I liked that it was very easy to assemble and sturdy enough that it stays in place on the carpet. It is easy to vary the speed to provide a great workout.

Easy to use. More expensive ones are much heavier and probably do not move when trying to use them as this one does. I wedge something to keep it from moving. But the lightness of the unit has an advantage since you can easily pick it up and move it around AND put it on a table to use for your arms in the same manner you would with your feet.

The product was fairly easy to assemble and is extremely quiet. The pedaling motion is very smooth and it doesn’t move much once you really tighten the rear fixed bottom plate and front stabilizer. This resistance, however, is extremely weak. I have it at the highest setting (8) and it is barely difficult to move. The first five settings don’t seem to make any difference at all. This is a nice exercise machine for those who want just the slightest bit of resistance but anyone expecting any sort of workout or elevated heart rate should avoid this product.

Keyword points:
Quiet, sturdy, easy to use, fairly easy to put together, smooth, good tension differences
Why I got this:
Since the outbreak of COVID, I’ve been primarily working from home. I am at my computer desk for about 12 hours a day, 7 days a week (work and video games). My step count is laughable.
In June of this year, I had a heart attack (MI) due to blood clots from a kidney stone. It scared me.
I had always thought these under-desk exercise machines weren’t really all that much “exercise” as they seemed too low-impact. After the heart attack, I reevaluated my stance and realized that while they may not help me shed any weight or gain any lean mass, they will help my leg circulation. Due to the MI, I wanted to work on my overall health and this seems to be a great means of doing so while I’m at my desk.
Ease of assembly:
Pretty easy. It’s not like ‘take out of the box and use’ easy, but there are only a few parts to put together and the instructions are very VERY clear. It took me about 20 minutes total from unboxing to using. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for “Easy to assemble” only because if you’re planning on using this for PT with your arms, it may be a bit of a challenge to get all the bolts tightened enough
Ease of use:
SUPER easy. The only issue I had after putting it together was that I could not change the settings and it wouldn’t calculate my rotation/distance. I had taken out the plastic strap and the display was on, but there was no functionality to the display as far as options or seeing use. I followed the directions to replace the battery (this is probably the most difficult part of the entire machine) and now it works perfectly. I’m assuming the battery that came with it may have been old/not so full of juice, but whatever the case, they do send a second battery and it works fine.
Turning the tension knob is easy and the pedals move exactly as expected.
The machine doesn’t slide on my carpet when in use unless I’m meaning to slide it. It has good enough traction that I don’t worry about it moving while I’m using it.
Other notes:
This is very quiet. The nosiest part of it was that I could hear my pants leg rustle against my chair.
Comfortable. I was worried that the angle I’d need to put my legs to use this would be awkward while sitting in my desk chair. This is not the case. I used to have a footrest under my desk, and this has replaced it entirely because it is very comfy and the height is perfect.
It doesn’t take up a ton of space, it’s barely bigger than my footrest, not too high, and not too wide.
The packaging was easy to open and the machine easy to take out. Each part was clearly marked. Even the pedals had little removable tags on them to remind you exactly how to attach them!
The instructions were perfectly clear, not once did I have to guess what they meant by something or try to figure something out myself. Each step was outlined, there were diagrams, and all needed tools came with the product.
Would I buy it again?:
Yes, I would. I did get the warranty on it to be on the safe side (10% of the purchase price, so just under $10), but so far, this thing seems to be exactly what I had hoped it would be.
I have not had this for too long, and if my stance on this product changes, I will update this review.

This was recommended by my physical therapist after knee surgery. It has really helped with bending my knee!

I went from floor nursing, walking miles a day, to a telephonic phone nursing position where I’m sitting in a chair for essentially 8 hours a day. My legs would hurt from dangling all day in the chair. I needed something to help keep me moving, since I’m so used to waking. This was definitely my answer!
I was a little hesitant at first based on the reviews about the pedals stripping and essentially becoming useless after a couple months of use. And I’ve only had this for 5 days so far. So I’m hopeful that the pedals hold up. If not, I’ll change my review.
The display starts up when you start pedaling and shuts off after 4-5 minutes of no activity. No need to take the battery out. The pics above show what I did on my first day using it sporadically over 8 hours. It has a distance counter which is nice. The calorie counter seems to count a little less than my Apple Watch, but it is still a great counter for those that don’t have a smart watch. It said I burned 688 calories, while my watch said 753. The counter seems to be based on average, while my watch uses my heart rate. Yesterday I did 32 miles and burned over 800 cals.
I do wish that this had a higher tension setting. I would say I’m in good shape, and I’m on the highest tension of 8. But I also know that this isn’t meant to replace a strenuous cardio workout. My heart rate ranges from 100-110’s but if I’m consistently pedaling for 30 mins or more, it will get up to 130’s and you can feel the sweat. Also, I can definitely feel the inner thigh burn.
Setup was fairly easy. 10-15 mins max. You really only have to assemble the end plate, front stabilizer, and pedals. I do think the pedals were the hardest part. You screw them in, which was easy enough. But putting the bolts on the back was challenging. Sounds easy until you go to do it. They give you very detailed instructions and even warn that if you don’t put the pedals on correctly, it can harm the product. It seems I put them on right, so I hope it holds up with how much I use it.
It does have a carrying handle and would be easy to move around the house. If you are thinking about lugging this back and forth to work, I would probably just get one for each location.
It does create a little bit of sound, but mostly a hum. I use mine in between patient calls so I can’t tell you for sure if this hum would be audible on a phone call. I work from home, but I do think it’s quiet enough to not disrupt your office mates.
I heard a click today and was worried it was the product but nope! It was my knee. So I’m taking a break. It is addicting and I can see how easy it would be to overwork yourself on this. You can apparently use for your arms, but I haven’t done that just yet.
I was considering the deskcycle, but wasn’t sure how committed I would be to using a pedaler so I went with this option since it’s cheaper at $120 vs $190. So far I’m very happy with this option.
As I said, I’ve only had 5 days so I will update if it starts making noise, pedals start stripping, or what have you. This product seems to be used a lot by the elderly or people who have had joint replacements and I can see it being great for that use as well. Very multifunctional for people of all different activity levels.

Lo mas parecido a una bicicleta estática, pero mas cómodo. El pedaleo es suave y continuo apliques la resistencia que apliques. Perfecto para los días de lluvia en los que no apetece salir a ejercitarse al exterior.

I like that it is under 20 pounds, so very easy to move. It is made of metal so very stable and won’t slide or move when used. Very well constructed and truly quiet. In other words “perfect”.

I originally bought the elliptical bike for my husband but he did not like it, so I bought this bike. It is great and he exercises every day with it. It is easy to move but sturdy to use. It has many levels of tension so it can be easy or hard for your exercise routine. The pedals are small and when he uses it his shoes hit the floor. He exercises in his socks and it works great. He has a size 12 for his shoes so keep that in mind. He loves this bicycle and I kept the elliptical bike so we can exercise together. We are in our 70’s, and this this easier to use and move. If company comes over you can move it out of sight. We love both machines.

Compre este aparatito porque en ocasiones salgo muy tarde del trabajo y no siempre tengo tiempo para alcanzar a hacer ejercicio. Compre esta maravilla y ya me mantengo más activa. Obviamente hay que considerar varias cosas:
1. Es ligero (considerando que es un aparato y lo puedes subir y bajar o mover de lugar etc. No esperes el peso ligero de una hoja o libreta porque no lo es, pero yo fácilmente lo puedo llevar a de un lado para otro, cargar a mi hijo es mucho más pesado. Una persona con problemas de artritis reumatoide no podrá cargarlo o batallara para hacerlo).
2. Tiene un tamaño que facilmente cabe abajo de un escritorio o mesa, pero si lo quieres usar debajo de una mesa que tiene otras repisas abajo pues imposible, ahi vienen las medidas en la descripcion para que consdieres esto antes de comprarlo (lo menciono porque hay gente que se queja por esto y pues no se que pensaban que compraban o si era tamaño miniatura). Cabe perfecto bajo un escritorio convencional.
3. Si lo pones directo al piso, con el movimiento y “fuerza” del movimiento, pues se va a mover el aparato, hay que ponerlo sobre un tapete o uno de tipo foamy, o que tope en pared o algun mueble.
4. Silencioso: puedo escuchar la tele sin problema, estar en juntas, en una llamada, etc. Si la casa estuviera en silencio sepulcral pues si se alcanza a escuchar algo muy de fondo y muy bajito.
Ya tengo 4 meses con el y funciona perfecto, como el primer día. Lo recomiendo totalmente y esta marca ha resultado ser buenísima, ya tenemos 3 productos de esta marca!
