   I have always disliked stationary bikes. But this caught my eye because it combines pedaling with arm motion for a greater workout. I was looking at stationary bikes because (1) I am rehabbing from 4 ankle & lower leg fractures and I need something to break-up scar tissue in my ankle joint post-surgery; and (2) I’ve gained 30+ lbs since the initial injury and I need to burn calories.This model seemed to have good reviews for the price, so I rolled the dice. Spoiler alert: I’m glad I bought it.I’m 6’ 3” & am currently around 235 lbs. This bike fits me fine – plenty of leg room & plenty of height. I like the fact it isn’t motorized & resistance is created through a belt-driven [front wheel] fan. Also, no motor means no AC adapter hence no cord and no need to place this near an electrical outlet. Though I feel a bit like a hamster, it’s actually not as easy to “spin/pedal” as one would think – it’s a good workout especially if you incorporate some sprints. And the fact it doesn’t have a motor is one less thing to worry about wearing out (a belt can be replaced if it breaks). And believe it or not, I like the air movement created by the fan – it’s keeps it fresh and a bit cooler.Two other pluses: (1) it has an extremely small footprint. Though the measurements are in the item description, I was skeptical – I thought the elliptical-like handlebars would give the unit a bulky feel. I was wrong, it’s really not obtrusive in the least. (2) The other plus: it’s lightweight. Even when assembled, if I ever decide to move it up (or down) stairs, my wife and I can easily transport it on the stairs.Assembly wasn’t too, too bad. Most of the hardware is already attached to the unassembled components (this makes it VERY easy to ID the hardware as the cardboard hardware card only has ~ 8 bolts). I will say that the included assembly tools, notably the “spanner wrench”, are barely adequate at best. If you have a metric wrench set or a combination wrench & a metric socket set, you’re better off using your own tools to attach the pedals (I tried using the included tools and this was the most time-consuming assembly step until I decided to use my own tools). Besides the front & bottom support/stand, just about everything else is tightened with an allen wrench (the display has four phillips head screws). Oh, one more thing – though the instructions recommend a 2-person assembly, one person can accomplish it. Though not perfect, I have definitely dealt with worse assembly instructions (I give these a B-).One must acknowledge, this is an *entry-level* exercise bike. The materials and construction are fine, but it’s nowhere near commercial quality or even that of a high-end exercise bike. And it cannot be this level of quality at this price point! The “screen” is basic and not really a screen – it is barebones (a digital number readout display) & not backlit (the photo is misleading – the colorful target heart rate graphic is a *decal* – it’s not a screen and there is no heart rate monitor which might exclude some from considering it). And there is no programming … no preset exercise routines b/c this doesn’t have a motor (remember – it’s belt-driven). But as I previously mentioned, you can incorporate sprints if/when you choose to.In summary: if you desire a basic, entry-level exercise bike – this is decent quality and a step above the cheaply made sub-$200 models. It’s a good starter exercise bike, and it’s good for someone who doesn’t know how much they’ll use an exercise bike so it’s good to try this before you drop the big buck$. For me, I bought this for rehabbing an injury and to burn some calories while I’m healing. However, I like it enough that I plan to keep using it and incorporating this into my regular exercise regimen. At this price point: you can’t go wrong.
