Pros & Cons
Cons
The right pedal keeps coming off and is impossible to replace. You need to be to bend over fully to tighten or fasten the velcro. This parts are not replaceable nor covered by warranty.
Highlights
Quality
Fitted together well, a good quality piece of kit.
This is a great sturdy product that is quiet and smooth to pedal.
Within a couple of months the thing had broken and was thrown away.
A couple of anti inflammatory tablets at the first sign nip it in the bud and i’m usually back within 3 days, max.
Price
Whatever you do though, don't waste money on a cheap friction based design!
So despite the cost it feels like a worthy investment to have something that will last me a while.
I’m really gonna give this a go and it is possible that it will justify the high purchase price.
Shipping
Get delivery service, prompt next day delivery.
Packaging/appearance
Product was well packed in original box but it was obvious what the item was, would have been better in an unmarked package.
They don't pack away easily for storage, so unless you have considered a home for it it might become a white elephant.
Competitiveness
I looked at all the reviews for the desk cycle2 and all were excellent so instead of buying another cheap bike i went for this.
It's certainly not worth considering the other lightweight options as they just don't work or stay in place.
Having tried another cheaper brand which i returned, i bought this item.
Very importantly it seems a bit lower profile than most others on the market which means that it’s easier to use while sitting at a desk.

I am pretty sceptical of under desk bikes as every one i have tried previously has been pretty terrible both due to my height 6f 2 and the resistance levels being very poor

But make sure your desk is tall enough and that your chair has adjustable height or you might bump your knees under the desk and not be able to use it

With age and experience you will probably already know that excercise equipment often gradually stays longer and longer in storage because 1 it has too much of a footprint
