Exerpeutic 400XL Folding Foldable Recumbent Exercise Bike with Pulse

Surpasses my expectation. Tried some exercise bike at Sears a few years ago and all hurt my knees. Maybe I was ignorant and they were adjustable or my knees are better. Anyway, this bike is adjustable, nice large seat and I love the tall backrest of the seat. Bending over a bike with rounded back is very uncomfortable to me. Whether the gages are accurate or not, I do not know, but it is encouraging to see the miles, accumulative miles of use, speed and calories burnt. Nice to know the pulse rate also. I would kiss the creators/manufacturers and if their was a fire I would try to take this with me! I am going right now to ride. I am 62 yrs old and have had trouble with walking because of weird soreness and tightness but am already in the first week riding 30 minutes at a time and everyday. Thanks! I am grateful. p.s. the price is well worth it! If nothing else, I feel great when I finish so that I want to do it again later or the next day for sure.

This is a very nice bike, easy to put together 45 minutes max. Good instructions. Very stable, nice comfy seat, nice read out screen. Quiet, smooth ride, easy fold away to save space. Great price and value. Good bike for weak back or knees. Ergonomically sound. Easy to reach pedals and controls. Do buy this bike!:-) great for all sizes children to large adult.

I sit all day at work and when I settle in at night to watch TV I sit in a nice recliner too. I bought this bike to exercise my legs while I watch TV instead. It is great! Super quiet and actually fun to use. I find myself now using it more than my recliner. This bike is perfect for watching TV. Because it is semi-recumbent it is easy to ride for hours and the display is low enough that it is not a distraction at all. The bike was easy to put together and is very solid. The pedal straps were a hassle and really not needed even at high speeds. The tension knob is easily reached and has a wide range of resistance. I also like the built in heart rate monitor. My only real complaint is that the seat is not deep enough. I'm 6'2" and the bike is plenty large in all dimensions other that that. The price is awesome and for $5 it was delivered to my house in just a few days after ordering.

Treadmill recently broke down and wanted to replace with a smaller piece of exercise equipment. The bike took a little over an hour to assemble. Most people should be able to complete in that amount of time. There are several adjustments for the seat height. I would probably not recommend for someone that is very wide\heavy as your legs may hit the side handle bars. When operating the bike it is very quiet, no noise at all. The display shows distantance, calories burned, time etc. I generally just like to check on how many calories burned. Also there is an adjustment with several settings to increase the tension. I leave it set up in the basement. I have not yet tried to fold it up. This is the first bike I every purchased so overall I'm happy with it, time will tell I guess.

Hi, I have only had my Exerpeutic Space-Saver Semi-Recumbent Bike with Pulse for a week. So far I love it, I wanted to find a way to exercise at home without spending money to go to the gym. I have a condition that causes me to have weak muscles and I have arthritis. I love the convenience, I can ride when I feel up to it, doesn't interrupt with noise while watching TV. It gives me something to look forward to, and I hope to see results of strength and getting in better shape.

Arrived sooner than stated at my local Walmart. The box is large but it fit into my RAV4 with the rear seats folded down. After waiting for 4 days for my hubby to put this together, I finally just did it myself in a little over an hour. All the screws, bolts, etc. are in the holes they belong to so you don't have to sift through a bag of screws, nuts, bolts, washers. Just remove the screw, bolt, etc., then attach the parts and put the screw, bolt, etc. back in and tighten. Instructions were very clear and easy to read along with the illustrations. All put together and unfolded, the bike fits nicely into a corner of my living room. The wheels don't work too well on my carpet so I just lift it and bring it to where my TV is located. I love being able to exercise while watching TV. I "rode" more than 10 miles and burned over 500 calories the very first time I used the bike (that was on the lower tension setting, however.) I have used the bike everyday and have lost 4 pounds in a week. I love this bike and would highly recommend it. It is a great value for the price.

This is a good home grade quality bike.I am 6'2 165 pounds and this bike fits me fine.The bike took me 10 minuets to assemble.It has 8 levels of resistance,okay for most people.I am on level 7 after 6 days of use.I will be at 8 in a few days.It is rated at 300 pounds,this does not seem accurate for a economy home bike?The Fitness bikes sold for 1,000.00 and up are rated at 300 pounds.Over all this bike is good for a person of average fitness level.

I bought this bike to build a gaming station. I liked that is did not have giant handles that would get in my way. I could slide it under my Ikea Jerker desk and peddle away while playing games on my PS3. It works great! The only problem is that after about 45 minutes the seat really start to hurt my back side. It is a bearable pain, and a reminder I should get up and go do something else. So for a short ride, 45 minutes or less, great! For the long haul, you will probably need a gel seat cover. I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Bicycle-Gel-Seat-Cover/dp/B000AO9NSG Hopefully it works.

I ordered the equipment because I used one similar for therapy after surgery. This is very easy to use and convenient to store. We were concerned at first with the packaged product because it looked all beat up when we opened the box. Did have all the parts though and it took about 30 minutes to assemble. Would recommend it also for the price.

The description for the Semi-Recumbent Bike said it would fit for someone up to 6'2" and 300lbs. I am 5'9" and this bike cannot be adjusted to allow me to exercise on this bike correctly. I am not able to stretch my legs out with only a small bend, my legs are almost at a 90 degree angle. I should have checked to see that the seat was adjustable with several adjustment options. I will injure my knee if I try to ride, therefore I will be returning to my local store and check to see what else might be available. I really wish it would work for me because I love the price and it seems very durable and would have been perfect for riding while watching TV or reading.
