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

I've had this exercise bike for about 7 months now, and have gotten a decent amount of use out of it during that time. I don't ride it daily or anything, I would guess maybe 2 hours per week on average, as a supplement to my regular daily walks that I take to try and stay more active. I'm 6ft 3in tall, and I can confirm that this bike does work for someone of that height comfortably. I'm not constantly bashing my knees into the handlebars or anything either (every once in a while I might lightly graze them, but that's about it.) If you're also 6'3" and concerned about whether or not this bike will work for you, it will. However, I do remember that the different versions being sold on this page had different models and height recommendations, so make sure you go with the "Upright White" one in particular if you want to be sure it will fit for 6ft 3in height. I don't usually use the collapsible features of the bike, and instead tend to leave it set up in a stationary place. If you do need to move it though, or store it away for a while, it weighs somewhere around 40lbs if memory serves, so it's not so heavy as to be impossible to work around. Do be careful though even then. I moved the bike around a lot when I first got it, intending to move it into the living room to use, and then back into the bedroom to store in a more out-of-the-way place. But it is a bit awkward to move around with something like that, and I tweaked my back a few times in a minor way from moving wrong while trying to carry and maneuver it through doorways and around furniture. So just be careful as you're moving it even though it's not super heavy. Ideally you can do what I eventually did, and find a place to keep it set up and stationary and use it as needed without having to move it around. And speaking of ideal, I would highly recommend you also get yourself a nice gel or foam bike seat cushion to put on it as well. They are not too pricey, perhaps around 15-20 dollars or so depending on the brand and model, and you'll want to double check the dimensions to make sure you get one that's a good fit, but the seat on this bike without a seat cushion felt uncomfortable, and before I had the seat cover for it, I couldn't comfortably use the bike for very long at all (then again, almost all bicycle seats are uncomfortable to me, so your experience may differ.) Adding a seat cover cushion didn't exactly make the comfort level go to 100% or anything, but it makes enough of a difference to be able to enjoy using it for an hour or so without issues. At first, i was super into using the little display that showed all the various metrics, and I usually just left it on the setting that cycles through all of them so I could watch the numbers change as I rode. But eventually the appeal wore off, and I ended up just removing the batteries and using the bike without worrying about the display, and that was fine. This is my first exercise bike I have owned, and I can say I have had a good experience with it, and continue to enjoy using it a few times a week. It has held up well, and I would get another one from this brand again in the future if it came down to it. For me the resistance settings are fine. I started with 4, but eventually settled on 5 as my ideal setting to just hop on and go without having to think about it. I tried 6 for a while and that was fine too, but some days for me it felt like a little too much resistance, where my goal was to ride for longer periods of time rather than push myself to reach higher and higher resistance limits, so 5 is where I keep it at most of the time, and I can just ride for longer periods with no trouble at all. Assembly was pretty easy too from what I remember, and the bike remains sturdy and feels like it will last for some time still. I don't have any concerns about build quality, especially not for the reasonable price for the equipment. It's also very quiet to use, so no need to worry about waking your housemates or causing a lot of ruckus in general. I think it's safe to say that I'm satisfied with my purchase, and feel like I already got plenty of value and use out of it even if it broke tomorrow. But I'm sure it will last for a long time, and I have no concerns about the overall quality. If you're also someone looking to get their first exercise bike like I was, and you're wondering if this will be a good choice, while I don't have experience with others to compare this bike with, I can recommend this one at least based on my own experiences with it. Just get a padded seat cover, and ideally find a good place to put it where you don't have to move it around too much, and you'll be set.

Nice bike, it’s super quiet and assembly wasn’t bad at all. I’m 5’9” and weigh 245 and it feels really sturdy. I’m happy with this purchase.

Edit 5/27/23: I've had it for about a month now, I ride roughly 30 mins/7ish miles 3-4 days a week. Still whisper quiet, motion has either gotten better or I've gotten used to it, a good beginner bike cuz as the giant wall of words below says, the resistance here is not going to be for intermediate/advanced bikers. One thing to note if you aren't thinking about it, although this folds and can be stored, there are no wheels, so, you're either going to have to pick it up or drag it. Original day 1 review starts here: TL;DR: Good bike for the price, can't speak on durability, whisper quiet, meh seat, I'd recommend it based on ease of assembly/first ride on the bike. I know what you're thinking, "Day one? I'm here to see if it'll last", and I totally get that, I'm just not able to give you that kind of a review yet. I will however update when I've had it for longer and have logged some more time with it, promise. Even if the $135 I spent on it wouldn't hurt my feelings too much if it broke within a year, I'd still be annoyed enough that it broke within a year that I'd have to tell someone other than my wife. So, day one reactions to this machine. The box is labeled "heavy" and "team lift" but...take that for what you will since the box says Net Wt 31.68 lbs/Gr Wt 36.96 lbs, just, trying to be informative. The instructions also say you should use "two or more people (to) assemble this machine to avoid possible injury", again, take that for what you will. I assembled this machine by myself in roughly 40 minutes, with the most time spent unpacking it and threading the left pedal since it was being a punk (there's always one piece when you're assembling something). Assembly, even if you have little to no experience in assembling things, is really about as easy as it gets since the machine only has: the body, front stabilizer, rear stabilizer, seat post, seat, pedals, strap for pedals, and handlebars/display. Attach the stabilizers (feet) to the body, seat post where it looks like the seat goes, seat on the post, handlebars where they look like they should go, and pedals where they look like they should go, easy breezy. Now, I wouldn't be posting a review if assembling it was all I did, that would be silly. Instead, I just took it for a 21 minute ride while watching an episode of "Darkwing Duck" so I could test it out. Now, this is the part of the review where I tell you a little bit about myself. I am 5'-11" (short legs) and weigh 225 lbs, I have a basement gym where I have a 6 day workout schedule which incorporates lifting, elliptical (more expensive than this bike), walking/jogging, and (kick)boxing. This is NOT my primary and/or only method of exercise, I bought this to supplement everything else since I am a remote worker and if I had a pedometer, my steps per day would be like...50. I also live in a state (NE) which has all four seasons so going outside for an afternoon walk all the time can be, annoying, like when it's 20 with 25mph winds or when it's 90 with 25 mph winds. I wanted something I could use to get some relaxed cardio in while watching TV and the wife also wanted it so, to the cart it went. Now, for the performance part. I took it on a 21 minute ride and tested all of the resistance levels with 8 being the highest but....an 8 on this bike is more like a, 3 or 4 on a pricier bike, while a 1 is like riding downhill. I chose to chill at level 5 for a bit and then finish at level 4 for the last 8 or so minutes, a very relaxed resistance level for me since I'm a bit tired from my earlier exercising. The movement felt a bit jerky at first but it loosened up as the ride went on, and the bike is whisper quiet, it didn't make any noise...at all. I tested going fast (for me, got to 20+ on its Speed rating) and the bike still didn't make any noise, so, that's pretty sweet. Note to the reader here: our house is half tile/half carpet and I had the bike on the stone tile, not good old slippery linoleum tile (more prevalent in TX and other Southern states...so if you plan to put this on linoleum tile then take my review for what you will). This bike also has no power cord and the display is powered by two AAA batteries (included). The display can tell you Speed, Distance, Time, and "Calories" (in quotes cuz, c'mon, that thing's not accurate, this machine doesn't know anything about you/your body composition so take this number with a truckload of salt). There is also a display setting called ODO which is your Odometer, which means it should track all of your workout miles logged until it gets to 9999, then it resets (based on the instructions). If you are first starting your fitness journey then I suppose this is a good way to set milestones for yourself and if you are first starting your fitness journey with this bike, I wish you the best of luck on your journey. The other option on the display is Scan, in which it will just go through all of the settings, just for fun. You can also choose to use the bike without the batteries since the resistance settings are manual, no problem. Now, did this product with its 6,755 ratings really need my review? Absolutely not, but, just in case you're sorting reviews by "Newest" then, hello. I do that too so, yeah, don't worry, I got you. Random note: the instructions and several reviewers say the nuts/bolts are already supposed to be in the machine but, yeah, mine were not, they were separate except the screws used to attach the seat. SPEAKING OF THE SEAT...this is where the 5 star became a 4. This seat, remember I was only on it for 21 minutes, is..........exactly what you'd expect from a budget bike. I can't criticize it TOO much (it's a budget priced bike) but I will more than likely be spending a little bit extra to get a seat cushion which would raise it up to about a $160 bike, so, food for thought.

I’ve been contemplating buying the expensive spin bike, you know the one. But I’m a beginner and have literally never taken a spin class in my life. I also am not about to pay $40/month for classes with said bike. So I figured I should just get a basic exercise bike that does what I need: cardio & resistance. I was so excited that I did my first ride immediately. PROS -SUPER EASY to assemble! It recommends 2 or more people for assembly but I did it by myself in 30 minutes with my 3 year old “helping” me (getting in the way and temporarily losing a few pieces lol) - As you can see, I have it on carpet; it made ZERO noise -sturdy -great resistance variance - the seat is fairly wide and comfortable enough. I ordered a seat cushion that’s arriving tomorrow but I’m fine without it for the short 20-30min rides that I do - great price - speedy delivery. I ordered it on Sunday night and it was supposed to come the following Sunday....it came in less than 48 hours (and I don’t have Prime) CONS (kind of?) - the pedal straps were difficult to get on so I gave up but they’re 100% not necessary - I’m 5’7” and I had it on the second highest seat setting, which was perfect for me. I’m not sure that it would be a good option for anyone taller than maybe 5’9” or with long legs. I obviously can’t speak for the shorter height; but I will say that I put it in the lowest setting just for gigs bc my daughter wanted to sit on it. She’s 3’3” and was about a foot away from touching the pedals haha. So I’m sure it’s fine for those 4’11” as advertised -doesn’t come with a water bottle holder or a shelf for phone/tablet like more expensive bikes do. I casted a YouTube video from my phone to the TV and followed along; that’s all I really need anyway I literally have no other complaints!! If you’re thinking about it, GET IT!

I purchased this Marcy Foldable Upright Exercise Bike about 5 weeks ago. This Prime item arrived in two days. If you have any experience with wrenches or allen keys (provided), the assembly was pretty easy maybe 20 minutes (with a few looks at the directions diagram). There's four screws for the handlebars, three for the seat, and four total for the legs. So first off, I'm 5ft 6in and I need to use the lowest seat post setting (I added a gel seat-cover which raises the seat a little bit). I am well below the 250lb max weight, so I can't comment on that. Even with the additional gel seat cover, my rear was sore for about the first week, but all is well now. This is my first exercise bike, and I am very happy with it so far. This no-frills bike does not come with any of the bells and whistles, but it fits my needs perfectly. I've used it daily for 60min minimum (in 20 or 30-minute blocks) for the last 5 weeks. It has 8 levels of resistance. I started on level 2 (very easy) for a day or two, then moved up to 3 for maybe a week, then level 4 for about a week. I have used level 5 exclusively for the past couple weeks and am very content at that level. It is very quiet and smooth to operate. I use it while watching my regular TV shows!! The display takes 2 AAA batteries (not included) and shows miles per hour, calories burned, miles this session and total miles used. I'm not sure how accurate these different functions are, I usually rely mostly on the timer. I use the optional pedal straps which are adjustable. I leave it in the usable position and have rarely folded it up. It's easy to fold, just pull the pin. Again, this in the no-frills model, the time and distance cannot be programmed, the display is not lighted, the handle bars are not adjustable, and the resistance control is a manual knob that you turn by hand. All that being said, for the price, this bike is the perfect entry level stationary bike. Before I made the purchase, I read many of the reviews posted here, and those reviews were overwhelmingly positive, which helped me decide to make the buy. If you're anything like me, you will be very happy with this exercise bike.

Only Con: I wish this bike had wheels to maneuver it around. Easy for me to move, but a little difficult for the GF. The quality and craftsmanship of the bike is excellent. The only two questions you need to ask yourself is will level 8 provide enough resistance and will the height of the bike work for you. I am ~6'2 (just under) and I use the bike perfectly fine on the highest seat placement without shoes. My legs have a slight bend in the knee for the fully extended position. I consider it very comfortable and it works well. My GF is 5'4 with slightly shorter legs than average person her height. She has to put the seat in the lowest position and wear shoes or else she cannot comfortably reach pedal. If you are over 6'3 or under 5'3 you might find this uncomfortable depending on the length of your legs. For the resistance: Most men who are in average shape with average leg strength will be able to use this bike no problem. The vast majority of women will be able to use this bike no problem. For professional athletes or those in the sub-pro level you will need to look elsewhere. If biking is your forte and main athletic activity you should not purchase this bike. I would recommend a more serious indoor bike that can fully meet your needs. I am a runner and use this bike to cross train on non-running days. I'm 175 lbs (6'1") and above average athletic shape. When I use this bike, levels 1-5 are mostly for warming up. I wear a chest strap and aim to have my HR at 140-150bpm for the session. In order to achieve this I have to spin 16 mph (according to bike) and be on level 6. You should not use this bike to strength train despite what product page might say. Especially if you are in any sort of reasonable shape. This should be seen as a cardio machine. Go do squats for muscle building. For what this bike was designed for it performs very well and I would purchase again. If you want a bike to cross train or do cardio that gets HR into mainly zone 3 but possibly zone 4 then this is for you. If you are going to try to do some online spin classes you will probably find this bike underwhelming. I'd like to see 3-4 more gears for it to be a solid hardcore spin bike.

This is an adequate bike for short money. Easy to assemble and store. Seat is uncomfortable and the peddling resistance doesn't feel very smooth. Despite what other reviews say, this bike IS NOT large enough for taller people. I'm 5'11" and while it's physically possible for me to ride, I am not able to extend my legs the proper amount. If you're a shorter person who wants a cheap, serviceable, and easy to store bike, this may be for you. Otherwise just bite the bullet and buy something better.

Wonderful bike for the price I paid (around $130 at the time). Just because these folding bikes look like folding ironing boards doesn't mean they aren't mechanically sound for what they do--it's a great design that I wish I had decades ago--lightweight and takes up little space. My bike snob friends scoff at me, but I don't care! Chances are their heavy, over-priced stationary bikes are sitting in their basement unused, when this folding bike can be moved around (in front of the TV or in the kitchen) whenever I want. It's no good to have an exercise bike if you never use it! However, I've only had it a short while and can't vouch for how long the parts will last--that is still to be determined. It seems well built, but not heavy-duty like a bike at the gym, so I wouldn't stand on the pedals, which would probably put too much force on the mechanism and might upset the center of gravity. The seat post flexes slightly in use at my weight (165 lbs), but seems sound. It is extremely quiet and doesn't even vibrate the floor when using it. There is no pulse monitor nor recumbent seat, but I have good balance and can kind of sit upright to relax the neck if I don't want to lean on the handlebars. I ordered the NS-652 model since I am 5' 10" male with medium-length legs, and it extends high enough for full leg extension, with room to spare, so I would expect that it would provide full leg extension for someone 5' 11", too. Some people don't prefer or want that much extension, so it might also work for someone 6' or taller if they like their legs a little bent. Knees might get close to the handlebars for taller people, but my knees have a lot of space. For much shorter people, Marcy has a smaller NS-654 model that might be more suitable. I was worried about some of the reviews mentioning that the seat is hard, but it's just dense foam like what you might have a gym, not hard like a board, with a seam around the back that is comfortable enough for me, but stationary gel/foam bike seat covers are available and not too expensive if that is a concern, which also has the nice benefit of increasing seat height another inch or so, too. Just make sure you get one big enough to fit the dimensions of the seat. I am a masters runner (do occasional races) and have a fitness bike for outdoor cross-training, but I'm using this stationary bike for indoor recovery of a sprained ankle, and the resistance level 8 does seem to provide about the same resistance level that I use on stationary bikes at the gym for a casual cardio workout, but I'm not a cyclist nor triathlete. Levels 1-8 do provide noticeably different resistance which is nice, since I can dial it down until my ankle heals. Sometimes I may just want to increase circulation, not necessarily get a cardio workout, and I can just hop on and off, doing 5-minute sessions throughout the day. The frame is well built, well-painted, well-packed with good instructions, comes with wrenches, and was easy to assemble (about an hour). I had to be careful threading in the 4 bolts that mount the handlebar assembly to make sure they weren't cross-threaded and stripped, but I took my time to hand-screw them in first to get them started and they were fine. And I had to take some time to make sure I got the correct orientation on the pedal safety straps by looking at various pictures before attaching. The photos don't do it justice. The one I received looks better in person than in the photo since it has a slightly darker shade of white and the seat is black only (no light patch on the back). The front part of the frame with dual bars is also thinner and looks better in person, something hard to tell in the side-view photos. It has a neat little flywheel that you can see spinning through the translucent housing. The LCD panel is spartan but seems to work well and changes between a scanning mode where it rotates through the speed, time, distance, calories, odometer, or you can press the button to stay on just one of them. It will automatically turn on and off when you pedal and stop pedaling, but you need to supply it with two AAA batteries which are not included. It also stands upright on its own when folded, a nice feature, and you can just fold it and stand it in a corner--no need to lean it against a wall, and it looks nice. It doesn't have wheels but is light enough for me to just lift and carry to where I want to put it, but it might be a little heavy for an old or frail person to lift, and I do have to lift my leg over knee height to get on on the seat, something to keep in mind if it's for someone lacking mobility. Folding and unfolding it is quick as long as I look to see when the holes line up for the safety pin as I fold the frame.

Great value for indoor fitness. Easy to assemble and to store due to it folding up.

I have been perfectly satisfied and happy with this stationery bike. I didn't want something huge and space consuming or expensive or full of gadgets, just quiet and efficient. I use it to strengthen my thighs and lubricate my knees and it is just fine for that. I am 5'5" and the pedals are a perfect height for me with the seat in the lowest position. I am not sure this would work for someone 2 or 3 inches shorter. The bike is sturdier than it looks, quiet, and you just get on it and go. It does not tip over or feel like it will. I am using it without tension or with only the first notch of tension so I can't answer to anything else. I find I have to swing my leg over the seat to get on rather than lift my leg to get on in the middle at the cross but that is because of an injury to my psoas muscle, others might not have this problem. It was really easy to put together with my husbands help...I think it could be done alone as well. The parts and the directions were excellently marked and easy to follow. Impressive, probably the best I have ever seen. I haven't folded it up for storage yet and this is the feature I bought it for! It just doesn't take that much room. The display of time, mileage, speed and calories just takes care of itself. You don't have to turn it on or off, it has an automatic off when not in use for 5 minutes. The handles will not hold an iPad if that is important to you. I don't know if this is the kind of bike someone wants who is really into high speed and strength training and biking for an hour or more...but for me it is great. Exactly what I wanted.

Es una buena bicicleta, me gustó lo practico que fue armarla, me gusta que no hace ruido hasta el momento, llevo 12 días usándola sin ningún problema, si mides 1.60 está bastante bien, ya que en el nivel más bajo del asiento la pude acomodar bien, pero no sé lo recomendaría a alguien que midiera menos de eso ya que no va a alcanzar, cuenta con 8 niveles y está bastante bien si quieres ejercitarte un poco desde casa, otra cosa bastante buena es que es compacta, lo que hace que no ocupe tanto espacio!

This is an excellent exercise bike for anyone seeking a general fitness program or rehab which is the case with me. I have been using an exercise bike at physiotherapy for almost 2 months now and find it great gentle exercise for my knees and great for conditioning supporting muscles. It was suggested that I have one for a home exercise program. Because I live in an apartment, I have limited space. This bike is compact and fits my space perfectly. It is perfectly sturdy, amazingly quiet and the good instructions provided, made its assembly quite easy with assistance. The bike was delivered ahead of its scheduled date. Urban Inspirations asked that any problems be reported if any rating was to be below 5 stars...I reported the fact that the seat is too high for me and although I knew it was a long shot, asked if it was possible to get a shorter seat post. My email was quickly and politely answered and the problem referred to the manufacturer who, as I suspected said that no other post could be provided. Urban Inspirations offered to give me a 15 % discount or accept a return provided that it could be returned in its original packaging....This is where I ran into trouble. Although the bike is "lightweight", it is too heavy for me to lift (I have a disability) and even with assistance, the packaging had to be significantly damaged in order to get it out. Returning it was impossible in that box. Another issue was that I had to pay $65 for delivery and would have had to pay another $65 to return it, none of which was refundable. Long story, short...I have kept the bike and have had lifts put on the pedals and use a small stool to get on it. With these modifications, I am now using it. I believe that if you are handy with tools (or know someone who is), you could probably also cut down the seat post yourself and drill two more holes to accommodate the pin that supports it. (I already have it set at the lowest of 3 levels) If you are under 5 feet, 2 inches, and have no one to help you adjust the bike or have significant physical issues, I would reconsider purchasing this bike, otherwise, it is a good little bike for general use.

Es practica. Sin embargo para una persona de 1.79 queda algo chica, no hay espacio para que las piernas se estiren lo suficiente. Por otro lado, el diseño no permite que uno se ponga de pie porque los pedales quedan justo debajo del manubrio. No está promocionada así pero el brazo que lleva el manubrio permite apoyar una botella de agua sin problemas. La estuve usando diario por poco más de 5 años hasta que se desgastó la banda interior y no hay forma de cambiarla. Yo la compré por poco más de 2000 pesos hace unos años. Considero que arriba de 3 mil pesos es demasiado para esta bicicleta.
