Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser, Quiet Magnetic Mini Exercise Bike with MERACH App for Arm, Leg Recovery, Physical Therapy, Smooth Foot Desk Cycle with 2 Resistance Bands & Non-Slip Mat

THIS is the one! I wish I could give six stars. I read reviews for all of the under desk peddlers and chose this one because it has the best reviews. I absolutely love it. I highly recommend this peddler. I purchased this after rupturing my ACL. My physical therapist recommended cycling as part of my rehab. I see myself using this long term to increase my physical activity while I am working at my desk.It is sturdy with zero rocking, shifting, or movement while peddling. You can peddle forward and backwards with smooth movements in both directions. There is a wide range on the adjustable tension. It is a hard workout on the highest setting. It is super quiet and appropriate for a shared office at work. Works great under my desk allowing me to pedal while typing.There are a few downsides. It is solid, which makes it heavy. I was still able to carry it 1/4 mile from the parking garage at work to my office. You have to screw the base and pedals on. It wasn’t hard to do, but still an extra step. It doesn’t work well if you are using it while sitting in an office chair with wheels. This isn’t the fault of the peddler, but I had to adapt. I ordered some coasters to put under the wheels to keep my chair in one place. None of these issues should deter anyone from purchasing the peddler. I 100% recommend.

I love this under desk bike! With this mat it stays in place under my desk, though roller desk chair moves (I purchased wheel stoppers to help). It was easy to assemble and assemble instructions were easy to follow. It has resistant options and the added arm resistance bands are nice. This bike is the perfect size for you to be able to pedal under desk and not hit your knees (my desk is standard height). This bike has been a great way to keep my legs moving while I work all day. Though I work from home I spend many hours in meetings on my computer and cannot get up and take a long walk as much as I would like. It is very quiet so no one can hear me peddling away during meetings. Great performance so far. I would recommend for others!UPDATE 14 Months later: I had to add an update because it’s been over a year and this is still an amazing product. I’ve used this thing at least 5 days a week for over a year, I WFH. It’s just as good as the day I purchased. It’s comfortable and is truly a value for the price.

I am a woman in her early 60's. During the spring, summer and fall, I enjoy riding a bicycle outdoors several times a week. My "normal" path is about 10 miles. I tend to pass people riding with children and folks just out for a leisurely ride. I tend to be passed by people wearing jerseys with pockets in the back and lots of logos. On days when I don't ride my bike, I generally take a 3-4 mile walk outdoors. That should give you some idea of my fitness level. I got this pedaler so that I could get a bit of extra activity while I am just sitting on my backside. I've had it for a few days and have used it a couple of times. Here's my take...Assembly is very easy.It is light enough to move around easily yet heavy enough to stay put while using it. The handle makes moving it from room to room very convenient.I only use this machine while seated. I didn't bother with the resistance bands as I want the machine to use while using my hands for other activities.The pedals are not comfortable enough when just wearing socks or bare footed. I wear a pair of Crocs that I don't wear outdoors and they make the pedals comfortable.I did not bother with the pedal straps and have no problem with my feet staying put on the pedals.Using this machine is nowhere near the workout I get from taking my walk or riding a real bicycle but, it does raise my heart rate enough that I start to feel a bit warm while doing it.One would need to have very short legs in order for this to fit under a standard sitting desk and still have enough room for one's legs while using the machine.The pedals are not directly under one's hips when used as they are when riding a typical bicycle. Pedaling on this machine while seated in a chair or sofa is more like riding a recumbent bicycle.The motion is smooth enough that I am able to knit while pedaling. When seated on a stool at a desk intended for standing, I have no problem using a keyboard while pedaling.Overall, this is a nice product. The quality seems decent assuming that it will last. It is certainly better for one's body than just sitting still for hours at a time. It is so quiet that it probably won't bother other people. I'm sure I'll still be passed by those folks in the jerseys with pockets on the back and lots of logos but, at least I don't feel as though I've been a total slug when I spend most of the day knitting.

I love the small size, but it is a good quality machine. It’s very quiet. It gets the heart rate going. I burned 200 calories in 20 minutes. You can adjust the tension, and the resistance bands are decent enough to make your arms feel the workout. I recommend this to anyone who wants improve blood circulation in the arms and legs. It can sit on a table. This way you can use your arms to pedal the machine.

It's very easy to pick up and move around as its fairly lightweight. When used in combination with the included resistance bands, I found it very easy to use even whilst sitting in my wheeled computer chair. I've been using it nearly every day for about 30 minutes - 1 hour for the past 2 and a half weeks and have had no issues. I am very happy with it.

Really 4.5 stars, the pedals don’t stay upright making it difficult (for me) to get my feet into the strap. Other than that, it was easy to assemble, is heavy duty, doesn’t slip on the floor and is light enough to carry. Provides the rehab workout I was looking for.

It works good, but even with the mat it slips and slides all over. Also the battery port and display box was not very stable.
