Best Lifespan Fitness Exercise Bikes

Would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the constant beeping when auto resistance is turned on via my app Zwift with no way of turning it off.… Read more

Also, as a heavier person, the seat crank I had to slam with foot or it'd collapse under me. But besides that, the auto resistance, the ability to adjust seat and handles as I'm 5'10 is great, wider cushioned seat which makes it comfy. I actually love this bike despite the beeping. Worth the money if you can get over those couple of issues. And Lifespan fitness weren't much help as I got my bike from Harvey Norman. And Harvey Norman weren't helpful either.

Look carefully at the warranty as it will indicate true life of product – I bought a LifespanRC-300 Recumbent Bike from Harvey Norman online mainly because I thought it would have an association with local store. Was wrong.… Read more

The Lifespan site implied a 5 year warranty life but after I had a problem I realised I should have read further. The real warranty is for 12 months and is only about providing parts with the risk of being hit with costs if they decide the failure to be your fault. Remember the RC-300 is mostly a sealed unit. I had previous exercise bikes which had lasted well over 5 years and expected the same from this unit at twice the cost but barely got over 19 months before it stopped working. Contacted Harvey Norman who replied with Lifespan response - out of warranty, determine what is wrong, they will send parts but I will have to pay for them or send bike back, pay transport each way plus parts and labour. To send it would cost over $200! Add parts and labour! In all probability to have to do it again in around the same time frame. I would not recommend buying this bike as I believe that it will not do what most buyers will expect. I am an elderly person and except for a few occasions I have used this bike on the lower manual settings (it gets to hard to quickly) so if it only lasts a short time for me how long would it last for a younger stronger person. I am unsure of I will do next. In all probability it may be better cut my losses, scrap this bike and buy a cheaper one from another supplier .
