Our Take on the Star Trac E-RBe Bike

There aren’t many exercise bike reviews on the E-RBe since most users aren’t crazy about paying so much money for a recumbent. But you should note that the Star Trac E-RBe recumbent bike is one of the longest recumbent models at 66" and the heaviest, so expect the ride to be very stable, with a pedaling motion that is smooth and quiet.

The Star Trac E-RBe carries a big $4,999 price tag (MSRP: $5,795), which is a lot even for a commercial recumbent bike, yet this one is sold for home use. For a more affordable alternative, check out the Life Fitness LifeCycle Platinum Club Series Achieve Recumbent, which also has a 15" LCD touch screen, for around $3,400.
