YOSUDA Under Desk Bike with 16-Level Magnetic Resistance, Mini Exercise Bike with Bluetooth App, Pedal Exerciser While Sitting for Office Workers & Seniors, Leg Machines for Home Exercise & Recovery

I set this up a few days ago in anticipation of total knee replacement surgery which I had yesterday. I can’t say much about the internal resistance mechanism durability since I’m not supposed to use it until next week, but so far I’m very impressed. It felt smooth and comfortable in testing. The overall design is nice and includes a handle to move the device around easily. Not that I will be carrying it in the first few weeks after surgery. Set up was easy with clear directions. The mechanism is smooth and the resistance goes from nothing to harder than a floor device like this can really support unless you attach it to the floor with screws, and I can’t imagine home users are going to want to do that. In other words, at the highest settings, the whole device will skitter away from you even if placed on a non-slide mat and using the included bungee cords. By the way, the unit comes with a non-slide mat and the included bungee cords come complete with (lightly padded) handles for your hands plus clips to attach to the machine on the other side. You don’t need to buy these items separately. If you really want the high resistance settings, the mat probably works much better on a tile or wood floor. I have to set mine on a low nap rug, which may not be ideal. Likewise, using ropes instead of the bungee cords will prevent sliding altogether. However, that’s not really what a device like this is designed for. I will be using it for rehab, and for that it is perfect. If you’re having trouble deciding between a bicycle style device or an elliptical trainer style device, both the surgeon’s staff and my independent PT said the bicycle style device was the appropriate choice. Check with your PT, but I think this is the one you want. As a former bicycle shop owner, my only complaint is with the pedals. They are smooth but very stiff. Then again, you are wanting resistance from a device like this so it doesn’t matter. Plus, the stiff pedals mean you don’t have to master the skill of flipping the pedal up in order to use the foot strap. On balance, this is probably a good thing for most users. I just have my nose up in the air too much! Another minor niggle is that the instructions have you attaching the foot straps backwards from how they should be. You really want the adjustable side of the foot clip, the one with lots of adjustment holes, not the side with just two, on the outside of the pedal. That will be the easiest place to grab the foot clip tabs and adjust the foot clip to your foot or shoe size. After attaching the foot clip, be sure that the square holes on fully adjustable side are parallel to the attachment clip on the pedal. It’s really easy to put them on the incorrect pedal. If the adjustment holes in the foot clips aren’t parallel with the attachment clip on the pedal, the plastic on the foot clip might wear prematurely and they will come off easily when using the machine. That’s probably the weakest point of the instructions, this was simply not made clear and the photographs showing how they attach are incorrect in my view. The only other thing to be careful about is to be sure that your foot is far enough forward in the pedal while using the machine. If you have average size feet, and you have the ball of your foot aligned with the pedal spindle, your heel will hang far enough back that you are likely to clip the rear support of the machine as you pedal. If you aren’t wearing shoes, this could be quite painful. Ask me how I know! The machine comes with a Bluetooth enabled monitor. It displays RPM, calories burned (probably not accurate), and other stats. There are suggest apps for both iPhone and Android phones. I had no trouble setting up my iPhone with the machine, but I haven’t really used the apps yet yet and I am not sure that I will do so for my intended use. But it’s there if you want it. I also discovered when downloading these items from the Apple App Store that there are many other similar apps that work with these kinds of exercise machines. Most, including the recommended apps, have in app purchases so you can have nicer stats or nicer scenery to pedal around. I would say choose whichever one you want as they are all likely to interface well with the machine. I will update this review if I find the machine has problems when I start to use it for rehab. However, I’m expecting this to be a stellar performer. I was offered a rental machine similar to this from the surgeon’s office, but I found that with my insurance, the price would be about the same if I just bought this one off Amazon. I’m expecting it will work just as well as what the surgeon would have gotten for me.

Well made. Sturdy. Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Quiet. Good value. Comes with a wrench-tool for tightening bolts. No other tools are needed. Two AAA batteries are included for the monitor. My wife uses it for leg cycling. I use it for arm cycling, since I broke my foot and want to maintain my cardio health while my foot heals. The foot pedals are also made so they can be easily gripped by hands. I couldn't find that feature on other products. It definitely gives a good workout, depending on which of the 16 levels of tension you select.

First, I have to confess to being an "old" guy with mobility issues. The Yosuda exerciser was purchased in an attempt for me to maintain muscle strength and overall motion capabilities. To that end, it appears the Yosuda exerciser will readily fulfill those tasks. Wasn't sure about using the unit for the arms but turns out it actually works very well for the upper body. The unit arrived with all necessary parts in good condition and was easy to set up. The only struggle was encountered on mounting the pedal straps which are not very flexible. In addition, they fit diagonally on the pedal which made it difficult to get my shoed feet inside and to keep them there even in the max open position. I finally removed them all together, works better. Especially convenient is the handle to move the unit, it's not real heavy and somewhat balanced so it is easy to move, e.g. legs to arm workout, storing, etc. Tension control adjustment is also very easy to reach and provides adequate levels of tension. On the negative side, when using the exerciser, I tend to get my shoe heels caught on the rear bottom tube. I don't think my size 11's are that far from ordinary but find if seated in a conventional chair the arches of my feet have to be placed on the pedals for my heels to clear the tube which feels a bit awkward. The other option is to be seated on a tall stool which serves to increase the foot angle on the pedal which then allows the heel to clear the tube. Wasn't a big problem but a bit odd since using the unit under a desk as advertised for me would be out of the question with my heels catching all the time. Having ironed out the heel catch problem with the stool, I find the Yosuda exerciser to be just what I need overall. The unit comes with a monitor that measures time, speed, distance, etc. At my age and with known limitations I don't really care for that detail and haven't concerned myself with its use. I'm sure that if you need that information, it is all there for you. So, having had some time to use the Yosuda exerciser now overall I find it is an easy and effective way to achieve and maintain the fitness level I want and would recommend the unit.

It’s very good and easy to use. I bought this for my dad to use when he be sitting down for his legs at night time he works on them like 5 to 10 minutes.

This works excellent! You can sit anywhere and use this bike pedal exerciser. It has different levels so you can start out slow and easy, whatever your pace.

this is the 4th piece of equipment ive bought from Yosuda, and they all seem really solid......i get the impression that they are trying hard to make quality, affordable, no frills machines.....its not just a cash grab like other manufacturers edited 12-3-24 ive had it for 2 months.....ive been using it for 2.5 hours a day 5 days a week and i love it....its still solid and ive noticed a huge improvement in my general fitness and energy level....if it breaks tomorrow ill buy a new one edited 1-1-25 3 months and going strong...you dont need a lot of resistance, you dont have to go fast, zero impact, zero discomfort, and virtually zero chance of injury......i dont believe anyone is to far gone to not feel the benefits of this machine....and the benefits are nearly instant....this is NOT exercise....its just a way to easily increase your daily activity level, so you dont have to work your way up like you do on other machines.....just sit and watch TV while your legs are slowly pumping....you will feel very good after your first session....all that blood and oxygen getting into your muscles is a really nice feeling edited 3-31-25 6 months and it is still going strong. i use it for 30 minutes, 5 times a day, 5 days a week. best $100 i ever spent.

Works well. Well made!

No way does this weigh 18 lbs. it’s heavy! I have to drag it in order to move it. Otherwise, it’s quite sturdy and easy to use.

I ordered this mini exercise bike after a car accident that left me with a broken ankle, and I’ve been using it for rehabilitation. Overall, I really like the machine. It’s very easy to assemble, with clear instructions and even a helpful video. Everything you need is included — even the battery, which is a big plus since many products don’t come with one. You can start using it right away. It also comes with a small tool for assembly, resistance bands for arm exercises, and a mat, which I found very convenient. It doesn’t take up much space and works very well. You can track time and speed, and easily adjust the resistance. I did experience an issue where both pedals came loose and detached a few times. However, the customer service was excellent — very responsive, understanding, and quick to offer a replacement. The company truly stays present for their customers even after the purchase. I spoke with Yanna, who was very kind and understanding, and it’s really appreciated when a company remains available and supportive in case of any issue. I would definitely recommend this product, especially because the company stands behind it and provides great customer support.

Excellent exerciser! I injured my leg and could not use an upright bike for physio. Did not have a recumbent bike at home. Searched for a floor pedal exerciser. I have size 12 feet so needed one where my heel would be off the floor when pedalling. This one is perfect! Heavy enough that it does not move around when pedalling. Lots of room for my feet. Magnetic tensioner. Easy to assemble. Yes it costs more than cheaper ones but well worth the money!

Very good product; I use it six times a week. It is very quiet; screen is easy to read and setup just took 5 minutes or so. The resistance levels provide ample opportunity to adjust workout loads on the legs and arms: -seems to be designed for older people or someone recovering from injury. It provides a way of getting in some significant cardio vascular workout

Overall quite satisfied. Pros: -Easy to assemble -lightweight but sturdy -multiple resistance settings for a good simulated ride. Cons: -doesn't fold, must be disassembled or put away as is. -pedals/straps not designed or accommodating for larger feet/shoes (16 ee for me) -pedals can be uncomfortable to use in bare/sock feet

Très facile à assembler. Parfaitement stable lorsque je pédale. L'appareil ne bouge pas. Les courroies des pédales s'ajuste parfaitement (pointure 41) La tension ajustable est efficace. Ultra silencieux.
