Everything You Need To Know
About The 3G Cardio Elite RB Recumbent Bike
Comfortable Seat
This has got to be the most comfortable stationary exercise bicycle available – bar none! The adjustable seat and backrest have the softest cushions I have ever had on a bike. Upon mounting the bike, the cushions conform to any shape or size of derrière (buttocks – for those who don’t know French). I just wish I could put the same cushions on my cross county bicycle!
Fits Into Small Spaces
Being very compact – only 49 inches long – and 27 inches wide – it can fit into spaces that are too small for other in-house bikes. The width between the pedals is pretty narrow, too – adding to the comfort. This bike could possibly even fit in the bathroom! But, I like keeping it in a corner of my bedroom.
TIP
The pedal straps can be difficult to install for someone that can’t “muscle them on.” Don’t waste your time grunting over this task – just soak them in warm water for a few minutes to make them more pliable – and, they’ll go on with no trouble.
Easy To Move
There are easy roller wheels to make moving the bike from place to place as effortless as a walk in the park! Lift it with one hand and it will follow you anywhere!
Sturdy Step Through Frame
The heavy duty frame easily supports users up to 350 pounds – so, this bike is able to be used by most folks – short or tall – thin or thick. And, its low height makes it easy to mount the machine without tripping and falling.
Control Console – A Breeze To Use
The electronics display console is simple and effective – with a straightforward, easily adjustable dial. There are a dozen pre-programmed workouts to choose from.
Handle Monitor And Control
There are programming buttons on the remote handle – that also monitors heart rate through contact sensors as well as a wireless heart rate strap.
Great Warranty
Add a residential lifetime warranty on the frame – plus a 7 year parts warranty – plus a year of labor – and, you’re worry free – because, you now have a stationary exercise bike that will stand the test of time. If you’re starting your own fitness gym, there is a great commercial warranty, too!

Hi Noah,
I enjoyed reading through your review of the recumbent bike. My question is, due to the pedals being set quite narrow, will the bike be suitable for someone who is a little overweight? I am mostly worried that my thighs will rub together as this sometimes happens on a traditional bike. Thanks in advance, Andrew
Hi Andrew,
The diminutive footprint of the 3G Cardio Elite RB Recumbent Bike is one of its key features – to be able to place it just about anywhere – even in a small, cramped apartment.
I do understand your concerns, though, as I have been “blessed” with “tree trunk thighs. Before I lost my extra baggage, more often than not – over the years – I suffered the dreaded sore rashes coming from my thighs rubbing together while exercising.
I eliminated this issue in two ways – first, I wore knee length spandex-type pants – and second, if I didn’t have the pants available, I applied some petroleum jelly to the areas that could get galded prior to exercising.
Hope that helps!
Noah
Thank you for reviewing this recumbent bike. I have a question about one of the photos, it said something about a Q factor which seems to be a distance between the pedals, what exactly is that? Oh well, it is probably a good thing. Over all this sounds like a great exercise bike, especially the 350 lb rating. If I needed a new exercise bike I would definitely consider getting this one. Thanks for the advice on how to get the pedals on with warm water if needed.
Simple explanation: The “Q factor” is the distance between the crank arms – where the pedals attach.
The 3G Cardio Elite is a great recumbent bike for anyone serious about losing weight and gaining strength the right way!
