Product Description
Sit in a comfortable chair and get an excellent leg workout. Use it while watching TV, reading a book or on the phone. Use it at work or home. Place the bike on a table top and pedal with your hands to strengthen your arms and shoulders. We use a patented adjustable magnetic resistance system which provides ultra-smooth pedal motion in both the forward and reverse directions. The MagneTrainer has more than twice the resistance range of the other magnetic pedal exercisers on the market. The MagneTrainer is also excellent for physical therapy. As well as being perfect for home MagneTrainers are used in hospitals, physical therapy clinics, nursing homes and offices. The wide resistance range and smooth pedal motion makes it ideal for both physical therapy and healthy exercise. The MagneTrainer is used by many to exercise at work. Most use it when checking emails or on the phone. To use it while typing you will need a tall desk. See the MagneTrainer site for more information. The Magnetrainer is quiet and durable. It's made to last for years. It uses more expensive components than the other similar looking bikes. It uses wider 4V belts, heavier duty pulleys and flywheels and the more expensive German flywheel bearings. The wider 15 inch steel base keeps the bike from rocking side to side when you pedal it. The pedals have adjustable Velcro straps to accommodate all foot sizes. The on-board computer records duration, and calculates virtual distance and calories, for more accurate statistics we provide a downloadable software package to track your calories more accurately. There are many optional components available for the MagneTrainer to enhance your workout. Including: Ergo-Handles and extra large adjustable peddles. For anyone who wants to join in a virtual bike race MagneTrainer has a bike to computer interface for PC games and other interactive computer programs and software.

My husbands disabilities prevent him from doing conventional exercises, or using standard exercise equipment. This seamed a good idea to be able to exercise sitting in a chair. I looked at the cheaper versions, and was put off by buyers comments of it them being too light and feet slipping, also by what appeared to be poor tension adjustment. The extra for this machine did seem a bit much, but it did say it was used by professionals.
We have had many pedal cycles over the past few years and although much more expensive than we normally spend this one is in a league of its own. It would appear that the old saying of you get what you pay for holds true. This is a sturdy, well built machine. It is quite heavy and the span of the legs combined with good gripping feet mean it doesn't move when peddling, it is very stable on the floor, easy to pedal and has minimal noise. The front feet can be slid forward to extend the base length half as much again, so it is very stable. The tension adjustment knob has to be turned five complete revolutions between low and high tension, so you get very fine control. The peddle action is very smooth and quiet, though I think you may have to get fit before tackling the maximum tension. If you want to use the machine sitting in a computer chair which normally has casters, straps are provided to go round the base of the chair and attach to front legs of machine to stop the chair moving. I'm not sure how accurate the readout is, of distance and speed etc, but I don't think that really matters anyway, you know your own limits. This is a perfect machine for those with limited mobility. Very pleased

MagneTrainer ER "Top of it's Class" home exercise bike and mobility aid, for use while seated . ER signifies important enhancements made to none ER models inc. 60% more magnetic resistance, Dycem slip resistant feet, extended base for stability, HQ Germ...
The MagneTrainer was delivered within a few days.
It was very easy to assemble and the only tool required was supplied with it.
It is very easy to use and so will get used! I sit on my couch watching TV and pedal away. It is virtually silent, I do not have to increase the volume on the TV while pedalling. I can easily lift it onto my coffee table and exercise my arms as well.
I did have a worry about one of the pedals having some play in it but the European distributor sent me a replacement right away.
It has a wide range of resistance settings, so far I've started at the easy end. I don't think the hardest resistance setting will be too hard and doesn't have to be as the fact that I am cycling provides the exercise I need; it doesn't have to simulate climbing a mountain.

I bought this for my brother, who having suffered from bone cancer, was no longer able to easily move his legs. I like the adjustment range from 'finger-push' to hard leg work. Hopefully it will help my brother recover some of the strength in his legs and arms. It also works well on table tops for arm work.
One of the observations from other purchasers is that the device is heavy. Yes it is, but that's a bonus because it doesn't move around when it's being used.

Minor but important fault
Only just used for a day but a clonking sound has started and the stick on anti movement pads have already come off.
Time will tell otherwise all seems ok so far.
