Review on 🦢 MAGNETRAINER Large Foot Pedals Set: Boost Leg Workout for DeskCycle & DeskCycle2 Under Desk Bikes by Swami Alcaraz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

PETALS larger/needs editing

Petals (probably) larger. see below for my rundown of common issues I've had (I'll update again). It's so cheap and light when I try to increase the resistance it literally lifts off the ground. Also, your ankles are touching the inside bar, and when you put your shoes on, it's still touching the outside bar. And I'm a regular size 8 shoe. It's impossible to do cardio because it just doesn't get the job done. Haven't tried it on my hands yet and will update if needed. While it's a piece of junk, while it's a piece of junk LATER >>> After reading more reviews again and realizing that there are many accessories to solve the problems/questions I had with the review (above). These are accessories sold by the same manufacturer as the magnet trainer. Big pedal and 22" extra adjustable base/handlebars to avoid instability. I've had shipping issues but to be honest I'll update this review after swapping out these accessories. Fingers crossed 11/2020 > I have all the extra parts Bought which come with it, XL leg patches, larger stem and quick release bars.I've been running for over 25 years and have been on crutches after my injury and need this bike to train (and keep my sanity) I've found that the lower the resistance the better/less problems.For those who like to feel the burn I would like it to work with resistance.I don't have to fight it tipping over.Will update if I can think of anything better HANDLES>>> I can't objectively rate the grip as I can't find the perfect desk/chair height combo (I'll update when I get the Knic ke fixed) The bigger the petals >>> my legs don't hit the sides anymore. After putting so much into everything I would say the extra $20 is worth it if I'm having the same issues. >>>> I promise to update if I find any tricks or tips for a better workout. Once we all go all in and have passed the 30 day return window. then I'm on a mission to make it work! ALSO I hate when people say they upgrade and end up leaving us alone. so i will update again! (Hope this helps! At least when I saw a positive review, I know it's not all for free.)
