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. The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

 Excellent Value January 11, 2008

My wife and I have been looking for an exercise bike that is comfortable for our backs and seats. Recumbents are good but the costs and space requirements have discouraged us up to now. The Stamina is economical, well made, silent, comfortable, and takes up very little room. It even folds if you want to gain even more space. I was a bit concerned about the bike because when it arrived the packaging was severely gouged (by a forklift?)but the inner packing is well designed and there was no damage. Assembly was easy and took approx. 30 minutes. There is a tool included that will fit all the screws and nuts used.
I have no way to tell how accurate the mileage, caloric, etc. readouts are but I don't find that a problem because I exercise by time and I can pace myself by the various levels indicated. It is quiet so it is easy to exercise while watching TV. We are very satisfied with this product.
Great Alternative to Big Expensive Recumbents . . . But February 4, 2008

As has been stated in other reviews, this has a weight limit of 250 lbs (I'm at 215) and people much taller than I am (5'10") may find the bike too short unless they drill a new hole to further raise the seat. However, it fits me, is stable and doesn't "moan". In fact the mechanism is very, very quiet.
I had a small Tunturi upright bike nearly 30 years ago but now felt that the semi-recumbent form of the Stamina In-Tone would suit me better at this age, and it does. Yes this is a "semi-recumbent" and fits about halfway between an upright and a full recumbent. I like this aspect of the design very much.
The unit is well built (better than I expected) goes together easily in a half hour ("tools" included) and while the seat is harder than I'd like, I just throw a towel over it and it's fine.
A terrific value and a great alternative to big, expensive recumbent bikes.
UPDATE July 2008, I moved up to a much larger, more expensive, heavier-duty Ironman Charger (hey it was in the Gold Box!)
The Stamina is fine, but it is best if you really need the space savings or dollar savings. HTH
Great bike for the price! January 2, 2008

To begin with, the bike took only about 10 minutes to put together. It was very easy and required no tools apart from the screw driver/wrench which came in the box.
After it was assembled I hopped on, expecting a lot of noise from something that was so cheap. Nope, this is quiet. I like this bike! Yes, the seat does have a wobble when you peddle faster; it is not as sturdy as one of those big monsters that cost hundreds of dollars. But the pedal action is smooth, and the electronics work even when you pedal backward.
I bought this specifically for my game room. I wanted something to sit on while watching television in the evenings instead of just vegging. This bike fits the bill perfectly. When I'm done it folds up compactly and securely - there is a pin which you insert to hold it folded (unlike my beloved Gazelle, which pinches my fingers every time) - then rolls into the closet.
You could get a better recumbent bike - no question. But you're not going to touch one for only $139.00. This is a great deal.
Best Ever Exercise Bike January 22, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I really like this bike. It is comfortable, compact, and extremely quiet. Unlike another recumbent bike I have, it does not hurt my knees or my back or take up too much room in a small apartment. It enables me to get a good workout in spite of rheumatoid arthritis, which somewhat limits my exercise options. It is easy to move and put in storage if need be. I was planning to fold it up and put it away between sessions, but it is so small I can just leave it out all the time. It was pretty easy to assemble; I did it myself in about an hour. The directions were clear and everything fit where it was supposed to go.
All in all, I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs a pleasant, convenient, and effective form of exercise.
Can't be beat!!! January 25, 2008

Between running and using the elliptical, I was looking for something different to add to my workout but didnt want to spend the money or space for another large machine. The elliptical was over $700 bucks. After reading the reviews (Amazon reviewers are awesome.) I figure I can give it a try.
Pros: Price
Very easy to set up, a few bolts for the legs, seat/seatback, and handle, and pedals and thats it. The unit pretty much comes almost completely assembled.
Very quites and smooth - I don't think its a magnetic drive since you turn a knob for resistance. The Conosole shows the typical miles, time, RPM, etc and does not adjust resistance with it.
Easy to fold up. Takes up very little space.
Cons: Yes, the seat post does wobble a bit if you ride hard.
The pedal are smaler than the typical bicycle pedals.
The seat post is a pain to adjust (will need silicone lube like other reviewer says)
I've been on it for 40 minutes each night since I got it this week and have build up a sweat during the workout each night.
Even with the cons, I would still recommend getting it for the value/price. Can't be beat. Think of it as 3-4 month gym membership.
