Ratings & Reviews for Stamina Mini Friction Hand cycle Exercise Bike

Stamina Mini

I received a replacement because I thought there was something wrong with the tension control. The replacement is the same way. I don't feel there is any range. The only way I get tension is if it is screwed ALL the way in. I have been using it - it's better than nothing.

It has given me no excuses to sit still

This works great on carpet. On my hard flooring, however, it tends to slide away easily. I put it on a rubber-backed mat and it works great.

Awesome Features

I bought this item 3 months ago. It is a great buy if you do not have a lot of space.

I Love It

This is a great compact exercise bike. I can sit in a chair and pedal while I watch TV. It stores away easily after I finish.

Somewhat disappointed with the product

While the product was easy to assemble and works smoothly, it is hard to keep the product stable. It keeps walking away and will not stay in place. Also I thought there would be more resistance. With the resistance dial tightened as far as possible, there was not in my opinion enough resistance for a good workout.

well built

My wife uses it after knee replacement to get joint movement. Is pleased with the size, motion and simplicity of the machine. It would not work as an exercise bike to offer a lot of resistance.

Low Impact Way to Exercise

I have been using this everyday for several weeks. It's a great way to exercise my legs without putting strain on my back. It is very convenient to be able to watch TV or read a book, etc, while getting some exercise and movement.

Great for rehab

Received as a Christmas gift to help with recovery from ankle surgery. Convenient to keep by chair to use when watching TV.

Great little excercisor!

My son bought this for me for Christmas at my request. I just started using it as I had to get a proper chair, a straight back metal chair & then something for the floor as it slips. I got a bath mat to prevent slipping. Overall, I am happy with it.

Great little exerciser

This small exerciser does exactly what it is advertised to do. It was easy to assemble, and is very portable. I would pay a little bit extra to have a backlit timer and a couple of lines on the resistance knob to make it easier to gauge the resistance.

Good features

I’m a senior and this is good excercise since I can no longer risk riding a bike. I wish it hugged the floor a little more, but it’s easy to use.

Great Exercise Bike

I got this for Christmas and use it to exercise my legs. It's easy to use.

Love the product

I bought this after knee surgery and it is a wonderful product . I get the stretch I need but with out the added pressure . love it.

greatest birthday gift never

I was given this as a birthday gift after revealing I was experiencing numbness in my leg. I assembled it myself just a few screws. I began using it almost daily and within a month I could tell the difference my muscle tone. I am a senior and it is great.
