VANSWE Recumbent Exercise Bike for Adults Seniors - Recumbent Bikes for Home with Magnetic Resistance, Bluetooth and App Connectivity, Pulse Sensor

I was skeptical about this item due to the low price. However, I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and relative ease of assembly.Assembly: It took me about 90 minutes to assembly, 30 of which involved unwrapping the yards of tape, plastic, and styrofoam in which the bike is packed. The bike comes with a box wrench and combo Allen wrench/screwdriver needed for assembly. The most important tool for assembly however is a box cutter to open the box and free the pieces. The actual assembly was easy--in the first step, make sure to attach the two base pieces in the correct place. The one with wheels goes on the front with the wheels facing forward and slightly down.Bike: Once assembled, the bike is VERY sturdy and balanced. No movement front-to-back or side-to-side. There is a knob at the bottom of the frame below the seat that can be adjusted so there are five contact points to anchor the bike. You can easily move it by lifting the rear of the bike and using the small rollers on the front. This might be tougher on carpet as opposed to a smooth surface. The only flimsy part of the bike is the plastic monitor. The edge on top of the monitor fits a cell phone, Kindle, or tablet. It is not deep enough for a book. The footprint of the bike is great for a small space. I would guess you need a space about 3' x 5' to use the bike; 2' x 5' when it is not in use.Use: This bike is very quiet, as advertised. I use a fitness tracker so I have not connected the monitor to the apps noted in the instructions. I used the monitor to gauge speed. The resistance adjustment is pretty easy to access while riding and can be adjusted while you ride. One caution is that this is not a bike for someone six feet or taller. I am about 5' 9" in workout shoes, and there is only a couple of inches left to adjust the seat for someone taller. The seat is comfortable. The back rest is also comfortable, but gets warm. A mesh back rest would be a better design.Conclusion: I highly recommend this bike if you need a low-cost, high-quality recumbent bike, do not have much space, and want something quiet to operate.
