Bought this bike since the 2 Schwinn recumbent bikes I bought finally wore out. This is good for tall people and has more than enough adjustment forward and backward. However, after assembling I took a 45-minute ride and the pedal arm on the left side came loose and started to wobble back and forth which came already assembled on the bike, so I had to stop and tighten it before using it again. Seems to be okay now. For a larger tall person, the seat is horribly uncomfortable. The seat back pushes me forward which makes the seat seem very small and is uncomfortable for longer rides. I have ordered a gel cushion to hopefully correct this issue. There is a bit more side to side movement/play of the seat, which is not expected. The beeping when you press a button is very loud even on the lowest setting, so I will be looking for a setting to see if that can be disabled. Assembly was straight forward and only taking about 20 minutes to assemble on my own. Would have been nice to have support handles on either side of the display panel as other models have since I have to readjust regularly due to the uncomfortable seat. As a taller person with size 15 extra-wide shoes the straps that are meant to support holding your feet on the pedals are absolutely useless, really wish there was an option get larger straps. Even still they are difficult to use and install. The mounting is a great idea but not useful at all, so I have removed them completely. The fan is not adjustable for directing the air and it doesn't blow where it is useful, at least for a taller person. Bought this brand since it is a quality brand before purchasing the much more expensive commercial grade machines. It would be nice if Nordic Track offered options for a different seat and seat back and made the fan direction adjustable. Lastly, the ledge to set your phone or tablet on is not very deep so if you have certain cases on your device hopefully, they are good at protecting it because they will eventually fall off. My two Schwinn recumbent bikes had built in heart sensors, and it was disappointing to see the NordicTrack requires you to purchase a heart monitor strap. I will be keeping the bike and using it as it is too difficult to disassemble and package back up to return. Overall, it is okay, but I expected a lot more from NordicTrack.
