It is very well built and easy to put together. So far it has worked very well for me.
The feet need to be held on better they turn on the cycle when using it on carpet
It’s small and fits under the desk – but not if you want to use it (knees smashing into the desk etc). Fine… So I try it just sitting on the couch… the “anti-sliding grippers” are a joke. The thing flies away from you and it’s more of a workout to keep it within reach than to actually use it.
Then there’s the fact that when you try to pedal it goes FAST SLOW FAST SLOW so you get the sensation of stumbling while pedaling. Not the smooth “barely notice it’s there” feeling that you get when riding a real bike or an exercise bike. Probably because the tension adjuster is hitting a variable (read cheaply made) internal device.
I would NOT recommend this product.
I was very satisfied with my purchase. It arrived as schelued.
Thanks,

I wanted a small stationary bike to keep under my desk at work. At first it was a bit noisy after about 20-30 mins of biking, but after spraying with WD-40 and learning to reduce the tension I found I could bike all day. Depending upon my work day I bike anywhere from an hour a day to 6 or 7 while working. The bike has had a few issues one of the pedals now slides off and the caps on the sides where the pedals connect slip off (easy to put back in place though), but I’ve had it for 9 months now with heavy usage. I plan to replace shortly with another one. For my purposes – this bike fits the bill.
Note if you want to use in the office (most desks are just slightly too low. Since I have a large monitor I found I was able to slide a little back from the desk and bike pretty well. It only took a couple weeks of knee bumping on the edge of the desk to master my technique and I’ve gotten quite proficient at typing from this pushed back position. I recommend trying it out your tired of sitting still all day at work. Even at low resistance your still burning more calories than you would sitting still.
Buyers BEWARE. This is a peice of JUNK. Only buy if you like unsafe, lopsided exercise equipment. After you get it assembled; the front left lifts up before you even try to exercise on it. Then, if you decide to use it just for the arms and put it on the table; the lift is much, much worse–so keep that in mind if you decide to go ahead and waste your hard earned money on this piece of garbage.
