• The XP 185U upright bike features a convenient Step Thru™ design so you can easily get on and off the bike. Semi-recumbent bikes tend to be easier to climb onto compared to upright models, which is great for those with mobility problems. The seat on a recumbent bike supports the lower back and will therefore help those with back issues

• This bike features 10 separate levels of magnetic resistance. The resistance is controlled through digital controls on the console. This bike uses SMR™ (Silent Magnetic Resistance), where there is nothing touching the actual flywheel, allowing for very smooth and very quiet operation. Resistance is altered by bringing the magnets closer or further away from the flywheel, which is done electronically by simply pressing a button

• A drive system is a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another. A belt drive passes over a gear with grooves, where the grooves of this belt mesh with the grooves of the gear. When the gear (or wheel) is turned by a user pedalling the bike, the gear pulls the belt and puts mechanical force into the system. This bike uses a V-belt because it is quieter than a chain drive

• The importance of the flywheel is to emulate the effect of cycling on a real bike. If there was no weight to cycle against, there would be no resistance. Cycling against the flywheel allows you to feel the same resistance as you would normally face when riding an actual bike. This bike has a flywheel that weighs 10.5 lbs (4.8 kg)

• The seat can be moved closer to the pedals or pushed further away using an adjustment knob. The large seat provides comfort for your bottom and the backrest provides extra support for your lower back. Integrated transport wheels help you conveniently transport this bike from room to room

• The handlebars feature a dual-grip Easy Pulse™ heart rate monitor. This allows the user to monitor their heart rate with sensors that are built in to the handlebars, ensuring you are in the right training zone for your goals. The pedals are weighted on the bottom to ensure that the pedal will always face up and you can get your foot back in place quickly and easily. They also feature adjustable straps that can be custom fitted around your foot

• Bike includes a target pacer, which has an indicator light that flashes when it's time to work a little harder or slow down to reach your goals. Its large LCD window with three display areas make it easy to read your speed, time, distance, pulse and calories burned. Two heart rate workouts to help you stay in your target heart rate zone, increasing the resistance when you need to raise your heart rate and decreasing your resistance when you need to lower it
