 A great purchase for so many reasons. January 7, 2008

My Dad had a stroke about 8 months ago and lost movement on his right side. I hoped that this machine might help him in his recovery. At first I could not understand the use of a machine that actually does the pedaling for you. I thought the motor would provide resistance and was disappointed when I set it up. I couldn't have been more wrong. My Father needed the help the motor provides. He only had one good leg. As soon as I turned it on for him he smiled. He loves it.
The most important feature turned out to be the dial that controls the speed. This provides almost infinite (so it seems) speeds. The digital ones can't do that. When he first started he needed the slower speeds that only this dial could provide.
This machine has performed flawlessly, it has been used almost every day for 2 months with no problems. The timer is a great feature, the machine shuts off when it reaches 0.
Minor Issues
1) We removed the calorie counter as it gets in the way and kept falling off. It wasn't needed anyway.
2) The blue plastic feet are not secured to the legs and tend to spin when moving it around. Secure the blue feet and it would be a perfect machine.
My Dad's trainer checked it out before he started using it.

I bought this pedal exerciser for my mother to help her rehab after a stroke. Medicare and regular insurance only pays so for much rehab (surprise surprise), so I decided we needed to pick up the ball after they dropped it).
She has very limited use of her left shoulder, arm, hand and fingers.
There are non-motorized and there are motorized models. I decided that motorized was needed. I believed if her right arm (her good arm) fatigued too early from trying to pedal the non-motorized models, her left arm would not get the time needed to rehab. My idea was to wake-up the left arm and to get it moving was the best way.
I decided on this motorized model as it was less expensive than the other motorized models out there. I was keeping my fingers crossed.
A small note here.. this model does not have the REVERSE motion as some of the expensive models , BUT this is easily remedied by going to the other side of the small table she has it on, and using it from the back end. This way of using it will give her the reverse motion, so her shoulders and arms get the exercise in a different range of motion.
I had her start on a slower speed with 2 -5 minute sessions. One in the morning and one at night. I slowly increased her time over 4 weeks.
She is currently up to 20 minutes.
In just a few weeks she has already noticed a small difference in her grip strength. In the beginning her left hand would slip off the pedal quite frequently. Now, it seems to stay on the entire 10-20 minutes she is using it. Although this is a small change, every little improvement is welcomed. Hopefully more changes will begin. It certainly is worth trying.
At the same time her right arm is also getting a workout.
The model seems strong. No problems.

I purchased this item for my mother who has Parkinson's disease. As a result of her Parkinson's, her mobility is extremely poor. This motorized exercise bicycle, helps her to move her legs, to aid in the circulation of blood as well as keeping her muscles fit. It also helps her mentally to feel that she still can have some consistant movement. I highly recommend this product for anyone with mobility problems.

The fully automatic pedal exercise machine is awesome. Purchased for mother who had severe stroke and unable to walk or stand on her own. She feels like she is actually doing something on her own. Machine is very sturdy and the foot pedals hold her feet securely.
