I am disabled with Parkinson's disease and the ACTIVcycle provides the assisted exercise I need. I do 2+ hours a day on it. I recommend it highly to anyone who is physically disabled.
The machine was purchased for my husband who is undergoing Chemo. He gets so tired and week from treatments he will loose his balance. After using this machine he is able to maintain his balance and has more energy. The machine does all the work so he is not burning calories but his muscles are working out! The mat that comes with this machine holds it in place and does not slip as others did. I would recommend this to all who have any muscle problems or experience weakness in their legs or arms. I also have used this machine for his arms and that too worked wonders on his arms, shoulders and strengthened his breathing. You can NOT go wrong purchasing this machine!
Had to buy a little 240v transformer, but I knew this. Good machine, can exercise my replacement knee and knee awaiting replacement without my weight on them. Exercise has helped the circulation in my legs which was a big problem with water retention. Much better than going to the gym as no problem of getting ready is involved and 2 short sessions a day are better for the circulation than one big session once a week. Highly recommended.
although we haven't used this a lot as yet because the holidays seemed to get in the way of the exercise we do believe that it is perfect for anyone that has trouble using a pedal bike for exercise. With the remote control and speed control at your fingertips even someone with infirmities can use it. It will strengthen the legs quickly.
I am really pleased with the quality, it arrived promptly and I am enjoying the movement it is givng my legs as I am in a wheelchair and was starting to stiffen up. I have been using the machine for a couple opf weeks now and there is no problems.
Difficult to position correctly. It tips easily. Not effective at all to build strength. Might be ok for the frail or elderly, but not effective for anyone with moderate disability who already has moderate strength, but needs to keep legs from atrophying. Tips over easily. Not enough resistance to build muscle.
I bought this for my mom who has Parkinson's. It has been a great way for her to keep bicycling and also get an upper body workout. Going to the gym and getting on a bicycle has not been easy, and this allows her to exercise in her favorite chair at home.
I'm not yet convinced that an electronic pedal exerciser is necessary but at the time I ordered this product it seemed like a good idea to help me regain flexion after knee surgery. Having said that, I like the Pedal Exerciser. Does what you need it to do; seems solidly made. No complaints.
When I got the product out of the box and tried to pedal it wouldn't work.. Nothing at all worked. It was a piece of junk. Fortunately i was able to return it for a full refund including express shipping from overstock. com.
Worked really well for my mother-in-law to execrise her knee after the joint replacement surgery. Also works for shoulders and arms. Not very good for burning caloires as it doesn't require much effort, but good for improving joint mobility.
