Assembly and Setup

Pros:

  • "Mine came with hex bolts already attached so after some trial and error and watching YouTube video, I finally was able to remove the tightly attached bolts so I could attach the stabilizers."
  • "The assembly was pretty intuitive."
  • "Easy to assemble following the video instead of the instructions included."
  • "It was easy to assemble and does a good job at what it’s made for."
  • "Easy to assemble, instructions aren't the best but thankfully the assembly is simple."
  • "Putting it together was simple."
  • "Well built, it was easy to assemble the needed parts prior to use."

Cons:

  • "I would have liked better instructions regarding the placement of the washers when assembling the feet."
  • "Not easy to assemble. The instructions left out an important step."
  • "I watched assembly videos and read instructions but it took me 3 hours of putting together and then taking apart again."
  • "The assembly instructions aren't clear - the pictures don't match what's included."
  • "Product came with incorrect assembly instructions and screws on base were stripped out making it impossible to put together."
  • "Instructions were too vague. Had 8 extra parts that seem to go no where. Has a strap but does not explain what it is for or where/how to connect it."
  • "OMG! WHERE DO I START=THIS PRODUCT HAS SO MANY PARTS, TWO MEN COULD NOT PUT IT TOGETHER."

Design and Quality

Pros:

  • "This little bike is great for moving your legs while you work."
  • "Small enough to keep out in the open which is good because if u see it everyday you are more likely to use!!"
  • "This mini exercise bike is the perfect size."
  • "I like that this mini cycle bike is light weight and sturdy!"
  • "I purchased this in white and it looks nice and not like a piece of dark equipment, like a TV or a computer."
  • "Great study product! Great price too!"
  • "Love this. I feel much better since I’ve been able to get some physical movement in while sitting at my desk job all day."

Cons:

  • "This is advertised for 'under the desk' use but unless your desk is up to your chin or your legs are the legs of a six year old... there is no way you can have this under a regular desk and pedal."
  • "It does not weigh enough to really stay put when using it, so I found myself constantly having to pull it back toward me in the chair."
  • "It moves around way too much, it isn’t smooth at all."
  • "It also constantly moves away from me even when placed on the provided mat."
  • "It is very light weight and therefore hard to pedal because it slips and slides."
  • "This thing cannot stay upright. Any amount of pedaling makes this thing flop all around."
  • "The item doesn't stay put. It tends to slide around on the floor, wobbles, is unstable, and the pedals don't turn smoothly at any resistance setting."

Performance and Use

Pros:

  • "It isn’t silent but the consistent sound becomes white noise after a while."
  • "We bought this for my 83 year old mother-in-law who used to be very active but is weak and fragile at this stage in her life."
  • "Absolutely love this thing! For the price, you can't beat it."
  • "I have using this mini bike since I received it...I do 5 mins 3x a day..sometimes 4x a day...morning..afternoon...evening...bedtime.I really like it. It helps my knees..legs..feet."
  • "Great for everyday use, especially if you sit a lot."
  • "I love this I use it everyday, it is easy and convenient, low impact for my knees and ankles."
  • "I absolutely love this. I don't walk in my neighborhood must because of the loose dogs and it's hot outside. This is perfect."

Cons:

  • "Purchased to support knee replacement rehab. Operation not smooth."
  • "I am recovering from spine surgery and wanted some additional physical therapy for my legs. When I used it, the pedaling was not smooth, it would catch every so often, making for a choppy workout."
  • "The gear action is so loose that the pedals constantly lock up."
  • "The tension is very light. I cannot get very much resistance."
  • "The motion movement is a bit jerky, and not a smooth 'ride' at all."
  • "The movements while rotating the pedals is very choppy and not fluid."
  • "It is so noisy! I was excited to use this under my desk while I work, but it squeaks like no other!"

Customer Service and Support

Pros:

  • "This was bought as a gift for my son. Sadly, it broke the 1st time he used it. However, it was quickly replaced with zero fuss and the 2nd one has been great!"
  • "UPDATE: After filing my complaint I received a message from the seller with a sincere apology. A few days later I received the promised replacement, which I was able to assemble quickly."
  • "I decided to return it, and the seller was great about that, and so I would definitely recommend the seller."
  • "They agreed to my returning the first machine, very easy to work with."
  • "The first product I received had a cracked. I returned it and was replaced in no time without a problem. I enjoy using it while watching TV so I’m kinda doing range of motion exercise and not just stagnant on my sofa. Happy to have it!"

  • "Bought this for my elderly mom. She enjoys using it which tells me she is moving her legs. It was a perfect Christmas gift."

Cons:

  • "Company doesn't seem to sell replacement parts on amazon or through their main website."
  • "Wouldn't recommend for anyone at this rate."
  • "The pedals wouldn't even move."
  • "Just received my bike and tried to screw left pedal but there is a big problem. Screw itself on the pedal is much bigger than hole to which suppose to be screw in. Absolutely useless until maybe seller will provide me with a new pedal."
  • "No customer support their emails bounce, phone just rings incessantly."
  • "I received item with NO BOLTS OR SCREWS to stabilize my product. CAN I HAVE the bolts and screws that’s suppose to come with my Item."
