. The value was reasonable I thought. I purchased it, had it professional installed because I didn't want to deal with it to save a few bucks. I am very happy with this purchase. I never wanted to put my large IPAD on the display so my iPhone fits just perfect to help the time go by quickly. I love the easy in, easy out entry. I'm not focused on not having to trip going in or out. It's a very quiet bike too. I'm glad I bought it.

I would absolutely recommend this. It is quiet to use. I love the little fan on it that cools my face when I'm hot. The USB port is handy and being able to adjust the seat is nice since my husband and I both use it. Its nice to have wheels to make it easier to move. The seat has a nice cushion but the back of the seat is curved on the sides and does cut into my back so I have put a towel over it so it has some cushion so it doesn't hurt so much. It would be easier for me if the bottle holder was on the right side instead of the left side. But other then that it hards to find anything to complain about with this bike!

Let’s start by laying out that I am a big guy. Obese and 6’5”. That being said I can fit on this bike fine. The chair doesn’t hold my back very well, but for 60 minutes exercise it works.
The bike itself is nice. It’s sturdy, me and my husband could get it down the stairs and at it up, and it’s comfortable to sit in.
There are some issues. First the display isn’t great. It’s hard to keep track of your goals and set up a routine. Second the fan isn’t great at hitting my face. Finally the shoe holder is too narrow for my size 15 feet. I have to ride barefoot to get my feet to fit. These are minor things, but for the price tag they matter.
The setup was pretty straight forward. A little annoying with some of the directions. Took about 30 minutes.
Overall I am pleased. This is on par with the one I used to use at the gym. It’s a good exercise and fits nicely into a corner of a room. I’m glad I bought it and for a big guy I am pleased it is big enough and sturdy enough for me to use.

Pain to assemble. Good for routine usage and expectations are high for many years of use. Included software out of date, some online options not available. Good sturdy base, feels safe to use higher difficulty settings.

Seeking an aerobic exercise alternative because we’re avoiding the health clubs due to Covid. Online reviews were mostly positive and we knew friends who were pleased with this bike. Have used for about 6 weeks and very pleased. Heart rate monitor function is less than optimal but we use a Polar H 10 Chest strap monitor and the polar app on an iPad to monitor accurately. Can’t address long term durability in this short timeframe. Satisfied and would purchase again.
