I bought this a couple of months ago. Not expecting much for this price. But this thing is still working good for me and my wife. We are both under 180lbs (it labels ‘not for use over 250lbs’) and 5-8″/5-10″ tall. The seat is good for us, after a first-time ache use…

There is no light on the display, but the (ordinary) light in our room is sufficient to read the panel.

a great starter machine

I had read reviews about the bike being wobbly, or difficult to put together, or not having the ability to select a display other than scan. The bike I got had very minor shipping damage which does not appear to impair the bike’s performance, or its useful life. The bike’s four floor pads are designed so that if it wobbles, simply rotate the floor pad to eliminate the unwanted movement. The electronics are simple to operate, and yes, you can choose which aspect of your ride you’d like to moniter. (ie. time, distance, calories burned, heart rate, etc.) I am 5′9″ and weigh 240, the bike is a good fit for me and supports me sturdily as I ride. If it weren’t for the shipping damage, the bike would be perfect.

The seat is just slightly wobbly at times but still seems stable. Otherwise, it’s a very good buy, quiet and reasonably comfortable but I am 5′6″ and 120 lbs. I can’t say what it would be like if I were a really big person. I would recommend it overall.

I purchased this bike about one month ago, and I am very pleased with it. I had my boyfriend assemble the bike for me, so I can’t really comment on whether or not it was difficult to put together. I can see how the bike would be difficult to use for people who are shorter. I’m 5′9″ and I had to put the seat down to one of the lowest notches in order to use it comfortably. The only thing that I didn’t like about the bike was that the seat was uncomfortable for the first couple uses. Thankfully, it only took a couple hours of riding to break in the seat.

Overall, it is a very smooth and quiet ride. It’s also very sturdy. That, along with the preset programs and various resistances, gives you a great workout. Of course, there are better bikes out there, but this bike does a great job and can’t be beat for the price.
