Vive Folding Pedal Exerciser - Under Desk Exercise Bike for Seniors, Elderly - Sit Down Stationary Peddler Equipment for Arm, Leg, Hand, Foot - Mini Floor Bicycle with LCD Display, Adjustable Tension

This pedal exerciser works perfectly. All I had to do was screw on the tension wheel and I was good to go. It does sit without moving even on a Berber rug. The feet are rubber and have ribs so they hold to the Berber but would not hold to a smooth rug. Fortunately I was able to move the area rug enough so that it works fine. I don't really use the timer gizmo, I just time it by my watch. I bought it because if have a very bad back and one bad knee and this is perfect. I sit in a recliner with a pillow behind my back or in a club chair or in a straight back dining room chair depending on what I am doing. I haven't done the arm exercise yet but am sure it will be just as good. The tension is excellent. I find it well made, using good materials. I keep it in my living room near my recliner and use for now once a day but will probably move to twice a day soon. Being 81 and having exercised at a gym for 14 years til my back got too bad and my PT told me I could no longer push or pull weights, I have been unable to exercise other than walking and then my back would growl. So I bought a walker and it's too cold right now to go out. So......this inexpensive, well made exerciser is perfect and the price is incredible. I registered it yesterday for the one year warranty. To me this is a good, sturdy piece of equipment. I also do not use the straps, I never have in all the years I used a recumbent bike, they just bother me and my feet hold easily on the pedals of this machine. I cannot remove them however, without cutting one side and that bothers me. Who knows who might want to use it and have the straps. Usually, the straps are able to be removed, I think. Not sure thought since I never used them at the gym and they did not fall to the floor. The right side did get in the way last night so I may just cut them off. No one else will use this exerciser so no reason to be annoyed by them. Folding it up is so easy, pull the ring on each side, done and nicely out of the way. I waited over a week to see how I liked this and should anything occur which is not good, I will edit this review. Oh, my son is going to buy one to use under his desk. I have something else I use there and don't want to pedal while computing.EDIT: I still like this exerciser BUT I have a back problem which this item seems to aggravate and I wake up in the middle of the night with severe leg pain. I am doing 30 to 40 minutes a day so will cut back to maybe 15 and see if that helps. Regardless of this, I still think it is a fine exerciser.EDIT 2: I am unable to use this product at all. It is sitting in my living room....it causes my legs to vibrate while sleeping, for bout five minutes....even if I only use it for 10 minutes every other day....so sad because it is a good piece of equipment. Used barely at all......

Hi. I just received this. I love the color of this. It is teal and uplifting to look at. I have only used this today for the first time. It seems great. You can pretty much use it right out of the box. No assembly. The rotation bars seem slightly wobbly but maybe it needs to be like that. I will ask someone about that. Otherwise I love it. It is so light weight and easy to store. My mom had one previously and I could barely move it around. Hope this was helpful

GREAT. After my mother got a full knee replacement this was the perfect exercise equipment needed for her to strengthen her knee at home. After the surgery she had issues where she could not ride a bike for a while as she could not go all the way around the peddle. This tool was the absolutely most perfect thing for her! Helped her so much! Also, it comes fully assembled in a box where you just need to fold out the legs. It takes up little room, and even folds up to be placed elsewhere during times its not being used. The knob in the middle allows for the resistance to be changed and it even has a timer on it. Great product!

I suppose the quality of this is about right for the price. However the 1st one I received had a tension screw that did not work at all, so I returned it to Amazon and re-ordered. The 2nd one arrived yesterday. The tension screw does work on this one, although I'm guessing it will not work for long, due to the way it is designed and constructed.As far as using it is concerned, again quality and price! It does go round and round, however unevenly, so it is jerky pedaling. It must be placed against a wall or furniture to keep it from moving around (even on carpet!).It works well as an arm exerciser, when propped against something.The jury is still out for me on this item. I will try it a few more days and see if it is worth keeping --I am saving the box in case it needs to be returned.

Well, it arrived damaged. The small monitor that calculates calories & miles, was broken.The glue had fallen off of where it was attached. I am returning it & reordering another one. I love this product. Works very well& is very easy to use. I use it when I am watching tv.

I purchased this to use under my desk at work. It works really well. It's light weight so it's easy to move around. I like the information that's displayed on the screen, and the fact that the resistance can be changed easily. Using this has definitely been a good workout for my legs. It's also ideal to use in an office setting because it's not loud at all. I use this while on phone calls or checking emails and people don't notice. I would definitely reccomend this for people who are healing from leg related injuries or surgeries, as well as people who work in jobs where you're sitting a lot and are wanting to exercise more. My only complaint is that it does slide on certain floors, but that's easily fixed by propping something next to it so it can't slide away from you while peddling.

This is really great for keeping active while working at the desk all day, but after using it for the first time for a half hour, the exposed metal arms that connect the pedal to the machine get VERY hot from friction. I accidentally burned my ankle while pulling my foot out. Luckily it wasn't a bad burn, but it is concerning. If you're going to get this, wear some thick socks and let it sit after using it for a bit

We ordered this for my husband who had total knee replacement. He has a bike but thought this device might be more comfortable. While it is it doesn’t do as while as the stationary bike. I’ve used it a few times and like it but had a problem keeping it in place. It probably is not something we will use long term

You will have to put something under to keep it from moving. I wouldn't buy it again. it seems almost to low to use from a chair

Cher pour ce que c’est. De faible qualité. La jonction des pédales est déformée lorsqu’on serre pour ajouter une résistance prévue à l’exerciseur. Je ne recommande pas du tout. Très déçue.
