I recently had hip surgery. I do many exercises at physical therapy, but I noticed that riding the recumbent bike seems to loosen my hip, warm it up, and help with discomfort. I think it just keeps the blood flowing. At present those are the benefits I'm looking for right now; I may want to do more resistance and muscle building in the future, but for the present, this little machine as described just seemed to hit the target I was looking for. It arrived today, and I was very excited. I opened it right away and assembled it. Assembly was very easy, and very good instructions are included. That was only about a 15 minute exercise. Also there are good videos on youtube that show it to you in 2 minutes flat. I would recommend searching for one of those just to be sure you aren't leaving anything out. I really dislike redoing things and I bet you do, too. All the parts were there and everything went together like a charm with stabilizers, feet, and straps being the main parts. The straps were already on the feet and happily fit just right, but they can be adjusted to be bigger or smaller.
Although most reviews were very good, and this little unit today is the number one of 100 in physical therapy leg exercisers, some reviews had me a little concerned about how smooth and easy the pedaling would be. I couldn't wait to use it and see which side I would fall on. I needn't have worried. It immediately worked smoothly and pedaled easily and quietly. If you look at my video, the background noise is from the kitchen, not the device. You can hardly hear it when you're using it. It easily goes from no or very little resistance to medium resistance, and the monitor works exactly as described. The battery was already installed. I have it on carpet. It doesn't move around when I'm pedaling and it's not up against any barrier. I can sit comfortably in my chair and pedal to my heart's content. I love it!
It's exactly what I wanted, and I did also want to mention that I got it from Amazon Resale (formerly Amazon Warehouse). When I started to purchase it, the offer for the unit in "Used Like New" condition popped up for half the price! I have found that items that are "Used Like New" are just that, like new, and the price was great, so that's the one I got. It arrived in perfect order in its original box, which actually appeared to have never been opened.
I enjoy using this little exerciser, and I already know it's going to help me improve faster. I am thrilled with this purchase. I highly recommend this Mini Exercise Bike!

Nice product. I didn't even use all the little features that were meant to track various results. I was recovering from cancer treatment and this floor excerciser really helped to keep my legs ankles and feet moving. And it's super easy to use, and you can adjust the tension on the pedals for increased resistance. I placed mine on the floor in front of a very stationary and comfortable chair and I sat and pedaled while watching TV.

it is easy enough to assemble, but the instructions are HORRIBLE! it is a lightweight, which can be a good and bad thing as it makes the machine a little unstable. quality is good. definitely NOT slip resistant. if you need it to be stable, this is not it. it came with a mat and a canvas belt that you are instructed to strap around the machine to keep it from sliding. very strange. otherwise it works well. bought this for my 88-year old parents and they like it. great for small spaces. easy to move around. it is quite and you can change the resistance levels. the only strange thing is that the knob to change the resistance levels just keeps turning. there is no point where you hit a place when it stops turning. but you get what you pay for. also not very comfortable for arm pedal. the strap gets caught on the side of the machine and makes it a little annoying to get past that ping every time.

I bought this device, because I'm able to match one of the exercises I had to do in PT after my total knee replacement. I've been struggling with the increasing flexion due to excessive inflammation after surgery due to another health condition, but device actually helped without hurting or causing excessive pain.
This device is very sturdy, easy to put together (under 10 min.), and I'm able to emulate the PT exercises at home. Strongly recommend for anyone recovering after knee replacement, who is struggling with heal slides, increasing flexion and/or not able to get back on their exercise bike yet.
