Rank #9 in Best Under Desk Bike 2026: 10 Ranked, Spec Sheet vs Sales Copy
Vive Folding Pedal Exerciser for Seniors
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Vive Folding Pedal Exerciser is a sit-down pedal unit for arms, legs, hands and feet, priced at £29.99 and placed ninth in this guide. It carries 4.0 out of 5 from 3,798 ratings. The listing does not agree with itself on how big the thing is: the bullet copy calls the compact design 12.5 in (31.75 cm) high, and says it fits under a desk or similar space, while the Item Dimensions field in the same listing reads 19.5 cm high — just under 12 cm less than the copy claims. The same spec table lists "Number of Resistance Levels: 2", a 6-inch maximum stride length, and a power source of "Corded Electric", which is a strange thing to say about a pedal unit you turn by hand and foot.
Every figure on this page — price, rating, weight, dimensions — is taken from the Amazon listing for this product and not from any testing we carried out ourselves.
