Stamina 15-4600A Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike

Stamina's Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike offers a low-impact exercise machine for a workout of the major muscles in your hips, thighs, and buttocks.

The magnetic resistance is easily adjusted with a grip-edged, 8-position dial knob that can be easily reached and adjusted without interrupting your workout. A multi-function electronic monitor is easy to use and allows you to view speed, distance, time, number of revolutions, tempo, calories burned, and RPM while aero handlebars let you to choose from a variety of riding positions. The plush, cushioned seat gives you greater comfort while being adjustable to accommodate any height. Oversized foot pedals and adjustable foot straps hold your feet securely to improve your pulling motion while pedaling. This bike is a breeze to mount and dismount, and the compact design--in addition to wheels--makes it convenient to store.
Customer feedback:
1. I'm a big guy @ 6'3" and 260# and that is why I did not get the LifeGear bike I was looking at (smaller 6' reviewer said I wouldn't be able to use it). Even with this one I had to modify the extension tube by adding a drill hole to accomodate my height. The good news is the boxed tubing is heavy duty and I still feel confident even after modifying it. I exceed the max capacity by 10 lbs but the bike is solid and doesn't seem to mind at all. EZ 30 min assembly if you use your own tools. It comes prebuilt save for 12 bolts and two screws (plus you have to thread the pedals on - no sweat). I have a Stamina air resistance upright bike that was given as a gift but I don't care for the bike style seat or the noise. It nonetheless has worked flawlessly for two years of occassional use. This one, however is comfy on my fat behind and whisper silent to operate. Perfect to get me going on a regular basis.
2. It's compact and low, which means we are comfortable putting it in our living room where a bigger bike would have been an eyesore in the way. It's also comfortable (wide seat/good handle grip) and sturdy (doesn't wobble in use). There is a low gap in the space between the seat and pedals, great for mobility impaired people so they don't have to high step to straddle it as they would most bikes. However mobility impared people will not have anything to pull themselves up with on this bike since everything is low. There is nothing to obstruct your view, which makes this great to place in front of a tv.
