Best Easy Assembly: Mini Exercise Bike, Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser

Mini exercise bikes are perfect for folks who can’t go outside or seniors who worry about falling during walks. Of course, for these folks, a bike that is easy to assemble is important.

We tried several bikes before deciding this one by Himaly is probably the easiest to assemble. Here’s more:

What We Liked

• Lightweight at just 8.8 lbs.

• Great for light exercise.

• Can be used for arms when placed on a tabletop.

• Great for rehab.

• Portable.

• Easy to assemble.

What Needs Work

• Moves around despite no-slip feet. On the plus side, this unit does come with a no-slip mat.

• Louder than other models we researched. This bike uses friction resistance, which can be more noisy than magnetic resistance. If you’d prefer a model that is quieter, we’d suggest this next recommendation.
