Sturdy and Great Excercise
The Cubii has been a godsend. I am a 70 year old, currently residing in an assisted living facility, and cannot walk due to arthritis in both knees and severe edema issues in my left leg from cancer surgery. I have been in therapy for months and have made improvements in standing but still cannot walk. Insurance issues (Medicare could use some improvement) have left me with only one therapy session per week so I had to find some exercise I could use on a daily basis to build strength and endurance. I showed an internet video of the Cubii to my therapist and he thought it would be helpful but had no patients currently using it so he had questions. I took a flyer, bought one, and it has been all the ads say and more. I’ll list the benefits and concerns:BENEFITS:Very easy to set up (4 screws, that’s it)Sturdy – I am a big guy and worried if it would be flimsy. Not at all – a real quality productEasy to use – I have size 13 shoe and my feet fit easily in the foot pads. Set the resistance level you want ( start with 0 ) and pedalExercise Benefit – your knees move up and down as you pedal building strength in quads, glutes, and hamstrings along with working your cardio. This was the issue my therapist was most concerned about but he is very high on the Cubii and has recommended it to a few patients since I bought mine.CONCERNS:Cost – $249 may seem like a lot but you pay for quality – well worth itMobility – there is a handle you can use to pick it, but it is 25 lbs so be aware if that is a problem for youSliding – I use it on a hardwood floor and if I did not buy the pad as an accessory it would be a problem. With the pad, sliding is not an issue. If you don’t have some kind of traction already I recommend buying the pad, but it is another $29. No idea how it would act on carpeting.Overall I am SOLD on the Cubii. When I started I was only able to do sets of 20-25 reps and within 2 weeks (after warming up) am now up to sets of 100-150 reps. No question my legs are stronger. Will It result in my being able to walk again? That remains to be seen, but if I do make it, the Cubii will be a big part of that success.

This a great little machine
I was concerned by some of the negative reviews that mentioned noise issues, but I have not experienced any that concern me. I get a squeal every now and then when I start up, but it goes away as the machine warms up. It’s a heavy little thing, so I don’t move it around as much as I thought i might, but that also means it stays put. It was very easy to attach the foot pedals [the only “assembly” required], and I’ve been very happy with it. I have some foot/nerve issues that can make walking uncomfortable, but this little baby lets me put in miles with no discomfort. No electric cord; no remote control; no bells and whistles. Just a basic manual machine. I’m a fan.

When it arrived it was very easy to put together and came with its own screwdriver and little feet to put the wheels of your office chair on so you don’t move while you’re using it.Admittedly it is pretty heavy but that is a plus for me as it means the machine stays put while in use.The resistance levels are fine for me as I’m just using it casually while working from home to help manage my lymphoedema. It’s quiet enough that I can use it while I’m in meetings on the lower settings.Good price, does what is expected and feels solid/good quality. Wish I’d bought it ages ago!

I decided to return an Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser mainly because it was defective and went for this Cubii JR1. Maybe the experience seemed even better because of what I experienced with the previous bike. Anyway, everything was perfect, even the polystyrene protection. The screwdriver was by far the best I’ve ever seen as part of an assembly kit. The assembly took 5 minutes. The unit is heavy and stable enough so that there is no undesired movement while pedaling. I’ve been pedaling for one hour already while sitting at my desk. The only annoying thing is the Apple watch which doesn’t detect my exercise and keeps asking me if I was done. Which leads me to my only regret: I should have bought the Bluetooth version to connect the unit to an app and sync exercise data with my phone and watch.

Mi sto trovando benissimo: dovendo stare tante ore seduta per lavorare, mi aiuta a riattivare la circolazione e a mantenere tonicita.
