What is a portable exercise bike?

Portable exercise bike is a small piece of fitness equipment, similar to a concept to a stationary bike, but very different in design. Although there are some folding stationary wheels that are sometimes referred to as portable exercise wheels, the term “portable exercise bike” usually refers to a small device that the user of the pedal when sitting on the chair. This type of mini bike can be one way to get some exercises in your feet and buttocks, but in general it is not enough for the entire exercise.

The portable exercise bike sits on the floor and has two pedals on a bike attached to a flywheel that uses friction for a resistance or a magnetized wheel. The whole piece of equipment is usually not more than 2 feet (0.6 meters) and does not have a seat. Instead, the user sits on a chair, puts his legs on the pedals and pushes the pedals as if they are sitting on a bike. This piece of fitness equipment is not safe.
