Magnetic Recumbent Bike with Adjustable Resistance and Transport Wheels NS-716R

I'm pretty picky about the quality of tools/equipment I buy. If it goes together well, I'm impressed. Well, I'm impressed by this bike. The instructions were really clear and all of the parts were well packed, well marked and super easy to assemble. The bolts and nuts were shrink-wrapped onto a piece of cardboard and all were grouped and labeled. They even give you all of the tools you need for assembly. Every bolt hole lined up perfectly and there were no stripped bolts. I put this together myself, although connecting the piece with the resistance cable could use an extra pair of hands. Not required, but would make it easier. The bike itself is comfortable to use and pedals very smoothly and quietly. You could probably use this while someone was sleeping in the same room. No annoying beeps or whirring noise. Overall, I'm extremely impressed and would recommend buying.

I am very impressed with this exercycle! It's hard to imagine a better product for the price. It's very sturdy, and the design is simple but well thought out. My list of Pros and Cons: PROS: 1. Very sturdy. 2. Excellent design. 3. Assembly is easy except for the tension control. 4. The screen is easy to see. 5. Good tech support. CONS: 1. It's not for tall users; I'm guessing anyone over 6 feet. It would be nice if Marcy added some length. 2. Attaching the tension control is Hard. 3. The "wheels" are useless on carpet. 4. It's best used on a hard surface; there's a SMALL amount of side-to-side motion on carpet. 5. The tension (pedaling difficulty) is not used for the display, especially : Speed, Distance, Odometer, Calories. If you were pedaling up a steep hill or very fast (high tension) those statistics would increase. The bike just measures RPM's and translates that to the display stats wo regard for tension. You'll have to let virtue be it's own reward here :) 6. I would be a bit more comfortable with the seat lower and tilted further back. but this is a minor quibble. It may have a lot to do with my height. Since I'm over 6 feet tall I fastened an old pair of orthotics to the pedals and I pedal in bare feet. This gives me just enough extra length to comfortably use the bike. The pros are huge and the cons are are all minor. This is a GREAT exercycle, especially for the price! I HIGHLY recommend it.

Great bike. I bought one for my son and used it while visiting him. It was quiet, relatively easy to assemble, comfortable and stable. I bought one for myself. I have it on a yoga mat but that's not necessary.

I bought two of these, one for each place I stay during the week. I love this recumbant bike. It's a fantastic value for the cost. Cons My husband put this together. There is no way I could have done that. Pay to get it assembled if needed. Only other gripe- it does not save the odometer reading. I was looking forward to seeing 500 miles, but my batteries died at 475 miles. When you take out the batteries, you lose your total miles. I know that's minor, but I would love to see total lifetime miles. I keep track of it myself now.

This bike has been very helpful with leg rehab. It took some time to put together but is working well and operates quietly. We have not tried the small battery operated timer panel.

I got this bike on prime day for somewhere in the arena of $180. I’m not mad about the pricing because I think that’s all it’s worth. The assembly process was a little frustrating. Some of the pieces you are told to screw down and then cannot access the holes for next step and have to undo your progress. Attaching the tension cable was also annoying as it didn’t immediately fit the way it was supposed to. It didn’t mention anything about adjusting the nut to get a proper fit, so after a few minutes of fruitlessly tugging on the tension cable I noticed this guy and gave myself more room to work with lol (circled the nut in picture). Now that it’s assembled the handles will not stay tightened. They just immediately loosen up and rock back and forth. The knob to adjust the tension is tough to get moving at first, but has since become easier. The bike is pretty light weight so it sometimes shifts. I’m sure I could put it on a mat and prevent that, right now it’s just on hardwood. The electronics are fairly simple, and if you are using the panel to monitor your progress then you will need to reset it every time you do a new workout because it keeps your progress there. I use an Apple Watch but like to compare between the two. The comparisons show little variation. Overall, the bike works and I would only buy again if it was at the cheaper price point.

I bought this specifically for the short term, during the COVID-19 outbreak, since all gyms are closed and it is not a real option to go outside to get my usual exercise. My main goals were to get a solid and quiet recumbent bike that I could use right now with as little investment as possible given I will go back to my usual gym in the near future. But I needed it to be lightweight yet solid enough to actually deliver a decent workout. I was skeptical about assembling a recumbent bike myself, but there is no way I was going to spend $700 on a bike for the short term which likely is much larger and too unwieldy. So I went with this one which is kind of an 'off' brand compared to Nautilus or the other brands I looked at. The bike arrived in a 50 pound box about 3' x 2' x 2' (estimated.) It took me about 90 minutes to put together. Was very easy except for two things 1.) securing the handlebar and 2.) securing the tension wiring. The instructions say to secure the handlebar screws AFTER securing the seat... but you cannot get the screws in for the handlebar when the seat is already in place. So put the handlebar on before the seat. Second, the internal tension wiring apparatus and how to connect the upper part to the lower part neglected to indicate you have to cut off the ziptie and lower the large metal catch to actually connect the two pieces. Even the way I describe this here is unclear. But basically you just have to play with it until it works. Only thing I can recommend is DO NOT pull it too hard or tight, it does not need to be pulled apart with great force, rather the large metal catch needs to be lowered. In terms of the machine itself, pros are: - Works well - Streamlined design - Pedals are smooth during rotation - Very quiet - Seat is a very good large size - Padding on seat and back are very sufficient - Timing/calorie/laps mechanism works well and is simple - Tension levels are very different and truly go from light to hard - Not too heavy - Easy enough to move from one room to another I really do not have any cons because as I said in my headline, I just did not have unrealistic expectations. I will definitely use this daily and can see myself keeping this for quite a while. I am very pleased with the item and recommend it. I will update in a few weeks to report on how it has held up.

Bought this on sale for my wife, who wanted one thinking it would make all the difference and then almost never uses it. Whatever. Regardless, here's my review: I'm a personal trainer who works at a fitness center. Recumbent bikes but are still my best recommendation for people starting out who want to build cardio and burn calories at higher intensities than walking. I find they make it easier to put in longer sessions than almost any other machine, even walking a treadmill, they are easier on the butt and back than upright cycles, and are a lot easier on the joints than jogging. Weight bearing exercise, like walking, should still be progressively added to your regimen, as comfort allows. I didn't curse much while putting this thing together and I've got a short fuse for that kind of thing so that's a good sign. I've used it a couple times and broken a sweat. It's not noticeably flawed or uncomfortable. Digital display is simple but adequate. Main complaints: The directions are good except for one part where I had to take the seat bottom off again in order to attach the handlebar properly. That was a definite flaw in instruction steps order. The resistance doesn't go very high. It would be nice, in this day and age where everyone has a mobile device, if there were a little shelf for a phone or tablet, to watch Netflix or whatever. The digital display is not very entertaining. Overall a good piece of equipment for the price. Glad to have it added to the household.

Had been searching for a suitable exercise bike for an 83 year mate..We already had tried 2 but this product suits his requirements immeasurably..He is able to sit comfortably and do the level of exercise he chooses. Great exercise bike

La silla es bastante buena en relación calidad-precio, el asiento y respaldo son acolchonado así que no cansa estar sentado pedaleando tanto tiempo. El único detalle es que se mueve un poco en donde se ajusta y atornilla la distancia de la silla hacia los pedales, cuando pedaleas suena un poco. La pantalla digital funciona con 2 baterías AA y es bastante útil pues mide tiempo, velocidad, distancia y calorías. La recomiendo!!

For the price it is a quality bike. It seems solid and easy to use. The resistance could be stronger but then again, I'm using it to get back into exercising. It's comfortable enough to use for longer periods. I'm up to 45min so far. I pedal away watching TV. Better than being on the couch. During assembly there is one step where it states you should have 2 people - they're not kidding as I tried alone and struggled through that part. Once assembled, it's easy to move around. The screen is very basic compared to those in the gym, but I rarely looked at them anyways.

Seat was damaged but no guarantee outside USA.

Love, Love, Love this bike, but despise exercise. However, I was forced to research a bike for the purpose of recovering from a posterior hip surgery, 4 mo ago) My husband spent 40 minutes putting it together (with a few screws leftover 😳) while I untaped and disposed of packaging. The screws and bolts are vacuum sealed onto a cardboard with the part numbers on it, so if you rip it open, it’s easy to mess up the part numbers. I took a picture of it before hand, making it easier. Anyhow, this bike is my new best friend!! It is easy to get on and off and is super sturdy and although it sits on a shag carpet, it does not move. It has a soft, wide padded seat and padded back which has great support. The handle bars at the sides of the seat have a nice spongy grip but not too spongy. With each setting of the dial you can definitely feel the resistance between the settings. I am starting at number 3 and can feel the pull. There is a display unit, which I’m sure belongs in a doll house with clowns as it’s quality does not match the rest of the bike. The numbers are big, and jump around to whatever else it’s supposed to display, and the button is big and plastic. I am going to put a bag over it, so I can stop the eye-rolling when I look at it! BUT the bike is amazing. I am working out my legs (they have no muscle) and feel it will help me more than anything else I’ve tried. It is super quiet and is set up infront of the TV. I also use the handle bars (while standing in front of the bike) to do stretching, squats and vertical pushups. I am 5’4” tall and can reach the peddles easy. There is another setting to bring a shorter person closer to the peddles. The peddles are nice, sturdy and wide (I wear crocks when using). I seriously researched other bikes and so glad I bought this. My husband is 5’ 11” and weighs 208 lbs. Once he finished putting the bike together, he gave it a try. (While I was thoughtfully thinking about my recent surgery and left over screws) 😳 He was absolutely sweating at 5 min and shaking when he removed himself from it. I knew then, the bike was gonna be a keeper! Buy it, it’s lovely and it’s gonna work regardless of your body type. Ps. This is my humble opinion and was purchased for my surgical recovery (talk to your doctor if you’re recovering from THR) also, I’m thinking it’s never a good idea to have extra screws and bolts left over but not worth the argument 😂 keep the tools it comes with to retighten every now and then. Shipping was fast. Thank you 🌷🌷
