Sunny Health Fitness Programmable 16 Levels Electro-Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Exercise Bike with 24 Pre-Build Workouts and 300 lbs

I purchased this bike to augment the exercise bike I was using at physical therapy. It has only been 2 weeks, but I am really enjoying it. It came well packaged, and everything was included (including the tools needed for assembly). My son put this together for me and it took him about 2 hours. It wasn't very difficult. However, a couple of the bolts would not line up correctly and it took some maneuvering to get them to work without damaging them (or the bike) in any way. Everything else went together quite easily. The bike is a joy to ride. You have to either program a level yourself or use one of the preset programs in order to take advantage of the levels of resistance. Understanding the programming took me a little bit of time, but I managed to get it down. I think that the instructions could be a clearer on how to set the levels of resistance - it took a little trial-and-error to find out how it was done. The bike is very sturdy and solid. The seat is comfortable, easy to adjust, and locks in tight. Although, if you have more than one person using it, you might want to use a sharpie to mark the bar under the seat so that you know where to put it for each person. Pedaling is smooth and the bike is stable as I ride. I love the "shelf" where I can put my tablet and watch virtual bike rides as I work out. As I said, it's only been 2 weeks, but I am very pleased with the bike and would definitely recommend it. I will know more after a few months of riding as to how everything holds up. I hope that it lasts for years, but time will tell. Read more

After trying this model out at my physical therapist's office, I HAD to get one of my own! Honestly, I LOVE this bike! (I previously had a traditional, upright exercise bike that I rarely used because it was difficult to get on and off of it. Also, even though it had a "wider, more comfortable seat," it hurt my butt. Ugh!) So, THIS bike is not only easy to get in and out of (just step in and step out--no climbing), the seat is COMFORTABLE! It is like an ordinary lawn chair with a padded seat. JOY! As a result of the way more convenient and comfortable ride this bike offers, I look forward to exercising with it most days for 50-60+ minutes. Another really great thing about this bicycle is that you can still ride it when the power is out! The electronic programming will not work, of course, but the pedals and flywheel are operational. The programming is a bit complicated, but the bike comes with a concise instruction manual that helps. Once you get the basics down, it's easy. Assembly instructions are good, and all parts and necessary tools are included. Everything is wrapped separately and carefully to avoid any possible damage. The bike is quite heavy, so it really helps to have two people putting it together. After assembly is completed, the back of the bike can be easily lifted up by one person, using the built-in lift bar, and rolled into the desired room/position. There is a shallow shelf between the upper handlebars for a cell phone, tablet, or other skinny devise, and a water bottle holder on the main support tube. The seat distance is fully adjustable; I made marks for my husband and myself on the seat support slider with a Sharpie pen, so we can easily return the seat to the distance that fits us individually. Operation is silent. This recumbent exercise bike is one of the best investments we've ever made. Right now, the arthritis in my knees prevents me from walking or jogging for exercise, and this bike allows me to get the exercise I need and want without causing pain and further damage to my knees. (After surgery, I will surely continue using my bike.) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Read more

Easy to Assemble, comfortable, lots of options for workout routines, and Surface pro fits above the screen so I can work or watch shows while I ride. After 2 months of daily use the right pedal came off. I didnt use locktite or any thread locker on the assembly as I though it would not be necessary. Well the threads in the crank arm are now stripped and the threads on the pedal arent that great either. Customer service was quick to tell me this was an older design and that was a common problem. New Crank Arm, Crank Arm removal Tool, and Pedal are on their way. Total turn around time from call to package arrival looks like 11 days, which sucks, but at least i have a rower i can use for Cardio. I did ask, since this is a common problem can you please send the left crank arm and left pedal so I wont have to deal with this again. Nope. So I'm sure in 2 months we'll be dealing with this again is the thread-locker doesnt work. UPDATE - new crank arm and pedal arrived with a puller tool for the crank arm. I had to use my mini torch and beeswax to get the crank arm off. So I highly suggest using blue thread locker when installing the pedals and maybe you wont have this issue. Read more

This bike is what my physical therapist office had for the price. It’s unbelievable. I would think it would have a bigger price tag of $1000 more on it. It is so well-made, it comes together easily with 2 people . It’s heavy duty. It’s whisper quiet. It is my favorite new purchase! Read more
