[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Marcy NS-1201R Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike is simple to put together and takes a small amount of time. The Booklet that is included has very good instructions and pictures to assist in assembly. My 12 year old Granddaughter and i put it together with only one simple problem. After it was assembled i read the manual on how it operates and climbed on board to give it a spin. The booklet says the LCD screen wakes up when you begin to cycle but i noticed it did not on mine. I tried pushing the buttons on the screen and the screen lite up but showed stop in top corner even though i was pedaling. I took the screen off and checked the electrical connection and that was fine. Then i checked the connection where the front post connects to the main body and found one of the connections had been bent down. After straightening the connector it worked fine. This exerciser uses magnetic resistance which is adjusted by the user with a knob on the front post to increase or decrease the difficulty of the pedaling. It goes from 1 with is easy to 8 which is hardest. The LCD screen shows how you are doing by scanning your speed, distance, time and calories burned. It keeps a running record of your workout or you can clear the record by holding down the reset button. The seat is very comfortable and adjustable and can get you closer to the pedals or further away as needed. You can hang onto the handle bars next to the screen or the ones located at seat level. I wish the seat back adjusted forward or backward independent to the seat but it does not. The bike is well built and i saw no defects in welds and bolts went into place easily. The bike is quiet and smooth to operate and i feel i will use a lot more than i would go to a gym due to the convenience of having equipment at home.

The bike was so easy only took our 23 years old grandson 1 hour after I had unboxed it. My husband and I are 67 & 69 we needed it to get more exercise when it's to hot or cold to go outside. Seat wobbles but not to bad. Settings are easy to use. We purched a BBQ cover for it as it is on our patio and the bike covers has bikes on them " dead giveaway " being in apartments we wanted it to blend in. Love that we don't need to drive to the gym to bike and drive back home. Gym Times two = $220.00 a year. This cost $132.00 pays for its self in six months. If we don't go to the gym we stell owe them, win, win all around.

I got this for my dad but the resistance was too hard on low setting. Well, it was fine at first but strokes got harder. This really bothers me because a recumbent bike can be GREAT for the knees but not with too much resistance. It turns out the vheap belt inside was misaligned and stripping on each stroke, which would explain why the resistance was so hard on low setting. What a letdown, waste of money, and motivation sapper as it was the first time I got him interested in exercising. Would I buy this brand again. No way.

Bike went together flawlessly in about 45 minutes. Only set back was screwing final pedal in place the threads on pedal arm and the pedal stud were burred a little bit preventing it from screwing together. Had to run a tap in the pedal arm and a die over the pedal stud. I'm sure it was a fluke, good bike.

Bike arrived early and wasn’t to bad to put together. I did use my own Phillips screwdriver which made it slightly quicker. Definitely two people to put the goose neck on with the cable. The directions didn’t specify to turn the nut and unscrew the cable holder so you can install the canl then turn it back where it was but I figured it out. The bike really works well and I am very satisfied with it. The tension is easy to adjust and the instrumentation is easy to read and setup.

Having the bike put together tonight only to discover that the seat was not included in the box. Instead I received 2 backs. Also it is taking over 2 hours for my brother to assemble. I think I'm done with online purchases at least for a while. Sooo mad right now!!!

I have mobility issues and I am able to safely get on and off of it. I am now able to get some cardio activity. The only con is the seat while I love the size it is not soft and I have to use a seat cushion on it.

Shipping was fast. So far so good ,easy to assemble, works fine. Use it for total knee replacement twice a day, plus wife is using to help her loose weight, and it is working for both.

Fairly easy to put together, but once I figured out how to align the holes setup was a breeze. Quiet, smooth and easy riding. I'm falling in love with my stationary bike more each day, thanks Marcy/Walmart

it goes really smooth and I can change the pressure on the pedal which I like. use it every day and its so quite. its really a great bike. Easy to put together about a hour then I was using it thanks to my hand man husband.
