Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy an efficient cardio workout without leaving the home with the Ironman 125 recumbent exercise bike. The no-frills bike offers all the workout basics, including an 11-pound flywheel that creates a smooth feel as you ride, along with a large LCD readout that tracks your time, speed, distance, pulse, and calories burned. Riders will also appreciate the self-balancing pedals and recumbent step-through frame, which combine to create a comfortable riding experience. (The frame is particularly ideal for people with limited mobility or who are recovering from injury). Perhaps the most convenient feature, however, is the bike's compact, light-power design. The bike, which is small enough to fit easily in apartments or small rooms, features a computer that runs on two AA batteries (included). As a result, you can locate the bike pretty much anywhere--including on the back deck in the summertime--as no outlet is required for operation. Other features include eight resistance levels, handlebar pulse grips, bottom wheels for easy transport, and a 250-pound capacity. The Ironman 125 recumbent bike measures 42 by 41 by 19 inches (W x H x D), weighs 69.3 pounds, and carries a lifetime warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on parts. About Ironman Fitness

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.

 Perfect for me May 22, 2010
W. Gaertner (S. CA)
Pros_=
After going through two expensive magnetic track bikes (one over $400) and having the drive fail each time, I figured it was time to go with a simple old tried-and-true tension control drive.
-The number one plus for me is that the bike is perfectly constructed so that my knees are never at risk of scratching the console or handle bars. I'm only 5'11" and I've had embarrassing accidents scraping the skin off my knee during an intense workout.
-Took a bit to assemble but it feels sturdy, the seat is OK
-It offers an even tension that goes as high as I'd ever like.
-Doesn't take up too much space in my living room
-Calorimeter is accurate
Cons_=
-Assembly is a hassle but you only need to do it once
-Except in my case where I had to detach the front pole the tension control connects through so I could properly assemble it with the tension cord stretched over the top of the metal piece (otherwise there is no tension as others have experienced apparently)
-The instructions neglect to mention the latter and also had a misprint about the screws
-Hopefully the pre-fixed seat positions fit you as perfectly as they fit me. (I guess you could always drill a new hole)
-Seat isn't uncomfortable, but it's no lounge chair seat, feels like it'll last long though.
Need to overcome simple flaws October 2, 2009

I have had this for 2 months now in the box. I didnt assemble cause I was exhausted still from the elliptical I last assmebled.
The purchase price was 146. shipping from amazon was fast. of course the box
looked as if it had been opened and repackaged.
all parts were in there. there was no instruction manual and it took me 15 minutes online to actually find one.
assembly is fairly straightforward but the manual should be clearer. the diagrams are awful and some parts should have been easy but were confusing.
this took me 3 hours to assemble. but I think two people can set it up in 45 minutes. it just needs 3 hands to do it right.
the included tools are subpar but anyone with the right sized wrench can do it right.
the most confusing part was the cable end and spring hook. that is why many people had no tension working....
1. take the skinny metal part of cable and worm it into the hook (the bottom one).
2. then extend it upwards and pull on it until the upper metal part aligns properly and with a little finagling u should be set.
also make sure you have the all three cables and extensions hooked up. it took me 20 minutes to snake all three through the upright tube. pay attention to which end attaches to which end or you will repeat again and again.
finally when all was said and done, it was good to go and worked properly from the get go. the pulse sensor is super quick and fastet to pick up then higher end equipment.
I would have given it a 4 or 5 for price but I took off points for packaging, absence of a manual, and poor instructions.
I think the build is solid and this thing will last.
Pulse indicator September 30, 2009

I like the bike OK but have never gotten the pulse sensor to work. It always say error or zero.
 The tension control has never worked September 24, 2009
X. Wang (NC, US)
I ordered this bike last month from Amazon. It was easy to put together and looks pretty good. The only problem is the tension adjustment never worked. You do not feel any difference when you turn the knob from minimum to maximum.
Nice for the price but has issues September 21, 2009
MWCobra (LA, CA USA)
I ordered this. Even though I read some reviews that did not sound so great I figured for the price it was hard to beat. That is true, it is great for the price but you kind of get what you pay for. I received it and it seemed well packaged but it is heavy. All the parts seemed to be there but there were no instructions. I am a mechanical engineer so I managed to put it together but instructions and parts breakdown would have been nice. I am sure you could find those online. When it was fully assembled I went to adjust the seat. That is when I noticed the lock pin on the end of this was badly bent. Probably shipping damage. I also think the way you adjust the seat is kind of bad. I figured the seat would slide on the top of the frame but instead you extend the entire frame from the bottom. Then there is the LCD display unit. It has no power switch but states that it auto shuts off after a few minutes on no use. It did seem to do this but after a day I heard it beeping and chattering, and found that it had killed the batteries in less than a day just sitting there. You can use it without the LCD display so I just have no batteries in it. Either that or you have to remember to remove them. Apart from that, the bike seems very large. I am over 6ft and there is more room for adjustment. Pedal feel is nice. The tension force is OK but I would like it a little harder at the highest tension. I notice the price keeps dropping so I may return this to Amazon.com if they will not give me a credit.
