PLENY Foldable Semi-Recumbent Exercise Bike w/Full High Backrest, 330 lbs Weight Capacity

My condo is 648 square feet. I share that with a 6'5" husband and 2 dogs....and then, I tore (?), stretched (?) my ACL. At any rate, a once good knee now needs daily rehab on a stationary bike. I looked at dozens of stationary bikes on Amazon, thinking I'll just buy a cheesy one, use it until I'm done and then, send it off to Goodwill. I ordered this one. It's cheap, but it's not cheesy at all. It runs silently. It's sturdy. I love it. It's helping. I know it looks totally weird in the middle of our main room, but it's too good to get rid of even after my ACL is repaired. I like biking on the crazy thing. Gonna keep it and continue using it

Despite the included tools being somewhat useless (like the Allen Wrench/Screwdriver combo) the bike was fairly easy to assemble. After about an hour of attaching the front and back legs, the pedals and the seat and back; it was off to the races, and this bike does not disappoint. I used the bike for only 15 minutes but in that time my heart rate shot up to a good anaerobic beat and I could definitely feel the burn in my thighs and even lower abdomen area. While this may not have all the bells in whistles of a more expensive machine or the type of machine you'd find in a gym, it will definitely provide a good workout to anyone looking for something low impact and less damaging to your knees, hips and lower back.However, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because with the weight limit listed for this bike I was expecting a wider seat area and a wider/ sturdier base for the seat to attach to. I have read other reviews for similar equipment where the seat breaks after a while because it's not reinforced enough to handle the weight limit it advertises. Only time will tell if the seating will become a problem but for now I'm happy with the purchase.

It's not a recumbent, it's not a stand-up, IT'S A SEMI RECUMBENT. Best for the elderly.

I followed all the directions to put my bike together. Not as easy as some reviews said, but not the worst thing I've ever assembled. I got to what I thought was the very last step, only to figure out that the part I thought I had to install - the tension knob - was supposed to have been attached to the stem of the bike at the factory. It's got a little wire that controls the tension, but I have no idea of what it attaches to or how to do it. Apparently a few other people have had the same thing happen, and have said customer service is unresponsive. It's a shame, because other than that, it seems to be a very solid bike. If anyone else had this problem and were able to figure out how to connect it, please post something explaining how you did it! My bike is pretty much useless with no tension.

I gave it three stars because the adjustment dial came broken. I have it gorilla glued and taped until the glue dries. Other then that it was easy to put together. I did it by myself in 30 mins. It works well. Definitely worth buying. Just wish the dial wasn’t broken.

Got to installing the last part (the tension knob) and the directions didn’t have anything about it. Looking closely at the knob I realized that it had 4 screws attached to plastic prongs and the prongs were supposed to be on the inside of the knob. So I’m assuming that someone returned it after breaking the tension knob and just left the plastic prongs attached to the screws, and when it was sent back to amazon it was never repaired and sent out to me. I was really looking forward to the purchase, luckily it’s still able to use but won’t have proper tension. This also took an HOUR and a HALF to put together with two people when other reviews said it took 20 minutes. I would return this but honestly don’t want to spend the time to take it apart and repackage. If you take anything from this post...you get what you get what you pay for, and if you want a great quality machine for an avid user PLEASE look elsewhere!

So far so good. Easy assembly. Instructions could be reviewed. A few discrepancies. States two spanners (only one). Only one needed. If regular spanner does not fit try long handled spanner. After a week of using, still enjoying it. The only annoying thing for me is that when you fold it, you have to basically remove the locking knob and washer (my washer dropped into the space below and can't get to it). Suggest tape or glue for washer. Couldn't get it to fold otherwise.

This bike rode well once I got on it and it was cute that it was red. However, the handlebars were not as appear in the picture, they are more straight up and down and that is not ergonomic. It is also very high up and hard to get on. You have step way up and over the base of the bike and then stand on tiptoes to get onto the seat (I am 5'8" and all legs) as I do this the bike begins tipping backwards!!!! Very unstable and very spooky! This bike was returned after only two rides.

I have purchased a lot of products through Amazon and this is the first that I have to write a pretty negative review about. First, the bike did not arrive on the 'next day' delivery, despite giving that date at the time of order and in the Tracking application. Once the delivery time "by 20:00" was missed, a message apologised for the failed delivery giving a revised date of Monday. However it then turned up the day before i.e. Sunday. Fortunately I was at home to receive the package, but could have easily been out, expecting it to be delivered the following day as notified.More disappointing, was the fact that once the bike had been fully assembled, it was noticed that the resistance knob (Plastic) has become detached along one edge and on closer inspection, the plastic was broken where it connects into the handlebar upright. It looked intact and was only noticed when trying to turn the knob to increase/decrease the resistance to the pedals. This knob WILL become fully detached if trying to turn the knob and so this was extremely disappointing. The rest of the product looks sturdy and of a quality construction. I opted to try and glue this back in place, as there was no way that I was going to be able to take the bike apart and repackage it successfully for a return to Amazon/Manufacturer.If a defect had been discovered on ANY other component, the individual component could have been sent back for replacement, but given that this was integral to the main body of the bike, the whole unit would have to be returned.Please check that this part is SECURLY attached before you unpack all the parts and assemble the bike.

We bought this on 23 Feb and were in lockdown soon after. Being able to work out in our own hall (not a great position but shows how little room you need) has meant a lot in just letting off steam. The kit fitted together surprisingly easily. It can be moved about on its little wheels and it works well both for a fairly large man and for a smaller woman. The only niggle is the pulse monitor as it needs so firm a grip that my wife can't hold it hard enough.

Screws missing,Broken wiring for top screen,Metal splinters from rough metalHad to return

The bike works fine but nowhere mentions that you can't cycle standing and that's very disappointing... Also the seat is very rough and it hurts, should be a thicher seat, so we need to use a pillow.

Just what two octogenarians in isolation needed to get the circulation going.

Very solid and robust. A great buy!
