Do you get a smooth ride with no jerking? Thank you . . .

Yes the ride is smooth. I did have to secure the rubber tips with gorilla glue to keep them in place when pedaling on carpet, but overall there were no problems with the equipment.

No and The ends come off very easily making it more unstable and it slides around
1266012
No, not a smooth ride at all. The adjustment doesn't help with smoothness either.

At first no. But that was because the bolts were put in the correct way. I fixed that and then yes, it's smooth. This is not something for someone who is very active. This is more for those who can't get on a bike but want to strengthen their legs and arms.

It won't rattle when you go fast , it really smooth actually pretty smooth. You will really enjoy riding this scooter!

I have riden a few times with no rider on the back. When I got going really fast the back starts to bounce around a little bit and torques the bike side to side a little bit. I dont think its a big deal, just dont go really fast.

So far I have not had to lube, just keep the tracks clean and free of dirt. I don't know if you have lube.

The pull up is smooth. However on the pull down you actually have to pull the bike or whatever you are keeping on the mount down while at the same time giving the cord some slack making a vertical line so the lock won't activate. So it si not jerky but not so smooth.

No "clicking" but a smooth intuitive turn of the control knob. No problem unless you crave the feed back.

Yes, it does glide smoothly. It does make a very slight squeak if we lean heavily to the left when rocking. But, it' really not a problem.

I don't have any problems at all with it for smoothness. I ride easy to moderate so I am not a high-speed tester. I use this recumbent bike 30 minutes to 45 minutes 5 days a week. I did have to replace the back support, but it was no problem just called them and it was replaced promptly and the replacement has been no problem at all.

Seems smooth and not jerky to me but I think it depends on leg strength to begin with. As your leg muscles stretch and get stronger, the pedaling should become less jerky, if jerky is what is happening now.

I would say it is smooth and requires some torque to move it. A bit stiffer than I thought it would be but not to the point being unhappy. After some use I didn't and do not really notice it. Definitely stiffer than my 18-200.

I think if I can get the seat stabilized it will be comfortable. Have tightend the screws as noted above. Up/down movement has stopped, but the seat still moves left to right when riding. Anyone else having this problem?

There is no feedback on the monitor regarding tension. It's strictly feel. I get continuity between workouts by adjusting the crank to the first touch. I warm up for a couple of minutes there, then increase tension by set amounts - quarter turns or eighth turns from there. It actually goes smoothly and reliably. My basic ride profile is a mountain top finish with ever increasing tension.

It glides smoothly but does make a slight noise. Not sure of WD-40 would help but it is worth the price.

Yes it is amazing for cruising around on! I just got it today, but it has been a nice ride so far! Very smooth!

I got better throttle response but didn't do any dyno tests or anything to actually get quantifiable data. You should hear a difference and notice a "seat of the pants" improvement in acceleration. If I get another z71 then I will definitely buy one of these again.

We have glassy to choppy out here, and on a choppy day it stayed stable even though I was just on my second try. Got tired and had to sit ( I'm definitely getting the seat! ) and paddle in. As I get more proficient I have no doubts about it being a solid stable and fun ride in less than smooth conditions. Though it is harder to turn..

No, you don't even feel them! I have one, and my granddaughters have them! They are better than the non-knobby by far because you don't feel friction! You cannot feel them...they actually don't let you slide off, either. I hope this helps.Susana Katherine
