FITODO Magnetic Exercise Bike Stationary Pedal Exerciser Smooth and Quiet with Multifunctional LCD Monitor

I was looking at the different types of mini exercise bikes, at first glance you'd be hard pushed to wonder why some are £30, while others such as the branded "DeskCycle" are as high £170. This is mainly due to the magnetic resistance, which makes the motion smooth and silent, and doesn't rely on simply friction (which all of the cheaper models use).The "DeskCycle" doesn't do anything better than this one and is outrageously overpriced, they both use the same technology and are very similarly built.I cannot recommend this enough for the price, providing it holds up in the future.

I paid a bit more for this exerciser as it had a lower profile than others of a similar type so that I could slide it under my chair when not in use, unfortunately I miscalculated and it doesn't quite go entirely underneath, but not to worry, that's my fault. It is a well built item and feels strong and stable, it built up without any problem and I used it as soon as it was built. It has a nice smooth action with a variable resistance and is quiet in use, better than the cheaper belt resistance types which usually have a hissy whizzy noise when in use. There is a computerized display, use that as you will, I just look at my clock and time myself and tend not to take notice of the display, but the option is there if you want it. All in all it is a nice piece of kit and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who asked.

I had high hopes for this bike based on the positive reviews. It arrived at my workplace and I was able to assemble it fairly quickly - pictorial instructions would've been nice, but figured it out. The display bean didn't fit easily onto the metal prong, which seemed to be too large, and took some force to get it to attach correctly. I noticed the machine was a little scuffed in places and parts of the casing didn't quite line up - it was also a light lilac colour, not white as advertised, but I wasn't too bothered about cosmetic aspects, as long as it worked.Initially, it was whisper-silent as advertised, however about 5k into my first session it developed a loud repetitive mechanical clunk - almost as if ungreased parts were colliding or rubbing. I checked the pedals were correctly connected (they were) - the noise seemed to be coming from inside the machine. As by design they can't be disassembled and have internal bearings, this seems both anti-repair (I can't fix something I can't see) and poorly designed, if it can fail so quickly. In hindsight I wonder if I got sent someone else's returned item, given the cosmetic defects and the internal fault. I tried it on various different resistances but I couldn't get rid of the noise, and I was beginning to feel the simmering rage of my colleagues nearby so I had to stop.Unfortunately the loud noise makes it completely unsuitable for office use, so I've had to return it - a real shame. I hope I just got a faulty unit and they're not all like that, as the 'silent operation' was the main selling point for me.It gets 2 stars rather than 1 as I liked the design of the pedals and found them comfortable and easy to operate.

Bought this for my wife after current mini exercise cycle the one with the big flywheel began to make a noise after around two years. After less than a month this one started to make a clonking noise so have had to return it. Very disappointing.

This is a very good exercise bike, the smooth action mirroring the traditional upright bikes. I bought it to exercise the upper body. I have had two knee joint replacements and, at present, am unable to use the traditional bike although, no doubt, in time this will be possible. I bought it with a view to keeping fit by operating it by hand. The one reservation I have, therefore, is that it doesn’t include ‘hand grip’ alternatives as the pedals are cumbersome for hand operation. I have given this 5 stars but my individual requirements mean that it should, more properly be 4 1/2.

As I am now partially sighted, my wife assembled the mini bike and had to puzzle out what went where as instructions not exactly clear. Once done, the wee thing is not exactly light weight but now sits under our kitchen table. Must be pulled out to cycle otherwise my knees hit the table. But as our floor has a smooth surface, this is not difficult. Disadvantage is that smooth floor let's bike slide away. If you cycle at a steep angle I.e. with the bike close to your chair, it tends not slide.Being partially sighted, the small display is of little use. Pity there isn't a model without display. I only want to compete against me to rebuild lost muscle power and density. It is quiet with only a minor rubbing on the left pedal. Probably a poorly fitted bearing. Cycles just as well forward as back the way but not sure if that's of benefit. I don't use pedal loops as they are too tricky to get my feet in. May just cut them off. But in the end a good buy as it does what I wanted it to do but i would say it's too heavy to lifteasily onto table for arm exercise!

Bought for my wife after she suffered a broken hip. Needed to build up her strength and muscle power. She can't ride a bicycle and we don't have a lot of room for a full exercise bike - so this is ideal. It's well made and has a solid feel - but it's a bit heavy (but manageable). Easy to assemble - just bolting on the legs. Most difficult part was fitting the shoe straps!

I wanted to gives this a try due to multiple surgeries cause my sports - Running Mainly and as i still have left over pain the only way i find this comfortbale to do is when I'm lying on the floor and i place it against the wall. I still have a lot of glute pain and sitting for too long is still hard to do...overall for the 1st week its been good , will see hopefully in a months time where i will be

Sinceramente non sono in grado di valutare la bontà dell'articolo perché non ho avuto modo di poterlo provare, per tanto descrivo solo quello che ho potuto realmente toccare con mano:Imballo:A dir poco pessimo: uno scatolone tutto schiacciato e danneggiato in alcuni punti. Il polistirolo, che avrebbe dovuro proteggere e mantenere ferma la cyclette, era completamente distrutto.Cyclette:rotta e mal assemblata in alcuni punti. La scocca trasparente che permette di vedere il volano interno è visibilmente danneggiata e staccata dal resto del corpo.Nello scatolone credo di aver trovato i pedali impacchettati molto alla buona. Dico "credo" perché non ho avuto il coraggio di aprirli.Il manuale di istruzioni si presenta stropicciato e bucato in alcuni punti.All'appello manca una rondella.Del monitor non posso dire nulla perché mi è bastato quanto appena scritto per non approfondire ulteriormente la cosa.Ora, dal momento che il pacco era malconcio e il polistrirolo di protezione distrutto, mi viene da pensare che la mia povera Cyclette sia stata particolarmente maltrattata in fase di trasporto.Ovviamente ho richiesto la restituzione e il rimborso.Valuterò se tentare la fortuna andando a prenderne un'altra oppure optare per un altro articolo.AGGIORNAMENTO 16/07/2018Alla fine ho deciso di prendere una seconda cyclette (sulla quale sto pedalando proprio in questo momento) e devo dire che non è poi così male.. ovvio, non è di certo un prodotto da 299 euro scontato a 99.. diciamo che 99 potrebbe essere il giusto prezzo.Ha solo due difetti, uno dei quali abbastanza scocciante:-1: il basamento non è perfettamente in piano e infatti traballa quandola si usa. Risolto posizionando uno spessore sotto al piedino-2: non funziona il lettore della velocità/calorie bruciate/distanza/ecc... lo schermo segna perennemente zero in tutto. Ho pensato potesse essere un problema di batterie scariche, ma anche cambiandole più volte la situazione non cambiava. Va bene che l'importante è pedalare, ma questo difetto lo trovo particolarmente scocciante.Eccetto questi due problemi non ho molto altro da dire.. la cyclette è silenziosa e si pedala bene. Assemblarla è semplice anche grazie alle istruzioni molto chiare (peccato che nella confezione mancasse la chiave per montarla costringendomi quindi a scavare tra i meandri della cantina per riuscire a riesumarne una delle mie..)Ora, dal momento che ho già dovuto mandarla indietro una volta, non ho proprio voglia di ricominciare di nuovo tutto il traffico per restituirlo...Per concludere, se decidete di prendere una minicyclette giusto per togliervi uno sfizio senza spendere tanto, questa va più che bene. Se invece volete qualcosa di serio cercate altrove, perché la qualità è tutta un'altra cosa.4 STELLE!Ma solo perché sono buono e il venditore si è interessato di tutta la vicenda scusandosi per i vari intoppi.AGGIORNAMENTO 17/07/2018"Se si chiude una porta si apre un portone"... è proprio vero, dopo una serata passata a pedalare il pedalino sinistro ha cominciato a ballare e a "scattare" (il che non mi rende affatto fiducioso per il futuro) ma in compenso lo schermo a preso a funzionare :DLa situazione è quasi comica: ogni giorno ne salta fuori una nuova.4 stelle mi sembrano comunque molto generose... diciamo che 3 e una gambetta sarebbe una valutazione decisamente più appropriata.PS: la scocca bianca si è leggermente aperta nella parte posteriore.

És el segon que compro. El primer encara està en pefecte ús. Un aparell útil, durador i amb molt bon funcionament.No en conec d'altres (un se molt simple que es va trencar deseguida) de la mateixa gama ni hi tinc coneixement, però aquest va perfectament.

Not happy with this product. Heats up when you use it. Slips easily when using. Just hard to use.

Gets pretty hot while using it

Arm exercise. Works great

Easy to use

un auxiliario perfecto !
