StaminaWirk Under Desk Exercise Bike - Fitness Bike with Smart Workout App - Mini Elliptical Under Desk Bike for Home Workout

Bike was very easy to put together. Nice and quiet when peddled. Easy to pedal and do other things at the same time liking it. Will get lots of extra exercise. Just assembled today and really like it.

I have an extremely sedentary job, and the past few years I've struggled with both weight gain and lower back problems. A standing desk doesn't work for me because standing too long hurts my back. So I bought this product hoping to get some exercise at work, and that maybe it would also help keep loosen up my hips and lower back.It's a good product. It's heavy enough that it doesn't slide all over the place, the pedal movement is very smooth, the tension is adjustable, and it makes no noise at all. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to use it quite the way I had hoped. Quite a few of the reviewers said they were able to use it at their desk without bumping their knees on the underside of the desk, so I had hoped I'd be able to just sort of absentmindedly pedal throughout the day while I work. But I'm a 5'6" woman, and even with desk chair adjusted as low as it will go, there isn't enough room under my desk (a traditional wood office desk) to pedal. So I still keep the bike under my desk, but in order to use it, I have to pull it out. So every hour I'm trying to take a short break from working and pedal for a few minutes. It requires me to make a concerted effort and make the time, and of course I'm really bad at motivating myself to do that, which is the main reason I was hoping I could just pedal while working. But it's still a good product and I'm glad I bought it. It just means I'm going to have to be better at self-motivating.For those who do have a slightly taller desk and can actually pedal while working, there is one design feature that leaves room for improvement, and that's the stirrups on the pedals. They are made of a flexible plastic that doesn't hold its shape, so you can't easily slip your feet in and out of them under your desk. You have to bend down and hold them open while you put your feet into them. That's kind of a nitpicky detail, but I mention it only because it might be an issue for someone who is trying to be completely inconspicuous using it at work, or who needs to get up from their desk a lot.

Pedals are too small and straps to short to wrap around my foot and I’m unable to keep my feet from slipping off as I pedal.

I did not ever intend to use under a desk. Before the pandemic my office building had a gym with a recumbent bike and I really enjoyed it because of the lower center of gravity as well as the bench instead of a bicycle seat. This is very sturdy, a little heavy in a good way. I like having the wireless monitor on the table next to me instead of attached to the holder down by the machine, I like the 'rotating' option to see speed, time and calories burned. I did have one issue in assembling the pedals, but I misread the directions. I have been using this machine along with a doctor monitored no sugar/no starch diet and this has really helped with my weight loss progress. Initially the machine did slide a little, but my floors are tile. I bought a rubber mat to put under it and that also works great. If you have carpet it probably will not slide.

Easy to ride.... like it so much my 2 sisters both older than me bought one and we all use it daily

assembles quick couple minutes, easy to use, works great

It kept sliding away from me.

Several years ago, I had something similar to this, but much less expensive. This one's gears are so smooth compared to my previous cheap one. It makes virtually no noise, where my cheaper one made quite a lot of noise. I am extremely pleased with this item. The action is smooth and quiet, and resistance is easy to adjust . I recommend this under desk exercise bike for home and office use.
