CURSOR FITNESS Recumbent Exercise Bike, Stationary Bikes for Home with Adjustable Seat, 16-Level Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Exercise Bike for Home Gym Cardio Workout Training

I purchased this bike after having 3 hip surgeries and 1 knee surgery over the last 9 years. My orthopedic doctor told me that I could never run again (unless I wanted a hip replacement) which was a hard "no!". So, after my most recent surgery I started looking into alternatives for cardio besides running and found this recumbent bike. I was looking for a bike that my husband could also use. However with him being 6'2 and 240# it wasn't an easy task finding something that he would be comfortable on too until I came across this one. This got excellent reviews and I have to agree with all of the good reviews that I read. It was relatively easy to set up and you can tell is made well and very sturdy. This bike is easy to operate and very comfortable to use. I get a great workout with it while it is easy on my knees and my hips. I would recommend this to anyone who is considering purchasing a recumbent bike. This bike was a great addition to our basement exercise area and it's a great way to continue to stay active and healthy.

I am really happy with this bike. Especially for the price! It took awhile to put together but it was not hard. I was able to do it myself. I was concerned about the quality but it is great!

I purchased this after my orthopedic doctor recommended that I exercise and gain strength before my hip replacement surgery. It will also be a part of my physical therapy after. It was pretty easy to put together with two people. Instructions were simple, but understandable and easy to follow. Took about an hour from unboxing to testing. The bike is sturdy and comfortable. The large padded seat is great - I can workout for 45 minutes without any discomfort. The resistance is super easy to adjust. There are 16 levels of resistance, but I’ve only explored three so far. It is quiet and doesn’t disturb anyone in the room while I’m working out. I am the only one who is using it so I don’t have to adjust it, but the seat, back, and peddles are easy to adjust as needed. It also has a great data module that shows Time, Speed, Distance, Odometer, Calories, and Heart Rate. I also track with my Apple Watch and the data is similar. On top of the display is a small holder that comfortably holds my iPad or iPhone. Makes it easy to read or watch something as I workout. Great value for the money. It’s exactly what I need.

Today is Day 1 of full use. Received yesterday; box and parts were well packed and packaged. * It took about an hour half to two hours to put together. Watched a YouTube install video beforehand, played while putting the bike together as well. Helpful and easy. The manual print was small so it helped to have the video. * Parts appear to be well made. When put together, the bike is lightweight but sturdy. * Easy to move around. We have laminate flooring, waiting for the mat to arrive. * I am 5’4”, husband is 5’8”. Seat adjusts well. Perfect for short or longer legs. The seat is a little hard but comfortable. However, if you have thinner bottom you may need to add a gel cushion. * There is zero noise (at this point) while spinning. * The display has a scan mode or you can select a constant mode. I can also place my iPhone/Galaxy s22 or my 15 inch laptop on the holder while spinning. *Overall on Day 1 this recumbent bike fits our needs and functions well. ONLY CON - thus the 4 stars - is the tension. It doesn’t feel very strong. Feels mid at its strongest. Zero is no tension, 10 feels like there is a little resistance but still smooth pedal, 13-16 feels a little more resistance but not struggling. At this point, we would recommend this bike for home use to start a home program or extend your workout from the gym. IF a strong tension/resistance is not your concern- but movement is - then this recumbent bike is for you.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I picked this product for its price and simplicity. Reviews indicated assembly was rather easy and some users indicated assembly via a YouTube video - WATCH THIS when assembling! Instructions are okay but photos are very small. YouTube video made this a very simple assembly. Bike is manual with adjustable tension. Needed for daily PT for husband who is disabled. Quiet, comfortable, stable, and easy to move. So far so good!

I got it put together but I had to buy some extra screws to finish, some were missing. Well, it's finally put together except the pedals. I can't get them to fit, had other people try to put them on for me with no success. I can't use the bike without pedals so I'm going to have to figure out something to replace them with. I'm a Senior citizen on a fixed income and I thought this would be good exercise, but no luck. I wish I had not bought this bike.

Item is heavy and well boxed. Instructions were hard to read per very small print. Parts were cumbersome to identify for correct location. I found a video online but it was not the same model, but did help a bit to identify parts of the assembly. Hardest assembly was the front neck support to attach a small wire assemble for the resistance adjustment. The resistance adjustments are limited, but maybe I did not get it together properly. No way for me to tell. The product quality is mostly stable and firm. Could be rocky/tippy for some. Best placed on a solid surface. The units stability as an exercise device is good but, I would say it is not for extreme use. The Display for me is not to my liking. It is not Back Lighted, making it somewhat difficult to view, but displayed items are in large characters. I will use it as a senior, as part of my exercise routine. We will see who holds up longer.......

Out of the package and setup in an hour and a half taking my time. Assembly is straightforward and streamlined with the blister pack layed out and labeled with step by step individual cells that coordinate with the instruction manual. Smooth action on the magnetic drive with easily adjustable click wheel resistance. I like that the LCD cycles through all values giving you an overview while giving the ability to manually cycle through and monitor individual stats. For functionality, sturdiness and a good price this is a great buy!
