Mini Exercise Bike, himaly Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser Portable Foot Cycle Arm & Leg Peddler Machine with LCD Screen Displays

I bought this device, because I'm able to match one of the exercises I had to do in PT after my total knee replacement. I've been struggling with the increasing flexion due to excessive inflammation after surgery due to another health condition, but device actually helped without hurting or causing excessive pain.This device is very sturdy, easy to put together (under 10 min.), and I'm able to emulate the PT exercises at home. Strongly recommend for anyone recovering after knee replacement, who is struggling with heal slides, increasing flexion and/or not able to get back on their exercise bike yet.

I bought this mini exercise bike for my mom to use as part of her daily therapy, and it’s been a great choice. It’s compact and lightweight. It fits perfectly under a chair or table. The build quality feels solid and stable. The LCD screen helps her keep track of time, reps, and calories, which keeps her engaged and motivated. She uses it for both her arms and legs, and the adjustable resistance lets her go at her own pace without straining. Best of all, it’s very quiet, so she can pedal while watching TV or reading without any noise. It’s helped her stay active in a safe and convenient way. Highly recommend for light daily therapy or gentle exercise at home.

Works great, does what it says on the tin.Being one of the most affordable under the desk bikes, this product comes with some caveats. I would not use this in a shared office space. After some use, especially with higher tension, the bike will start to squeak noticeably while pedaling. In my home office I don't really mind it. The bike has poor grip and nothing anchoring it to the floor so it tends to slide around and rock a lot on smooth flooring, especially if the tension is high.

I purchased this item to help with rehab and PT from knee surgery. I just wanted to be able to move my knee in an easy bicycle action. It is pretty cheap so not expecting great things.The unit is pretty light weight, this means that it isn't very stable and slides around while pedaling. To fix the lack of stability I placed two 15lb dumbbells on the feet at wide end of the unit - with careful placement these allow me to pedal without hitting the weights.The actual pedaling is ok, but not particularly smooth, one side has a slight catch so that there's a minor jerkiness while rotating. I can handle that since I am not doing very extended pedaling but it would be annoying for longer periods of time.The LCD display didn't do anything. It turns on but it doesn't register time elapsed or rotations. I figured that it might need a new battery so removed the unit to replace the battery. It turns out that the LCD is connected to some kind of sensor that isn't attached to anything, it's just floating around inside the unit.. I appears that the sensor is supposed to register a small magnet(?) on the flywheel but since the sensor isn't attached to anything nothing happens. I'm only using it for small 10 minute cycles so I can use the timer on my phone but I can't detect rpm or anything like that. So the LCD is pretty much useless since I don't care enough to try to find the correct attachment point for the sensor.For the price - don't expect much and then you won't be disappointed. This item is not something I would be using as a home exercise component, it's useless for that since it doesn't work very well.

So when you get a product this cheap, you kind of have to expect to get what you pay for. The bike was advertised as a stationary bike that you can pedal under your desk or place on a desk to pedal with your arms to get a workout and, to be fair, it does do those things. The problem is that the bike does not make any of this easy.For one, the bike itself is incredibly light, which seems like a good thing initially until you start to pedal. Since it is so light, it is very easy for the entire bike to move around, making it harder to keep a consistent rhythm with your legs or your arms. In addition, the bike has no catch to carpet or the rubber pad provided to prevent it from moving around, so there isn't really a way to fix the problem other than pushing it against a heavy object as you pedal and hoping for the best.The LCD is also a bit inaccurate in terms of calories burned as I believe that the amount of calories burned is consistent for anyone who uses the bike. While this may seem nice, I doubt that cycling on this for about 15 minutes without breaking a sweat means I'm burning 100 calories each time. Losing weight and burning calories is hard and having a bike with an inaccurate LCD is only going to do more harm than good as you won't actually be able to keep track of how many calories you burn.To make matters worse, the bike has almost no resistance with the pedaling, which kind of defeats the purpose as an exercise bike. The idea is to have some resistance to engage your body and encourage energy use, but the lack of resistance means you would need to be pedaling for a very long time before you get to that point. If you do try to increase the tension on the bike, you either get no change or get too much resistance, which makes the bike more likely to move before the pedal itself. Worse yet is that if you can manage to move the pedal, a horrible squeak soon starts with every cycle and it will not go away until you stop and remove the tension.Finally, the reason why I give this a one-star review despite everything else listed above comes from the last time I used it, which was a 15 minute cycle with increased tension and the horrible squeak. Really trying to make this work, I pedaled on to get some resistance until I smelt burnt rubber. Removing the LCD let out a bunch of smoke from something burning in the bike, which I assume was from something melting into the cycle as it will no longer pedal now. While I'd like to assume I was shredding the bike to the point of falling apart, I had only been pedaling for 15 minutes and at a moderate pace. If that was enough to break this bike, then nothing else should convince you that this product just isn't worth it.
