I had my right shoulder replaced a couple of months ago. I am going through physical therapy twice a week. At home I need to do exercises too. I got this and it's excellent for my exercises and help strengthen and mobilize my shoulder. I runs for about 15 minutes. You can adjust the speed from slow to fast and anywhere in between. This exerciser is made very well and of good quality material. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Product.

It works fine; but…Short cord, it slides easialy, awkward to handle and move. Footstraps are difficult to adjust to size.
Needs a holder for the timer. Build quality is good. Price is all over the board.

I owned one of these for over five years using it daily, and it was the best thing for my circulation. It finally died, so I purchased this newer model. It worked the same, but is a bit thinner and can fold in pedals. Takes up a bit less space, but still seems sturdy. If it lasts as long as it’s predecessor, I will be thrilled.

Very nice with the assisted peddling

Initially I liked the portable exerciser. However it never felt like I was really working my leg muscles because the bike does it for you. When I stop the motor, and ride the bike manually, I felt the effects much more helpful to improving leg function. Also the curly cord for the remote was very short and I could not keep it where I could change functions.

I think I misunderstood the intention of this thing. If you have ANY level of fitness you'll get nothing out of this. I used this for about 2 hours combined and I can barely get my heart rate above 90 bpm. There are no resistance settings, which boggles my mind. And there's even a motor to make it even easier??
The motor might be quality, no idea. I have nothing to compare it to. But all other components (display, control mechanism, straps etc) are all bottom of the barrel quality. I bet this cost $50 had to put together.
Bottom line: I really regret this purchase.

My mother has Parkinsons and wasn't open to physical therapy. I read studies of forced rate exercise (especially cycling) for Parkinsons. There is a bike $5,000-7,000 but we didn't want to spend that much for something she might not use so we purchase this instead. It was very easy for her to use and she has been using it at the highest speed for 45 minutes everyday. It was a great affordable way to introduce her to physical activity while still home and comfortable. It don't think at the high speed it gets the 90 rpm recommended for Parkinsons but as she gets better we can graduate to the therapy bike.
Update: Mom is still using this daily but sometimes she will go for 2 hours. Her doctor even recommends it for other patients who need affordable options. Her Parkinsons has not progressed and her medication dosage hasn't had to be increased.
1 year after purchase: mom still uses it regularly, no noticeable progression of
Parkinsons and no changes to her medication.
