“These were terrible, you couldn't set the resistance very high at all and if you twisted the knob too much it got stuck. one pedal also fell off about 2 weeks in. I would not recommend this model to anyone.”
“Have been using the pedal exerciser for weeks at work now. It works very well though I wish it could offer a bit more resistance. it started squeaking after a few days but applying a bike lubricate resolved the problem completely. Overall it's a very nice exerciser for its price.”
“This is an excellent entry-level mini-cycle for anyone looking to turn idle time into activity. Perfect for 10 or 15 minutes in front of the TV, especially for anyone with mobility problems or who is recuperating from an operation or similar.
It's probably not suitable for anyone who is keen on extended periods of exercise and is used to exerting themselves at full throttle: this is a reasonably sturdy set-up but won't withstand being hammered by an athlete for hours on end.
Also worth noting that if you intend to use it under a desk while working then you'll have to adjust seat height or raise the desk or something - very easy to bang your knees on the underside of the desk. Really, it's not very practical for most offices - but ok at home if you can build your work-station around it. Need to remember that you will get warm and 'glow' when pedalling, so the boos might not appreciate you doing your work-out at work!
No display or info-centre for calorie counts but to be fair you wouldn't expect that kind of equipment at this price.
Definitely useful as a first purchase, to see if this kind of device fits into your routines.”
“Can feel them working, and the adjustable setting makes it easy to suit your level.
Helps to get a bit of exercise if you're sat for extended periods of time.
Only problem is the metal bars, they do hot to the touch so I wouldn't advise using this without socks.”
“Has with most exercise products,you need to use them.I get pretty fed up quickly,however they are well made and could be beneficial if used on a regular basis.I guess Im to lazy.”
“these are really good i'm not sure how long they will last but they are really practical and easy to use. they fold up so you can put them away easier. you can change the tension so the pedaling gets easier or harder.”
“Arrived promptly and although the instructions were in various languages the set up is very simple consisting of screwing on the tension knob. I have now used the cycle for a week and find it quiet and efficient. I suffer from arthritis and work in a call centre so this has greatly increased my metabolism and left me less tired at the end of the day. Would recommend to anyone who has mobility problems and needs a non impact solution.”
