Not too bad., March 18, 2009
This review is from: MedMobile Digital Mobility Aid Pedal Exerciser for Arms & Legs (Health and Beauty)
The machine itself is built sturdy and works just fine, a few draw backs to this product.
one being the packaging it was shipped in, it had nothing to really protect the machine while shipping when i got mine the control knob was broken into pieces, It still had a large enough piece to grab to adjust it so it wasn't too bad, I was able to glue it back together.
It has a god awful metal against metal screech when using it on a higher level of resistance, it is easily fixed by opening it up and adding some oil to the belt and metal wheel, once it is oiled the sound isn't noticeable.
The rubber grips are pretty much useless on anything but a carpet, once you start peddling at a faster speed it just starts moving.
The frame is very light weight which does cause another issue when peddling since at times you can life up one side of it and start moving, adding a little weight to the end helps with this.
It is still better than some other ones out there and at a fair price, if you can set up your environment to use this product then it should work just fine.

HARD TO USE, June 7, 2009
This review is from: MedMobile Digital Mobility Aid Pedal Exerciser for Arms & Legs (Health and Beauty)
I was very disappointed in this exerciser. The "stirups" are clumsy to use and difficult for a "senior" to bend enough to attach them. It moves around too much (on carpeting) when the knob is tightened and makes an irritating squeeking sound.

Pedaler..., May 27, 2009
This review is from: MedMobile Digital Mobility Aid Pedal Exerciser for Arms & Legs (Health and Beauty)
We got the pedal exerciser for my mom after she had open heart surgery for aortic valve replacement. She's a slight woman...weighing in at about 111 lbs, but after everything that accompanies major surgery, she's just getting back on her feet again. Unfortunately, she's lost quite a bit of weight and she's a little weak, but this item has allowed her to work aerobically while remaining in a seated position. Our ultimate goal is to get her up and walking around the block...she was able to do that pre-surgery. But until then, the Pedal Exerciser has been a huge help in getting her mobility and respiration up.
