Overview
This under-desk pedal exerciser adds a 5-pound metal flywheel and an LCD display to the usual mini bike format, with a tension knob meant to lower resistance for rehab-style use.
The metal flywheel is meant to add smoothness compared to lighter pedal exercisers, and the tension knob lets resistance be dialed down after surgery or injury. Buyer feedback, however, points to the tension knob failing to hold on some units, so that adjustable-tension claim does not always hold up in practice.
- 5 lb metal flywheel
- Adjustable tension knob (buyer-reported reliability issues)
- LCD display: time, distance, count, calories
- Includes non-slip floor mat
Who it's for
Works well for people doing gentle seated leg or arm exercise for circulation, including older adults and those recovering from a knee procedure. Less suited to anyone expecting a smooth, gym-grade pedaling feel, since multiple reviewers describe choppy motion or a tension knob that will not tighten.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who bought this for elderly parents or knee rehab say it is quiet and easy to assemble, with several buying multiple units as gifts. Complaints center on the tension knob not tightening or loosening properly, the display showing kilometers with no way to switch units, one report of pedals unthreading from the arms due to an assembly error, and one buyer calling the pedaling action choppy rather than smooth.
