Summary |
The Precor Recumbent Bike - 846i-R, 842i-R is a series of recumbent bicycles designed for both home and commercial use. Like all recumbent bikes, the Precor Recumbent Bike - 846i-R, 842i-R both feature pedals set almost parallel to the reclining seat and are made for a lower body workout. While the 846iR has more settings and the 842iR is sold as a more affordable model, both include a display with preprogrammed functions on their consoles. Neither of them require batteries.
Neither of the bikes in the Precor Recumbent Bike - 846i-R, 842i-R series are portable. They will require some assembly upon arrival. This unit, like any exercise bike, is too large to be used discreetly, and there is little you can do while using it other than getting a cardio workout and possibly watching TV or reading. You will need hard work and motivation to use the Precor Recumbent Bike - 846i-R, 842i-R models. The manufacturer does not state to what extent you will need to focus on your form while exercising with their recumbent bikes.
