Among all the other cardio machines, i prefer an exercise bike because it is injury free as well as very effective to maintain a healthy heart.

What an amazing indoor bike. Bought last summer to continue my daily exercise and found it very profitable. Have stylish look, comfortable seat and suitable resistance level. It makes me feel like running a ordinary outdoor bike and train myself in every weather conditions.

Are longer foot straps available for the pedals on a Marcy ME-709 exercise bike? I have high arches/instep and the straps are not long enough. I keep slipping out of the pedals.

I have the Magnetic-resistance bike ME-709 give to me as a gift. I started using at the lowest resistance possible because I haven’t exercised and have a bad knee. I am over 60 and want to use the this equipment optimal with causing myself undo discomfort. I already pulled a muscle in my thigh and had to ease off of using it . If you could possilbly give me some tips and or advice about the bike. Do I have the right equipment for low impact exercise. I would like your input as soon as possible

We purchased a bike, an AIR-1, on 3 April 2020. After inserting the batteries, we attempted to test the functions like Time, Calories, etc. Our problem is we cannot figure out how to determine the speed we are going, the “calories” used or time. We could set “target” times or calories, but nothing indicated how fast we were going or RPMs or calories burned. We could really use some help. I know no one would engineer a bike that didn’t tell us those stats, so what’s up? Are we not communicating with the actual bike part of the device?

We just set up our new cycle. Have a question – the tension is too tight even on low. It does not change when we increase the tension. As it is, it makes my knees hurt. What can we do to adjust it?

Hello: I ordered one of your bikes from Amazon last year. It had problems and you agreed to send me a new “engine” part, the heavy part of the bike. But it took so long to arrive that I returned the bike to Amazon. I still have your large piece in a UPS shipping box. How should I go about returning it to you ? Thanks.

We recently purchased a Marcy ME-709 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike and the computer doesn’t seem to be scanning. It will go through the different modes, but only shows 0’s, even though it’s been used for 5 minutes. I’ve checked to make sure the computer wires have been attached at the bottom and the top. We get an LED display with large green numbers, but nothing seems to be happening. Is there a start up procedure for the computer that I’ve missed? Please advise if you have any self help videos or instructions I might have missed. Thank You For Your… Read more »

Mid-assembly Diamondback 910sr. Bottom of seat offered 2 attachment positions. I chose the aftmost which pushes the seat forward and perhaps creates a difficult bend in the seat release cable. Seat will not move. Should I reposition seat making the bend in the cable more gentle? Should I loosen the 2 large and 4 smaller nuts holding the plastic inserts in the inclined groove?

I need blocks for my exercise bike. I am short and the seat is as low as it goes. It is still very uncomfortable for me to use my bike because I can barely reach the pedals. If I can buy blocks from you it will solve the problem. Any I find on line do not fit the pedals because of the strap
