Sunny Folding Recumbent Bike

Well, before purchasing this product, you have to know about your height. 5-03, that''s my height. After assembling and ready to ride, I realized that my feet were not long enough to reach the pedals... I disassembled the back supporter and handles attached to it and shifted down the saddle and finally I made it! However the plastic part between the saddle and metal is getting damaged every time I use the product because my weight bears down on it. It''s too troublesome to disassemble again and pack it up because it takes too much time so I decided to keep it. Anyway, when you buy this product, make sure you''re tall enough to use this bicycle. One more thing:

I thought the span of the tension control is too easy for me; the highest number is like climbing the stairs at home it is very mild. If you hope to excersise very hard, this model is not for you.

I like the design because it takes less space and is easy to assemble. Just again, measure your height and your legs.

I''ve been looking for an exercise bike within my budget, and finding one with a small footprint was even better for my crowded apartment. It took me about an hour to put it together (handlebars, seat, peddles), some of the bolts are in tricky places and the tools they provide aren''t the best, but it got the job done. I wound up taking off the handles under the seat, because unless you''re skinny, they poke into your legs with each peddle downstroke.

Pros: very quiet, doesn''t take up much room at all, easy to move and yet sturdy, fairly comfortable up to at least a half hour of sitting, and adjustable seat height (four settings) is plenty high enough for me, something I was concerned about at 5'' 11"

Cons: recumbent handles are too close to the seat for comfort.

Peddle resistance could be stronger although it''s not so much an issue until I build up my leg strength, and it is fine for my needs (encouraging myself to exercise while watching TV, instead of sitting on the couch). There are 8 settings, 1 is no resistance at all, I usually have it set on 5 or 6, and bump it up to 8 towards the end of a half hour session.

All in all, a great little bike and you can''t beat the price.

I want to start off with something that concerned me prior to purchasing the height adjustments on the bike. Because everyone is proportioned differently, it''s extremely difficult to tell you if you''re tall enough, or too tall, without you actually sitting on the bike.

I''m 5''1, I fit on the first, and second height settings. Also; one reviewer said you had to have the bike on the second setting of 4 in order to have the back seat, or hip handle bars. That is in fact, not true. I have mine on the lowest setting, and have both the seat, and bottom bars attached.

Pros Quiet, Useful display settings of speed and distance etc, Doesn''t take up much room, Does exactly what it advertises.

Cons The seat, is extremely uncomfortable. Almost unbearable. After riding it (I usually go an hour) my pelvic bones are sore. I''m hoping over time I will get used to it, or I can purchase a seat cover because the padding on the seat just isn''t cutting it for me, being butt-less and all. Also, I found it to be quite heavy, so my dreams of moving it onto my back porch for some scenery is no bueno. ("Hey, just get a real bike and go outside!!!")

*Resistance wasn''t a problem for me, and with biking, it really shouldn''t be. All that matters is how quickly you''re peddling, and how long you do it for.

*I had no issues with my legs touching the hip handle bars, as I read someone else had.

All around I actually do adore this bike. It works, and I can work out while reading, watching TV, or screaming off the top of my lungs along with my iPod (Which I couldn''t/wouldn''t do in a gym)

First off, I would definitely recommend this bicycle! Okay, so I am 5''5 and I had NO problems reaching the pedals and pedaling comfortably. I don''t know about the others claiming they are 5''5 and how they couldn''t reach the pedals.

Pro:

Extremely quiet

Pretty affordable (even for a college student) $117

Easy to put together (depending how familiar you are with tools), took me 1 1/2 hours.

Very sturdy, doesn''t feel like it gonna break when you sit on it (I''m 170lbs)

Takes up SO little space. Being a college student, I live in a SMALL room and this fits perfectly. Folds up super easily too.

Cons:

HOLY MOTHER OF JEEZUS. The seat is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY uncomfortable. When I read the reviews about the seat being uncomfortable, I thought that they were being dramatic but holy seriously.... My butt and back hurt sooo much from sitting there. I think I''ll have to add a pillow onto the seat.

Again, like the other reviews said, the resistance is pretty much non-existent. But after like 5 minutes for me, my legs still start to burn.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this bike. The quality is so nice for the price. If I had to buy this bike again I would.
