Very nice bike. I highly recommend this bike for any level of fitness. It is so easy to use and easy to get in and out of.

Though it says "two person assembly" I (5'2 220lbs) did it myself with very little difficulty in a little over an hour. This machine adjusts very well to accommodate this short, "big boned" (lol) woman. I use the games feature a lot and before I know it 30-45 minutes have gone by. I've had the machine assembled for about 3 weeks now, and it's attributed to about a 25lb weightloss. I am very happy that I chose this model, because I got a couple of the ifit workout cards to use with it also. I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!

Product seems rugged, but mine was welded together with the legs out of alignment in the front. It also came with a broken plastic cover that I glued in place rather than wait for a replacement. Despite these problems, the bike is fun to use and definitely builds up a sweat. I just wish the quality control was better on the build. From what I read, it was built in China. If there are other bikes with similar features in the same price range, I would probably be inclined to look closely at them before buying this one. Another note, the controls on the bike take a little getting used to. Set up with IPOD style navigation. Personally, I would have preferred straightforward buttons to gliding my finger in a circle until I get the right menu item. It is too easy to glide past the item you want to select.

This is a great bike for the money. The only con I have is that the touch screen is very touchy. You also need an AC adapter to plug it in as the batteries do not last long. Overall, I would highly recommend.

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of this bike for the money. It is very sturdy, has an oversized, very comfortable seat and has some neat features such as the built-in games, ifit card support and mp3 player connection. The only dislike is the control panel navigation but that is fairly minor in comparison to the other features.

Daily comfortable exercise for 20-40 min. Quite happy overall but recommended 4 D batteries don't last long. When I called company to order AC adapter I was told it is now on sale for around 30 dollars. Originally was 79 dollars!! Ridiculous!
