I want to store this bike on my balcony when not in use. Would this hold up in outdoor elements like a regular bike?

The Marcy Recombent Bike has a digital control panel that monitors and tracks your speed, mileage, calories burned, etc. It would not be a good idea to leave this piece of equipment out in the weather.

If you don't live on the coast near salt water you would probably be ok, just keep a eye on it, if you start to see any signs of rust, keep it in.

I keep mine inside however, being that it is painted and not exposed metal I would think that it would be fine outside. The only issue I foresee is maybe the rubber drying out over time but you could always tape it up if that happens. I wouldn't worry about keeping it outside.

I would not keep it outdoors because of the concern for rust. It seems to be made for an indoor set up. If you have to put it outside in the open, put a big tarp over it, that may help a little.

It is sturdy enough to hold plants, but I think it would deteriorate outside unless it is in a covered space.

I don't use it in a bike rack. It does wrap around the front and rear tires. I think it might be difficult to put the cover on the front tire and roll into the rack. Or if you are referring to a vehicle mounted rack... I doubt it would stand up to much of a wind. I simply put the cover on a lift it into the corner of the patio. It looks very nice and tidy.

If you are not using the pit regularly, I would always move it out of the weather....it will stand up for a while, but nothing lasts forever. If you purchased the cover, that will certainly help keep the top in good shape...the key is to watch the legs...if they get any kind of rust, wire brush them and put a good paint like Rustoleum on them and they should last for years...even with the rain.

Certainly, it is built to withstand the elements. We leave it up outside if it will be used consecutive days, otherwise it easily folds flat to store along the garage wall.

We have ours on cement for bike storage. I would think so if put on grass and auger's used to secure.

I have mine outside and it works in a protected area. However, if you want it to be strudy like the bike rakes you see at schools, it doesn't even come near. It could be bolted down but since it's in section it still could be uprooted.

Mine is located inside my house. Just looking at how it's built it doesn't look like it could survive long outside. I suppose it would work fine, but eventually the humidity, sun, and other elements would wear it down.

HelloIt would be best to store the bike and cover indoors, or at least not in direct sunlight. The bag may start to degrade over time if exposed to sun constantly. Also, if there is a period of heavy rain and water is able to penetrate through the closure into the bag, it may be too much for the anti-corrosion material to mitigate.Thank youTechnologyLK Customer Service

Only if it is in an enclosed area, I don't think it will stand up to exposure to weather, the shelves are a light weight wood and while the metal frame is nice, it probably would not do well if exposed to the outdoors.

I would not use it for anything but maintenance. It probably would physically hold the bike but it could get knocked over if it is at its highest position. Not sure how high it goes.

It's lightweight so I would anchor it and put a coat of rustoleum paint or something to weather proof it a bit more. Keep mine in the garage so weather isn't an issue. Going on 4 yrs of use and it's in the same shape as the day I set it up.

We've had it outside since we bought it and its held up well. Although I can't say that means much. Its been on our apartment balcony where its shielded from direct sunlight and rain.

Mine is outside all weather in Pennsylvania all year. I don't store my bike because I don't stop riding it when it gets cold. The water resistance lasts about a year. After that it's a dust cover. For the price you can afford to buy a new one each year.
