About the Product
Get healthy exercise while you’re working, watching TV or just relaxing on your couch. The DeskCycle is an under desk bike that uses magnetic resistance to give you a smooth, quiet workout. Its 10-inch pedal height makes it possible to use it with desks as low as 27 inches.
The DeskCycle-2 is the same top quality bike as the DeskCycle with the addition of the adjustable leg. Set the maximum pedal height to 10 inches like the DeskCycle, or drop it down to 9 inches to give you more desk clearance. Use at work or home - Use while on your phone, watching TV, playing video games or any time you're sitting still and your legs are free. It's great for general exercise and physical therapy.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
DeskCycle Desk Exercise Bike Pedal Exerciser, White
- I have been able to up the resistance and I notice that my quads are looking great! I’ve switched to pedaling backwards to help my hamstrings and I feel those developing so much as well.
- I can do a slow, steady ride: 20mph at resistance 2 or 3, or I can do a high intensity (HIIT) workout: 30mph at resistance 3 or 4. (when I do the HIIT, I get a good sweat going)
- It's quiet, it has good resistance, and the read out monitor is a nice feature.
- No noise, lots of variable resistance at 8 different levels, there's even a timer and speedometer with a long chord attachment that you set on your desk.
- This one is so quiet, and offers a range of resistance levels. I've gained great tone in my legs and butt since using this and my man loves it!
DeskCycle 2 Under Desk Exercise Bike and Pedal Exerciser
- I did like the magnetic braking system -- that's a really nice design idea, delivering silent friction over a continuous scale.
- Cycling for 5 hours on a resistance of 2 will burn anywhere from 300-600 calories depending on your weight. Nice resistance range!
- It has a wide range of tensions you can set to get more or less resistance.
- Testing it out it is extremely quiet, and provides plenty of resistance.
- I have it on resistance 4, and I feel it's a pretty hard resistance, so the fact that it goes up to 8 is very nice. I'm 5'7" and have a pretty high desk, so it works out very well in the space.

What customers say about "Design"
DeskCycle Desk Exercise Bike Pedal Exerciser, White
- Easy and quick to assemble (it took me less than 30 minutes).
- Sturdy pedal straps, straps are permanently attached to the pedal and are adjusted via velcro.
- Easy to set up - 5 minutes, which consists of screwing front and back bases to the body, then screwing in petals).
- Comfortable - I have an upright stationary bike (what can I say, I like biking), but the stationary seat is very uncomfortable. Using the desk cycle is comfortable, because you’re sitting in your own desk chair.
- Extremely quiet, easy to set up, very comfortable, so happy!!
DeskCycle 2 Under Desk Exercise Bike and Pedal Exerciser
- It’s easy to put together, quiet, consistent, easy to store, and wonderful to use.
- Easy to adjust, DeskCycle2 really good device, much convinient than previous model.
- I use it for maybe 5 miles a day and it pedals really smooth. Pedal straps makes my exercises very comfortable.
- The strap is handy for any extended peddling, recommended!
- Its was easy to adjust! Quiet and good quality, perfect size of pedal straps for me!

What customers say about "Features"
DeskCycle Desk Exercise Bike Pedal Exerciser, White
- LCD monitor is removable and can be extended to be placed on top of a desk for display.
- This is absolutely SILENT and it will literally be a deal breaker on accepting any future jobs if I can’t have this at my desk.
- Really well built and totally silent. Highly recommended!
- Quiet - there is a slight noise, which could probably be heard if you were on a call, but it’s not loud (more like white noise), and you can make it quiet by pedaling slower.
- Not really sure what the LCD units of measurement are, it's not super clear.
DeskCycle 2 Under Desk Exercise Bike and Pedal Exerciser
- I did pay the $10 more for the Deskcycle 2 because it is one inch lower and I'm glad I did.
- I love that I can put the electronic display/tracker on my desk so I can see my progress and it doesn't reset the distance/time/calories until I do it manually so it keeps track all day without losing data.
- I am not disappointed. It is VERY quite. Not a single annoying squeak.
- It makes a horrible loud clicking/adjusting noise on the up pedal, and a clacking noise on the down. My coworkers hate me!
- The display is also faulty (it only displays part of each number), a problem that came up within maybe five minutes of use.
