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.

Sunny Health & Fitness Motorized Mini Bike
A simple and effective workout that seems to be durable and isn't too easy when starting and certainly isn't too difficult.
The item arrived within 48 hours. It was ordered for my wife and worked out perfectly as it offers only medium resistance. I am very satisfied with both the purchase and the speed with which it was delivered.
Comfortable, quiet, smooth pedalling.I tried four other bikes, same style, at sporting good stores and this one was just as comfortable and quiet as the ones that are double or more than double the price.I would highly recommend.
This kit has everything you need! My only gripe is that the mat, reguardless of laying flat since I recieved it about a month ago, continues to roll up on me during yoga! I would prefer something a little more sturdy. But besides that, it works for me. It's a great price considering adding up all of these items and purchasing them seperately.
I have always wanted to have a stomach worth showing and finally I have one!! I can't wait to sport my bikini this summer!! This product is great! It is kind of wierd at first, but you truly do feel it the next day (in a good way)! Just 5-10 minutes a day and I saw results within the first couple of weeks! DEFINITELY worth every penny!
I was looking for a simple Mini Stepper to use with my exercise routine. After scouring the web, I ordered one at a large (nameless) department store which was shipped out in a week, but broken, so I returned it to the store. Then I decided to visit my usual source "Amazon.com" and found one that was suitable for my needs and at the right price. 
Nice compact unit that fits well under my desk so I can justify the long hours I waste online.It's replaced my footstool and I find myself pedaling subconsciously - probably a good thing.My only wish is that it had more tension, as it seems to go quite freely no matter where I set the tension wheel.
