Body Rider Fan Bike

This exercise bike is a good value for the money. It is quite sturdy for an inexpensive bike, works well, and is easy to put together. I also like the handlebars, so my upper body can be getting a workout while I''m pedaling instead of just my legs. I got this bike because I needed to rehab my knee after having microfracture surgery. The only reason I can''t give this bike 5 stars is because of the hardness of the seat. Even though I purchased the Sunlite Gel Bicycle Seat Cover (which Amazon suggested in the Frequently Purchased Together section of the bike''s webpage) at the same time that I purchased the bike, it barely makes a difference. After 30 minutes of riding, I am literally forced to get off of the bike. I also put a thick towel on top of the Gel Seat Cover, and even with that extra measure, my butt and family jewels are rendered numb from the hardness of the seat. I probably should have done more research on seat covers instead of simply buying the one that Amazon suggested. If you buy this bike, instead of buying the Sunlite Gel Bicycle Seat Cover that Amazon suggests, do as much research on the seat covers as you do on the bike, and buy the cushiest one with the best customer reviews. I wish I would have done this originally, but I wanted to write this review so that others won''t make the same mistake.

I bought this bike after I found out that I have diabeties and the Dr wanted me to start exercising. I am heavy and was afraid it would not work for me but it was fine. Works really good. Love big seat for my big butt. Me and my special needs son put together and it went well. Light enough to move. Electronics arent great but the rest we like.

In all honesty im 6 Feet Tall and its fine i don''t see any problem with it, i read the other review about "it''s for midgets" and that not true. I have it on the highest seat setting and my knees still don''t hit the bars or my chest lol. Its a great bike... i would only recommend getting the gel seat cover they recommend to get, i think its called "Cloud Nine" Other than that your good to go. I also read that it''s a bit loud and that it makes it difficult to hear the TV at the same time your using the Bike. Well i have mine right in front of the TV and yes the bike makes some noise....but nothing to stress over, all you have to do is raise the volume a little and it''s good,the bike isn''t that loud. Now lets get to assembling part,oh wait i forgot to tell you there barely is any assembling to do, i put it together in 30 minutes and the instructions were good to me. The only thing i found tricky was putting on the left pedal, it screws on the opposite way of the right pedal. The only thing to put together is the Arm Bars,the 2 end bottom pieces,seat,pedals,the bar that connects the pedals to the arm bars and the timer/speed/calories. Come on people that''s not a lot at all the base of the Bike is in one piece.Well it''s a great bike to me and i hope this help you to make a better informed decision, I you ask me BUY IT NOW!!!

I have been using an exercise bike with dual arms for more than ten years and it was time to get a new one. I decided for this bike because of its features, good reviews and price.

During the assembly, the bolt connecting one of the arms to the link bar broke (very poor quality). We had to get something correspondingly from a hard ware store.

However, the main flaw with the bike is the wrong design: the seat position in relation to pedals is anatomically incorrect, so one keeps sliding from the seat during biking. The seat is very hard (this can be fixed by a cushion). The bike is not designed for a taller person (not eough space for the knees). The computer is in a low position, so it is difficult to see the display during biking. The bike is o.k. for doing exercise, but it would probably not last long.

For all these reasons, I decided to spend a little more money for a different exercise bike and returned this bike.

Bottom line: I should have tried to find this bike in a store and test it out before buying it.

At first glance, I loved the bike... and the price. Then I read some of the reviews and was concerned with the fact that some people thought it was "made for midgets". I am 5''10" so this was the only reason I started looking elsewhere. After reading reviews of several other bikes, I kept coming back to this one, and I am glad I did.

Some noted it took hours to put together... I am no dummy, but sometimes the common sense stuff eludes me. However, my husband and I put the bike together in 40 minutes while watching a movie together, so our full focus wasn''t on the bike. Went together easily directions and pictures were easy to understand.

As for the midget thing... again I am 5''10" and because of the reviews saying this bike wasn''t for tall people, my husband immediately put the seat on the highest setting. I could barely get on the bike and we ended up lowering the seat 2 holes to get the right fit. So, my assumption is that it would actually work for those taller than me.

The fan doesn''t really do a ton of cooling but 1) it''s winter, so I don''t care to be cooled, 2) the fan isn''t REALLY for cooling it''s for virtually unlimited resistance if you need a fan to cool you, buy a cheaper bike without the fan and splurge on a tower fan (see # 3) and 3) if I find it difficult to sweat while exercising (oh, the humanity!), I will get a tower/stand fan to put next to me while I exercise. Tension is easy to adjust with both the strap and the knob. The calories burned/distance/time display is easy enough to read... I still have young-ish eyes, but I am not going to stare at the thing while riding anyhow. The seat not the most comfortable, but I''ve sat on worse (cold, hard bleachers anyone???) and added the Mongoose gel seat to my order for more cushion.

All in all, very pleased with the bike!!!
