I did quite a bit of research before buying this bike. I knew I wanted a recumbent bike, and it had to be under $***. this one had very good ratings and had all the features I wanted. It took me a couple of hours to put together, I did it myself. it was super easy to put together. All the wires are run thru the tubing and most of the nuts and bolts are already where they are supposed to go so you just take them off, connect, and put them back in the same place. The materials are VERY sturdy construction. One of the features that I really love is the coushy seat and the holder for your tablet. I have a kindle fire and watch videos while I am on the bike. The digital display works great but is pretty small. I find that I don't pay attention to it anyway. This bike takes up less room than I though it would and plan to put it on the front porch in the summer months. I need knee replacements so walking for exercise is not an option for me anymore and swimming would be ok but actually hurts as well. this has literally been a life saver. I highly recommend !!!!
