Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser, Quiet Magnetic Mini Exercise Bike with MERACH App for Arm, Leg Recovery, Physical Therapy, Smooth Foot Desk Cycle with 2 Resistance Bands & Non-Slip Mat

If you're on the fence about getting this - do it! Buy and use it, you will not regret it.I am morbidly obese, and also have a sedentary lifestyle (work from home). Adding more to the equation... I have big feet (they get in the way sometimes!). AND where I want to sit and peddle is a small space in my bedroom office, under a small desk. I've been thinking about getting something like this for a while... but skeptical on its effectiveness (really? my discipline to actually do it).I was able to put it together in under 30 mins (probably would have gone faster, but I was watching a church program too). Its easy! However, I can see where an elderly person or someone with not a lot of arm strength might need assistance. After getting it done, I was peddling at the dining room table while finishing the church mtg - and I love it!Its super quiet and very smooth. I played around with the resistance too... preferring mid-range (side note, I can see where a remote would be cool to change it while peddling, but that's a higher-end model and really not a big deal).Now, don't judge...within 5 mins my heart rate was up and I really felt like I was working out - which is great! I could feel a slight burn in my legs, so I know I was doing my body good. All while comfortably sitting at my dining room table. No need to put on anything special... no difficult-to-impossible or hurtful moves... just smooth peddling at a rate that felt good. Full disclosure, I was peddling bare foot with no issues whatsoever. Oh, and the thing didn't budge on my hard wood floor...stayed put while I peddled away. No pad needed either.I've moved it to under my desk (pic attached)... yes, its a tight fit and I do have to sit back just a bit from my desk so that my knees are clear (but not much). Also, my rolling desk chair isn't ideal... I have to hold the desk to keep from pushing myself back, again not a big deal... works my arms. ;-) The peddling motion is smooth & quiet... could easily do this while on the phone or in a meeting, if my slightly flushed face didn't give me away. lolThe plastic straps on the peddles... I don't need them. And with shoes on? Its a struggle to get my feet in. Peddling without straps is super easy... not really needed and can be easily removed.Feels very sturdy, like it should last a good time... I really hope so. Definitely a great purchase!

This machine is fantastic.It has everything you need to bike in the confines of your home. If you have a big screen tv& can acess YouTube on it, go there & look for bicycling vids.Then set up you peddle machine if front of the chair you will be peddling on. Make sure you put the mat down & the machine on it. Put you reistance settinging on 2. Then set up your speed & distance setting. Start your biking video & start peddling. This machine is much better than othersbecause it is a bit highet & the peddles are much more closer to a bikes than the others. Assembly is straight forward & easy, just read the instructions. It can give you a great workout for those who can't run or bike anymore with those who have dissabilities. Best money I have spent in ages.

Easy to work with resistance straps.

Very easy to build and even easier to operate. I did learn that trying to do this from a perch on an exercise ball, to hard for me to balance and pedal. So, I just sit on the end of my bed and pedal with my cordless mouse and keyboard. Easy Peasy. Highly recommend.

Love my peddler…so convenient to use while watching tv since it’s so absolutely quiet! It has a window to inform you on your exercise progress…time, speed, etc. my husband and I both use it …and using it is so easy! When walking is difficult during winter, this little exerciser is fantastic! It’s also a great way to warm up for PT exercises…such a great purchase for a great price!

Great under desk bike! My husband has health issues and this is great exercise for those not stable on their feet. He is loving having the bands for extra arm workouts too. I highly recommend.

I didn't particularly like this. It wasn't for me. My beat kept slipping off and I was afraid of getting hurt with it. I sent it back. They were awesome about giving a refund. It may work for someone else, but not for me.

So good. Had too stop my treadmill back problems & needed to keep eorking my legs. This is perfect.
