Amazon.com Product Description:
Just 63 inches long x 28 inches wide x 33 inches high, this compact recumbent exercise bicycle features an adjustable heavy-weighted flywheel-resistance and belt-drive train so the bicycle pedals silently and smoothly at any resistance level. A battery-operated monitor displays speed, distance, time, calories burned, pulse, and target zone. The monitor also displays six pre-programmed workouts: fat burn, maximum fat burn, interval, aerobic, hill, and mountain. Workout intensity can also be set manually. A target-zone feature indicates whether speed needs to increased or decreased to maximize effectiveness, and a tension knob can be adjusted to any of eight levels to increase or decrease intensity without interrupting a workout. The seat is foam-padded and adjusts to fit any size rider. Oversized foot pedals hold feet securely. Handles are padded for comfort. The bicycle weighs 75 pounds.

A recumbent bicycle offers aerobic exercise while working out major muscles in hips, thigh, and buttocks. Stationary cycling also avoids impacting lower-body joints.

About Recumbent 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.

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.

Could be better, could be worse by Arshad K. Kassam
Pro’s: Quiet, Affordable, good height positioning

Con’s: Needs more front-to-back pedal positioning points, monitor resets itself sometimes

I used to run every day, and loved it. My knees went out and I need to get in shape again. Gym membership costs too much. This bike was cheap and got good reviews. I ordered it and went to assemble it. I thought I was missing half the bolts so I called and got Stamina to ship them to me at no cost. Came 1 week later only to find out the bolts came with the bike, because some parts were sent with the bolts already screwd in. (They didn’t say in the manual that you have to unscrew and rescrew the parts.)

I like the bike except for they did not make it with my height in mind. I am 5′6 and the front to back positioning was either too short so my knees would buckle or too far so I was slouching and my back would hurt. I will have to purchase a drill and make a new hole in between the two mentioned previously. Another gripe is that the monitor resets, however the resistance does not get affected so this is not a major concern. I like the low to ground positioning as it is perfect for my TV.

All in all this is the perfect bike if you are either 5′5 or 5′7.

STAY MOTIVATED!!!!!!!!!!!

Great value! by L. GROVE
I ordered the Stamina 15-4800R Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike from Amazon.com on May 14 and it was delivered by UPS (at no shipping cost) on May 23. The box was in perfect condition; and all parts were included and well marked. The assembly instructions were easy to follow; and I was using it within an hour of delivery! The bike is very sturdy and well-made. The magnetic action is extremely smooth and nearly silent. The TV (which is easily seen due to the low profile of the bike) can be heard at normal volume while using the bike. For those who like to read while exercising, you have to hold the reading material because there is no book rack. The ONLY negative comment I have is the pedals, which turn upside down because of the weight of the strap making it difficult to properly insert your feet. This is one piece of exercise equipment that I will use every day. I highly recommend it.

Green Valley, AZ (May 2008)Stamina Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike

just what I hoped for by P. Gould
A friend put the bike together and said it was simple. Off to a good start. The computer didn’t work properly and there was a cap missing, but it worked great-I don’t need to know all of that information or need a count down. A few days later I called the company and within a week they sent out a new computer and the cap. The bike is just perfect for reading or watching tv. The way I look at it is that I am getting some exercise when I am sitting and doing what I would normally be doing sitting in bed or on the couch. What could be better??

Stamina Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike by Chitram Chatergoon
I decided to buy this Stamina Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike after reading the reviews. I must say that I am quite happy with it. I’ve lost 10lbs in one month. The only problem was the computer was resetting itself so I lost track of the amount of time I was exercising. But this was quickly fixed when I called the manufacturer, I received a new computer in two weeks. Also the calories burn count is the same for each resistance setting which is not right. All in all I have no regrets buying this bike for this price.
