There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This afternoon it came. The box is smaller than I expected and without any damage, so I had a second thought. Give it a try, if it works fine, I will give it to my wife. She can put it in the Morning Room and use it while watching Family Feud. The MaxKare Black is bigger and will be in the basement for my use only.
While I put the things together I found that the contents in the box have minimum protection. The instruction is clear. the parts are well marked even though some drawings are in backward (Chinese way, I guess). In the middle of assembling, I found the soft plastic cover of the Main Frame has a crack and dents in some areas (it has no real protection in the box. other parts rest on it and damage it in shipping.) I kept going thinking that I will return the whole thing after the test drive.
After finishing the assembly process without any mistake (with ease). Everything was nice and tight. I put it in front of the family room TV and started the exercise. After the first 1/2 hr, I did not want to come down because it was so nice and comfortable on the bike. The seat is much better than my mountain bike (Specialized Hardrock) or my comfort bike (Iron Horse) that I am using for everyday exercising. The mechanism runs very smooth and quiet. even though the bike foot print is small (1 foot X 2 feet) and on carpet, it feels more solid than my bikes so I bike most of the time with no hand touching the handle bar. The resistance is great and more than I really need. At 1, It feels like I am going 1 degree down hill. At 2, It feels like flat road at 6 mile/hr. At 3, flat road at 10 mile/hr.... At 5, you are going up hill a bit...At 8, it's a small hill. It's not a challenge for a serious rider but for an old guy like me, it's more than enough.
Even though I just play with it for an hour, I have enough evaluations for the product (I do test for a living). It's solid and will last for awhile if it's used correctly (don't drop it moving or step on the casing of the Main Frame, don't bike backward, don't force the resistance control beyond 1 or 8, use blue lock-tide the next time you tighten nuts and bolts...) The short life items on this bike are: the seat, peddles (plastic with no bearing), internal belt (guess), computer button (leave it at Time because everything else is off. It powers on and off automatically), resistance control cable and knob. So be easy with them.
After the test, I decided to keep the bike, saving me time from returning it. I called the distributor to resolve the broken Main Frame cover. The call went through without any long waiting period and the representative agreed to send replacement part. I don't know how long it's going to take but they have 2 weeks to correct their problem. So far I am happy with the service and the bike. With 2 year warranty, I think this bike is a great deal.
Now I just have an idea. I will get rid of the couch and chairs in my family room and put 3 or 4 more Marcy bikes in front of the TV for the entire household.
It took me about an hour to put together the Marcy Upright Mag Cycle, and most of that was reading the instructions (67 yo, 5'7" female, not accounting for shrinking height). The instructions were well-written enough, but I guess I developed brain fog at some point. My confusion began at step one, line C. I finally got the bike put together, but had two washers and two bolts left over. I telephoned customer service, and after waiting 7+ minutes on the phone what sounded like the same female that answered went through the instructions (which were still confusing) and it suddenly occured to me as I stood looking at the Marcy that perhaps I had put the rear Stabilizer on upside down. I thanked the representative who agreed the Stabilizer could be installed "either way," reversed the bar, and to no surprise it worked. Wish I'd figured it out sooner, but, remember, brain fog. I hadn't noticed the labels on the rear Stabilizer so be sure the labels are facing up and the bottom bolts and washers will work just fine.
I really like the small foot-print of this cycle, and the tension does leave something to be desired, but otherwise, it is a nice little cycle to burn some calories, and is very quiet. I didn't find connecting the tension cable particularly difficult, but the tension is not strong, and is a bit choppy past settings 3 or 4, but easy to cycle. Perhaps it will smooth out with use. Bike seats are traditionally uncomfortable, but as I cycle in the summer months and have recently been using the Proform, the seat didn't seem any more uncomfortable than any other bike seat. A strong, firm seat is needed when cycling, so uncomfortable is expected.
I was pleased to receive the Marcy intact (with a few scuff marks) and with no missing parts, cracks or hardware. I wish the tension was stronger, but movement is what is important for me, and I do like the size. Hopefully, it will work until I find a suitable replacement, and if it works long enough perhaps I will just keep it. The small size is screaming for me to do so. It's not going on the road so I can live without (sadly) the reading rack and can place a glass of water on the side table. Always drank the water before I got on the Proform, and it had a place for a water bottle. Then, there's always the TV, which requires neither book platform nor water bottle holder. The readout is large, but it must be cleared after each use if you want to start over. The handlebars are lower than I like and can't be raised, so I sit up straight with my hands off the handlebar most of the time. Gives a pretty good workout though. Accomodates my long legs nicely.
A nice cycle for the price point. Received the day after ordering from Amazon. What's not to love?! Happy cycling!
UPDATE: March 13, 2013. I've had bike for just under a month and other than the seat covering beginning to wear just under the edge, no problems. It is quiet, sturdy, and frankly, I find the seat reasonably comfortable. I use the bike nearly everyday, sometimes more, because it is so accessible and takes up so little space. I could not be happier with this purchase. Why spend $400?!

La bicicleta es súper silenciosa y los niveles de resistencia que maneja son bastante buenos.
El asiento es ligeramente cómodo, no es el mejor pero es aceptable.
If though youre just like me wanting to burn a few calories extra while pedaling a bike suitable for very tall people (not as easy to find as I thought being 6"3) while not taking up much room space at all surprisingly, then this is definitely one of the best you'll find.
