FACESTORE$10 off orders of $100+The 3 recumbent exercise bikes here all come from one store, HARISON (harisonusa.com), and were priced on October 23, 2026 at $419.99 (HR-B8C), $499.99 (HR-B8A1) and $1,599.99 (Discover B3650). A recumbent bike is a bike with a backrest seat: the HR-B8C pictures show a mesh backrest and side armrests, the HR-B8A1 page lists a contoured seat with an adjustable backrest on a step-through frame, and the B3650 pictures show a mesh backrest on a seat that slides 483MM on a toggle rod. Three bikes are too few to call a market, so read this page as three listings, not a ranking. Compare resistance first: the HR-B8C lists 16 magnetic levels, the HR-B8A1 14 magnetic levels turned with a dial, and the B3650 16 electromagnetic levels in four bands, 1-4 to 13-16.
The listings are thin where it matters. The HR-B8C and B3650 pages have no written description, only pictures, and the HR-B8A1 text lists no weight capacity, size, bike weight or rider height range. The HR-B8C shows its 400LBS capacity and a 146-195cm (4.8-6.4ft) rider height range in one gallery picture only. The B3650 gives 135kg load-bearing in kilograms only, a size of 1550mm high, 1500mm long and 660mm wide that one picture says was measured by hand with a possible error of 1-3CM, and a table that prints a gross weight of 63kg beside a net weight of 58 Grams. Two model names conflict: the HR-B8C title says B8C while its headline picture prints HR-B8A, and the HR-B8A1 text calls the bike HR-B8A Re.
HARISON's terms apply to all three. Its return policy allows a return within 30 days of delivery, but you pay the return shipping, 30% of the refund is kept as the original shipping cost, and a 10% restocking fee can apply if parts are missing. Refunds go to the original payment method within 2 working days of processing, and the policy says a full return can take up to two weeks. Product pages promise a 30-day trial and do not mention the 30% deduction. Shipping to US addresses is free; the policy estimates 7 to 15 days and also says most orders arrive within 10 to 20 business days after 3 to 5 business days of processing. Product pages promise a one-year warranty that covers free replacement of spare parts (some say 12 months), but the warranty registration page asks for an Amazon order ID, and no page we found sets out coverage or exclusions.
The B3650 lists features the other two do not: 17 preset programs, hand-held pulse sensing, built-in speakers, a 12.5kg flywheel set and an external power supply (9V, 1300mA); its pictures and category call it commercial but give no usage rating. Only the HR-B8A1 has a written description, and much of it is marketing copy rather than specifications. Web searches on October 22, 2026 found no independent test of any of the three, and only the HR-B8A1 page shows reviews: 291 announced at 4.99 on average, none marked as a verified owner. Ask [email protected] for the weight limit, rider height range and size in writing. For a wider look, see our comparison of five HARISON exercise bikes.

A bike with a backrest seat, as these listings describe it. The HR-B8C pictures show a mesh backrest and side armrests, the HR-B8A1 page lists an adjustable backrest on a step-through frame, and the Discover B3650 pictures show a mesh backrest on a seat that slides 483MM. All three come from one store, HARISON, so this page cannot compare stores.
Two of the three pages give one. The HR-B8C lists 400LBS in one gallery picture only, and the Discover B3650 pictures give 135kg load-bearing, in kilograms only, so convert before you compare. The HR-B8A1 text lists no weight capacity. Ask HARISON in writing which figure applies to the bike you choose.
The HR-B8C pictures name 16 levels of magnetic resistance, with a knob scale of 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16. The HR-B8A1 text lists 14 levels of magnetic resistance turned with a dial. The Discover B3650 pictures describe 16 electromagnetic levels in four bands, 1-4 Stroll, 5-8 Ride steadily, 9-12 Aerobic and 13-16 Exercise, plus 17 preset programs.
At $1,599.99 its pictures list 17 preset programs, hand-held pulse sensing on the armrest grip, built-in speakers, a 12.5kg flywheel set and an external power supply of 9V and 1300mA. The $419.99 HR-B8C and $499.99 HR-B8A1 pages list none of these. Its pictures call it commercial but give no usage rating, and it gives its size and weight with conflicting units.
Mostly, by HARISON's account. The HR-B8A1 page promises 90% pre-assembly and a bike ready to ride in about 20 minutes, and the HR-B8C pictures carry a 90% pre-assembly claim and a '20 mins' installation start that no text repeats. The Discover B3650 pages give no assembly figure.
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery, but you pay return shipping, 30% of the refund is kept as the original shipping cost and a 10% restocking fee can apply if parts are missing. Shipping to US addresses is free, with 7 to 15 days in one place and 10 to 20 business days in another. Product pages promise a one-year warranty (some say 12 months), but no page we found sets out coverage, and the registration page asks for an Amazon order ID.
