Easy to assemble. Took my time. Flimsy connection for the monitor to record exercise. Although mine isn’t connected and it would be too much of s hassle to disassemble to fix I am using the bike and getting the results I want. I use my iPhone to record timing. Great for using during the cold weather season

[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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions were easy to follow and the bike was easy to assemble. Everything was clearly marked and easy to associate with the included directions. The tools are provided but I prefer my powered driver. It took me exactly one hour to assemble and the only problem I had was that one of the seat tabs was bent and had to be straightened, other than that everything was well packed and padded. There is a manual online just in case you lose yours and a toll free number if you need help or parts. The wheels on the front make it easy to move around. For a 150.00$ means it's not the cheapest or the most expensive but for someone needing a good bike, this fits the price. The step through design makes it easier to use, especially for those using it for rehab or for the elderly. It did take a little while to get used to the recumbent position when you have ridden upright cycles, but once you get everything adjusted it's easy to operate and the tension knob is easy to use. The seat is okay, but could use more padding, and easy to adjust and I'm 6'3", someone under 5' may have trouble reaching the pedals. The easy-to-read computer requires 2 AA batteries and displays speed, distance, time, and calories burned with a single button but the calorie checker may not match up to your actual results.

Since I am 82 years old, I bought it for my circulation, since I live in Florida it is to hot, in the summer, to walk. I like the comfortable seat and back, they are padded. I also like the variations in tension. There is nothing I don't like about my cycle.

I just picked up this bike today at Walmart (12/12/16) it was not due until the 15th, It took me just under an hour to assemble. The instructions were very clear and the illustrations were great. All parts were there. I am 66 y.o.a. and assembled it all by myself, but I will count that time as my first workout. Product seems very well made and of sturdy construction it easily supports my 6' 230 lb. frame. It is very silent during operation and smooth to operate. Only time will tell if it holds up. I am very satisfied with the product, especially at the price.

After 2 hours of putting this bike together the computer didn't work. The computer is a cheap plastic piece. Trying to peddle this bike it skips for the first two turns. I had a less expensive upright bike that I replaced with this Marcy one. Not at all happy with this purchase . If there was a way to return it I would. Money wasted.

The seat is unconfutable, But I will not complain, it does what I wanted it to do at a great price. I put a foam seat on it a lot better. Some reviews said it was noisy, but I found that not true in my case. It is very quiet. Easy to put together . If you follow according to instructions. Easy to move around. I put my ipad on it and watch TV as I go. Thank you for a great product. I just hope it stands up to time. Purchased 2 Weeks ago.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Marcy product was the item we was looking for months and we are happy with this exercise bike. My wife is using it daily she say it's comfortable due to the adjustable seat. The resistance levels is another good feature for first time users as we are. It looks cheap and but just what we need.

I bought this bike after researching online several bike products. Unfortunately the bike is too big even on the shortest leg length. I can barely reach the pedals even when I scoot up to the tip of the seat. (Even the model on this website is sitting awkwardly closer to the front of the seat). I should've used better judgment. (For reference I am just under 5 feet.)
