Yo-Yo DESK BIKE | Award Winning | Burn calories when working | As seen on TV for Home or Office

Right. So I came across this product on Facebook. It was one of those annoying adverts that kept popping up and as I had been looking to buy a treadmill or cheap bike, I assumed that's why it kept appearing. It looked good for me as I am (along with rest of the world) working from home and just can't find the time to get enough exercise. Anyway. Cut to a few weeks later when I started trying to find anything that would actually get delivered and I saw this bike again on Amazon. No decent amount of reviews and in all honestly, I just took a punt. It was deliverable on PRIME and I'm running out of options. I've had it for a couple of days and honestly, it's fantastic. Robust. A really well made piece of kit. Not some gimmicky piece of plastic. It really is exactly what I wanted and the quality far exceeds what I would have accepted. I feel like it deserves a lot more love as I imagine there are loads of working from home people that would really benefit from this. I can easily do 2-3 hours on this whilst doing Zoom calls or emails. It's a great investment and the product is great quality. (delivery was also great, well packaged - impressive all round).

After receiving far more use than usual during quarantine, my old exercise bike literally buckled and collapsed under my 115kg frame last week after many years of adequate service. With the current drought of exercise equipment available I knew I'd probably have to bite the bullet and spend a lot more than I usually would as there are very few bikes in stock anywhere and even less that would actually hold my weight class up in the air. With meddling reviews on other available machines, I thought I'd throw caution to the wind and check out this rather curious looking machine and I'm extremely glad I did.First off, this thing is HEAVY and honestly a bit of a nightmare to get out of the box, but once that's out of the way it's completely smooth sailing. It's a very sturdy, fantastic looking piece of kit and you can definitely see where your money went right out of the box as the quality is amazing. I imagine if Apple made an exercise bike, this is exactly what it'd look like and like most Apple products I can see this beast lasting me a good number of years.Set up is less than 5 minutes, which is a dream compared to most other brands (some are 2-3 hours worth of heartache) and almost makes it worth the asking price alone. Just slide the wheeled feet out, flip the peddles down, attach the desktop with 1 screw using the provided allen key and you're done. There's some neat little rubber covers for the peddles and a spiffy rubber matt to place your drink on which goes over the battery compartment that powers your instruments. You'll need 2 x AA batteries as they aren't provided.On first use it is a very smooth and almost completely silent ride with just a very light clicking sound on each rotation, which seemed to disappear the higher I cycled up through the tensions. The seat is extremely comfortable unlike most other bikes I've used in the past. I did an hour on it with very little discomfort as apposed to struggling to get 30 minutes out of my old one before ending up officially 'butthurt'. I doubt you could do anything really fancy on it like spin classes etc as there is literally a desk sitting in your lap, so it's not really an option. But for ease of assembly, build quality and appearance, it really can't be beat.As for the afore mentioned desk element. The desktop is once again extremely sturdy and very easy to move up/forwards/backwards and just slightly harder to push back down again. I really had no intention of using that component beyond leaning on it or maybe sitting my laptop on it while surfing the net. But with the very comfortable seat and the more than ample size of the desktop itself, I can definitely see myself actually using the the whole thing as a moveable work station with either standing or sitting functionality.If I have one gripe it is the exorbitant amount of packaging involved. I filled 2 jumbo garbage bag with the foam the bike was housed in inside the box...the Attenborough's would not be pleased. But that has nothing to do with the quality of the actual product itself which is outstanding!It's very rare these days to receive a product that actually meets all your expectations let alone surpasses them, but this particular item has definitely done that for me!Buy with complete confidence!

So pleased with this product and the promptness of delivery. Brilliant for anyone who works from home or is looking for indoor cardio. Works as an exercise bike or as a light desk activity. Recommended for gamers, instead of a laptop it is easy to put your mouse and keyboard on the table and mount monitors at the right height on shelves or any other surface. Absolutely perfect. Quiet, secure, really cannot recommend enough.

Pros: sturdy when pedalling; can be wheeled around; with desk removed easily stored; 8 resistance settings. Had a Nordic Trek for similar price that moved about, squeaked and the wheel kept slipping - this is far more silent and stable (so far).Cons: desk wobbles slightly (you can read but not write emails or do zooms effectively); pointless LED display (obscured by desk or shadows of your legs, need a torch to read it even in very bright room); ordered next day for Sat, arrived Tuesday! (no customer contact/apology - 3 days awaiting delivery at home meant I couldn’t personally deliver elderly parent’s shopping); one wheel doesn’t move (not sure if it’s a fault or by design); desk can’t incline (ok for laptop but not for phone/iPad); pedals not very wide, bit of ankle bashing initially; no pedal straps (but £4.99 set from Amazon work fine); you can’t change resistance mid ride (too awkward to reach); a lot of packaging waste; needed padded seat cover to add comfort and a little extra height (I’m only 5’11 so 6’ + might get knee ache without full leg extension).Not super impressed for the price, and unlike other exercise bikes you are positioned less like a road bike and more like a unicycle or penny farthing(!).But... it’s been used a lot so far and will get used more. I use a beep app on my phone to do 30 sec on/off intervals (there is a slight jarring or loss of resistance when you halt the speed, hopefully this won’t worsen). The desk has plenty of space for lap top, remote controls, books/magazines, you may also want to do a small jigsaw puzzle on it.I’m unable to run due to injury and needed to show me using this to my physio to see if it’s appropriate for recovery, but it arrived late. Next physio appointment in a few weeks, will update. No obvious signs that it’s doing me harm. Maybe the penny farthing cyclists had it right!

I waited for what seemed ages to receive the yo yo bike desk. Now here, it’s heaven. Easy to get on for an old dear with hipReplacement. Can work on my laptop or watch tv. Absolute Heaven. Haven’t worked out how it measures calories as yet and would prefer measurements in miles not Kim’s. Ideal for me in my 70s and hopefully increase my level of fitness.
