Marcy Foldable Upright Exercise Bike with Adjustable Resistance for Cardio Workout & Strength Training - Multiple Styles Available

This is a great bike for me. It was easy to assemble, all loose parts are blister packed, none get lost, the instructions were clear. The bike looks great, we got the white version which my wife liked enough to let me keep the bike out in view when not in use, but I appreciate the compact footprint that is still a stable ride.y.I am getting physical therapy that begins with 10 minutes on an exercise bike. I matched the resistance setting on their bike with this one, it falls between 5 and 6 on the NS-262. It is incredibly quiet, stable, and comfortable, The seat is very comfortable. Wide and made of a firm but flexible rubber, i am never aware of the seat, it is that comfortable. And this is the least priced of the offerings from Marcy based in Pomona California. I', 215 lbs at 5'11 and find the bike the right size but my wife enjoys it as well. This was a good purchase.

Does the job for a petite (4'11"), fit, experienced road cyclist and mountain bikerI have had this bike for 1.5 years now and am still happily using it.My criteria:I wanted to find an easy-to-assemble, light, portable stationary bike to supplement outdoor cycling and mountain biking. I have access to a Peloton at work but wanted something for the home. This bike took me about 20 minutes to assemble on my own and was easy for me to lift and carry up the stairs as a fit, petite woman in my 40s.My top three concerns with this bike were:1. Size/Fit: Will it be too big for my 4'11 height?2. Difficulty: Will the resistance be high enough to be a worthwhile ride?3. Stability: Will the bike feel sturdy? Can I stand and sit and mimic outdoor riding?Reviews were inconsistent regarding the height issue so here's a review from the perspective of someone that owns several different types of bikes, has been road cycling and mountain biking for 20+ years, bikes weekly, and has logged hundreds of hours on road, mountain, and stationary bikes, in rides up to 100 road miles in a day.1. Size/FitThis works just fine for 4'11." Plus, I have short legs so I would even say 4"10'. I suspect for people that are complaining it is too big, there are two reasons:a) Your knee should have just a slight bend in it when fully extended during the long part of the pedal stroke. Many newbies don't realize this and try to ride with the seat too low.b) If I sit on the front edge of the seat, it more closely mimics riding on a road bike, and that is where the height works for me. If I were to sit all the way back in the seat, "as designed" then yes, the bike is too big for me and I would not be able to properly reach the pedals. However, I wouldn't ride like that anyway because this is a very wide, bench-like seat, and too recumbent/not like a road or mountain bike if sitting all the way back. That said, if you are a petite man or woman in your 70s/less fit/more frail you may want to sit further back on the almost bench-like seat, and then yes, the bike would be too big for you.2. Difficulty/ResistanceIt's not going to feel like you're powering up a steep hill but when set to level 6-8, the resistance is good enough that you will be able to get your heart rate up and get a good ride out of it, even if you're in great shape. Again, I mountain bike, road bike, and do Peloton rides that get my heart rate up in the 85% range as a fit woman (according to my doctor, my fitness instructors, and my Fitbit) in my 40s. There is enough resistance here. I wish I could crank it up to a 10 or 11, and that would more closely mimic the resistance that I use on a Peloton but it's not bad for such an inexpensive bike. For those that use Peloton Power Zone rides, I converted the difficulty level for each setting on this bike to the approximate zone on the Peloton, and always use this bike with the Peloton app. It's not as fun as riding on my real Peloton in the office gym but it's surprisingly satisfying.3. SturdyI put this on a cycling pad on my carpet and had no problems with a sturdy ride. I can stand and sit just fine during a ride, although I am still a little more cautious about doing it on this bike whereas I don't think twice about sitting and standing on a Peloton. I do check and tighten screws occasionally, with the assumption that an inexpensive bike has to be maintained more carefully. So far, no problems!

When I first purchased this bike, there was an issue with the main frame that caused there to only be a single level of resistance. I contacted the manufacturer, who very quickly sent a replacement part.Now that I'm on my second iteration of this bike, I quite like it. It's incredibly quiet and functions exactly as I need it to. I'm not looking to do any heavy-duty, spin class type biking on this -- I'm rehabbing an injury and starting out light and slow. I feel good that as my injury heals I'll be able to enjoy the heavier resistance of this bike. For an inexpensive, foldable and not terrible looking little bike, it fits the bill perfectly. For those who it helps, I'm 5'4, and I adjust the seat to the second lowest setting.This would have been a 5 star bike if I didn't have to assemble this bike, find out it was broken, then disassemble and reassemble with the replacement part. Assembly isn't terribly difficult, but it's still a pain to do all the extra work. Looking through reviews, it doesn't look like my experience was a one-off.
