Home Fitness Personal Exercise Bike with Adjustable Magnetic Resistance for Cardio Workout and Cycle Training

Long review, please read to the end of you're thinking about buying one of these bikes: So, just purchased this bike. I know it well as this one is replacing the same bike I purchased back in April 2013! The old one got heavily used over the past decade, in fact I flipped the Odometer 4 times! The bike was a big help to me as during that time I lost a total of 160lbs, the first 100lbs was by adjusting my diet alone after a while I plateaued, and it was recommended to me to add some cardio workouts to my life. I'm not into too going to the gym so I opted for at home equipment. This bike was what I selected and it really helped me to breakthrough and lose another 60lbs. I continued to use it on and off over the years. The old one still works, however the seat bracket cracked, seat is still on its just loose. Unfortunately, I gained back a good portion of the weight and being 10 years older in my late 50s now I've opted for weight loss surgery. That being said, I was advised once again to have some post surgery activities lined up, ones that I enjoy. I didn't give it a second thought, I hopped on Amazon, shopped some other brands and styles and settled on the Marcy ME709 for a second time! I mean, I used the crap out of the first one with no issues, the price was only slightly higher. So here I am 10 years later with a brand new one! It's virtually the same, they did upgrade the computer, it's easier to reset and the digits have a cool green glow now versus the LCD style the old one had. If you're on the fence buy this bike!!! It is super durable, great quality and very affordable, and not hard to assemble. Shout out to the Marcy Fitness folks, thank you for still making these available!

This is a very good exercise bicycle. Assembly was a little challenging but with neighbor's help got it done. It is easy to move from place to place and is quiet when using. Glad I decided to get this bicycle.

On balance, I have been very pleased with this product. It is incredibly quiet and very well built. The only problem I have had was in the assembly, "Step 1." The design calls for the rear portion of the frame to slip into the front part of the frame. As designed, the two parts are supposed to slip together, with a knob that is supposed to pull up so that you can easily adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals to fit your height and the length of your legs. To tighten the joint between the two frame pieces, there is a plastic sleeve in the front piece of the frame that the back piece is supposed to slide into, reducing the anular space between the assembled pieces and firming up the joint. On my bike, the plastic sleeve was a shade too thick (or a hair misshapen) which precluded the two pieces from easily sliding together. In order to put the pieces together it was necessary to completly remove the adjustment knob, insert the back piece into the front piece as far as it would go (not very far), and then pound the back piece into the front piece with a five-pound rubber mallet until the appropriate length was obtained and the holes lined up so that the adjustment knob could be replaced. After this problem was overcome the rest of the assembly went very smoothly. Although the distance between between the seat and pedals is not "easily adjustible" without the mallet, that is not important to me because I am the only person who uses or will be using the bike. Other than this one, now inconsequential, assemby problem, the bike has performed flawlessly. It is very solid, steady and well put together. It is also incredibly quiet and well balanced. The resistance adjustment works the way it is supporsed to, providing progressive resistance to promote either a cardio workout and endurance or strength impovement and endurance. I can't really comment extensively on the "computer" other than to say that it seems to work the way it's supposed to. I don't really pay attention to the computer. I use my watch to time my workouts, and I set the resistance by "feel" to accomplish the purpose I am looking for. All-in-all, I think this is a very good product, especially for the price. I really have no need for all the bells and whistles on the more expensive bikes from other manufacturers. I do wish, however, that Marcy would improve its quality control on that plastic sleeve insert. It would seem to be a simple matter to make sure the two frame pieces actually slide together easily before the bike leaves the plant. That's the only reason I gave this product four stars instead of five.

I’m am a taller guy at 6’2” and was looking for a sit down exercise bike that actually works for taller people. After searching everywhere and reading way too many reviews, I finally took a chance on the Marcy ME-709 Recumbent Exercise Bike. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier. This bike is a perfect fit for me and I’m confident it would work for anyone up to 6’7” or even 6’8” (See Video). What really stands out is how comfortable it is to ride being tall. A lot of exercise bikes don’t leave enough leg room for taller riders, but this one gives me full extension without feeling cramped. The seat is supportive, the backrest makes it easy on my lower back, and the pedals are well positioned. Setup was easy and I had it put together in under an hour with no problems. It’s also completely silent when riding, so I can use it early in the morning or late at night without disturbing anyone (3rd floor apartment). The bike is compact too, not taking up much space, which is a big plus. Other reasons I recommend the Marcy ME-709: Adjustable resistance so you can go from an easy spin to a harder workout Sturdy build that feels solid, even at my height Clear display for time, speed, distance, and calories Affordable price compared to other sit down exercise bikes (The best price and value from over a month of searching) If you’re a taller person looking for a sit down exercise bike, the Marcy ME-709 is absolutely worth it. Easy to assemble, quiet, comfortable, and with plenty of room for long legs, it checks every box I was looking for.

Estaba preocupado por los daños en el empaque y en la bicicleta que se leen en algunos comentarios de esta y otras bicicletas fijas. Me sorprendió gratamente ver lo bien empacada y protegida que viene las partes de la bici. Por otro lado, las especificaciones del acero empleado y tornillería se me hacían exageradas, pensaba que estaban sobradas, pero al ver el estrés al que se someten durante el uso, se justifican, de hecho hay que reapretar fuertemente las uniones de estructura al inicio. El único tema menor que veo es el cambio de largo para cambiar de persona grande a chica, tuve que lubricar largo guía por que resultaba difícil el ajuste , al igual añadí un par de cinchos (ver foto) para tirar de ellos y facilitar reducir el tamaño. La computadora no hay instrucción de uso, para resetear los contadores tiene que ser en “stop” darle reset. Fuera de eso se me hace una compra justa y buena.

Very easy installation.. very compact and feels solid in design.. perfect for an inhouse exercise bike. May not be a pro one,but suits basic exercise needs.

The Marcy recumbent exercise bike has turned out to be a really good buy. My partner and I, mainly him, put it together following the detailed instructions. It takes up surprisingly less room than we expected. It was easily adjustable to suit a tall 6 foot 3 inch person who needs to exercise without bearing body weight on sore knees. The screen is large and the digits are easy to read from the seat. Highly recommend this bike.

I was looking for an affordable recumbent bike for at home as my back tends to get really sore with regular upright stationary bikes. For $250 CAD this bike is perfect! Some pros - very easy and quick to assemble (took about 45 mins with 2 people) - super quiet - smooth pedalling - the little computer is easy to read (but doesn’t light up in case you are using it in a dark room) - computer uses batteries so no cords on the ground - easy to adjust the resistance A few cons - my butt/tailbone gets a little sore after using it for longer amounts of time (30+ min) but for what it’s worth the seat, back and armrests are comfortable enough! - it’s hard to adjust for different users - it doesn’t have a sliding seat and takes a bit of force For the price, I wasn’t expecting anything fancy so the bike meets my expectations! I do wish it had a cup holder but that’s not a deal breaker. There’s no fan, but I have a clip USB fan that attaches to the handlebars for a bit of extra airflow, too.

C'était livraison en 2 jours et il y a eu seulement un jour de retard. Le vélo est arrivé dans une boite soigneusement emballé, morceau par morceau, pour sa protection. Tout est impeccable. Pour l'assemblage,les explications sont offerte en anglais seulement par contre tout est bien imagé en détails et ça été très facile pour moi de comprendre. Ça m'a pris environ 1 h 15 minutes pour l'assembler. Outils nécessaires inclus. C'est un vélo de base et c'est ce que je veux. Il est petit donc ne prend pas de place. Il est léger et se déplace très facilement. Il est très solide, je pèse 301 lbs et je sens qu'il n'a pas peur de moi !! Ce vélo est super silencieux. Franchement, je suis très satisfaite de mon achat. Merci Marcy !
