Great bike for the price
I was debating on purchasing this one over the more expensive ones wasnt real sure how big the screen would be but it is nice size bigger than i thought it would be and the bike is sooo quiet and seat is comfortable i am really glad i went with this one. the only thing i dislike is the the knob for tension i think should be facing upwards and not downwards it makes reading the numbers hard nothing else,..

    Have bike will ride
    I really like this incumbent style exercise bike! I'm 4'8" tall. It's very difficult for me to find a stationary bike that I can climb up on safely. This style sits lower to the ground, doesn't have the big flywheel housing in the middle, and is sturdy enough that I don't feel like it's going to tip over. The seat can be moved up or back to accommodate different leg lengths. It doesn't take up much room, and it rolls on 2 front rollers making it very easy to move. It's the best purchase I've made in 2023 so far. I'm glad I bought it.

    Great product for a great price.
    Wonderful for quick exercise. Moves back far enough for a tall person (6 ft ). Enjoy the different levels for harder pedaling. Seat is a little firm but I use a cushion with it.

    Good bike for in door exercise
    I have been bought one for myself , it run really good . But when I reordered it for my mom for gift . The shop nearby very quick response and delivery at the same day . But the box have been damage , I couldn’t take it and have to let deliverer take it back . And now I have to waiting for refund so I can reorder the other one For user . I highly recommend . It on good price , only con that you have to move the chair by yourself , because it manual , not electric

    The Weslo recumbent training bike is a real value.
    I bought this very inexpensive stationary bike because of the inertia flywheel, the low cost, about $165, and the fact it was a recumbent. It was simple to put together and it is rugged in most places. It took me almost an hour to get all the attaching parts of the cardboard they were virtually glued to, but that is my only complaint in the assembly part. I've been riding it for three days and have an hour and a half and almost 30 miles logged, so I'm really on it a lot during the day. My history goes back with bikes to being a paper route boy when I was 13 and I rode the 50 mile race in Mexico once. Also, I have a lovely 12-speed French touring bike which is at least 30 years old.

    Very little resistance
    There is very little difference in the lowest and highest resistance settings. I’m just starting to work out again and have it on the highest level. My husband won’t use it because for him it has no resistance. If you are already in good shape I would not recommend. I’m trying to get back into working out and doing something regularly so it works for me...for now.

    Took a chance, it's pretty great!
    I was skeptical with all the paid reviews but, it's actually pretty great. Battery operated so you don't need a outlet. Sliding the chair back and forth does stick a little. They provide mechanical grease to help. There's no special programs or trainings on it. I like that I can literally sit and start pedaling. It does have a resistance knob which is okay for me since I'm slowly getting back into shape. The seat isn't the most comfy. I use a purple seat cushion when I ride to help.

    Best birthday present ever!!
    Love this bike, assembled in 40 minutes and adjusted seat (super easy). Solid construction and great value! I'm a walker and have suffered from shin splints, plantar fasciatas, and knee pain. This bike has given me freedom from pain. Rode 5 miles in 22 minutes, no impact, super comfortable seat! Thanks so much Wal Mart and Weslo for giving me my workout back!!

    Solid Product
    This is my second product sold by iFIT. I absolutely love the price point and how easy the equipment is to work. I love how easy it is for my 12 year old; even my 7 year old to change the settings on the bike. My 12 year old son is always encouraging us to exercise and eat healthier. With the great value at the price point, I am slowly building a small home gym for my family (mostly my son). This bike is great for people of all shapes and sizes. My 7 year old is a little too short to reach the pedals if sitting all the way back. (How do I change the seat?) with a twist of a knob, you can easily adjust the tension, from my kids to my mom (with her hands that can barely hold things). I recently found the iFIT app, and while this model doesn't have a spot for an iPad or phone, I simply prop the iPad up and follow along with the cycling workouts. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

    Amazing
    I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. This exercise bike is great!! This exercise bike is so convenient as I can workout at home and get my movement in even while watching television! I can ride this exercise bike for thirty minutes and only feel like I had been on it for five minutes. The petals petal soo smoothly. The seat is comfortable on the bottom which is of extra importance anytime you are on an exercise bike.

    Great, low impact bike!
    I love how efficient and sleek this bike is. As a busy mom who is still in school, I need to get a good workout in a short amount of time. It fits perfectly on the patio so I can watch the kids while I workout. I received this product for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review. I honestly love this bike!

    Great Exercise Bike!
    This has been a great exercise bike. It's a good bang for your buck! It only required one person to put it together and it was fairly easy. Once it's together it's easy to move from one spot to another with out help. You can adjust the distance of the seat, which I great, cause I have short legs and my husband has long legs. He is 6' and I'm 5'5. My daughter loves using the bike to help strengthen her knee for flag football and my son loves the ease of a quick workout while watching TV. Overall this has been a great addition to our household without much much space being taken up. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

    Great for at Home Workouts
    It came to my home packaged well. The instructions were clear and it was fairly easy to put together. The machine itself was been working out great. Ever since Covid started, I haven't been back to the gym and I was looking for something to use In the comfort of my own home. I love being able to get some exercise in whenever I have some time. The machine is sturdy and well made. The display window is readable and I can change the resistance easily. I like that it doesn't take up a ton of space and it can be moved. This recumbent bike is a great value. I received a discounted product in exchange for my honest feedback.

    Comfortable for lower back problems.
    This exercise bike offers all the basics at a great price point. The instructions are clear and easy to follow to put it together. It only took about an hour from unpacking to being ready to ride. It is easy to adjust the tension with the tension control knob, just turn it a little and it changes the resistance applied to the peddles. I have lower back problems and the position of the seat is very comfortable and I am able to ride 10 miles without discomfort or pain. It is also pretty easy to adjust the seat distance from the peddles, so not a big deal if there is another rider in the household that needs a different distance. When you climb on and start to peddle, the display is activated right away. You can set the display to show speed, distance, calories burned, or time. You can also set to scan through each of those, which changes the display every couple of seconds. There is a small space in front of the display to hold a book, e-reader or magazine (or even the remote control for the TV). So it is very easy to keep exercising while using entertainment to distract from the task.

    Great bike for post knee surgery
    I bought this bike to use at home due to this crazy pandemic and feeling more comfortable exercising at home than gym.I also got it to benefit from exercising post knee surgery and to be able to ride it like I do in physical therapy.I am also about to be discharged from my PT and I wanted a bike similar to one PT clinic had so I could make sure and fully benefit from conditioning my knee and cont. my rehab. I knew I was not ready for any spin bike or anything fully weight bearing and impacting equipment to exercise with, so this bike worked out perfectly for me. So far this bike has been great and everything I expected. Weight: One of my favorite parts is that its lightweight. So I can pull the bike out of the corner, exercise, and then put it back. Most bikes are so bulky and heavy That once you assemble it then you never move it. Easy to assemble w/detailed instructions: I like that everything came labeled in the manual as well as the screws and bolts. It took about 1-2 hours to put together. Built: The bike is well built and sturdy enough to hold my 220 lb husband as well as my toddler wanted to “play” on it (pull/tug on parts) that he shouldn’t and it has held up like a charm. Brand:I wanted a well established brand with a good reputation, which Weslo has! Operate- The pad automatically turns on once I started to perform one Rev on the bike. It will keep your time and distance if you stop pedaling to continue where you left off. Or else if you hit the mode button and hold down then it will reset everything and start a new ride. I like how it keeps track of everything (time, distance, speed and calories). The calories match up well to my Apple Watch work out. There is also a dial that can be turned from 1-8 to adjust the resistance; with 1 being easiest and 8 being hardest. The dial is easy to reach and to adjust to the setting desired. The bike can be rode without use of putting batteries in and monitoring anything Pedals:they have Velcro straps to inc/dec the size around my foot so I am the most comfortable when I am riding. The pedals are also very smooth turning when going slow or fast. I have had some bikes in the past that seem to “stick” during certain parts of revolutions. The pedals are also comfortable enough to be wore with/without shoes. Seat-It is firm yet comfortable. The leather on the seat is also well made and sown well. The seat can also be adjusted fwd/back depending on the length of your legs. Luckily mine and my husbands legs are relatively the same so we are not constantly having to readjust it. But if we did it is easy to do considering its lightweight. Rails:Can be used either in front or on the side if needed. I do not need to use the handles while riding the bike however they are useful when getting on/off the bike safely. This was a fantastic purchase and customer service.But overall I’m excited to be starting my new journey to better health and fitness. I was given this product for a reduced price for my opinion.
