does what it’s supposed to. i made it better when i removed the straps and used a lil wd40 to stop the squeaky noise it started making after 10k rotations. some minor annoying things is that there isn’t a distance counter. and the resistance tensioner doesn’t really work great. i cant get it to have much resistance even at the tightest setting. it’s just easy light pedaling. also it didn’t perfectly sit level on my hard wood floor. it used to have an annoying wobble but i’ve been able to fix this by using electrical tape and wrapping a few of the legs until it was stable and level. but it’s worked well under my desk. i’m glad i’ve been able to get some activity and blood flowing while sitting at my desk for long durations. make sure it’s set up in front of a wall or something to prop up against otherwise it’s going to just pedal away from you. won’t be any good if it’s not able to prop up against something extra sturdy like a wall. it’s the cheapest option on the market and you’re getting what you pay for. it’s not the best but it can be worth it if you make it work like i have.oh and another thing is the pedals have an opening where you can feel the metal washers or clips through the slit of the pedals if you’re using this with no shoes on. it has an uncomfortable feeling that feels like it could cut your feet. i fixed this by wrapping electrical tape around the pedal covering the exposed slits.basically there are a bunch of quirks that you can fix and make better with easy small maintenance and mods.the only thing i can’t do is add a distance counter to the digital display. they should replace count with distance. i want to know what the count conversion rate is. how many rotations is equivalent to 10000 steps.overall with my ability to make it work i find this purchase worth its cheap price. if you’re not willing to do things to make it work then avoid this item. try another option that costs a little more.
