Very good thing if you don't have enough space to keep one because it is very sleek and light.

"After reading customer feedback on this mini-bike I ordered one and absolutely love it. Doesn't take up too much space and is a joy to use. My brother saw it and ordered one for himself. Both of us highly recommend the MagneTrainer to anyone interested in an exercise bike."

I purchased this bike to help me during recovery from ACL (knee reconstruction) surgery. I knew within the first 5 minutes that I had made the right decision. The machine is obviously of good quality. It glides smoothly whether pedaling in forward or reverse, and it makes almost NO noise whatsoever. It appears sturdy and stable. Assembly was a breeze. The digital display is large enough to be easily read without having to lean forward and squint. You can track your stats cumulatively over a day/week, etc, or reset it to zero each time you use it. I put this machine in front of the couch, shove a pillow behind my back, and I'm off. It comes with a velcro strap to secure it to a chair leg, but I just put it on top of a rubberized bathroom mat and it doesn't slide at all. I haven't cranked up the resistance yet, but even at zero I can tell it is going to be very helpful in keeping my knee mobile. If you're looking for a heart-pounding, thigh-burning Tour-De-France type workout, this is probably not what you want. (Well, I don't know for sure, since I haven't upped the resistance yet). If you're looking for a gentle, no-impact way to keep your muscles and joints moving, then I highly recommend this product. I know this isn't the cheapest mini-bike out there, but if you prefer quality then this is the right choice. I suspect this bike will still be humming along after the cheaper models have rusted and seized.

Very sturdy, very reliable and the fact that you can adjust the tension makes it well worth while. Highly recommended for someone with limited mobility or in a small apartment.

Purchased bike for rehab of 87 year old mother after her fall, and it works well. It's heavier than other mini bikes, but still may need to be anchored with enclosed velcro strap or a heavy object. The home health PT liked it so much, she purchased one to take with her to her other clients. It's quiet and made very well. If you are an avid biker and you're looking to keep in shape, this may be what you need; but for rehab, it's great!

My wife really loves this excercise bike, she can sit in her chair and excercise her legs. It appears to be well built and was promptly delivered.
