Mini Exercise Bike, himaly Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser Portable Foot Cycle Arm & Leg Peddler Machine with LCD Screen Displays

I bought this device, because I'm able to match one of the exercises I had to do in PT after my total knee replacement. I've been struggling with the increasing flexion due to excessive inflammation after surgery due to another health condition, but device actually helped without hurting or causing excessive pain.This device is very sturdy, easy to put together (under 10 min.), and I'm able to emulate the PT exercises at home. Strongly recommend for anyone recovering after knee replacement, who is struggling with heal slides, increasing flexion and/or not able to get back on their exercise bike yet.

Very easy to use and it is very study, no noise and you can set the resistance where you are comfortable. the workout quality is great and you don't need to have a lot of space to use it. Easy to put together. Would purchase again if I needed to.

Great for rehab at home. I’m able to do both arms and legs. It is quiet and smooth. I gave 4 stars because if you don’t have your feet or hands positioned right it’s not as smooth. It is sturdy and easy to use. I use the strap that is included around the chair leg for cycling and not needed for arms. Nice unit for the price.

Overall I like it and it works. It is not sturdy and it slides despite the no-slip mat. I'd recommend using a heavy item to block it from slipping. its a little tippy, so it takes some finesse to balance it so it doesn't rock. It really packs a punch with cardio, the resistance settings work well, and I definitely work up a sweat at my desk with swift pedaling. It's quiet and assembly was simple and straight forward.

So when you get a product this cheap, you kind of have to expect to get what you pay for. The bike was advertised as a stationary bike that you can pedal under your desk or place on a desk to pedal with your arms to get a workout and, to be fair, it does do those things. The problem is that the bike does not make any of this easy.For one, the bike itself is incredibly light, which seems like a good thing initially until you start to pedal. Since it is so light, it is very easy for the entire bike to move around, making it harder to keep a consistent rhythm with your legs or your arms. In addition, the bike has no catch to carpet or the rubber pad provided to prevent it from moving around, so there isn't really a way to fix the problem other than pushing it against a heavy object as you pedal and hoping for the best.The LCD is also a bit inaccurate in terms of calories burned as I believe that the amount of calories burned is consistent for anyone who uses the bike. While this may seem nice, I doubt that cycling on this for about 15 minutes without breaking a sweat means I'm burning 100 calories each time. Losing weight and burning calories is hard and having a bike with an inaccurate LCD is only going to do more harm than good as you won't actually be able to keep track of how many calories you burn.To make matters worse, the bike has almost no resistance with the pedaling, which kind of defeats the purpose as an exercise bike. The idea is to have some resistance to engage your body and encourage energy use, but the lack of resistance means you would need to be pedaling for a very long time before you get to that point. If you do try to increase the tension on the bike, you either get no change or get too much resistance, which makes the bike more likely to move before the pedal itself. Worse yet is that if you can manage to move the pedal, a horrible squeak soon starts with every cycle and it will not go away until you stop and remove the tension.Finally, the reason why I give this a one-star review despite everything else listed above comes from the last time I used it, which was a 15 minute cycle with increased tension and the horrible squeak. Really trying to make this work, I pedaled on to get some resistance until I smelt burnt rubber. Removing the LCD let out a bunch of smoke from something burning in the bike, which I assume was from something melting into the cycle as it will no longer pedal now. While I'd like to assume I was shredding the bike to the point of falling apart, I had only been pedaling for 15 minutes and at a moderate pace. If that was enough to break this bike, then nothing else should convince you that this product just isn't worth it.

The media could not be loaded. I recently had hip surgery. I do many exercises at physical therapy, but I noticed that riding the recumbent bike seems to loosen my hip, warm it up, and help with discomfort. I think it just keeps the blood flowing. At present those are the benefits I'm looking for right now; I may want to do more resistance and muscle building in the future, but for the present, this little machine as described just seemed to hit the target I was looking for. It arrived today, and I was very excited. I opened it right away and assembled it. Assembly was very easy, and very good instructions are included. That was only about a 15 minute exercise. Also there are good videos on youtube that show it to you in 2 minutes flat. I would recommend searching for one of those just to be sure you aren't leaving anything out. I really dislike redoing things and I bet you do, too. All the parts were there and everything went together like a charm with stabilizers, feet, and straps being the main parts. The straps were already on the feet and happily fit just right, but they can be adjusted to be bigger or smaller.Although most reviews were very good, and this little unit today is the number one of 100 in physical therapy leg exercisers, some reviews had me a little concerned about how smooth and easy the pedaling would be. I couldn't wait to use it and see which side I would fall on. I needn't have worried. It immediately worked smoothly and pedaled easily and quietly. If you look at my video, the background noise is from the kitchen, not the device. You can hardly hear it when you're using it. It easily goes from no or very little resistance to medium resistance, and the monitor works exactly as described. The battery was already installed. I have it on carpet. It doesn't move around when I'm pedaling and it's not up against any barrier. I can sit comfortably in my chair and pedal to my heart's content. I love it!It's exactly what I wanted, and I did also want to mention that I got it from Amazon Resale (formerly Amazon Warehouse). When I started to purchase it, the offer for the unit in "Used Like New" condition popped up for half the price! I have found that items that are "Used Like New" are just that, like new, and the price was great, so that's the one I got. It arrived in perfect order in its original box, which actually appeared to have never been opened.I enjoy using this little exerciser, and I already know it's going to help me improve faster. I am thrilled with this purchase. I highly recommend this Mini Exercise Bike!
