Niceday Mini Exercise Bike, Foot Pedal Exerciser, Under Desk Bike, Desk Pedal Bike, 8 Magnetic Levels Resistance, Quiet and Smooth Pedal Machine for Arms Legs, Workout Equipment for Home Office

A really solid product which is already doing wonders for my elderly husband's mobility problems. A full exercise bike would not be suitable but this is ideal. It's sturdiness does make it quite heavy to move around, but it's very easy to operate and he can pedal away whilst sitting in his chair and watching tv. It was easy to assemble, however we had a problem with the left hand pedal spindle nut, which is cross threaded so won't go on, and every effort to contact the seller has come to nothing. If we had wanted to return the bike then there would be no problem, but all we want is a replacement nut! I haven't deducted a star because the product is very good and is doing exactly what we wanted it to do.

I bought this for an elderly friend to help strengthen his legs as he's not able to walk far. He really enjoys using it and now pedals away happily at a leisurely pace for up to an hour each day. So far his legs are improving as is his circulation - he was complaining of 'cold legs' before, a sure sign that blood isn't circulating as well as it might. It's also helping to reduce some swelling he had in one foot due again to poor circulation. He's very happy to have a means of getting exercise indoors as winter approaches. So far no complaints on the build quality, It's a sturdy item, feels well built and doesn't feel cheap. We will see how long it lasts with daily use but it feels like it should last a long time. It's used on a carpeted floor and so far haven't had any issues with it moving out of position. It was very easy to put together and came supplied with two spanners for tightening the nuts for the feet and pedals. There was one very minor issue with one of the pedal straps which I contacted the seller about, they were very responsive and helpful. They kindly sent a complete replacement pair of pedals which arrived a few days later which was more than they needed to do. One of the best things about it is the resistance is not provided by means of a roller pressing against the flywheel, when you stop pedalling the wheel continues to 'coast' for a little bit then stops instead of coming to a dead stop. This gives the feeling you're building up a little momentum instead of constantly fighting against a roller pressed against a wheel. The maximum resistance level is not very high, my friend started off immediately on the highest level of resistance and seems happy at that but a little more resistance would give a bit more of a workout. The digital readout is useful and easy to use. Overall very happy with the purchase and glad I didn't go for one of the cheaper options.

This product is very good quality and priced correctly in my opinion. Assembly is straight forward and the supplied spanners are good. The adjustable settings provide smooth rotation throughout. The pedals are also very free and smooth running. The digital display is clear and easy to see. The unit is heavy but it needs to be for stabilty and to make sure all your effort goes into pedeling. It is very very quiet in operation. I bought this because I have an incomplete Spinal Chord injury caused by Stage 4 Cancer. At the moment I am a Wheelchair user. This will help me to get my lower body co-ordination and Leg muscle strength back. Also it will improve my Cardio Vascular system. Which being Wheelchair bound is very important. I have just spent 10 minutes on it at the lowest setting and could feel my heart rate go up. Also my Legs feel warmer so the Blood is getting circulated better. As far as a rehabilitation device goes this is worth every penny. Anybody who spends a lot of time sitting, can definately benefit from one.

Received it today, it looks and feels sturdy and well built (except for the led monitor that is hard get back in place after installing the batteries) but the resistance it has even at level 8 is not strong enough for me. I have been cycling for an hour and I don't feel anything that tells me I have been exercising.

Brilliant, sturdy and really helping with the recovery of my recent total knee replacement.

I am very impressed with the quality of this mini exercise bike. I purchased it to see whether I could improve the muscles around my knee and ankle joints where I had been suffering with the effects of arthritis following ankle surgery's back in the 80s. I was struggling to get up after getting down to do something at low level. I can confirm that the mini bike has made a dramatic improvement to my mobility in a short time. I use it for 10 minutes every day on level 5 and now I can get up easier and the pain in my knees has reduced. It works well for me and I sincerely hope that if you purchase one it works in the same way for you.

great value for the money super product

Very pleased with this. Really sturdy. Instructions to assemble were very good. Read them carefully and take your time!
