Nice little machine!
I broke a metatarsal in my foot and had to have surgery. I wanted to be able to do some form of exercise, so I purchased this little pedaler device to use for an upper body workout. It works really well! The handlesâwhich also function as pedalsâare a nice size for the hands (not too wide). The magnetic resistance is very smooth. The tension adjusts between 1 and 8. This is good if you are paddling with your arms, but it probably wouldnât be enough resistance for some people when peddling with your feet. The machine is very stable on the counter. It does slide ever so slightly as you pedal, but it is easy to slide it back in place. Definitely worth ~$130 in my opinion. After my foot heals, maybe I will use it to pedal with my feet while watching TV.

Solid and effective
Doesn’t slip across uncarpeted floor. Solidly built. Magnetic resistance. Digital Stat readout. For sunshine who can no longer sit a bike, this gives me a pretty darned good cardio workout, especially when moved to my desk to use as a hand cycle. Well worth the money. Would easily purchase again (but so well put together I probably won’t have to).

Nice bike but pedals are way too small
Smooth and quiet. It’s heavy enough that it doesn’t move itself around too easily but it’s not too heavy to lift it. Assembly is not too bad as long as you pay attention to the fact the left pedal has left handed threads. So you turn counter-clockwise to tighten it.The pedals are too small and the straps are not long enough to fit if you wear sneakers. I ended up replacing the pedals with larger pedals. Make sure the axle is 1/2 inch thread. See picture.

Non damaging way to get some cardio
I’m fat and I know it, but I want to start exercising. But the problems are multifold – I don’t have enough money to join a gym and the nearest YMCA is a 30 minute drive, so that’s out of the question, and doing walks/runs are all well and good until tree and grass pollen are in play and I become an asthmatic weasy mess. So I was trying to figure out what I could do to get exercise that wouldn’t kill my knees and learned about recumbent biking.Next problem: Recumbent bikes are SUPER EXPENSIVE.I did more research – and learned about these guys. And after much more research, I found this guy – both high quality, but not expensive enough as to make me eat stale bread and ramen for the next two weeks. I bought it. I’m bad at putting things together, and getting the pedals on did give me quite a bit of trouble so I had to get my roommate to take over there. He got it together in no time, so it’s definitely a user error on my part.But now I’ve taken to doing this for at least 30 minutes each night while watching shows or playing on my computer. It’s been wonderful! I’ve already noticed that I’m less out of breath climbing up and down stairs than before, and when I increase the torque, I can FEEL my legs burning, which is great.The only downside is that the strap on the pedals keeps coming loose, and I’m not totally sure how to deal with that, but that’s not end of the world for me.

This is easy to use and you can use it for arms or legs.
I should use this exercise equipment more than I do. I have sometimes gotten it to be a daily habit, but other times it is little more than a footrest or tripping hazard. I usually keep it right in front of the couch. I found that it was easier for my 4’2″ sister to pedal with the bike turned the wrong g way with the bigger end right up against the couch. She usually isn’t interested in exercising, but she seemed to enjoy it at least once. I am about 5′ tall. I usually put pillows behind me if I want to pedal while sitting on the couch. If I don’t have pillows behind me I tend to lean back in a way that is probably not great fir my back I stead of sitting up straight.Sometimes I just pedal a little off and on while watching TV. It is pretty easy if I have the bike right there to remind d me. I should be getting more exercise in general. This is an easy way to at least get some, even if I can’t leave the house or don’t have much free time. I can exercise while hanging out with my sister even if her wheel chair is not available to take her for a walk. When she was littler I used to take her for walks more, but she doesn’t tolerate as much walking as she did years ago, and still can’t be left home alone.I like this model because I can use it for either my hamds and arms or my feet and legs. I had been having problems with.my shoulder when I got it. After an experience with Covid I had more sciatica and eventually found out I had spinal stenosis in my lumbar and cervical parts of my spine. This is a reasonably gentle form of exercise that probably helps both those parts, or at least doesn’t hurt as much as some things.My dad was not a big fan of this model because he doesn’t feel like the resistance levels are different enough. He tends to crank up the resistance, sometimes as high as he can. I prefer it on a lower resistance level so I can keep going longer. It is nice that it is easy to adjust the resistance.My brother said he had tried some less expensive similar bikes. He found that they moved around too much on his smooth wood floor. This one is heavy enough to stay put when you want it to, and the rubbery feet help avoid sliding or floor damage. I can also pick it up by the handle and move it if it is in the way or I want to use it in a different place. I took it to my brother’s house when he and his wife were out of town and we stayed with thir kids. I think kids are not supposed to use this, but we let them try it with supervision. The ones who were not as tall as my sister found creative ways to make it work for them. They seemed to like it a lot.I think.it really works best if I sit on a stable firm stationary chair that is the right height for me to reach to.pedals easily. It is possible to adjust for leg length a bit by moving the bike closer or farther from the chair. If the chair is too high, it won’t work. But it can work with a chair that is lower than you normally sit on.I have tried using this one for my arms when it is on a table. I even put another one under the table so I could exercise my kegs at the same time. I don’t do that often though. I am usually too lazy to clear a space and pick the thing up to put it on the table. I would also want to clean it because I don’t think my feet and the floor are as clean as the table and my hands. It is nice to have the option though.

Awesome buy it
This thing is awesome. It is a little heavy to pick up however, you can use it under your desk at work. Sitting in your chair, watching a movie. It really helps for circulation. It’s very easy to use.Slow and steady or fast and ready. Also, if you’re doing a long trip in a vehicle, it’s really great to keep your legs from hurting It fits perfect in the floorboard.

Me gustó porque funciona a la perfección para que tus músculos no pierdan fuerza. Lo recomiendo mucho si tuviste algún accidente, o si eres una persona de la tercera edad, funciona bien para no perder la masa muscular.

Bought this under desk exercise bike for my mother’s birthday and she loves it. It’s well built, very easy to use and very portable. Money well spent.
