Comment: I bought my Motorized Exercise Cycle from Amazon to aid in circulation of my legs. I'm very pleased with the product and would recomend this type of exercise for anyone having leg problems from lack of exercise.

Summary: Great little cycle machine! 2010-07-02
Comment: A year after total knee replacement, I was looking for a cycle machine to keep my knee flexible. A recumbent bike was suggested by my orthopedist. Where in the world would I put one? I found this motorized exercise cycle at Amazon.com and thought it would be perfect. It is! I use it for 45 minutes every day, and my knee feels 100% better than it did before I got the machine.
I wouldn't think that this cycle would be good for someone who wanted to build quad muscles as there is little resistance. It's great for flexibility.

Summary: Excellent for weak legs 2010-05-16
Comment: Got this for my 84 years old mother whom has trouble walking so I want to get her to exercise her feet and I have tried several but not effective. She loves this one because it helps moving her leg easily although I encourage her to continue even after the power stop.
The only DANGER WARNING I want to give is the cord that controls on/off switch may get tangle with the peddle and the cord will get jammed. This happens once when my mother didn't turn it off and when she plugs in the electric cord, the peddle starts moving and yank the cord with it. I took for one star because it should always be in off state when plug it.

Summary: Fabulous After Knee Surgery 2010-05-03
Comment: This was purchased several weeks after my husband had total knee replacement. He had major complications after the surgery and rehabilitation was severely limited. After several weeks of use, several times a day, his range of motion is greatly improved. The physical therapist, my husband and I are all very pleased..He needs to have total replacement of the other knee and we know it will help immensely in the rehabilitation process.

Comment: I'm very pleased with the activcycle. I use the cycle four to five times a day and its been four weeks since I received the cycle. Having MS with drop leg, this cycle has been very helpful in using my left leg again. I have even told my doctor about it.. and why was I never told about this type of product...instead of taking pills for my leg problem....Amazing what you learn on your own...Try it its great.
