Genuine Magnetrainer ER (Extended Range) Mini Exercise Bike

This bicycle exerciser has been good for exercising my new knee. Recovering from a knee replacement is difficult but this really helps build strength and stamina.

Purchased this for my hubby's 68th birthday. He usually does a 4-5 mile walk outdoors every day. The summer in Vegas is just too warm for him now, so he didn't walk as often. Now with winter approaching, he won't walk outdoors. Saw this mini bike and thought it would be perfect. Well, he absolutely loves it. Finally a gift he loves! Uses this mini bike every morning. Its compact enough to move anywhere he likes and the best is its easy to use.
Thanks to all who previously bought and reviewed this item, it helped with my decision.

Easy to use but provides a good workout for your legs.
Stores easily under a bed or in a closet.

"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.
