Sunny Health & Fitness Dual Function Under-Desk Bike Trainer, Mini Exercise Machine for Senior Training, Arm/Leg Cardio Cycle Workout, Optional Magnetic, Motorized w/Free SunnyFit App Connection

I should use this exercise equipment more than I do. I have sometimes gotten it to be a daily habit, but other times it is little more than a footrest or tripping hazard. I usually keep it right in front of the couch.I found that it was easier for my 4'2" sister to pedal with the bike turned the wrong g way with the bigger end right up against the couch. She usually isn't interested in exercising, but she seemed to enjoy it at least once.I am about 5' tall. I usually put pillows behind me if I want to pedal while sitting on the couch. If I don't have pillows behind me I tend to lean back in a way that is probably not great fir my back I stead of sitting up straight.Sometimes I just pedal a little off and on while watching TV. It is pretty easy if I have the bike right there to remind d me. I should be getting more exercise in general. This is an easy way to at least get some, even if I can't leave the house or don't have much free time. I can exercise while hanging out with my sister even if her wheel chair is not available to take her for a walk. When she was littler I used to take her for walks more, but she doesn't tolerate as much walking as she did years ago, and still can't be left home alone.I like this model because I can use it for either my hamds and arms or my feet and legs. I had been having problems with.my shoulder when I got it. After an experience with Covid I had more sciatica and eventually found out I had spinal stenosis in my lumbar and cervical parts of my spine. This is a reasonably gentle form of exercise that probably helps both those parts, or at least doesn't hurt as much as some things.My dad was not a big fan of this model because he doesn't feel like the resistance levels are different enough. He tends to crank up the resistance, sometimes as high as he can. I prefer it on a lower resistance level so I can keep going longer. It is nice that it is easy to adjust the resistance.My brother said he had tried some less expensive similar bikes. He found that they moved around too much on his smooth wood floor. This one is heavy enough to stay put when you want it to, and the rubbery feet help avoid sliding or floor damage. I can also pick it up by the handle and move it if it is in the way or I want to use it in a different place. I took it to my brother's house when he and his wife were out of town and we stayed with thir kids. I think kids are not supposed to use this, but we let them try it with supervision. The ones who were not as tall as my sister found creative ways to make it work for them. They seemed to like it a lot.I think.it really works best if I sit on a stable firm stationary chair that is the right height for me to reach to.pedals easily. It is possible to adjust for leg length a bit by moving the bike closer or farther from the chair. If the chair is too high, it won't work. But it can work with a chair that is lower than you normally sit on.I have tried using this one for my arms when it is on a table. I even put another one under the table so I could exercise my kegs at the same time. I don't do that often though. I am usually too lazy to clear a space and pick the thing up to put it on the table. I would also want to clean it because I don't think my feet and the floor are as clean as the table and my hands. It is nice to have the option though.

I ordered this after having a total knee replacement. It is perfect. It's light enough that I can lift it around myself, but heavy enough to be durable. I use every morning to make sure my new joint is in and still working right. I started at .5 miles and now up to 3 miles a day. I pull one of my rolling office chairs up to it. It was easy for my hubby to put together. It's very quiet, if on carpeting or a rug it doesn't slip. I feel like this has been a big part of my good recovery. It, along with my comfy chair has made my recovery so much faster and easier. It's super easy to use. It can also be placed on a table for shoulder recovery.

This is a review of the magnetic version, which is totally different from the motorized version.Given the small size and light weight there are naturally some limitations in the amount of force that can be applied to the pedals. The crank throw is also quite short, so it is not like using a full-sized excercise bike. There are 8 magnetic settings that must be adjusted manually so there is no program to simulate hills for example. The pedaling movement on mine was smooth all the way to setting 8. The control unit and display are powered by an AAA cell so there is no light and it's not so easy read depending on the angle. The display can show the time, distance or speed, or it can be set to cycle through them.You do have to be careful to avoid slippage of the machine at higher levels. I tether mine to a chair or bench.This is not a main exercise bike replacement, but nice to transport to locations by car so that you can get a bit of excercise when visiting relatives or during a lunch at the workplace.I'm deducting a star because the crank throw and pedals are quite small, more like for a somebody of petite size. The straps are unable to get more than a 2-3 inches over a 9.5W Mens shoe and the pedal width is also small.

Surprisingly effective! Bought it to exercise while rehabbing a back injury. Very sturdy and easy to operate (except for the digital screen that is hard to see). Finding the right tradeoff in terms of resistance and effectiveness took a couple of “rides” but once I got it wired then boosting my heart rate while not stressing my back met my objective. [“Surprising” because you see ads on tv for these kinds of mini-cycles and people are just mindlessly pedaling away without any obvious effort which wasn’t my objective.]

It's just heavy enough to stay put and just light enough to lift easily. The placement of the handle is perfect for facilitating lifting. It does not slip on the throw rug where I place it, and neither does the rug. I can't speak for slippage on hard floors directly, but when I had it on a Formica counter while I was assembling it, it did not seem that it would slip easily.Pedals are comfortable on my bare feet, and it pedals smoothly and quietly. Yes, you can pedal backward without any issues.Putting on the legs was easy, putting on the pedals was hard. I did have to get out a socket wrench for that. Be sure you get them on the correct sides. Apparently, based on reviews, that has been an issue for some. Which I don't understand, since the manufacturer even went so far as to put left and right tags on each pedal arm, mark each pedal left and right directly on the pedals, and color code the washers. Maybe the people who got them on the wrong sides were looking at it from the wrong side, but there are also illustrations in the manual of exactly what is meant by left and right. Oh, the manual is amazing as well. Took me back to my technical writing days.It's also nice looking.I debated among several similar units before buying this one, and I wound up buying the most expensive of the ones I was considering. It was worth it.
