So easy to use. Quiet. Small. Sturdy. Quite heavy, though, so not easy to move. Still, a great way to exercise.

I absolutely LOVE this under desk elliptical! It has been a total game-changer for my daily routine. The quality is impressive—very sturdy, smooth, and quiet, which is perfect for using while working, watching TV, or even on calls without distraction.

Because of health issues, and, let's face it, just plain laziness, I have not exercised much at all in several years. Hip and back problems have not allowed me to do any kind of exercise that involves being on my feet for very long. After a stern warning from my doctor this fall about my excessive weight, I decided to check out non-weight bearing exercises. Then I saw the Cubii commercial on tv. This looked like something I could do - just sit (I'm good at that) and pedal. This machine is a bit pricey and I was afraid like the treadmill and exercise bike that I had owned in the past, that I might not get my money's worth out of it. But I was wrong. This was very easy to assemble. Took only a few minutes. I placed it under my desk at my home office where I work several hours a day. I used a kitchen rug under it more to protect the vinyl floor than to keep the Cubii from moving. This thing is heavy and isn't going anywhere. I like the 'pads' that are included that go under the wheels of office chairs which keeps the chair from rolling around while pedaling. Once I got the positioning of the chair right, I was off and running - or pedaling as the case may be. I was amazed at how very quiet this is. I started on level 1, did that for two weeks, then moved to level 2 for two weeks, and so on. Whenever I felt the tension was starting to get easy I moved up a level. I'm now at level 5. I really feel a difference in the strength and firmness of my muscles in my legs, butt and hips. And if I was sitting up straight (I'm a sloucher) I'd probably feel it in my abs too. And the best thing for me, I have absolutely no back or hip pain from using the Cubii. I find using it not only effortless but mindless which means I'm pedaling without even thinking about it. So on a busy computer day I might get as many as 6,000 steps in (about an hour total). For those that have reviewed this and said it's not really exercise, I disagree. This may not be aerobic exercise (unless you're pedaling really fast) but it's not meant to be. It's meant for people like me who need to ease back into exercise and strengthen muscles we haven't used in a long time so we can get up and do other things. And I definitely know it's working my muscles and burning some calories. Since I started using my Cubii about two and a half months ago, I've lost 15 lbs. Disclaimer... I've also started eating better at the same time which also helped some. When I don't have to concentrate on my work, I have some 1 lb hand weights that I use while pedaling to get some upper body movement and exercise. And at some point, I'm going to try some of the online videos for Cubii exercises that are more aerobic. Overall, I LOVE my Cubii. I have used it every single day since I set it up and I know I will continue to use it every day because its so easy and it makes me feel good about life again.

Honestly I thought I would use the Cubii more. I have it under my computer desk (where I'm always sitting when I'm at home). Had to remove the keyboard tray otherwise my knees would bang against it. That's unfortunate. I don't think it's that heavy, but I don't go moving it around from place to place. It tends to slide a bit but I don't have trouble moving it back to a comfortable position when that happens. I really like the unit. It's easy to use. No noise. The digital menu is simple to move through. I work at night and don't always want to hit the gym after work if I have stuff to do since I work 10 hour shifts. Plus even though I live right across from a nice pedestrian path and a park, the proliferation of dog worship culture means idiots with aggressive or just plain annoying dogs off leash are everywhere. No thanks. Another important issue is I have arthritis in my foot from an old break which can make it hard to walk or use a treadmill if it's acting up. The Cubii is perfect for keeping weight off my foot while getting some exercise. I also haven't been riding my bike anymore due to knee issues (and the aforementioned dogs). The Cubii doesn't affect my knees at all. It's set a perfect angle to keep my knees happy. Can't say I lost any weight. Like I said, I haven't used it as much as expected. I've had it for a month and a half now and have been keeping track. After using it 3 hours the very first day, I tend to average only 1 hour a day. But I've been working a lot of OT and trying to take it easy since everyone at work is getting sick lately with respiratory ailments. But averaging an hour a day is much better than 0 hours. I'm happy with that.

The Cubii has been a godsend. I am a 70 year old, currently residing in an assisted living facility, and cannot walk due to arthritis in both knees and severe edema issues in my left leg from cancer surgery. I have been in therapy for months and have made improvements in standing but still cannot walk. Insurance issues (Medicare could use some improvement) have left me with only one therapy session per week so I had to find some exercise I could use on a daily basis to build strength and endurance. I showed an internet video of the Cubii to my therapist and he thought it would be helpful but had no patients currently using it so he had questions. I took a flyer, bought one, and it has been all the ads say and more. I'll list the benefits and concerns: BENEFITS: Very easy to set up (4 screws, that's it) Sturdy - I am a big guy and worried if it would be flimsy. Not at all - a real quality product Easy to use - I have size 13 shoe and my feet fit easily in the foot pads. Set the resistance level you want ( start with 0 ) and pedal Exercise Benefit - your knees move up and down as you pedal building strength in quads, glutes, and hamstrings along with working your cardio. This was the issue my therapist was most concerned about but he is very high on the Cubii and has recommended it to a few patients since I bought mine. CONCERNS: Cost - $249 may seem like a lot but you pay for quality - well worth it Mobility - there is a handle you can use to pick it, but it is 25 lbs so be aware if that is a problem for you Sliding - I use it on a hardwood floor and if I did not buy the pad as an accessory it would be a problem. With the pad, sliding is not an issue. If you don't have some kind of traction already I recommend buying the pad, but it is another $29. No idea how it would act on carpeting. Overall I am SOLD on the Cubii. When I started I was only able to do sets of 20-25 reps and within 2 weeks (after warming up) am now up to sets of 100-150 reps. No question my legs are stronger. Will It result in my being able to walk again? That remains to be seen, but if I do make it, the Cubii will be a big part of that success.

This exerciser is well made, sturdy, and quiet. I like being able to exercise from the comfort of our couch. I use it during commercials while watching TV. It is heavy enough to stay in place, yet easy to move with the built-in handle. I can set the resistance I want easily by turning a dial.

Super easy to set up. Agree w other reviews that there’s not much variation in resistance levels, but there’s sufficient resistance that this isn’t a concern. Great for under desk, passive exercise while at the computer.

I work from home and needed a no brainer exercise stimulant for my legs and feet that could help with sitting at a desk all day, and wouldn't require a lot of effort. With all the available stay at home virtual exercise videos, I either didn't do it, nor was the costly equipment requiring installation and space, wasn't an option. Researched products that could work sitting at a desk, and the Cubii came up. Read up on it, sounded like something that could work for me. I compared similar products and read reviews. The Cubii seemed like the best option. I like that they had a short video on the product, the company, the workers and the founders. I ordered the Cubii JR1. When it arrived, it was simple to assemble. Just attach the pedals and off you go. Loved that they included a real philips screw driver. The only thing I would agree with other reviews is the highest resistance is 8, and it's not that strong. Other than that, it's quiet, it fits perfectly under my desk. And when my automatic wellness reminder pops up on my work screen, I start pedaling. Throughout my workday, it's a no brainer. I rest my feet on the pedals all day, and automatically pedal throughout my work day. Some reviews complained it was too heavy to move from room to room. It's a solid product, no doubt. And that's a good thing. It doesn't slip since it sits on top of a platform under my desk. I have no problem lifting it. For the most part, I purchased to stay under my desk. When I'm not working, I can still get my workout by sitting at my desk. One other comment, they provided 2 no skid coasters for chairs with wheels. I don't use them. Not sure how it would work considering, whenever you have to get up, I push my chair back. Anyway, haven't tried them. My chair stays put when I pedal. I'd highly recommend this little gem.

Great to use

When it arrived it was very easy to put together and came with its own screwdriver and little feet to put the wheels of your office chair on so you don’t move while you’re using it. Admittedly it is pretty heavy but that is a plus for me as it means the machine stays put while in use. The resistance levels are fine for me as I’m just using it casually while working from home to help manage my lymphoedema. It’s quiet enough that I can use it while I’m in meetings on the lower settings. Good price, does what is expected and feels solid/good quality. Wish I’d bought it ages ago!

Excellent pedalier onctueux a l'utilisation tres esthétique et pratique j'ai eu un petit problème avec le compteur on m'a envoyé un autre tres rapidement je ne peux que saluer le professionnalisme de ce fournisseur et le conseille fortement

I decided to return an Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser mainly because it was defective and went for this Cubii JR1. Maybe the experience seemed even better because of what I experienced with the previous bike. Anyway, everything was perfect, even the polystyrene protection. The screwdriver was by far the best I've ever seen as part of an assembly kit. The assembly took 5 minutes. The unit is heavy and stable enough so that there is no undesired movement while pedaling. I've been pedaling for one hour already while sitting at my desk. The only annoying thing is the Apple watch which doesn't detect my exercise and keeps asking me if I was done. Which leads me to my only regret: I should have bought the Bluetooth version to connect the unit to an app and sync exercise data with my phone and watch.

Fais le job. Modèle de base sans options fancy ( pas de connexion), mais solidement construit et fonctionnel ( marque américaine, plusieurs milliers des vendus). Si j'ai bien compris son successeur est légèrement plus compact et léger, mais ce medele en promo couté presque la moitié de l'autre et pour un usage occasionnel ça suffit largement. Petite critique, le maximum de difficulté qu'on peux régler reste léger.
