    This bike does what it says in the description. It was relatively easy to assemble, but did arrive with some shipping damage. The plastic legs were crushed but Stamina did send a replacement within a week. Regarding performance, it is quiet and stable with enough resistance for most people. The adjustment for the seat distance is not the easiest so I would not recommend if you are not limber enough to hold the base in place with your legs while you try to slide the adjustment forward or backward. The electronics is very simple but not very important to me in terms of different programs. I only use the timer. The main criteria for my purchase of this bike was: Low console to not block view of TV; step through design; and price. This bike fits the bill. If you want a bike that looks & feels expensive then this is not for you. It’s just a clean simple bike.

    The shipping box looked pretty bad upon arrival, but the contents were in perfect shape due to excellent interior protection. Screws I thought might be missing were already in place in the seat and seat back. Put it together in less than 1 hour working alone with my own tools. Tools provided are like survival kit. Would work but would take much longer. Perfect fit & finish on all parts. Very high quality for this price. Very sturdy and stable ride as evidenced by 300 Lb. rating. Large easy to read computer display. Easy to move wheels. Easy seat adjust and tension knob.

    Contrary to some other reviews, my package arrived in great condition. Everything was well-packaged and intact. The instructions were relatively easy, but took a lot of concentration (as I’m not so wonderful at these types of things). As others experienced, 4 screws were already screwed into the bottom of the seat and 4 more into the back of the seat. These had to be unscrewed first, then re-screwed in to attach the parts to their various mounts and brackets.

    Although the tools provided are adequate, I switched to my own tools halfway through assembly to lessen my frustration.

    I chose free shipping to save myself $50. I just couldn’t justify spending that kind of money to get the machine sooner. I was glad I did. It arrived in 7 days and was worth the wait.

    I really love that this machine has no arms – the recumbent bikes at the gym all have arms that go back and forth as you pedal and I don’t like them. This machine is low to the ground, too, which makes it less obtrusive in the space it’s in. I also really love the low computer console – makes for unobstructed viewing of the TV while I work out.

    And this things makes no sound whatsoever! I was astonished at how quiet it was.

    I should also note that I’m not a small person. This machine has a weight limit of 300lbs and it’s quite sturdy. It’s not as beefy as one you’d find in a gym, but it’s totally adequate for a home gym. I broke my leg a few years back and every physical therapist I saw had me ride one of these bikes during my recovery. If you have ankle flexibility issues like me, it helps a ton.

    All in all, this machine greatly exceeded my expectations, given the amount paid for it. I recommend it highly.

    This is a nice, sturdy, reliable basic recumbent bike. It’s quiet and easy to use. Amazon.com delivered 2 days before I expected it, which was great. The box was torn a bit, but none of the parts were damaged or missing.

    One tip- the screws for the seat and console are already in those parts, not in the equipment bag with the other bolts and such. I was a dope and didn’t find them, so I emailed Stamina customer service through their website. They replied promptly and graciously, and I was able to assemble with no further problems.

    This unit has 6 programs that keeps me motivated to continue riding. I only use the first two programs as the other 4 are much too fast for me. I cannot even pedal 26mph, but visitors may want to use them someday. This is an excellent value, It’s comfortable and the computer is easy to read and set. I have been on much more expensive units at the gym, but this unit compares to them in every way. A really good buy, I recommend it to everyone who wants exercise when the wind is blowing or rain is making the real bike riding undesireable. Actually it more comfortable than the mountain bike, but the sceenery isn’t the same!!!

    I purchased the bike a few weeks ago and I love it! The bike was delivered on schedule and arrived in good condition. It took my husband and I about an hour to put it together and it works perfectly. It’s quiet, comfortable, the seat position is easily adjusted and the monitor is easy to read with speed, distance, time, calories and pulse rate. I’d definitely recommend it.

    I felt it very important to do this review, because I think this has been the best money I have ever spent!!! I had an elliptical for a few years,it was given to me so it was used. It broke earlier this year and I was crushed. The really good ones are very expensive so I thought about a bike. I spent about 3 hours online looking over many websites for the best deal. I have so found it!! This is a great bike. First of all, I went with the super saver shipping and it arrived 7 days earlier than expected, which was great. Secondly, it took my husband about an hour to put together and he said it was really very simple and commented on how well built it was. And lastly, riding it is a dream come true. It is very sturdy and smoothe, and extremely quiet! For the price I am truly amazed at the quality of this machine. I would tell anyone out there looking for a great piece of equipment to go for this one!

    My husband, who really isn’t that handy, put this together in an hour. He said it was much easier than he thought. I’ve only had the opportunity to use it a few times as I’ve been busy….but I love it. It is soooooooooo quiet ….that was my biggest concern as I wake up before he does and our work out room is directly across from our bedroom. The only thing I would like are straps for the feet, but I might look into purchasing some. Otherwise, great deal!

    This arrived in flawless condition. Kudos to UPS and free 2nd day air courtesy of Amazon Prime. Aseembly took about an hour thanks to very clear instructions. The display has big characters and is easy to read. The display defaults to a scan mode, which cycles through the time, speed, calories burned, and pulse rate. Unfortunately, pulse rate takes 5 seconds to show up, by which time the display has moved on to the next function. Pulse rate can be manually selected. EDIT: pulse rate works fine in scan mode; you need to keep both hands on the handlebar sensors. Another note: the computer retains settings from the previous workout session. Press the blue “Scan” button and hold to zero out the memory.

    Resistance is changed by pushbuttons built into the handlebars, so you don’t need to bend forward to change it like some other bikes.

    I like the design of the seat adjustment. If you have more than one person using this bike you will like it too.

    The price is significantly lower than similar units found in department and sporting goods stores. In my opinion, it is an unbeatable bargain.

    My doctor suggested my getting an excerise bike after my knee replacement. The bike came quickly. I didn’t know the bike was unassembled and putting the bike together was painful. Adding to the discomfort, I am mechanically challenged. Thankfully, my 5 year old granddaughter was there to help put the bike together. The only problem I had was the connections to the display were broken and so that doesn’t work. However, the bike is much better than the one in physical therapy and I rub it in at therapy. I try to use it for an hour each day and it has helped restore motion to my knee. Thanks -
