Review 1 for Marcy ME-708 Upright Exercise Bike

Great Stationary Bike

Purchased on line to Store and it arrived within 4 days (and that included the weekend). Hubby put it together in about 30 minutes by himself with no problems and no request for help. I have been riding it for about 1 1/2 weeks. I must say it out beats my Expectations. Extremely quiet....no noise at all! Very well constructed. Monitors work with no problem. I would Absolutely recommend this bike to anyone. It well exceeds the price on it!

Review 2 for Marcy ME-708 Upright Exercise Bike

small and lightweight

This is my third staionary bike and by far the smallest and lightest. I bought my first from Walmart 4 years ago and it lasted 2 years before breaking down to the point it wasn't practical to fix. I'd paid $150 for it so I felt like I had gotten my money out of it. Thinking that a more expensive bike would last longer, I bought one from Amazon for almost $400. It turned out to be a piece of poor engineering. Almost immediately I was having to weld on parts that broke and replace stripped bolts. When the crank broke in half last month I gave up and threw it in the trash. This time I decided to spend the minimum amount and just plan on only getting 2 years life out of one. This Marcy would probably be perfect for someone under 5'9" and under 175 lbs. It is actually very well made and well engineered. It's a snap to assemble. If you are smaller and don't want a strenuous workout, I highly recommend this stationary bike.

I was looking for a basic bike for mainly for my 84yo mother to use, but have been extremely satisfied for overall use. Very easy to to put together 30 minutes or less, super quiet, lightweight and easy to move around, very stable, and easy to use. I have only had this product for a week, but am completely impressed and satisfied.

Didn't work out of the box

This bike was simple enough to put together, but the tension didn't work from the start. It felt like high tension no matter the setting was on and then after using it for 1/2 hour the tension completely let go like it was on the easiest setting. We called the company and they are sending parts to repair it. I gave it a 3 star because it is exactly what you think you are getting and thats what we wanted. If the company comes through and the bike works, I would rate it even higher. My daughter loves the bike she just wishes it worked right away.

I really like this excercise bike. It takes up minimal space, it is easy to move, it has just the basic computer set up, it is well balanced and most of all, it is very quiet. I can watch TV or something on the computer while excercising. Also, the price is right for the product. Assembly was easy. I did site to store being that I had it shipped to a store near me and I picked it up. The bike was neatly packaged and fit very easily into the trunk of my 4 door sedan.

This bike is good if you just want something to use to just exercise. I wouldn't recommend it if you are really trying to lose weight as well as tone you're legs.

Very easy to assemble. The computer looks a little on the cheap side but it does keep track of your progress and is easy to use. The seat easily adjusts for just about every height, we were afraid that it would be too tall but it adjust for shorter heights also. Very nice looking exercise bike. Good value Very Happy.

Love It!

I agree with others that a tall person would be uncomfortable on it. I am 5'3" and feel like it fits me perfectly. Was easy to assemble, Extremely smooth and quiet. Resistance could be more as the max resistance is still fairly easy to pedal. I love it though, have been doing 50 seconds standing pedaling as fast as I can and rest for 15 sitting pedaling slower, for 30 minutes and it is a GREAT workout.

I've had the Marcy for a few weeks now and I love it! The seat is a bit hard, so I bought a bicycle seat cover for it, and now I'm on it every day!

I bought this on a whim, frustrated and needing to get back in shape. I work full time, have 2 kids in every activity possible and am going to school to get my masters degree....finding time to get to a gym or setting aside time for a workout dvd is near impossible. I needed something that if I had a few minutes here or there I could use. I reviewed several exercise bikes on this and other sites before purchasing and this one looked the best for the money. I wanted something I could have in the livingroom to use while watching tv or being with the kids and this is perfect! The bike was easy to put together, it's lightweight so it can be easily moved around, and it's extremely quiet. I went from not exercising at all to riding 2-5 miles a day. I've noticed a huge difference in the 2 weeks I have been using it. We've spent a lot of money on pricey treadmills, ellipticals and other equipment (all which are too big and I don't want in the livingroom) and this is by far the best buy for the money. I would recoommend this to anyone not wanting to invest a ton of money, but wanting results. I'm not an avid bike rider so if you are, the only thing I would mention is the tension may not go high enough for what you're looking for. Extremely satisfied customer!!

Review 16 for Marcy ME-708 Upright Exercise Bike

Not what I expected

I understand this is very inexpensive, but I read all the rave reviews before I purchased and was sold, despite the low price. Assembly was easy, but the quality is probably equal to the price paid. The unit does not have wide enough legs and does not feel as stable as I would like. I have a very low pile firm carpet and when I get on, the bike wobbles some, the seat moves some and the handlebars are angled away from the seat forcing you to lean forward instead of riding the bike upright. I am using the bike to exercise a bad hip, not for aerobics, so I am not riding it fast and I sit up straight without using the handlebars, so I manage. Can't afford to discard and buy something else, but if I had it to do over again, I would not have purchased this bike.

Fantastic bike!

I absolutely love this bike. I love the color (orange fanatic ^.^) and I love that you can easily change the resistance with the turn of a knob. The only thing I would warn about is that the seat is VERY hard. I would suggest getting a foam bike seat to cover it. That is what I am going to do. Right now I'm using a small pillow.
Anyways, VERY easy setup. I did it in less than an hour. I was able to put it together by myself, but some people may need a bit of help from someone else at a few steps.
All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend this bike. It's not super sophisticated, but it's exactly what you pay for.
