Features (Continue)

• Flywheel

• Comfort

• Tucked away in the body of this bike is  a well
  balanced fly wheel, this is tured by the pedals
  via a quiet belt drive.  Exerpeutic have gone for
  a simple, but effective V-Belt Double Drive
  system.  This requires no maintenance and will
  give years of trouble free use.

• As you can see from the image, the rider sits
  back comfortably on a wide well padded seat.  We
  find this a great way to relax while exercising.
   With the integrated back rest its possible to
  sit comfortably here for an hour or so while you
  work out.  There are a couple of hand grips, but
  I often find myself reading a book!
• Because you are sat low to the ground the bike is
  exceptionally stable, the low center of gravity
  means that the bike wont move from side to side
  as you ride.

• Resistance

• 400xl Console

• Controlled via a knob at the front of the bike,
  the 400XL offers 8 levels of resistance.  This is
  delivered via a magnetic system that keeps the
  pedal motion smooth even as they become harder to
  turn.

• Exerpeutic have even managed to pack a simple
  consolein with this bike.  This will keep you on
  target as you getstronger. The console displays
  stats such as work out time, pulse, calories and
  distance travelled.  So you can set yourself
  goals and improve every time you get on the bike.

Verdict

• Some of the problems associated with this bike
  are caused by height, so potential purchasers who
  are short or tall should take height into
  consideration when buying a recumbent bicycle. If
  possible, users should test out a model before
  buying it to make sure height will not be an
  issue. 
• Those who wish to look elsewhere for a recumbent
  bicycle may want to look into the Stamina 15-0200
  InTone Folding Recumbent Bike or the Stamina
  InTone Folding Cycle Pro. These recumbent
  bicycles are fairly similar to the Exerpeutic
  400XL in price and rating and would thus give
  potential users multiple options to consider.

  400XL is sturdy and well built to handle the
  rigors of an intense workout without shaking
  excessively or being otherwise uncomfortable
  during normal use.
• The ergonomic recumbent seat design does well at
  reducing pressure on the lower back and other
  trouble spots that frequently ache during long
  workout sessions on other machines making it

  pains.

  very little noise and almost no shaking during
  even the most vigorous workouts.

  makes it suitable for users of all ages and with
