Comfort at Last!!
In the hopes of helping someone, I am going to be painfully personally honest.... I am over 250lbs and have been searching for a bike that does not send searing pain up my tail bone in five minutes. Well, I found it! I love this bike and for the price I feel it has to be one of the most comfortable seats out there for bigger sized people, the seat is not like the little seats on most exercise bikes, it is 15" at the widest and almost 11" to the front. Recumbent bikes of course have nice seats but due to a lot of metal in my rebuilt ankle I am unable to perform the dorsiflexion and plantar flexion that a recumbent requires. So, back to the bike at hand, it was super easy to put together ( I have included pictures) of parts, accessories and finished product. It is also pretty easy to move (which I had to do a lot for all my holiday parties). I can see where someone with shorter legs might have a little stretch, I am 5'8" with an inseam of 34" I have the seat on the second to the lowest level but of my course my knees do not fully extend and also, some may be able to just sit near the front edge of the seat whereas I am fully on it. The seat as I have it is, approx. 31" high from the floor and some people with mobility issues might find it difficult to mount/dismount. It is just like getting on to a mans bike (swinging your leg over) because especially for people of size, there is not a great deal of room between the seat and the frame. Don't get me wrong, it is a comfortable enough space to ride but not step through (in my opinion) . As for the stability and durability, seems great to me, very sturdy and does not make me nervous in the least and I am looking forward to a much healthier future with a machine I can actually use. I truly hope this helps someone. ; )
