Performance Interactive Recumbent Cross Trainer Elliptical Bike

as per the title, this bike looks great and is very sturdy.The flywheel is smooth although there is a little clunkyness from the pedals themselves but I don't think this is likely to impact the joints too much.The resistance levels are more than enough for anyone who is not a high level pro.I have been using this at least 45 minutes a day for over 3 weeks now and it has had no problem with nothing coming loose either.My one criticism is that the seat is very hard and uncomfortable so maybe factor in the cost of a gel seat cushion too when buying this.

After spending hours and hours reading all the reviews of this and similar bikes I settled on this one. It arrived earlier than expected (unannounced, but definitely a bonus) and was very easy to assemble; the video is idiot-proof and there really isn’t much putting together to do. The box it is delivered in is heavy, but it was easy to unpack it downstairs and carry each component upstairs to put it together there.I was a bit worried that there would be insufficient resistance for me, looking at the weight of the flywheel, but it allows me plenty of scope and I’m really enjoying using it with the CycleGo app (really good value for money and the intermediate level is great for me, a fairly fit beginner).I have to say so far, so good with the bike, although there have been a few hiccups along the way. Firstly, the saddle is awful and I had to purchase a gel cover, which has now made it tolerably comfortable. Secondly, it took me several days of use to get the bike set up correctly for my back and shoulder comfort: saddle up, saddle forward, handlebars up etc, but now I find it perfect. I’m a 5 foot 7 woman with a 31 inch inside leg and I can now ride it comfortably for long periods.Thirdly, on the second time of using, I had the disconcerting noise coming from the flywheel that other reviewers have mentioned. I emailed the seller and I still have had no response two weeks later. However, the noise has now gone and I put it down to the bike settling in to actually being used. Nonetheless, I cannot say I’m impressed by the lack of a reply from the seller...Fourthly, I had a problem with one of the peddles clunking as it turned, but having read the reviews of other users I knew to tighten the nuts and doing so stopped the clunking immediately. In other words, I have been able to resolve all the teething issues easily.To sum up, in spite of what I’ve said above, I’m really pleased with the bike. It looks far better than the images suggest and it is definitely making a difference to my fitness. It’s quite sturdy and I can ride standing up and do “jumps” without a problem.I’m pleased I bought it.

I will start by saying as someone who is 6ft2 95kg...I was concerned that parting with £400 for a home exercise bike wouldn’t give much sturdiness etc, however I took a punt with this one. I’m impressed by the overall structure and build quality and feel it more than accommodates with height and weight. Although I would suggest they look at providing a different seat for more comfort!As a company, JLL have proven very responsive and helpful in ironing out an issue i had.After 3 days of use for 30 mins each day, there was a clunking sound, I sent them a video of the noise and the recommended a few things to try to see if it stopped that noise. Unfortunately it didn’t, it was suggested by their technician that it could be a faulty bearing, they sent out a new base unit and collected the old one within 4 days.5 days with the new base and it’s still all good.I’m using the bike to complete 30 mins a day on resistance level 2 (represents a slight gradient resistance) at between 34-36kmh.Would recommend for a beginner to intermediate.

With the gym being closed, I felt I needed something to help my fitness over winter so thought about an exercise bike even though I'd never used one before. The reviews for JLL IC200 seemed positive so I ordered one in early January even though it was out of stock with delivery expected mid February. It was delivered last week of January so top marks for that. It's delivered in a heavy box so help will be needed to move it up stairs. Very easy to assemble using the tools provided. Took me about 15 minutes after having watched the instruction video on Youtube. Fits me well. I'm 5 foot 10 with an inside leg of 31 inches and use the tallest seat setting. It feels sturdy and safe to use. A few weeks ago an annoying squeak started which appears to be from the seat tube (if I stand on the pedals, the noise stops). Although the knob holding the tube in place feels tight, I loosen it and tighten it again and the noise stops for a few minutes - as I said annoying. I emailed JLL about this a couple of weeks ago but no response yet hence me marking it down a star.As regards the uncomfortable saddle, I wear cycle shorts and the padding means I have no problem spending an hour on the bike.Would I recommend it - definitely especially for someone new to indoor cycling / spinning. A more experienced person may want the next model up.

Really easy to put together and a really solid bike for the price. Had to get some WD-40 in some areas as it gets pretty squeaky after a few uses. Not entirely confident in how it tracks anything as noticed that when I was cycling watching a video online, the video got to an hour and the bike said I'd been going for 67 minutes. Set a stopwatch the next day and the timer on the bike runs fast so don't rely on that if you're timing your excercise. Because of that, I'm not confident in the calories or distance it tracks so be aware

I have to start by saying that I think this is a good bike at this price point, and if I had tried it beforehand then I would still have bought it... but I hope this review helps you decide if it's right for you.About me: I'm an average 5'8", 12 stone (ish) plus a few lockdown pounds and I know my way around a bike and how to train on even the most basic of exercise bikes. I wanted something solid, reliable and not too expensive because this was going to live in a shelter at the top of the garden - I did consider the more expensive models and if I were setting this up indoors I probably would have gone for the 400 Pro or Elite at least BUT I couldn't justify that for my needs.What I liked: It arrived in good order, it was easy to assemble (tip: do it in situ, it's heavy), it's a good solid setup and everything worked at first time of asking. It's quick and easy to adjust and the whole family will probably get use out of this. It's quiet in operation, it has some basic computer functions but most importantly it's smooth and there are no jarring pedal movements.Things to consider:- it's not the same geometry as a road bike;- the seat doesn't quite come forward enough or the bottom bracket is an inch too far back;- BUT I am hoping to dial in a better position by flipping the seat collar;- if the bars are set low you don't have knee clearance when you stand; else high you don't get that drop position;- SADLY you've just got to live with this;- The pedals are about 4-5cm further apart than a typical road bike - I had to move my cleats for comfort but I'd still like them closer;- The seat is too soft/wide - but HEY you can change it (although that may exacerbate the above problem);- The pedals are basic with straps - but HEY you can change them (standard 9/16 fit);- The computer is basic - I knew that beforehand, cadence would be nice but that comes at a price;- The resistance is acceptable for a seated hill-climb training set, but don't expect to be dancing on the pedals;- You CAN stand and it's ok to work those muscle groups but don't expect too much resistance.If the above 'issues' are deal breakers for you then you may want to consider models further up the range but I can live with them, helped by the fact that I have enough training sets up my sleeve and the satisfaction that realistically this is still good value and all I need to get me through the Winter without the gym if need be.Happy Training.

Very pleased with this bike so far. Bought just after Christmas due to putting on weight following back operation. Use it with You Tube spin videos (using the handy tablet ledge) as a cheaper alternative to the Pelaton set up.Have had cheaper bikes before and never really been satisfied. Read a great many reviews before going for this one and have not been disappointed.Deliberately went for a magnetic resistance control as the reviews of the mechanical type were not great regarding noise etc. Have to say this is very quiet. And strong too - for my sessions I don’t go beyond half the resistance range, the hardest setting is very hard!Easy to assemble and adjust. Only thing I would say is I’m 5’10” and use the saddle at full extension so it not be suitable for very tall people.On the whole a great bike! Fast delivery too.

Bought thia dueing covid era and still have it, works great. Slight noise from the hub but still in good shape.

Bought this after a lot of research to use as part of recovery following quad surgery. Easy to build works really well. Saddle is more comfortable than an average road bike saddle and has very good adjustment on it as do the handle bars. Silent in use and a good range of resistance. Does everything I bought it for at a great price

I bought this to add to the garage gym. It is a good exercise bike, with a range of resistance settings that works perfectly fine for me.The build quality is good, and I haven't experienced any problems.The only negative I can identify is the display - mine stopped working after the first couple of days. This isn't a problem for me, because I tend to measure my indoor cycles by heart rate and time, so it doesn't make any difference. Might be annoying if you want to see the "distance" numbers on the display.

I bought this for my wife to use for pulmonary rehabilitation.The delivery process was flawless, four days.The packaging was excellent, and the few components needed for assembly were presented on a card, and labelled, meaning confusion is near- impossible.It seems very quiet, and well constructed. I feel like it is value for money, though time will tell, of course.Although I use a gym I have been doing short 5K rides and find it comfortable, but at the limit for my height (6.3)and 34" inside leg. I have the seat at its highest setting, and fitted a 40mm thick gel seat, but my leg isn't quite fully extended on the downstroke. I wouldn't tolerate this for a road bike, but when exercising it just means your thighs get a bit better workout. If I could be bothered I would fit another seat, but it's no big deal. Plenty of resistance if you want it, I have only used level 4 so far, and that feels like a slow uphill climb to me.A good solid machine, for which I have high hopes. Watch this space.

I bought this for my wife who is unable to use her bicycle due to ill health. It arrived well packed, with excellent assembly instructions. The tools and parts are all fixed and labelled on a card so there's little chance of mixing them or losing anything.In all, it took less than 30 minutes to attach the handlebars, peddles and saddle, connect the (very basic) computer.Yes, the peddles and saddle are a bit cheap, but these can be easily replaced when and if you want to.What counts is the quality of the frame etc and it seems to me that this is where the manufacturer has spent the most money.It's early days, but for under £400 I'm very pleasantly surprised at the quality.

3 year update - Yep, still going. Safe to say this was value for money.2 year update - Still going strong with daily use.1 year update: I bought this bike a year ago and it's still going strong with daily use. If the seat pole starts to squeak, it's just because the screws holding it in place are bare metal and is easily fixed by a quick squirt of pound shop lubricating oil like WD40 or similar and everything is back to silent again. Takes 1 minute to do and I've only had to do it twice in a year of daily use. I paid a lot more than its current price (due to lockdown everything was almost double price) and I don't mind at all. 100% worth it. Here's to another year.After a year of daily training, I've managed to go from resistance 2/8 to 5/8, and even then it's very difficult to get to 40 minutes. Don't think I'll be running out of resistance levels anytime soon, which was one of my concerns in the initial review.Good luck!Original review:I'm a mid-30's 5ft 10inch male who wanted some low impact cardio to improve my fitness levels that wouldn't disturb my neighbours through my paper-thin walls. After a good week of daily research on various sites, I decided to purchase this JLL IC200 because of the high number of 4* and 5* reviews (Currently at 92% combined).The bike arrived from JLL via DHL next day delivery almost two weeks earlier than expected, despite being out of stock when I first ordered it. I got a 1 hour delivery window thanks to DHL being the chosen courier.When the bike dispatches, be sure to use the provided tracking number on the site given in your order summary, as the Amazon scheduled delivery date is not correct, though the dispatch notification was.The package itself weighed in at 37kg/~81lbs/~6 Stone. Luckily, it had some packing straps around the large cardboard box and some handle cutouts. In combination, these allowed me to pull it up two flights of stairs and slide it along the floor. No real lifting required, but if you're small, get someone to help.Assembley was easy, and it comes with all the tools required, an instruction manual and JLL's youtube channel has a video demonstration. Be sure to remove the little wedge from under the emergency brake like the bright yellow label says, or it'll be very hard to pedal and make a chugging noise. You may find yourself taking the whole thing apart to find out what it is, only to find out it's the wedge you forgot to remove keeping the brake engaged.N-not that I did that.Just saying.When properly assembled, which I did perfectly the first time, it's extremely quiet. The 8 settings are fine for me. I can peddle more easily than expected on the highest setting, but tire very quickly. Not sure it'll be enough if you're extremely fit, but maybe bikes are the same. I don't know much about them.The saddle is probably the most uncomfortable thing I've ever sat on. I had to put a pillow over it. Maybe I'm not used to it or just have super sensitive buttocks, but luckily a new one is only 20 pounds, so I bought the highest rated comfort saddle here on Amazon. I'll update this when it arrives. I won't deduct any stars for such a little piece that is so easily and cheaply replaced. The default one is... functional.It's easy to move, which is great because I have to put it away after every use. You tilt it like in the picture and just rolls on its wheels. Very easy to do.I don't care about the monitor, so didn't try it. It comes with two AAA batteries though.The whole wheel is enclosed in the hard grey shell too, so there aren't any moving parts exposed to the outside apart from the pedals themselves. This is probably good news if you have pets or kids.Given that it took so long for me to save for, I was hoping to have made a good decision in the end, and I don't regret it at all. I'm very happy with the thing. I'll update the review if anything happens, but it's really sturdy-feeling, so I don't expect anything to go wrong.Update: 3 weeks in and everything is great so far. Turns out that the discomfort with the seat was just my not being used to it. In three days it went from almost unbearably uncomfortable to barely detectable. Now, it doesn't hurt at all.

I was looking for something to help me to make up for my lack of bike commuting now that I'm working from home. This meets my needs perfectly.I've used high end machines in gyms but wasn't prepared to fork out for one for home use. The only real difference that I notice is the lack of ant+ computer but for me that's not worth the additional cost.I've been using it for a few weeks now and find that it provides a great workout with plenty of resistance for my needs...45 min ride at resistance level 5 with shorter bursts at higher resistance. I've not tried a spinning class so not sure if there is enough resistance range for that.The bike arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. I'm about 5'8" and I have the seat post extended to a reasonable height and not sure how much scope their is to increase much more if you were 6 feet or over.I had an issue with the monitor just after the warranty period ended and JLL were really quick and helpful and have offered to send a new monitor. Great customer service.

Very good quality and comfortable too.
