Phoenix 99608 Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike

I love my new exercycle! I am 79 yrs old and needed to exercise. I had another bike, but could no longer lift my legs high enough to get over the middle bar. (I have artificial hips and knees) With this new cycle. I can just sit and slide my leg across and onto the peddle. I have facing the TV and try to do it 3x a day for about 10 min. each time. In three weeks I have lost 10 lbs! Yippee! There's hope for me yet. It is so quiet and comfortable too; I love it!

I needed a basic, high quality recumbent bike after spraining my ankle per my physical therapist as I couldn't do my normal workout. I also live in a studio apartment and don't have a lot of space. This bike is perfect: high quality, low price, doesn't take up a lot of space, quiet, stable, & sturdy. Easy to assemble. It arrived quickly and in good condition. I couldn't find this bike at a store, so Thank You Amazon.com!

Bought this product a week ago easy to assemble, great price and provides loads of exercise time. I did not want to pay the higher price for the other bikes so I decided to try this one out. Works great!!!

BIKE CAME SHIPPED THROUGH AMAZON. JUST AS THE OTHER REVIEWS I HAD READ AND DISREGARDED, THE BIKE HAD BEEN DAMAGED IN SHIPPING. THE BOX WAS MUTILATED. I OPENED IT ANYWAY, HOPING IT WOULD BE FINE. THE BOX WAS SOAKED LIKE IT HAD BEEN DROPPED IN A PUDDLE AND IT CLEARLY STATED ON THE INSTRUCTIONS NOT TO GET WET. HAD A BIG HOLE THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE BOX. ANYWAY, OPENED BOX, TOOK EVERYTHING APART AND THE MAIN FRAME OF THE BIKE HAD A GIANT HOLE THROUGH IT. SO I HAD TO SHOVE EVERYTHING BACK IN THE BOX. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE? I DIDN'T HAVE TO DRAG THE 60LB+ PACKAGE TO UPS, THEY PICKED IT UP FOR ME. DON'T REALLY KNOW IF THE BIKE IS ANY GOOD, I GOT A REFUND. I CAN TELL YOU THAT I WON'T BE SHOPPING THROUGH AMAZON AGAIN ANY TIME SOON.

I purchased the Phoenix 99608 to rehab my knee injured a few months ago. It's great! I couldn't ask for more features - they're easy to read and easy to set up. However, setting up the machine itself wasn't so easy. The holes on the seat back weren't aligned properly so it was a real task to install the back. The machine is quite heavy too, so if you can't lift a lot I'll be glad to send my 15 year old grandson over to set up your bike too! Operation was a bit noisy a first but some 409 strategically placed as directed in the instruction manual took care of that.
