Frame - lifetime, parts - one year About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Summary: A great buy for our daughter 2008-04-28
Comment: We bought this for our daughter who is not able to go to a gym yet because she needs to lose some weight before she can walk farther without running out of o2. We bought it on March 09, 2008. She is making wonderful strides and really is focusing more on eating right, losing the weight, and regaining strength as she has now been doagnosed with Diabetes II. This unit was relatively easy to put together (occassionally you need another pair of hands) and it is totally holding together although she is beyond the "recommended" max weight. The price is fantastic and is less than anywhere else I looked for it. She has not said anything about any extracurricular noises and the way the seat and handles are set up it is so much more comfortable than the ones where the handlebars are above the level of the seat itself. This is a blessing since her derriere and hips are in need of a little extra room. Unless she tells us otherwise anytime soon I highly recommend this recumbent bike to anyone. Oh and it looks and feels sturdier than the more expensive "name" brands. Good luck and happy cycling!

Summary: ARRIVED IN PERFECT CONDITION! 2008-02-02
Comment: I'm sorry to hear others have had problems with the a few of the bike's plastic pieces being cracked upon arrival. (I am happy to see that the company's customer service has responded by replacing the problem pieces.)
I must have been living on lucky street that week because my bike arrived in 5 days in PERFECT CONDITION! (Maybe folks who are satisfied haven't bothered to write the majority of this bike's reviews?)
I would quickly like to echo a few points from previous reviews:
The bike has an EXCELLENT variety of workout plans from easy to advanced. The bike works FLAWLESSLY in conjunction with these controls and they are extremely easy to master. (I was "test riding" within about a minute of assembling the bike-- without reading any instructions at all.
The assembly instructions do leave a lot to be desired. As noted in another review, about 2/3rd's through the assembly, you are told to place a protective sheath on the front of the machine as a prelude to several other final instructions. What they DON'T tell you is the protective sheath is ALREADY SCREWED IN and NEEDS TO BE UNSCREWED and REMOVED to finish the final installation instructions. (How weird!) Overall, I recommend a friend help (if at all possible.) One person can do it-- but (2) people are ideal-- as the bike is heavy too.
Otherwise, the bike stands up to any bike at any gym I have ever belonged to! As long as you take your time assembling the machine (and it does take patience at certain points)-- I suspect you'll get years of use from this bike.
Finally, the seat is very comfortable (remember to tighten the positioning knob when you find your desired position before beginnning your workout) and the bike is WHISPER QUIET-- which makes it perfect for apartment use.
I bought it as a Gold Box special (which was a STEAL at $299) but I already have a friend who bought one for $399 and thinks it is worth EVERY penny. (I do too!)
No tax, FREE shipping and DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR? Please! I'd like to see another retail outlet beat that!

Summary: Great bike for the price! 2008-01-30
Comment: We purchased this bike on a "Today's Deal" for only $299 so I thought the bike would be pretty low quality. However, I am really surprised at the quality of the bike--it is almost as good as the bikes at the gym. Ours also arrived with some of the plastic covers broken and cracked in a few small places, but for $299 I was not going to send it back for some very minor cosmetic defects. I would recommend this bike to anyone who wants a quiet, comfortable bike at an excellent price.

Summary: Great Recumbent Bike. 2008-01-25
Comment: I ordered the bike on 1-18-2008; it arrived on 1-23-2008; 5 days... not bad. The bike was left at the door before I arrived home. No problem since my wife dragged it in the house. I was concerned that it may have been damaged since there was a couple of significant holes in the box.
I carefully unpacked everything the next day and it appeared undamaged. A bolt, nut and washer was loose in the bottom of the box. I discovered later they turned out to go to the front of the bike under the plastic housing. They must have worked loose during the shipment.
The bike went together fairly easy. The directions for the most part are well written with the exception of a few typo's. The added illustrations are also helpful. The last step in the directions could have been written a little better since the plastic housing needs to be removed to correctly install the piece that fits over the sleeve. This is not mentioned in the directions.
The owners manual comes with some useful illustrations of stretching exercises that can be very beneficial before using the bike. The bike itself is a solid construction and quiet during operation. The blue screen is easy to read and seems to work quite well when programming different fitness levels.
I did some research on recumbent bikes before this ordering the Health Trainer 660R. The Schwinn 231 gets rave reviews but is about $200 more in price. The Health Trainer 660R has just as many features and a better warranty.
My family and I are quiet satisfied with the bike; it's a great piece of equipment that was sold at a reasonable price. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality recumbent bike.

Summary: Arrived broken 2008-01-25
Comment: I saw the other review that mentioned broken pieces and still ordered because I figured it was an unlucky shipping problem. However, it seems to be a serious inadequate packing or construction issue. Mine arrived with no damage to the outer shipping box, but when I opened it, two parts of the plastic case were broken, and a metal piece was bent, making the piece unusable.
