Marcy Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike with 8 Resistance Levels NS-40502R

Update:12/30/2023 I've put around 100 miles on it and dropped a significant amount of weight. I'm still over the bikes limit, but at least shoes fit in the shoe grips nicely now. All around great bike, lower cost performs well. I did indeed get ankle weights for a tougher ride.8.5/10 a great buy. Get this if you're on a fat-loss journey. Putting it together is a work out, if you use the tools provided make sure you have 5ish hours. Resistance seems weak to me and I wish the panel was back lit not a huge deal.Only complaint is the resistance isn't much, but I'm a bigger guy started at 358 when I got this. I'm down to 354 and I've ramped up to 10 miles per day. Maybe my body weight has made the resistance level weaker.I'm looking at adding ankle weights to increase my workout on this.I also bought a sound mat that goes under this , but its so quiet I'm not sure it was needed.My fan is louder than the bike. I can watch Netflix without headphones and watch my shows fine.

Went together without a problem. Directions were easy to follow. All bolts and parts were clearly marked. Even came with all the tools needed to assemble.The resistance setting are perfect. At level 1 its a bit too easy but would probably be just right for someone looking to rehabilitate from a surgery or maybe in their later years. Levels 4-6 are definitely there to make you sweat and get you feeling the burn. Level 8 is for those who have some major muscle and are use to seriously working out. The magnetic drag is smooth and super quiet.The adjustable seat settings are easy to change and the bike is good and stable. The monitor works great its simple but effective enough for a home gym.I am very impressed with this machine and for the money you cant go wrong. I would recommend it to anyone who is striving to exercise more and get into better shape.I feel better knowing I have this equipment at my house where I can exercise in private.Over all very satisfied with this purchase!

Bike has been great. Was easy to assemble. My 13 year old grandson put it together in about an hour and half. The only down side I’ve found is the seat adjusts with a knob underneath-the reason I rated it 4 stars. I’m short and my husband is tall, so I wish I had realized that before buying it. If that’s not a problem, I recommend this bike. Has panel that tracks time, distance, speed, etc.

My daughter bought one of these and loves it. I tried it and she to fell in love with it. Easy to use, huge comfortable seat cushion and back support, easy to adjust, take-ups very little space, and easy to maneuver. Great price, all the pieces came with it, very sturdy, not terrible to put together, but I had someone more mechanically inclined do it for me. After assembly, I notice some tears in the bottom seat cushion. I called Amazon and they could do was accept the return and send a replacement. That was not an option. I contacted the company and they got back to me on the next business day. They ask for me to submit some photos and I did. Within 7 days I had a new seat. No-fuss - no mess - easy as could be. If you are looking for an exercise bike, this is a solid one for a very reasonable price.

Review for Marcy Recumbent Bike Marcy NS-40502R. Box arrived taped closed but seemed packed well. Someone had opened it before. Even though we love the bike, the organizing and assembly did take about 2 hours. The very last task in assembling is to install the pedals. Right side easy, left side crooked. I am a retired Master Technician and very careful in assembly. The left pedal is reverse thread. It says so, and I know so, because old Dodges are like that on their left wheels for a reason, and I was looking forward to the reverse install of the left pedal. I quickly found the pedal crank was stripped for the first few threads. The pedal was going on crooked. Of course it was the very last step in the instructions. I called Marcy and they said they don't care because I purchased the bike on Amazon. I threatened to send it back and have another one shipped, they still did not care. Choice was replace the bike under Amazon return or fix the threads. I chose not to spend another 2 hours assembling another bike. So I measured the pedal stud and ordered a tap and die on Amazon to repair the hole in the crank. I removed the bike covers for access and tapped the crank hole clean. Pedal screwed right in and we have been using the bike for a couple weeks. Note: Tap size is 12mm x 1.25 Left Handed Thread.The bike is virtually silent and works very well. The bike itself is 5 stars. The damaged threads are anybody's guess as to where that happened. I just know it was not me but easy enough to repair.

I bought this post knee replacement for therapy. Assembly - my husband is very good at assembling, but said some parts could have been higher quality and it was tedious - hence the markdown in number of stars.PROS - it is relatively lightweight, can be moved around short distances - mine is on carpet . It is very quiet. It is easy to adjust the resistance setting. It is comfortable. The display is easy to operate and easy to view. The lip to hold a phone or I-pad is wonderful. I use it 5-6 times a week so obviously I like it.CON - Had I tried this in a store, which was not an option, I would not have bought it. The seat cannot be adjusted while you are sitting on it. Heck, it is difficult to adjust if you are standing beside it! There is a screw type knob located under the seat - loosen it, pull down and slide it backward or forward. Now...try and find the hole for the screw knob to go into without being able to see it. I could not do it myself right after surgery, but now I lie down beside it, unscrew the knob, and slide it back or forward. With the flashlight on my phone, I line it up with the hole and usually hit it on the second, third or fourth try. I will say I am the only one using it, so its not every day, but I do want to change it sometimes for more knee bend or more straightening. Not convenient at all, and if more than one is using it, would be a total pain each time. I should have spent more for the adjustment to be made from above.
