I got a little worried when I removed the bike parts from the box. The hardware bag only had 4 screws, 4 lockwashers, and a locking adjustment knob in it. Then I looked at all the parts and I went uh-oh. After looking a little more closely I realized that most of the assembly nuts, bolts, and washers were already loosely installed where they belonged on the bike. This made the assembly as easy as it can get. Had the whole bike put together and tightened up in under 30 minutes. That being said there were 2 bolts missing out of 4 that hold the front handlebar in place. Hence 1 star off for that. Luckily I found 2 bolts the same size in my spare bolts drawer. For my initial trial ride I placed the bike in the upright position. Now I am 5'10" and I had to put the seat in the highest position to achieve proper leg extension. Taller folks might run into problems. I found the bike to be stable in the upright position on the carpet. I would not ride out of the saddle on this bike because the pedals are plastic. The computer display worked as advertised and was easy to read. As for seat comfort, I don't believe there is a such thing as a comfortable bike seat. The seat on this bike is ok. The underneath part is made of plastic, so here's hoping it's durable. My only complaint with this bike is the tension setting. There is no resistance until you dial it up to 12 or 13. I was aware of this before purchasing after reading reviews on Pleny's other stationary bikes. Still disappointing to find the same thing on their "premium" bike. Overall I am happy with the bike. I would recommend this bike to others. Would I buy it again? Hopefully I won't have to.Update 15 Oct 2018: The recumbent position desperately needs the seat angle to be adjustable. The back rest leans back wayyy too far. Felt like I was gonna flip off the back. Was too uncomfortable to ride in the recumbent position. Also wish the bike included a cup holder for a bottle of water.

Sturdy and Quiet
Im so happy with this Exercise Bike. It took a little over an hour to assemble and Im a 75 year old single lady. The instructions were large and clear. Picures with every step. I have a small condo and it fits in my living room nicely but can fold up to roll into the closet if needed. I got the pink and silver model and I ride it During a morning and then 2 evening TV shows that I like. Guilt-Free TV because Im adding 'steps' with my new indoor Bike instead of just vegging on the sofa. It's so sturdy, solid and quiet so I dont have to worry about making too much noise for the neighbor below me. Each morning I easily dislodge one of the 2 batteries and then quickly re-insert it to zero out yesterday's data. Thanks for the great bargain. Sandi in Vero Beach, Florida

Great value & easy assembly!
I love my new bike! I ordered it via Amazon Prime and it arrived on my door step as expected. Package was about 45 lbs or so, I was able to carefully maneuver it upstairs by myself (I’m a 28 yr old single female). I unboxed it and laid everything out, some hardware was loose in the box but all accounted for once I took everything out. Instructions were easy to follow, assembly also very simple. It comes with the tools needed to put it together, although if you have power tools you’ll definitely save yourself some time on assembly. Only issue I’ve had is adjusting it from the high angle to the semi angle , it’s not a smooth and easy adjustment and the knob gets stuck. But once I set it the way I wanted it I haven’t adjusted it since. Folds up all the way using that adjustable knob if you need to put it away, but it’s very compact, I leave it open. It’s easy to move around as there’s two wheels if you angle the bike when moving it around which helps transporting. The resistance bands are awesome, and overall I’m super happy with my purchase. Parked it in front of the tv and biked 10 miles last night! (Also my completed assembly photo it is in the high position).

This is a fabulous recumbent bike!
This bike is a lifesaver for me. I have heart & breathing problems and I am partially handicapped from 8 crushed vertebra. I am also in my late 70s. It is extremely sturdy which surprised me considering it is not large and folds (although with my handicap I cannot fold it so I leave it open). It does not move across the floor when I use it and it is extremely quiet. I am 5 ft tall (have lost 5 inches) with the seat in a recumbent position and on the lowest level it fits me (my inseam on my legs is 27"). I use it twice a day for 15min each. I put it in the corner of the living room and it looks fine. I am so happy with this and since I have had it a week I notice my breathing has improved. The only drawback for me is that I can't figure out how to set the odometer, etc. but I don't really care since I time my ride using a clock. I highly recommend this bike--it is a life extender.

Just upgraded!
I’ve been using my old PLENY exercise bike over a year. I like this brand. Their product is durable and reliable. So I ordered their new model to keep on my exercise. As it used to be, most of the hardware was put on where they need to be. They also provide Youtube assembly video which is very helpful. PLENY’s customer support is also very quick response to answer my questions. As it’s described, it can change to 3 different types, I like upright and recumbent type. The arm and leg resistance bands are also good to do stretch workout.The only thing that should be improved is when you use the leg resistance and hold the backrest to keep balance, the backrest will fold forward. I think it’s because they designed to be foldable. I think they can change it to be make it fixed when the bike is in use.Besides, It is very quiet when pedaling on it. Yes it can folded up and move it here and there, but I keep it opened most of the time. Recommend you all to have one.
