Aidapt Folding Portable Low Joint impact Fitness Rehabilitation Pedal Cycle Exerciser with variable Resistance for Leg and Arm Exercises, White

This was recommended by my physiotherapist following a total knee replacement. Helpful device, sturdy and good value for money.

Well made and strong when assembled. Tap to increase resistance works well. Lost a star because they move around and had to purchase nonslip Mat to counter this.

Brought this for my 91 year old mother, she needed to get the strength back in her legs after a bad fall, this has help her so much.

The exerciser turned up swiftly, though was delivered in its own box, held together by sticky tape.The machine was quick easy to assemble, though – as warned – it required strength and effort to tighten the bolts securely. Not a problem for me, but it may be for elderly users or anyone returning to fitness.However, properly assembled, the exerciser is still on the flimsy side. When peddling at even a slow, steady pace, the bolted-on top section (containing the pedals) sways slightly from side to side, because the joint is badly designed. In use, the exerciser also makes a persistent creaking noise, which becomes very irritating.As it is lightweight, the exerciser also moves around a lot in use, so I would recommend something like carpet tape to keep it still. I also found that using the stirrups on the pedals – which will be too small for many feet – worsened the movement problem. Using the flat underside of the pedals instead produced a much better result.One other point: after pedalling for just five minutes, with the top bolt screwed down a little so the pedalling required more effort, the metal bars holding the pedals became extremely hot – kettle hot –through friction. This could be dangerous.Overall, it's usable, and does what it is supposed to, but I have little confidence that it will last for any length of time. It solves slightly more problems than it causes, but only just.

Easy to assemble, light to move, good size and easy to use whilst sitting.

There were NO instructions for assembling it.I eventually worked out what I think is the procedure, but I've obviously not done it right - how can I with no instructions???It doesn't sit flat on the floor, but there doesn't seem to be any other way to attach the legs for it to balance.The nuts to hold the top bit on, are impossible for one person to tighten enough, AND hold the item securely enough to TRY to tighten them. I'd say it needs two people at least, perhaps even three to do it properly. There was no mention of this in the item listing.I live alone, there is nobody to help me,I've given up and am going to throw it away. I hope someone at the supplier is reading this. I've already contacted them asking how to assemble it and they suggested I bought a set off allen keys, which I did, at EXTRA cost, and they are no better than the one I eventually discovered inside the packaging. Another waste of money buying more allen keys.Two of the bolts have a large washer, there is one small washer in the packaging. What is that for??I am unable to tighten the bolts enough to stop the top bit just flopping around not even half tightened.I give up. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.

Easy to put together, quite sturdy. I placed against bedroom wall to use. Great for my physio exercise for my total knee replacement. You can make as hard or easy as you like by tightening the black screw knob on the top.Value for money and would recommend.

well, there is nothing really special about this product, its jsut what it is a simple pedal you can use under the desk.
