 Perfect!Feb 08, 2009
By HappyGirl
I was surprised there were no existing reviews for this bike, and in fact I was reluctant to purchase it for that reason, but I'm so glad I did! It's exactly what I was looking for. I'll break down the details in depth for anyone considering this bike:
Delivery - The package did arrive a bit banged up, but all the parts were there and nothing was damaged. It is heavy though... my dad brought it over for me and it took both him and another man to get it up the stairs to my apartment on a dolly.
Assembly - My dad (a mechanical engineer) assembled it for me and it did take about two hours. Mind you this was at a leisurely pace while simultaneously watching a movie. It wasn't terribly complicated, just time consuming. The parts all seem to be of high quality and heavy weight.
Appearance - I love the way this bike looks! It has a more sleek design than most. It fits perfectly in my small apartment living room and isn't even an eye-sore. Technically you need about 4.5' (length of base) x 2.5' (width of widest point, the lower handlebars) of floor space. I also love the walk-thru design, it makes getting on and off less cumbersome.
Functionality - It has plenty of variety in it's programs. I especially like that it has two programs which automatically adjust resistance based on your heart rate (the heart-rate monitors are located in the handlebars). The monitor is bright, easy to use, and has all the features you would want to monitor your progress. I also like that it shows which stage of the program you are in. The column flashes depending on which stage of resistance you are at and you can see how many more columns of resistance levels are left to go. This helps keep you motivated; kind of like seeing the hills and valleys approach as you ride a normal bike. You can also manually adjust the pre-programed workouts to suit your needs. The seat is comfortable; not sitting-in-a-recliner comfy, but certainly adequate for a bike. I'm 5'8" and this bike adjusts to fit me perfectly, with room to spare in either direction for other height ranges. The bike seems very stable, has a water bottle holder (w/ bottle) and weighted peddles with optional straps. Also, this bike is partially recumbent which I find way more comfortable than either an upright or a fully recumbent bike.
The Workout - The best part... this bike is virtually SILENT! I am amazed at how quite it is! I don't think someone in another room could hear it, let alone my scary, hearing-sensitive downstairs neighbors (big plus!). If you're concerned about noise than this bike is for you! I can watch my tv at the same volume I would if I were just sitting on the couch. I worked out for 30 minutes today on the "Interval" setting and was able to work up a good sweat, felt the burn, and my bum and back stayed comfy the whole time. Its great to peddle away, watch your favorite show, and before you know it your workout is done!
All in all - LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

review for stamina 7250. Purchased at AmazonDec 05, 2009
By J. Drinnon
Putting together the 7250 was a workout by itself. I did it by myself except for the 2 times I asked my girlfriend to hold this or hold that. I have a bad back so some of the kneeling and getting up was tough sometimes. Took me about 3 hours. I am very happy with my purchase. Using the bike is very simple. Comfort wise it is very nice. With my back the way it is I went with the recumbent. Its perfect I dont have any back pain using it at all. Performance wise it is just as good as the ones I used at the Y a few years ago. It will definately give you a workout. Its so quiet I have it right in the living room so I can watch TV while using it. I cant tell you the long term quality as I have only had it for a month or so. It is nice and solid though. I am 6' 270lbs and it doesn't seem to be stressed by me at all.

 I like what worksSep 26, 2009
By Loco Gringo
Arrived with a chip in the plastic, luckily it was a part that is on the bottom and faces the ground.
The main frame didn't fit together right and I had to spend a very long time banging on it w/ a hammer to assemble it.
Once together I found that the pulse sensors didn't work at all. I actually wrestled with it to take it apart and inspect the places where the wire plugs meet.
One of the points where the plugs come together had opposite colored wires lined up; i.e., the black wire was meeting the red and vice versa. My best guess is that at the factory one of the plugs was assembled backwards.
Aside from the disappointing assembly snafu and non-functional pulse sensors and programs, the bike is really well made and has plenty of options to shock your muscles and keep the routines fresher.
I use it regularly and it seems as though it should hold up to my punishment, I weigh nearly 190 lbs. and work out w/ dumbells while cycling so I am definitely not taking it easy on the bike.
The intensity level changes are smooth and it is rather quiet for an exercise bike.
I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it if you don't want to spend twice as much for a gym quality bike.

 Don't buy onlineMar 27, 2011
By William C Wann
Don't buy online! I am on my 3rd frame generator and 3rd computer panel. It took over 60 day to get the correct parts which put me past the Amazon 60 day warranty. If I had bought it at a walk in store, I would have gotten my money back and bought a quality exercise bike. My experience with Stamina service was excellent. They replaced the most expensive parts of the bike, generator with its attached mechanisms and frame and the computer panel twice without a question. I bought my first recumbent exercise bike, Vision Fitness, 15 years and over 50,000 mile ago before it started having problems. At the time there weren't very many recumbent exercise bikes available. Therefore I mistakenly assume the "Product/Demand" principle had finally brought the price to a more affordable level and the quality was still there but cheaper. WRONG.
Problems experienced:
- 1st shipment of bike (which took 3 weeks): Shipping carton was banged up, but no punctures. But inside the box there was broken Styrofoam. Shipping carton was poorly designed for such heavy parts. This resulted in broken bike side panels. The generator wouldn't produce a load. If this was caused be shipping or poor quality control I don't know. I called Stamina service and they recommended a new computer panel also along with the broken parts.
- 2nd shipment (which took over a month): The bike parts were basically tossed into a box with chunks of Styrofoam and empty boxes. The plastic panels were used (not new)and a it also had a broken screw standoff, load generator produced only one very high load. Called Stamina service and they said they would send me another generator and computer panel. I didn't mention the side panels problem as I can live with it.
-3rd shipment (approximately 2 weeks): Same shipping experience as the 2nd. Bike seems to work OK. Either the mileage or speed is slightly off as I can peddle at near a constant 20 MPH but after 3 minutes the distance is about .9 miles (should be exactly 1.0 miles). A low batter indicator occasionally lights up, but I don't know what that mean as there isn't an obvious place to put a battery. Could be an on-board battery for the memory. Today I had to tighten a crank arm that came loose. I ride 60 minutes per session and I find the seat starts hurting my bum. The old bike didn't.
Bottom line ... I wouldn't recommend buying a large product like this on line unless you are going through the manufacture directly as returning things through a 2nd or 3rd party can be a hassle. Stamina quality, for this bike, is at best poor and I feel they know it or they wouldn't have been so quick to send new parts. I expect this bike to last about 1 to 2 years and then I will spend the big bucks and buy a quality bike, which in the long run will be be cheaper than the Stamina.

 Parts don't fit, instructions hard to followJan 23, 2011
By smartblnde
I ranked this as a '2 star' because, after 2 days, I have not been able to assemble it.
One of the directions called for a bolt that measures 53mm. There IS no bolt in the package that measure 53 mm, so I went with the one that measures 60mm. THere is no bolt listed on the parts that measures 60mm.... This was guesswork in the second step.
The plastic frame is junk. I can overlook that as long as it works, but, as stated, that remains to be seen.
Presently, the step I am on calls for a 200mm bolt (have those), a curved washer and a lock washer. The curved washer is too small that is provided, and the lock washers are the same way.
The thing is HEAVY, and it requires being turned upside down to get some of the screws in place, or sitting on the floor to get it done. I purchased the darn thing because of mobility problems.... getting on the floor isn't exactly good.
I would strongly recommend getting a stationary recombent bike from Exercise and Leisure where they will assemble it, deliver it and make sure it is working properly for a bit of extra money. It would have been well worth it!
