YOSUDA Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser – Magnetic Mini Exercise Bike for Arm/Leg Exercise, Desk

Good bike, good price
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.

Pretty good quality and does the job.
I have a spine injury and I need cardiovascular exercise. Many people do not know that it is arm movement and not leg that takes you into cardio heart rhythm .I was looking for an arm bike and ordered it. My HSA paid for it through Amazon which made me happy and it was less expensive.I have been very happy with it. It had no assembly except to snap on the arm bands. Easy peasy!Now I need to get my hub on board lol he needs it too!!The only thing I do not love about it is where the display is… would be better if there were another display lower on the machine but I am going to try using the app with my phone.

Highly Recommend with a Sit/Stand Desk (and yes you can pedal both directions on this one)
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! : )

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.

Please send over the bike once we got the replacement pedal from the support team, which came fairly quickly. And ever since, my mother has been using it faithfully to exercise her knee in preparation for surgery, as well as on the table top to strengthen her upper body. It’s a great little unit, very sturdy and well-made, and the product support team is excellent. The bike is made to last.
