Body RiderBRF980, Upright Air Resistance Fan Bike with Curve-Crank Technology and Back Support

By purchasing this product I have been able to exercise more often which is very important to my health . The equipment allows me concentrate on my legs , upper body or both at the same time .

This is the perfect size stationary exercise Fan Bike for a home if space is an issue. I have to say that I was expecting something less in quality for what I paid. The structure is solid and comfortable. Unlike what they claim of use for those 5.0' - 6.1' in height, I would correct that to say up to 5'8". Beyond that, you cannot get the proper full extension for pedaling. You will need some open-end wrenches and a few sockets with a ratchet driver to build this. The tool they supply is of no use. As long as you are mechanically inclined, you should be able to build it in 1 hour. While building it or once finished, don't forget to grease the moving parts for a smooth operation. Also recommended is to apply a dab of electrical protection lube to the battery terminals of the computer to protect it from leaking batteries. All batteries eventually leak and cause corrosion. Worth the money.

Good product for the money

My son assembled it for me, pretty easy took about 1 hour. I just love it I'm 72 years old and exercise at my Senior Center but the lines are sometimes long waiting for a machine. So decided to get my own after a lot of research.Hint, I watch on You Tube videos like biking through Tulips field in Holland, Ireland, or even a Kayakinmg video of Alaska. Enjoy quality I rate 10+.

I'm actually Blake's wife. I'd prefer that the seat move forward more, but it's not a deal breaker. I also would have liked it better if the seat frame wasn't at such an angle, so I could sit forward more, as I'm 5'3", and it's a little bit awkward, but not a deal breaker. Seat is not the greatest, but if I wanted perfection, I'd have spent $1000 on a bike.And all you people complaining about the noise, it's no different than our last bike, and with headphones in, I can't hear it anyway. I'd prefer to give it 4.5 stars, mostly for the slight awkwardness of use, but there ya go. *shrug* I'd buy it again. We'll see how long it holds up. Our last one was $89, and it lasted 20 years. If this one lasts even half as long, I'd be happy.I also wish the digital readout had more contrast, but I can see it okay. Love the fact I can put my tablet on it and read a book if I don't feel like watching TV.Update (7/17/20) - The resistance mechanism is now causing problems. Don't know yet if customer support will help us with this or not, so I'm reserving dropping the 4 star to 3 til we get a hold of them. The mechanism is starting to grab, and also increasing the resistance by itself. I had to turn it down 4 times yesterday. We've been using the bike regularly since around the beginning of May. The mechanism is also making the most horrible grinding racket. Update on customer service and repairs at a later date.Update (7/27/20) - little bits are starting to come off the bike. The resistance has a mind of its own, and is noisy as all get out. Nobody answers the phone at customer support, and if you go through the website, they seem to add a new request for information on a daily basis. While the requests are not entirely unreasonable, I'm half considering trying to return the bike for a refund. I really didn't want to spend $1000 on the Assault, but now I'm starting to wonder if this is a case of you get what you pay for.Update (11/8/2020) - after many emails shunting us off, and no call from tech support, and return window has passed with no response from vendor, we're out the money and had to scuttle the bike.Update (1/4/21) - They sent us another body, not another bike, mind you, and it broke down after a week. We're done. Going to spend more money and get a gym quality bike. $300 for a piece of junk. And btw, they don't have a tech support group, and no phone number to get a hold of a human. Just a bunch of BS emails.

The product sounded like a good choice for an older person. We hired a professional to put it together and he said the tools provided were inadequate. After only 2 weeks of use there are squeaks and grinding noises that keep getting worse. The manual is no help because it's only about assembly. There is basically no trouble shooting information. I don't even know if I can use a little oil. Questions must be emailed and a response is due in 24 hours but they are not open due to the virus. This model does not appear on the company web site either.

I injured my knee and can’t exercise. Until I bought this bike! I use it everyday and I get my daily workout without hurting my knees or bad back. I’ve lost weight and I feel great! I’ve recommended this bike to all my girlfriends! Best comfortable recumbent arm bike exercise I’ve ever had! Well… for the price!

I am 72 years old with not a bit of mechanical ability. I put this exercise bike together in 2 1/2 hours...(including a few 'scratch the head moments' and a couple coffee breaks). The instructions were extremely easy to follow. I am enjoying the comfort of the bike and the monitor readings help me control my effort (or lack thereof). Very happy with this purchase. Would purchase again.
