Default How to make a recumbent stationary bike more portable

Sorry to cross-post, but I'm hoping someone in one of these groups
might have an idea.

I just purchased a LifeCore recumbent stationary bike, model 900rb.
Here is the web page:

Like most of these small home units, it has wheels built into the
front stabilizer bar. These wheels probably work on hard floors, but
they are way too small for carpet.

I would like to be able to move the bike between two adjacent rooms,
both of which are carpeted. There is also a low metal threshhold
between the rooms, so the wheels will need to be at least 3-4" in
diameter.


From the link you furnished:

"Oversized Transportation Wheels For Added Mobility"

Why not order these wheels and fix it right?


Hmmm... I read that as describing the wheels that come with it. I
don't think they offer an add-on feature of larger wheels. The word
"oversized" is a bit misleading for the wheel it has, but I took that
to be marketing BS. But I'll send them an email and ask. If they have
something, that would be the way to go.
