Stamina InStride Folding Cycle XL Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser w/Smart Workout App - Mini Exercise Bike Desk Exercise Equipment for Legs & Arms - Fully Assembled

I'm very pleased with this. It's an amazing value for $36.It is extremely sturdy. I was thinking it might be bendable lightweight aluminum, but I doubt that I could dent this with a sledgehammer. And while it is easy to move around, it is not a piece of lightweight junk.It is easy to assemble. The instructions looked daunting, but the nuts and bolts are all identical, and it rapidly became apparent that each leg gets attached to the main piece at three places, a t bolt screws into the top for tension control, the timer slips on, and presto, you're done.Let me address a few things I read in the reviews that had me a bit worried before I bought it:It does not slide for me on carpet. I spoke to their customer service, and the lady there said she places hers against a wall to prevent sliding.There is a slight jerk in each revolution, but pushing down on the pedals with slightly more force than you might think you need fixes that. So it doesn't have the complete Zen quality of a real exercise bike, but what the heck, it's $36.I asked her about squeaking, and she said two things. One is you can add oil by unscrewing the t bolt, adding oil, then putting the t bolt back, and the other is that sometimes if the bike has been used long enough, you will have to dial back the tension via the t bolt as it does tighten up and may squeak.I find that the t bolt does control the tension well. It is not all or nothing, imho.The size is very convenient, you can put it in the bottom of a closet easily.This is a really excellent product for non-jocks who want to get in better shape, the elderly, etc.

I have been through physical therapy and am now ready to do at-home therapy to improve my flexibility, as I rely on a cane at this stage, and wish to be back to normal. I am 69 years young, and have a new bicycle waiting for me once I begin walking normally again. I saw this product, and thought what a great way to limber up at home while working on the computer (I spend on average 5 to 6 hours a day sitting at my desk). I just started using this nifty machine yesterday, and I am over the moon thrilled! I did learn that it needs to be on carpet (not on my glossy floor mat under my desk and chair) as it slides without having carpet underneath. After finding the proper placement I have been able to peddle at a setting that is not too hard yet, and cannot believe how in one day of use I already feel stronger! The price is right, the size is small enough for my small apartment, and it already 95% assembled, easy to finish in minutes. I recommend this to anyone who is sedentary much of a day. Gets the heart pumping, and the feeling in my legs and hip area are awesome. Thank you for a great product.

I've had mine for 6 years now and it's still holding up like a champ! That also might be because I don't use it nearly as often as I should.... I do use it, but more often would be preferable. It's a really great little machine, particularly if you don't have a lot of space but want some kind of exercise equipment. After 6 years I've found its performance and construction to both be solid and reliable. The straps and pedals are still intact, it cycles smoothly and without any problems, everything still tightens/loosens as needed for a comfortable exercise experience.It's basically designed for people who need light or low impact exercise to be able to use without strain or injury. It's also great for those who work at desks all day or night to have something to help get some motion to their body while still working on whatever project they are in the middle of. That's actually why I use it now, I do a lot of work at my computer and use it as a little extra exercise when I have long projects to work on. I actually initially bought it because I was injured (shoulder and back) and they had me use one of these they had set up for upper body injuries on a table in physical therapy. You basically did the same motion as you would with your legs except it was your hands on the pedals - it was to increase the motion in my shoulder.There are only two minor downsides to this cycle. The first is the size - yes, it's small and takes up way less space than a bike, but its smallness is weirdly spread out and when put under a desk it seems like it's constantly in the way. For something so little it takes up a lot of real estate.The second thing is the sound... other reviewers have mentioned that when you use it for a long period of time it squeaks... that's probably true, I rarely use it for extended amounts of time, but I have noticed that just during light everyday use it's got kind of a 'click and thunk' sound as you're pedaling which is loud enough to be more than a little noticeable. Those aren't major problems and I still love it and would recommend it, but I thought they were worth mentioning.

Ok first off, The package came on time and it's well built. I received it 2 days ago. I bought this cycle for my father because he has rheumatoid arthritis and high blood pressure. His legs became numb months ago, causing him to fall a lot and not be able to walk without assistance. It's only been 2 days since he's been using it and the numbness in one of his legs is gone and he is able to walk a lot better and he hasn't fell yet, thank god. He says that he can "already feel a difference". He was not able to walk without dragging his left foot, but now it is already lifting off of the ground. The cycle seems to be improving the circulation and strength in his legs.He used the cycle for 20 mins. on the first day and 30 mins. on the 2nd. day, which is today. I can see the improvement and it makes me happy. This will also help lower his blood pressure. I created a workout routine for him and I use words a lot to keep him motivated. This is worth the money.And yes it does give a slight pause when u cycle, but all that does is makes him try harder to push, which gives him more of a workout. I love this thing!and so does he!

El producto llegó en tiempo y forma vía DHL y sin ningún problema ni contratiempo. Es una pedalera bastante buena, realmente no hay mucho que destacar ya que cumple muy buen con la función. Solo como detalle es importante agregarle unos antiderrapantes ya que en algunos pisos suele resbalar, pero nada del otro mundo. La recomiendo sin problema para uso terapéutico en personas de la 3ra edad.

I bought this when I went back to working in an office as I find that once I sit down in the morning the next thing I know it can be the end of the day and I've barely moved from my seat and my lower back is aching.It was super easy to put together just adding the feet (which are flat on one side to keep it from shifting) on and connecting two pieces, I had it together in a couple minutes. I like having the option of the little timer but I find I rarely use it. The part that I really like about these is the handle over top of the foot pedals which helps keep my dress shoes in place.I'm pretty tall so my knees do hit the bottom of the table if i'm not careful but have found that if I pull out my keyboard I can manage without that problem. I turn the tensioner on super tight which helps with that too.This is not meant for folks who are super in shape looking to train but is great for people looking to add in a little mobility and movement into an otherwise tedious sitting day.I know it doesn't sound like a feature but also while I'm not using it to cycle, it makes a nice rest for my feet while I'm sitting on my desk. All in all I really recommend this to anyone looking to add a little more activity while not losing productivity. I'm still very pleased with my purchase and find that it helps my back from aching by the end of the day too.

Excelente aparato para la rehabilitación de mis pacientes , no pesa mucho se puede guardar fácilmente, y el material es bueno , también me llego antes de loPrevisto

I got this to help me get more physical activity while pregnant because I was too dizzy and unstable for other activities. The pedals are smoother when you use your hands; pedaling like a bike, they're a little jolty and it's a little harder to get good momentum going because of that. It's hard to get the tension knob tight enough to make a difference too. The worst part though, is that not only are the feet not rubber (so they might have a chance to stay put), but the black parts actually rotate around the frame, which makes them even more useless for gripping. I get that you need them to move a little depending on the surface, but they should lock in place somehow and be rubbery on the flat parts.It does the job, but it could be tweaked in a bunch of different ways.

El pedido llegó muy a tiempo, incluso unos días antes. El producto es de buena calidad, lo único es que se desliza al utilizarlo, lo pondremos sobre algún tapete
