Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy an efficient workout in the comfort of your own home with the Edge 280 belt recumbent exercise bike from Fitness Quest. The Edge 280's control panel--which features six workout programs (three speed and three resistance)--helps maximize your workout by tracking the amount of time you've been riding, the speed at which you've been pedaling, the distance traveled, and the approximate amount of energy calories burned. As a result, it's easy to measure your progress and meet (or exceed) your fitness goals. The bike's built-in hand-grip pulse sensors, meanwhile, monitor your heart rate while you ride, a must for people who want to train in their target heart rate zones. Perhaps the nicest feature, however, is the recumbent cycling position, which supports your lower back while giving you better posture for a more enjoyable workout. The Edge 280's convenient seating adjusts to accommodate multiple user heights. Other details include an adjustable tension control with eight resistance levels, a state-of-the-art LCD panel, and a maximum capacity of 250 pounds. The Edge 280, which weighs roughly 76 pounds, carries a 90-day warranty. 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.

Lousy Service March 11, 2008

The item never worked. I have been in contact with Fitness quest and they have not replaced the failed bike. I am at my wits end in trying to get satisfaction.The recumbent bike is a disaster and so is the alleged service.

Product limitations and problems March 27, 2005

I purchased the fitness quest edge 280, expecting that this bike had 6 user workout programs, when in fact,this bike did not have this feature. The bike itself is difficult to put together, and the resistance levels are the only feature that you can use to vary your workout. The resistance levels are manually changed, which is problematic for the rider that wants to vary their workout while pedaling. The resistance levels also seem to break very easily, as level 1 became more resistant after my first use, making it difficult to use in at any other resistance level.
As this product had been advertised as having user programs, the buyer should be aware that this is not accurate, and that service from both the manufacturer(Fitness Quest) and the seller (Sportrus) has been slow and inadeqaute, with response taking almost 30 days, which is the amount of time you have to return the product for a refund. On the other hand, Amazon has quickly and adequately handled this complaint.

The tension on this bike is not dependable. Mine suddenly became so tight it's nearly impossible to pedal at all! The company doesn't even honor warranty promises. Though they offer email support, it is truly abysmal--it took 30 days to receive a response, and all they did was request a summary of the problem (which is what I sent to begin with). If you want to use this bike as a coat rack, it's a good choice!
