Not bad at all

Rating:****
I just got it today. I may go to 5 stars after a while. It's nice. I put it together in about an hour. All of the pieces were there and the instructions were good. I am a gearhead and love it when assembly is required. The programs that I used today were good and made my heart rate go up. It's smooth, stable and quiet. It's more comfortable that an upright but takes more room.

A good buy for the price.

All hardware was clearly labeled in a blister pack and I had it assembled in 45 minutes. The seat has poor lumbar support, but a pillow helps. The handles with the pulse sensors sit back too far, but you get use to it. The display isn't back lit, but is fairly easy to read and monitor your progress. So far, it's been a pretty good machine for the price and is easy on my knees.

We love it!!

Put it together in about an hour. The directions were fairly easy to read and understand. I'm not one that feels comfortable manually installing anything. If I can do it, anyone can. My two daughter and I road for about 2 hours each. No problems that we can tell. I have knee and ankle problems. I didn't feel the strain I usually feel when I run on the treadmill.

Excellent product for the price

Excellent product for the price. The only improvement that could be made would be to have more resistance settings. I've owned this bike for over 6 months and use it almost daily. I'd buy this bike again.

Great Purchase

There is no backlight on the display other than that it is awesome. Very quiet, easy to adjust and works well for someone that is 6'4" tall.

compicated assembly

Just bought this bike, it was difficult to set up and the operating instructions are unclear. You need an entire afternoon to set up it has about 100 pieces. One of the pedals is aready broken. Make sure you get the extended warranty. I hope it improves.
