Cubii Move - Under Desk Elliptical Bike Pedal Exerciser Portable Seated Elliptical Machine W/Adjustable Workout Levels - Adult to Seniors

I got this to replace a rather disappointing exercise bike that was failing spectacularly after only three months! I decided to try another approach and the positive reviews of this product convinced me to give it a try! Compared to the two hour assembly of the last one, the 15 minutes (possibly less) that I spent on this from unpacking to use was refreshing! It took me a bit longer than that to find a suitable position for using it, but it has been clear sailing since then! I usually spend about 2.5 to 3 hours per evening on it, so any short-term issues would have likely surfaced by now after a week of use. It is very quiet in use and easy to move out of the way afterward! It seems well-built, so I am expecting no durability issues. If I was to single out one complaint, it would be that there isn't much difference between the various resistance settings, which tend to be a bit too easy for my taste. That is a minor issue, though, and it wouldn't stop from recommending it! In fact, that's exactly what I'm doing!!!

I have bought, treadmills, rowing machines, elliptical machines, Peleton, and home gyms. I have probably wasted more than 10k on these machines. Where are they now you might ask? Well, after they became clothes hangers, they ended up in Goodwill. I saw this on TV about 6 or 7 years ago on the news. I decided this would be the last. If I cannot sustain this, I will never buy another exercise machine. To make a long story short, I have been using it for 7 years and I use it for several hours a day. I have 3 different models for 3 areas of my house. I swore that I could only sit down, if I am using a Cubii. Every day, I try to burn at least 400 calories. It is really easy on this because it is so smooth and quiet. The motion is so relaxing actually. I cannot work unless I am pedaling. It helps me think or concentrate. Among all the models throughout the years, the Cubii Move is the most practical. PROS: 1. Silky smooth - the motion is very ergonomic and is very comfortable. 2. No strain on joints - I have never had muscle cramps or pain from using this and I am an older man. 3. Pedal the whole day - I work 8-5 every day. This is under my desk. I make sure to pedal at least 80% of the time while seated. 4. Great for type 2 Diabetes - Since I pretty much pedal most of the time, when I check my blood sugar, it does not spike. 5. Great for long-term weight loss - I try to burn 400-500 calories a day while I work or watch TV. I have lost 25 pounds in 7 years. I have not changed my diet. The only thing I added was pedaling on my Cubii. 6. Great way to relax - Like I said, it is so smooth that it is almost like a meditation. CONS: 1. Do not expect an intense or even moderate workout. This is something you do for the long haul. SUMMARY: My blood pressure and blood sugar are normal now. I still have some weight to lose but I will do it slowly with my Cubii. Don't try to be Lance Armstrong. Find a relaxing, and comfortable setting and pace. The goal is to do this for the rest of your life, and not burn out and quit. >>>>>UPDATE<<<<<< I never learn. Since I thought I was doing so well with the Cubii, I decided to see if buying a Treadmill AGAIN would help. After wasting another $900 on a Treadmill, I think I have learned my lesson. If I need a clothes rack, just buy a clothes rack. >>>>>UPDATE 6/27/2025<<<<<< I bought another Cubii Move and put it in my RV. I want to keep improving my weight and health wherever I am. I have lost an average of 5 pounds since my last update. Again, this is without any major changes to diet. Although since I have lost so much weight, my knees do not hurt as much anymore when I walk or stand for a long duration. I started playing 9 holes of golf every week, and I walk the course. I do not ride a cart anymore. As someone who is up there in age, I really love the usefulness of this. It is built to last as well.

I received my Cubii, it set up easily. I did have the left pedal attachment arm come loose after a short period of use as the lock nut came loose. But I was able to reattach it securely with my tools. It seems the nut wasn't tightened properly, but it is now. It is pedals easily and works smoothly and quietly. Very good for exercising my legs while using the computer and watching TV. Perfect size and a good value , works well so far for the first few days of use, after being fixed.

I have a knee problem that makes it difficult for me to do certain exercises, the Cubii is a Godsend as far as I am concerned. It’s very easy to put together and it’s heavy enough that if you have a back problem, it will be difficult to carry around. I have used mine for 3 months and haven’t had any issues. The settings are very simple. Time, calories and number of steps are displayed on the tiny lcd screen and there is a knob that allows you to set your resistance. Don’t expect recumbent bike type of resistance, I use ankle weights whenever I need a more challenging workout. On average my heart rate fluctuates between 120 and 124, so it’s a decent low impact workout. The Cubii, if put together correctly, is quite silent, mine was squeaking today, it took me a while to figure out that it was my gym shoes. I didn’t wear socks today so my shoes were loose. I highly recommend the Cubii, it’s good value for money.

I am so impressed with the Cubii Move Seated Elliptical. It is incredibly well-built and whisper-quiet, which makes it perfect for using under a desk during meetings or while catching up on emails. The pedaling motion is very smooth, and I love that the adjustable resistance allows me to customize my workout. I spend a lot of time at my desk and this has been a lifesaver for keeping my legs moving. It’s lightweight and portable, so moving it between rooms is a breeze. If you’re looking for a low-impact way to stay fit while you work, this is it. Merry Christmas to everyone looking to start the new year on a healthy note!

I got the Cubii Move for my mom since she’s getting older and I wanted something safe for her to stay active without the risk of injuries or pressure on her joints. She absolutely loves it! It’s super quiet, so she can pedal while watching TV or listening to music without bothering anyone. It’s compact enough to fit in her small living room and easy for her to slide under the couch or a table when not in use. She notices that her legs feel less stiff after a few sessions, and she seems more energetic overall. The resistance levels are just enough for gentle movement; ideal for her age and just right for light activity. It’s also safe and low-impact, so I feel good knowing she isn’t putting strain on her knees or back. Setup was straightforward and it feels sturdy under her feet. For anyone wanting a subtle way to keep aging loved ones moving, this pedal exerciser is a great choice. I’ve already recommended it to a couple of friends whose parents need gentle exercise options. Overall, very happy with the purchase, and mom’s been using it daily with a smile.

We bought this for our senior mom because she’s becoming less mobile. It’s very quiet and even the highest level is fairly easy for her to peddle. she enjoys it while watching TV and can definitely feel it in her legs. We just have to make sure she has it position correctly to work her quadriceps. If it’s too far away, it will basically just work the ankles, but if you move it closer to the chair, it lifts her legs higher and works her quadriceps.

Super disappointed with this machine. I had hoped to replace mine that I bought during covid that is fabulous. It's a standing or sitting version, but it's huge and beyond heavy to move about (and I have no place in this tiny apartment to keep it put in one place). Anyway, this unit seemed like a great idea to replace it with. Took bout 20 minutes to assemble and on a positive note, it looks like it's made very well and sturdy. Quiet as well. However my disappointment was in the tension dial. I had it on 6 (the highest) and it was pretty much like a 1 or 2 setting on the machine I already have. I mean if you just want to see your legs go round and round sans enough tension to get a good workout, then this is for you. I returned it. One note: If you do decide to give this a go, take a picture of how it was packed in case you want to return it. I spent over an hour, AN HOUR, trying to figure out this Rubik's Cube manner of packing and still didn't get it right. I was so annoyed by all this. So save yourself the stress and take a photo of everything!
