My experience: After just a few gentle minutes on this thing, I noticed my core was really exercised. In a comfortable but straight back chair, peddling about three minutes at an easy pace, I had a light sweat. I don’t even get that from walking, ever, unless it’s hot outside. I noticed my hands and arms tingled andI felt circulation all over; calves included. My thighs were working. Something I just don’t get in a chair all day long, even lifting my legs up and down for circulation.
To husband; hands off my little bike. You said you didn’t want it. IT’s mine. I have atrial fib and am on a light dose of blood thinner. I was really beginning to worry with this “stay at home” order. I’ve read it is not enough to sit most of the day and exercise even once for an hour. Moving is essential to keep the arteries pliable, with a good diet as well.
How it feels; only a few minutes on this, I’m going to bed for the first time in weeks, without that weird itchy feeling in my muscles, as if I need a massage or I just haven’t had a good day of lots of moving around. My chi feels like it’s really circulating throughout my whole body. Feet, upper arms, back etc. Maybe it’s just me but in my distant past, I did martial arts, ballet. I know what good after exercise feels like. Physically, frankly, it’s a relief to feel my body is getting fed by moving the blood around. A half hour “after” I used this for about ten gentle easy minutes, I feel this relief physically....like I took a great walk and really got my circulation going. My core feels like it did most of the work in a very gentle way....this was exactly my goal.
How I’ll use it; I intend to use it while listening to news, desk work. Feeling sluggish or needing to get my body moving. Surprised by this. I’ll be using this periodically during the day, while using my iPad especially, to stop sitting while I do that for long periods of time. Scary to think of not moving for months during this “stay at home.” This will prevent long term decline for sure.
Assembly; never used a tool supplied but probably will tighten things up a bit. It feels so sturdy. Stable. Yet very light. Easily carried from room to room. I could not be more pleased. Completely quiet! Small looking actually but solid looking as well. Very few parts, smooth and easy to unscrew the 4 bolts, stick them in and it’s done. Put 2 pedals on...done.
And, WOW, what a difference! The good:
Putting it together is easy easy (except I needed help, but I am a special case right now, with no strength). 4 bolts, and 2 pedals, and 2 batteries (and 2 foot straps). All of it went together super easy (I am using it for purely tabletop right now, so am not using the straps).
I set it at 1, and there is no resistence. I set it at 2, and I feel a workout in just a couple minutes (all I can stand right now. I have had neck surgery on 2 disks, and 3x on lower back, and my muscles are so weak I cant do much, which is why I bought this: To get stronger). My wife tried it on 8, and it was hard for her, and she is strong, so once I get to going up in resistance, I know it will be good forever for me
The Pedals are awesome, and have finger shapes on one side of them, and palm shape on the other side, so that they dont hurt like those cheapy folding ones did. There are no sharp edges on the Pedals at all, or anywhere near them.
The Display actually works (unlike the folding one I had), and it starts up as soon as you start peddling. You can have it keep your progress from every workout by just leaving it alone after your workout, or you can reset it by holding in the big red button. Perfect for me, as I like it reset every day, but dont remember what I did the day before-I can start peddling to see what my time and distance was, then hold red button to reset and see if I can beat my time and distance (although I have only had it a couple days, I have already done this this afternoon when I worked out).
My wife bought some of that non-slip stuff for the tabletop (the stuff that mechanics put in their drawers so tools dont slide around, or for kitchen drawers were you dont want stuff sliding around, same stuff), so the Minibike doesnt slide at all. Also, my wife says it is heavy enough to not slide anyway, but was easy-ish for her to move around.
I have not had any sounds from the unit, it is entirely silent.
It does not heat up like the folding one did.
The bad (or, not so good, really, there is nothing really bad on the unit I got):
It smells. And, I mean, it smells BAD! It smells like a dirty locker room. It smells like an entire football team stood above it after practice and sweated all over it. A little cleaner and a rag should sort out the smell though. I am sure this is an assembly line piece, that someone actually did sweat on, or multiple someones sweat all over. Pee-yoo
The distance to the pedals is more than the cheapy folding ones was. This hurts my neck more, and rolls my shoulders forward a bit to be able to reach it (and I am 6 foot 2 inches tall, and the Minicycle is at the very edge of the table). I hope this wont be a problem for me in the long run. I may have to buy the arm things, like they have at the Physical Therapy place, so that it will be closer to me and I wont have to strain and hurt myself (remember, I am in bad bad physical shape, very very weak, and even just sitting hurts me, so if you arent as bad off as I am then you should not have any issues).

It feels like fast-walking. Normally, I do 1-3 hours a day, usually while watching TV or browsing the web. After a week, I lost ~8 pounds, which I know is mostly water-weight, but more importantly I could feel the strengthening of muscles around my knees and hip, particularly in my quads and hamstrings. The upper body will remain fairly unengaged though, so you might consider lifting a couple of dumbbells to augment your biking (keep your back straight though), or dedicate 5 minutes of sit-ups/crunches/leg raises after.
Had it for over a month now. Very even and smooth rotation, and reasonably quite. Even at the highest resistance level, I could barely hear it over my PC fans. Like others have said; it's perfectly easy to just put your feet on it and start pedaling without the straps.
At ~22 lbs, the minibike is hefty but not too heavy to carry around. It's like a backpack full of books. The built-in handle makes it effortless to move around, while the flat weighty rubber bottoms helps the unit remain in place while you bike away. I had it on carpet; not sure how well it would stick on wooden or tiled floors.
The single-button battery-powered display is fairly basic, with no bluetooth or "smart" capabliities. Just your average distance/calories/time counters (which is all I need, really). It only turns on when you start pedaling or press the button. Calorie counters in any excerciser are generally inaccurate, but I use it as a rough estimate of my workout intesity (e.g. I get roughly the same calorie count from 1 hour at resistance level 5 vs. 3 hours at level 1). At the end of the day, I note down the numbers into a spreadsheet; then hold the button to reset the counters to zero, ready for the next day. Except for the Odometer, which continues to accumulate your overall distance.
Caveat: There wasn't enough space for me to pedal the bike under my desk. To fit it under your desk you'll need a clearing of: 35cm (highest point of the pedal from the ground) + the length from the bottom of your heel to the top of your knee + a buffer of few centimeters to avoid hitting your desk. If this won't fit and it's important for you to have it under your desk, then I would recommend lookin up "desk mini cycle", and you'll be presented with various alternatives in the market with lower pedaling profiles. I personally don't prefer the shorter bikes because they tend to have a pedaling radius that is too small for me.
La bicicleta tiene buen peso, por lo que no se desliza a menos que esté en la resistencia más alta. Compré un tapete antideslizante y todo ha ido perfecto.
