3G Cardio Elite RB X Recumbent Exercise Bike - FreeSync FTMS Bluetooth Smart App Connectivity - Compact 49" (L) - Oversized Soft 4-Way Adj. Seat - 350 lb Cap. - Low Step-Thru Design - Commercial Grade

First of all, I had already purchased another brand of recumbent bike until I viewed the "Big Guy" review on YouTube. I immediately cancelled my order and changed to the 3G Cardio Elite RB X. I am 6'1" and 260lbs. The 3G Cardio Elite is exactly what the "Big Guy" said it would be, sturdy (not the least but unstable during your work out). The ride is smooth and as quiet as you would expect from a quality piece of equipment. The bike I was going to buy would have costed me half as much, but I would rather pay more and be happy with my purchase, than pay hundreds of dollars and be dissatisfied. Just like the "Big Guy" said, the seat is wide and well cushioned, and has 3 adjustment settings that allow for optimum comfort. The display screen is easy to use. I didn't even have refer to the user manual to understand the basics of being able to maneuver through and set the user functions on the display. Unfortunately, I cannot attest to the east of assembling the bike. I paid extra to Amazon for the service. I'm 64 With a bad back, and a replaced knee. It did however, take the two servicemen about 45 minutes to complete the assembly. The only negative was the fact I was missing 2 screws to an optional part I chose not to attach to the bike. I did however want to have these screws in case somewhere down the line I may want to utilize that part. I contacted a 3G Cardio customer service representative and made arrangements to have the 2 screws send to me. I spoke to a gentleman named Brian who made the experience very pleasurable, which is a rarity in this day and age. He let me know that he also has had the same bike, and if I have any questions whatsoever to contact him on his private number that he emailed to me. Now that's customer service. So once again thanks to Brian and YouTube's "Big Guy" (I highly recommend that you check him out before making a choice regarding exercise equipment). They both helped make me feel I made the right choice in purchasing the 3G Cardio Elite RB X.

The 3G Cardio recumbent bike is my favorite of all brands that I've used! I travel Internationally and the recumbent bike is my first choice of equipment. Between the gym, hotels and a previously owned bike, I've used at least 8-10 different brands. I've ridden recumbents for at least 15 years. This bike is sturdy, solid, quiet and smooth. It is 49" x 27". The shorter length made it easier to place in my home, (most recumbents are about a foot longer.) I find the distance between the pedals to be perfect. My legs are properly aligned from foot to hip. The pedals are wide and comfortable. The seat adjusts forward and back, tilts up and down and the back adjusts forward and aft. I'm small framed and I do put a pillow behind my back for a little extra cushion between the seat and seat back, (This is just a preference, not a necessity.) I ride an hour and like being able to periodically adjust my tilt and back angle, as well as varying my resistance levels. The minor adjustments slightly change my knee position. I don't get knee pain after my ride that I sometimes experience from other bikes where I'm in the exact same position day after day. When I received the bike, the instructions for putting it together were very detailed and easy to follow. I did have a couple of questions and Bryan, from 3G Cardio was always available to help me. There are 16 levels of resistance and I was finding level one to equate to about a level 4 on other bikes. Bryan sent me a diagram on how to lower the resistance. It was an easy process and I was able to do it myself. He told me if I had any difficulty he would send a technician out to set it for me, free of charge. This bike has one year free parts and labor, and a 7 year parts warranty! 3G Cardio has the best product and the best customer service I have ever experienced. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

This bike is awesome. I bought it on appearance and description. I ordered the delivery with assembly as it was reasonable in cost. It arrived on the date I chose, the delivery guys (2) we friendly and competent. The assembly took the 2 men alittle over an hour and I'm glad I chose inside delivery with assembly as there were quite a few parts and steps in the assembly although the manual apprared straight forward. Basic tools were included and no missing parts. The guys said this was the 2nd one of these they had assembled so they were somewhat familiar but I think after watching them I would have taken somewhat longer to do this and be sure it was all set up and working propperly. So that was yeaterday and my first ride was this morning. Having used treadmills, elipticals and regular outdoor bicycles this bike, recumbent style was of very good quality and easy to use and operate. Very comfortable, adjustable seat and electronics to adjust (I ordered the basic control panel as that is all I need essentially time, distance and pulse rate and resistense. The seat and pedal set up is easy to adjust, solid feel, stable not wobbly and the unit doesn't take up too much space. I actually spoke to the company on the phone before ordering the unit regarding a purhasing question but was connected to a service guy due to a sales person not in the office that day, had a great conversation with the service guy and made me feel comfortable about purchaing oune of thes bikes and he was the guy I'd likely speak ti if I did have questions about the bike or parts. So I got on Amazon and ordered my bike, setup the deluvery date with assembly. I could go on and on but in short I highly reccomend this bike if your looking for a well designed, sturdy, moderatly priced in my opinion considering the quality exercise recument style exercise bike that is easy to use and comfortable. I looked at bikes ranging from $800 to $3000 and this bike at $2000 with free shipping and if you have an Amazon credit card 12 mos no interest this was a good option. I've only had this bike two days but there are no concerns, I'll write further if I encounter any significatant issues.
