Product Summary
At just under $300, the Marcy Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike is a great value for those who simply want to pedal, or don’t have space for a bigger exercise bike with a screen. There’s no phone holder either, so again this is for people who simply want a bike so that they can cycle indoors.
It’s also quite rare to see magnetic resistance, which produces a much quieter ride than friction resistance, on top of being more durable, in an exercise bike at this price range. Most exercise bikes under $300 have a three- to five-year lifespan, but we foresee this lasting at least seven years. Yeah, it’s that good.
We’d highly recommend it to apartment owners since it’s foldable and lightweight.
