Under Desk Exercise Bike Pedal Exerciser – Mini Stationary Cycle with Adjustable Resistance, Calorie Tracker & Foldable Design – Compact Pedal Machine for Home, Office, or Physical Therapy by Wakeman

There's not much to say, it's a cheap little bike for getting some leg exercise while sitting and doing something else. Depending on the height of your desk, it may not be possible to pedal it underneath, so make sure to do some measuring first. It can also collapse at the legs for storage purposes, which is a nice touch, but it's not too big or bulky either way. It has a little screen for tracking calories, rotations, etc. I don't know how accurate it is, but it's a nice little feature to include for the low cost of this little bike. It's pretty quiet to pedal, but I did dock one star off the sturdiness because it does wobble a bit and I noticed the rubber around one of the pedal bars is moving. Regardless, it works well for what it's intended for, and it was definitely worth the cost (~$20).

I bought this for use after my knee replacement surgery. This product slides away on smooth floors so be sure to use it on carpet or have it braced against something to keep it in place. It is portable and can be used just about anywhere. I am very happy I bought this product and will continue to use it for years. It is great for on the go, camping, office, home, parks, and if you are a passenger in a car you may very well be able to use then too (depends on floorboard space available).

3 and 1/2 Stars rounded up. Worth the price works relatively well. However, the rubber slip on the bottom does not work. Work very well and does slide even across the carpet and rug. I'm likely going to need to get a mat for when I actually exercise either for work or at home or perhaps both. But it's easy to use, a little noisy but it's easy to carry and take wherever needed. Worth the price though cuz I need to get a little bit of exercise while I'm either sitting at my desk at work or when I'm at home relaxing

I give this three stars, but almost gave it four considering function for price. But a couple of design considerations dropped it a star. Still, I am pleased enough to recommend this. At this price one should not expect either a professional unit nor anywhere near best on the market. I bought this as a cheap cardio device, and for that job it works fine. CONS The crank knob offers SOME resistance, but not much. Cranked to full (without using a pipe wrench) it creates just about perfect tension for the arms. For legs, it's hardly noticeable. Cranking it to full will prove very difficult for older ones, those lacking muscular strength, or anyone with arthritis. In such case a pipe wrench may literally be a necessity. The "pedals" are barely that; narrow as shown in photo. I didn't think about how the narrow width would feel on bare or stocking feet. One will need some kind of shoe to use this comfortably. And of course since they aren't round they don't offer a comfortable grip for the hands either. Still, they work. PROS These things aside, this is a passable exercise machine, especially in these days when funds are often scarce. It has some downsides but it works. The stability is acceptably good. I use it on a low-nap rug and there is some wobble (as would be expected) but it stays in place. On a wood or linoleum floor it does fine-- doesn't slide an inch. I decided to use the device with stocking feet even though not comfy, because there's the side-benefit of foot acupressure. People pay money for acupressure pads; these pedals do a similar job on bare or stocking feet. The gauge is not lit so I pretty much ignore it. I just use it until I'm tired then stop. Still, it's a multi-function gauge. If someone wants the data, there it is. A main positive is its easy portability. It has two large pull rings, allowing the legs to fold up easily and quickly. To open it just pull the legs out until the pins auto-snap into place. Couldn't be easier nor imo better-designed. Nice feature of this item. The build appears sturdy. Its feel and appearance promises lengthy use so long as the inner resistance mechanism holds up. That can only be determined over time. All in all, for a low-cost exercise peddler it is fine. I suspect it will do exactly what I bought it to do: give me some exercise while I'm watching TV.

This cycle isn't for everyone, but for me it has been great. I have limited mobility and use the cycle to work my arms, building strength and helping me with my range of motion. For these uses, it has been amazing, especially given the price. The build quality far exceeded my expectations. It is very solid. It's also much larger and heavier than I expected. Not huge or unwieldy, just be aware that when open it takes up a good amount of room. There is one thing that could definitely be improved: when the legs are folded for storage, the pins that lock the legs in place while in use stick out at the bottom. This could cause it to scratch/gouge the surface of wherever you are storing it (in my case a bedside rolling table). I keep a towel under it and so far it seems to be working. The display is very basic, but serviceable. It provides basic information, such as duration of exercise, total rotations, and an estimation of calories burned. The owners manual gives very little information about how to operate the display, just play around with it and you should be able to figure it out. The knob for adjusting the resistance is easy to use, however there are no settings/markings to guide you. You just keep turning until it feels right for you. For me, this is not an issue. So, again, this cycle has been great for me. Just be aware of what you really need and keep your expectations realistic and you should be happy. Hope this helps.

there are so many things wrong with this little toy that it is hard to know where to begin. to start with, the bands that are supposed to hold your feet on the pedals are so tiny that a person with larger than size four shoe cannot get into them. There is an adjustment, but it is only 1/4 inch, so you might increase it enough for a size 4 1/2 shoe. If you try to use the pedals without them, your feet keep sliding off, so this device is clearly designed for children or small footed women. The tension control is a bolt that you tighten against the axle to increase the friction between the bolt and axle. turning the axle against friction at any seed creates heat. At the speed that a pedal turns, it creates a great deal of heat, enough to create a burning hazard, possibly a fire hazard. Finally, one of the caps that fit over the legs and are supposed to keep the machine from sliding across the floor is too loose and keeps falling off. Clearly this is a cheap copy of some more effective device, rushed into production without testing whether it would actually work. My advice is to save your money until you can get a better machine. This one is not worth what it cost to make it.

Works great

This pedal machine isn't a good fit for me for the following reasons: Very lightweight and wobbly. It slides around on the hardwood floors at home and at the office too much. It wobbles while in use making a creaking noise that would annoy coworkers. Height doesn't work for my desk. My knees hit the bottom of my desk when the pedal is in its highest position, so I have to sit further away from the desk to use this--making it hard to work. My home desk (where I'd primarily hoped to use this) has a cross piece near the bottom. If I push the pedal machine against that piece, it's stable, but I can't pedal because my foot hits the cross piece. If I pull it sufficiently away from the cross piece to pedal, the machine tends to wobble and slide around and I have to sit too far back from my desk for comfort. There is, in theory, a resistance adjustment, but it's not sufficient for pedaling with feet. When I tighten it to the maximum, I can feel the resistance when pushing the pedals by hand, but when I put it on the floor and pedal with my feet, it's as if there's no resistance. Legs are just that much stronger than hands. The foot straps aren't adjustable and I have to change into very thin, light shoes to use this. Anything that I would normally wear to work is too bulky to fit inside the foot loops. For these reasons I plan to return this purchase, but if the above items aren't issues for you, the exercise itself was exactly what I wanted. Just the machine was too awkward with my desk, chair, feet, knees, etc...
