Under Desk Bike with 16-Level Magnetic Resistance & Bluetooth App

Super easy to put together. Lightweight enough to be pretty portable. Very quiet so doesn't disturb while watching tv. Like the bonus tension straps but the built in attachment could be spaced a little further out - straps are catching on pedal. Has a lot of features to make it fit your need and be effective. Seems to be well made and should hold up. Particularly like that you can watch your progress in time, etc. Also that if you're just interested in time spent - you can just watch whichever benchmark you're interested in. Overall a nice machine.

Paired this with an inexpensive sit/stand desk (this one: https://amzn.to/3P4YCeR) and it's a great combo. The desk keeps a laptop or a book stable for use, and you can pedal away for far longer than you think you will for a bonus exercise/health/circulation benefit. Plus, some studies suggest that learning/working while exercising boosts memory retention, so there's that benefit as well! As for the Yosuda pedaller... great little unit. Quiet, smooth, easy to use, easy to assemble. The handle on top makes it really convenient to move around. I have found it very stable on carpet. Have not tested it on other surfaces. PRO TIP(s): to improve stability and prevent slippage you can do 2 extra things: first: if you have an adjustable height chair, ensure the angle of your legs to the pedals is closer to 45 degrees or more, rather than parallel to the ground. That extra downward pressure will help increase resistance/friction with the floor. Second: I found that by adding a thin non-slip mat (like this https://amzn.to/4bU76zg ) under it added to the stability. Overall, I found the unit far more stable than some other reviews had me anticipating. Bottom Line: whether it's for helping old joints, improving circulation, or burning a few extra calories, this is a great little unit to get! Crank up "Born to Be Wild" or "I can't Drive 55" on the stereo and start pedalling! : )

Good product but could use some more features! It works well when I’m sitting on my couch watching tv! It also has a wide resistance difficulty and is built sturdy and balanced well.

I'm riding the bike while I write this. So a few things I don't think other reviews have mentioned. The pedal arm/crank length is pretty short at 3 inches. It's going to limit your range of motion. I guess it isn't a big deal unless you're coming from another exercise bike with a larger range of motion. I had the ExerWorK 1000 bike (it's a full bike with a platform for a laptop) with 6 inches for it's pedal crank length. Normal road bikes range from 5.3" to 6.8" for their crank length. Just something to keep in mind. I'll attach a photo for comparison. (This is the Yosuda YBM-2 I'm reviewing. I'm a little curious if the YBM-1 has cranks longer or the same as the cranks seem a little more elevated off the ground compared to this one.) Yes, you'll probably need a standing desk and make it go up another 4 to 6 inches than what you're used to when sitting. The good news is that standing desks are very cheap and lightweight nowadays. I got a 48" x 24" one off of Amazon for less than this bike. It's been great. Another thing to consider is if your desk is against a wall. I'm kinda a foot or two away from my desk right now while pedaling. I'm doing it more of a recumbent style where your legs are kinda in front of you. Now I could get right up on top of this floor bike and right next to my desk, but that doesn't feel good on my knees as it's more of an up and down motion. I wish my desk was off the wall so I could pedal right next to my desk while keeping my legs pretty much straight in this recumbent pattern. Maybe I'll move my desk off the wall for that reason. Or maybe put it on sliders, I don't know. Speaking of knees, I've tried those under desk ellipticals but got knees pain when I used them. This floor bike, however, has been pretty much no knee pain as long as I keep my legs more or less straight as mentioned above. So far it's great. It's way more enjoyable and easier to use than my Exerpeutic ExerWorK 1000 bike. That thing was heavy, took up a ton of room, was awkward to get on, uncomfortable on my butt after 10 minutes, and limited me to my laptop computer. This under desk bike is fun, lightweight, easy to get on, comfortable to ride (been using it on and off for like an hour now), and it lets me use my desktop computer while on it. The only real con or possible improvement I could think of would be to let you fold the legs in and the pedals up to where it could take up less room. But maybe I'm being too nitpicky at this point as I could see myself getting annoyed at unfolding with time if it had that feature. That and maybe having it a little lighter. 20 pounds is heavy enough where I can't easily toss it away when done. I think 10 pounds is plenty of weight to keep it stable and would be the perfect weigh to let me easily move it when done.

I've owned a bunch of under desk bikes, but I had specific needs when I bought the YOSUDA Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser - I wanted a heavier magnetic pedaler with the cranks as close to the front as possible so when pedaling with my arms, I wouldn't have to reach forward. Judging by the videos and pics, this was it. The YOSUDA has a little rubbing noise - probably the belt - but it's still so quiet that it doesn't wake up my husband in the next room, and it doesn't affect the pedaling motion, which is super smooth. I've owned the MagneTrainer and the DeskCycle, and they're both silent and smooth, but for my arms the YOSUDA has a good crank rotation (8" compared to 10" with the MagneTrainer), and the pedals are much closer to the front than the DeskCycle. The DeskCycle and MagneTrainer are better built than this bike, but it's fine, and I love the handle. I've owned several $50 and under bikes, but there were universally louder and much less smooth than the YOSUDA. I found the YOSUDA is also good for pedaling using your feet - it sticks to the floor pretty well when used at low resistance, and the pedaling is smooth. If you turn up the resistance, you may have to put it on a rubber mat to keep in in place, but at lower resistance, it stays where you put it. My only issue about this is that the display is impossible to read in lower light. Since I use it in lower light, and don't care about the metrics, I just use the stop watch function on my phone to keep track of my time. The YOSUDA Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser is pretty much what I expected from the description, the pics and the reviews. Mine has a little rubbing noise when I use it, which I wasn't expecting, but it's super quiet and otherwise IMO this is a very good pedaler for feet and arms. I got it for $125, and it's often on sale for that price or a little less, and for what I paid, I'm giving it back the star I removed for the soft rubbing noise and hard-to-see display, putting it back up to 5 stars. If it was $200 or more, I'd give it 4 stars, but it's a good bike with forward pedals, quiet and smooth operation at a reasonable price, so it gets 5 stars from me.

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.

UNACCEPTABLE DESMy unit, fortunately did not have a single issue similar to hundreds of other people. However; when attempting to use the unit, my sneakers couldn’t make a full revolution without coming in direct contact with the rear support. If you place the machine very close to your body, your legs are in a more upright position, and you can consciously make the effort to keep your feet horizontal and flat; this way they don’t come into contact. But if you are like me and purchase this for physical therapy purposes, my knee replacement simply won’t allow the machine to get anywhere close to my body. It must be further away due to the lack of mobility of my knee. When in this position, your feet are going to be slightly more vertical and they’re in lies the problem. The only way I can make it work at my specified distance is to use the unit without only wearing socks. The machine worked as described and all the features were evident and useful. My dilemma is; do I keep this machine that I paid over $100 for but must compromise on its core use? And this is after returning a $50 mechanical one that they used in the physical therapy office. It worked fine, but was simply too clunky. I can try another machine, but none of the descriptions addressed the issue of “too short of a distance to allow sneakers to make a complete rotation“

I bought this to use for arm-based cardio when I had foot surgery and couldn't walk for two months. I strapped it to a desk (to make sure it wouldn't move) and used it for at least an hour a day. Assembly was easy, the usage was smooth and predictable, and I couldn't have been happier with it. After two years, it started making a loud clanging noise between 27-30 RPM - not at other speeds, though - but it held up very well until then over hundreds of hours of use, and I feel it was well worth the money. In fact, I bought the exact same thing as a replacement because I loved it so much.

This is a solid well built indoor exercise machine. We use it daily in the winter time and haven’t had any problems with it. At first I found that it slid along the floor when pedaling but now I position it against a step and it works well. We’re very satisfied with it!

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!

This under desk bike pedal exerciser have a high-quality samarium cobalt magnet that provides ample load for smoother, quieter pedaling. You can focus on your work easily. It is compact and easy to storage and doesn’t take too much of space. Suitable for ppl who don’t have time and are not motive enough to go for running. You can exercise efficiently while working. It has 8 adjustable stages.

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.

I love this little cycle! Great price and features. Easy to attach the items that simply made it easier to package. As a senior, I don’t find it too heavy to carry. I did a lot of online research before I ordered it - seeing all the positive reviews made all the difference. It lives up to all the 5 stars.
