Manufacturer's Warranty
Thirty-year warranty on frame, three-year warranty on parts and electronics, one-year warranty on labor and wear items About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

 Dont buy used January 9, 2009
The product I bought works overall good however it's not anything near looking new....very much used. It appeared that it came from a gym, the seat was torn, the peddals are worn and the turbine blades smell of sweat when using this bike.
 Exceeded Expectations January 6, 2009
My new exercise bike has exceeded my expectations and is proving to be of great value to my fitness program.
OMG! I HATE to exercise but love this bike! January 4, 2009
If I would give this bike 10+ stars I could!
I absolutely despise exercise. It is just plain boring. However, I love to play sports (tennis is my favorite) and I am not in terrible shape just bad shape. I started using this bike when I developed "neck issues" about 8 years ago in PT. Loved it so much that I bought one then and have been on and off of it again and again. This time I will stay on....lol. My neck issues are not so apparent when I do ride it frequently. I have also been a member of about every health club in my area. The other machines loose appeal after about a month.
Assembly isn't that bad. Just lay out the pieces and imagine how they fit together over a cup of coffee. I had it together in 45 minutes and my husband was speechless. As I ride my bike, I stare at my husband's Erg rowing machine. Bike is way more fun!!!
ps: as for the seat....yeah terribly uncomfortable. I have tried every bike seat in the house (8) and a few bought ones. They are all uncomfortable after 20 minutes. I put the original Airdyne seat one on my mountain bike and you should see the looks I get. It is kinda funny looking with the huge seat, but it is more comfortable there than on the Airdyne.
Love my bike and will never get rid of it!!!
i love it December 25, 2008
I love this bike. it was easy to put together, the seat is vary comfortable to sit on, and when you pedal the fan keeps you cool. Great bike!!!!!!!!
Overall - good product December 22, 2008
Other reviewers on this particular product have indicated difficulties with the set-up. The instructions are not entirely clear and take some things for granted, however, you can set it up yourself at a "relaxed" pace (about 2 hours).
The bike arrives well packaged from the factory, with fast shipment and it will take 2 sets of hands to get it out of the carton. I recommend using the brochures that come with the bike as a backup to view the product as your assembling it; they will help. (The illustration on the instruction sheet is somewhat deficient. Three notes: The instructions are not clear on the handle set-up. Look at the brochure(s) for proper placement. Second; the instructions are not clear on the connection for the instrumentation unit. The connection is "on the hub" of the bike/wheel by means of a tab. The instructions mention nothing about the location/tab connection. Thirdly, have some lithium/white grease available to aid in the assembly of the pedal rods/handles.)
One or two things were trial/error - but certainly doable. The good news is: Once completed, you may wonder why you had problems with the assembly.
The actual working of the bike is nothing short of a smooth operation. After assembly, you will enjoy the ease of use and will note that as time goes by, you continue to improve both distance and time as you use the bike. I brought the bike from home to my parents house for the holidays to continue my daily routine and I am working on them to purchase one. Both my parents are older and are in need of a machine with zero impact since my mother has had knee surgery and her level of mobility has suffered. My father relishes his daily walks, although weather frequently hampers/postpones his outings. So something like this should be just the ticket for the both of them.
Myself - I use the bike several times (1-2 miles/use) a day and it has improved my leg circulation/level of energy. This was my primary reason for the purchase of the bike; improved circulation.
Overall - I am quite pleased. Though the "fan" is a "bit" noisy, other posters mention the "breeze" created by the blades. (It is not obnoxiously noisy; it is after all, just a large fan.) The breeze is a nice touch and a welcome relief during the course of your workout.
I imagine we will purchase one this week.
