Folding Pedal Exerciser, Mini Under Desk Bike - Portable Foot Hand Cycle Peddler Machine Bicycle Exerciser for Arm Leg While Sitting

I had my left knee replaced in October, 2022 at age 67. I tried to use my full-sized recumbent exercise bike to maintain the flexibility at home instead of traveling 16 miles each way to therapy sessions, but the length of the bars on which the pedals are mounted was too long for me to be able to bend my knee. completely.I got this small cycling machine to be able to do those daily exercises, and it is working quite well. I probably have enough mobility be able to use the full-sized bike again; but this is so convenient where I can exercise in my bedroom while on the computer doing remote bookkeeping for a few clients. It easily folds up to be able to store out of the way when not in use. The grip pad included prevents the device from moving around.My sister's knees are degrading also, and she was going to therapy sessions twice weekly. She lives remotely in Missouri and had to travel 30 miles each way for the sessions. She was adamant that she wasn't going through knee replacement. (Trust me the replacement is very difficult to go through!)I got one of these for her. It worked well enough that she is doing therapy at home and no longer has to attend a professional therapy session. She uses it for 5 minutes, 3 times daily. Along with a yoga strap I got her at the same time, she has so far staved off knee replacement and stated that she has better mobility than before. She's 73 and still going strong.This has an adjustable tension resistance, but I recommend not using that feature. It can make noise and probably causes wear inside. The cycling motion without resistance is still very effective--especially when you're older like us and don't get adequate exercise by other means. It's effective, inexpensive, and convenient, which are all important factors when you have limited income. I don't use the included timer or the tension knob, but those features are there if you want to use them.I highly recommend getting this unit even if you don't have the same issues as my sister and me. I also recommend getting a yoga strap and following the other exercises included with that strap. It's a way to get some quality exercise without having to leave the safety of your home.

Pleasantly surprised: no need to assemble, simple to use; comes with a little mat. Got a nice workout for my knees while catching up on my emails; then my 5 min. arms workout placing it on a table stimulated my circulation. It logs time spent and calories burned but not distance. Still a great buy! Now will get rid of my stationary bike that was taking up so much space and did nothing for my arms.

This is a nice, little machine and easy to use. You definitely need the enclosed mat as the product is NOT very heavy. The pedals could be a little wider for easy of use. The adjustable straps for your feet are VERY difficult to adjust. Be careful when adjusting to your foot comfort or you may break the strap. I like that is folds down for storage. It has a small footprint and does not take up much space.

We use this machine as a hand bike. It is unstable on the table and wobbles while in use. It is crooked so that is what has caused the wobble I tried to put some cushioning under it to stop the unsteadiness but then it slides on the table.

I love this "pedal bike ." I sustained a left knee injury at work almost 4 years ago and damaged the nerves in my left knee and left foot. After rehab for my injury ,I needed a low impact exercise to help my injury and this was perfect . Cute , stores great under my chair and reasonably priced. Easy to assemble and very sturdy .I will recommend this . I also use this every other day to my exercising routine to strengthen my left knee and left foot 🙃.

I bought this product with the intention of being able to work out while sitting at my work desk or while sitting on the couch at home. It is light enough to easily carry around and move out of the way when not in use but that also means it slides while you are trying to use it. The mat that comes with it slows down the slippage issue but doesn’t totally stop it. The best bet is to shove it against a wall or weigh it down somehow without obstructing the motion. The resistance adjuster knob doesn’t really do a whole lot. I tightened it as far as I could. The knob screws in straight (level with the ground) but the handle hits the angled riser not allowing you to fully screw it in. The pedals are the worst part. Instead of securing on the crank arms at the end, they have a little slit in the middle with a jagged, pressure fit piece of plastic that holds them on. I first used it with socks on, my socks got snagged by the plastic ripping an hole in them and I scratched the bottom of my feet. If you manage to fit your shoes into the straps, that piece of plastic still rubs on the bottom of your shoes. Horrible design and safety concern. I’ll be returning it for a different product.

Works arm great if put on table but great for legs to

great cycle and love that it folds up for easy storage or getting out of the way!
