I was hesitent to purchase a recumbent bike at this low a price since the models I had seen at my local bike shop started at 4 times this price. I was however pleasantly surprised that this model turned out to be comparable in many ways to the more expensive models. It is well constructed with a sturdy frame and feels solid when being used at any friction level. The flywheel cover was cracked during shipment but a quick call to the toll free number had a replacement on its way. The friction settings, that are accomplished magnetically, are easily adjusted while riding and are very quiet allowing the user to listen to music or watch TV without boosting the volume. My only negative comment here would be that the highest setting is not as much resistance as I would like. The other item in the negative column would be the digital device that shows time, miles, calories, etc. It is difficult to read when in use and has no backlight. Mine occasionally will not shut off after the 4 minutes advertised in the user manual. Overall this is a great bike for the dollars and with Amazon the shipping was free!
