My Dad had a stroke about 8 months ago and lost movement on his right side. I hoped that this machine might help him in his recovery.At first I could not understand the use of a machine that actually does the pedaling for you.I thought the motor would provide resistance and was disappointed when I set it up.I couldn't have been more wrong. My Father needed the help the motor provides.He only had one good leg.As soon as I turned it on for him he smiled.He loves it.The most important feature turned out to be the dial that controls the speed.This provides almost infinite (so it seems) speeds.The digital ones can't do that. When he first started he needed the slower speeds that only this dial could provide.
This machine has performed flawlessly, it has been used almost every day for 2 months with no problems.The timer is a great feature, the machine shuts off when it reaches 0.
Minor Issues
1) We removed the calorie counter as it gets in the way and kept falling off.It wasn't needed anyway.
2) The blue plastic feet are not secured to the legs and tend to spin when moving it around. Secure the blue feet and it would be a perfect machine.
My Dad's trainer checked it out before he started using it.
