Well built, quiet and comfortable but.......................
Both my wife and I use this bike several times a week and overall we’re very happy with it. The machine is comfortable, stable and very quiet and for a relatively inexpensive machine it is very well built. Also, the assembly was straight forward and everything fit together well. However there are a few things you need to consider about the design of this machine before purchasing one sight unseen, especially if you’re older. The display is a little difficult to read if the room is not well lit but this is only a small inconvenience. The big issue however, which has been pointed out in other reviews is the difficulty with adjusting the seat. Three knobs to adjust a seat is ridiculous and on top of that they (adjustment knobs) are fixed under the seat so you really can’t adjust it while you’re sitting in the chair. If you don’t need to constantly readjust the seat, this will be a non-issue but in our case, we need different seat positions so we can’t use the same setting. To compensate my wife uses a thick pillow behind her back while riding on the bike so we don’t have to bother with the seat adjustment. All in all it’s a very good piece of equipment with the exception of the seat adjustment which really needs a redesign.
