New 2 IN 1 Fitness Elliptical Cross Trainer & Exercise bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Its a good machine for the money. Nice and compact. Not too big except for the fact that the handles, from the bottom of the machine to the top, are about 4.5 feet tall. Also, you have to assemble it yourself. The wheel and the pedal turner, or whatever its called, is set up but you have to screw on the pedal pads, the stands that holds the machine up, and the handles yourself.
Next, do not handle the machine ruffly or it will break. I was sitting on the bike part, after a 30 minute workout on the elliptical, and bent over to the floor to get my cup of water. By putting more weight on the right pedal than I should have, it broke. It was easily fixed with some crazy glue but now there's an annoying ticking sound.
If you do a cardio work out anywhere from 1 to 4 times per week this is the machine for you. If you like to work out 5 to 7 times per week you would need something more sturdy. Hope this helps. Will be posting pics soon.

Stamina CPS 1305 Indoor Upright Exercise Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Every time you come across a product like this, you start losing faith in the trustworthiness of Amazon reviews, because your experience and that of the rave reviewers couldn't be more diametrically opposed. You can't help wonder if these people are on the company payroll, got "lucky", or merely posted a review before they really got a chance to use this item. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they've yet to really use the product long enough to give an accurate appraisal of it. With that being said, judging from my experience and that of the two negative reviewers with similar problems, I would heartily suggest taking the rave reviews with a grain of salt.
Long story short: bought the bike sight unseen due to the positive ratings. The bike assembled beautifully and seemed to have a solid build, not to mention looked wonderful, too. Yes, the chain was loud as hell, but I could deal with it, because I watch TV while cycling anyway, and could just turn up the volume to mask the noise. The resistance as well was very tight, but no biggie-- all I had to do was just adjust the velco strap on the bike, so I did.
All seemed well initially until *it* happened. After the second day of usage, a very loud rattling and knocking noise started to emerge whenever I pedaled. I investigated the source of the problem and well-- what do you know-- discovered that the wheel, which had been functioning perfectly the day before, was now wobbling greatly from side to side.
Not one to waste time, I immediately shipped the defective product back to Amazon for a replacement because defective parts notwithstanding, it's a beautiful looking bike with terrific ergonomics and couldn't be easier to assemble. So I figured that a product this well put together couldn't be bad and that I had received a lemon.
Got the replacement. Once again, everything assembled beautifully. Started using the bike and noticed instantly that the wiring for the monitor was bad. The monitor itself was working (would turn on when you pressed the button), but didn't respond at all when I started pedaling, so this was clearly a problem with the wiring that connected the bike to the monitor. No big deal once again-- all I cared about was a working bike and besides, I wasn't going to go through the rigamarole of taking it apart and shipping it back just for the sake of the monitor.
With the bad wire I continued my workout and about a half hour in started to hear 1) a loud clicking in the right peddle 2) the beginnings of what sounded like the wheel about to go bad again. (Mind you, this is only the first day!) I prayed that this was as bad as it was going to get with the replacement bike. But the next day, the clicking not only continued, the wheel's rattling got noticeably louder. It wasn't as loud as with the first bike, but the fact that the noise was getting progressively louder in such a short amount of time was a bad, bad sign that it was going to get to that point again. Between that and the clicking pedal-- not to mention the problems with the first bike-- I knew that this was a defective product and that even if I got a brand new replacement that worked perfectly for the first few weeks, that I'd be lucky if I got a year's use out of it.
I'm still going to hang on to this bike for a day or two before contemplating whether to just cut my losses or go through the hassle of repacking and shipping it back. Either way, this has been one of the most disheartening purchases I've ever made. Nothing is worse than falling in love with a product that seems to have all the qualities of a solid performer but is defective. The Stamina CPS 1305 is that product. It may look great, assemble great, and feel great, but it isn't built to last-- not by a longshot. :-(

Confidence Fitness 2-in-1 Elliptical Trainer with Seat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really loved that this item was both a bike and an elliptical machine, at such an awesome price. I wasn't very certain that it would be sturdy, etc because it is so inexpensive. But I am pleasantly surprised. However, the only reason that I am rating this four stars is that it took me three hours to put together. The directions are extremely hard to follow.

Enjoy a total body workout without leaving the home with this Confidence two-in-one elliptical cross trainer and exercise bike. Designed to provide a low-impact cardiovascular workout for all family members regardless of ability level, the trainer is ideal for event training, rehabilitation, and plain-old cardio fitness. At first glance, the unit resembles a standard elliptical trainer, with a pair of footpads that move in a natural elliptical motion, along with a set of arm poles that move in conjunction with your legs. The smooth, fluid movement will tone your arms, chest, back, hips, legs, and glutes while providing a low-impact workout that's five times as efficient as walking. The trainer's a step above most units, however, thanks to the addition of an adjustable seat, which adds more variety to your workouts. As a result, you can turn your trainer into an upright exercise bike and exercise while standing or sitting. The trainer also strides in both forward and reverse to add even more variety.
The Confidence trainer includes an adjustable resistance dial to keep you challenged, along with a four-function onboard computer that tracks your time, speed, distance, and calories. And at 34 by 60 by 24 inches (W x H x D), the trainer won't take up a ton of room in your basement or garage. The Confidence two-in-one trainer offers a maximum capacity of 250 pounds and weighs 65 pounds by itself.

Octopaddles Set Of 6 Review

(More customer reviews)These paddles are a good idea for propelling a scooter board, but they are very hard to use. My child has upper body weakness, but even the neighborhood children had trouble propelling themselves with these paddles. It is a bit too hard to make it fun.

Glide Bikes Mini Glider Balance Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I researched available balance bikes and decided that the Mini Glider is the best for my son. He loves it and couldn't be happier. (He has the blue one, but the color doesn't make a difference.) Here's what sets the Mini Glider apart from the other choices:
- Super lightweight. Shipping weight is 6 pounds. Compare to the 14 pound Kettler Sprint. The lighter, the easier for a young child to manipulate. Watch my son mount, turn around, dismount, and even lift his Mini Glider with ease.
- Foot pegs for ease of riding and transition to a pedal bike. Most brands have no foot rest for training foot position. The Glider Rider Bike has a 10-inch footplate, but my son's shoes are already 9 inches long. His big feet fit on the Mini Glider's foot pegs with no trouble.
- Hand brake. Some others leave this out, saying that the child shouldn't go faster than his feet can stop him. My son figured out how to use the brake on his own. It is helpful to him when stopping at the bottom of a hill. At the end of the video, just before the last notes of the music, you can hear the "Shhh" of the brake as he brings the glider to a safe stop.
- Solid, no-pump tires. With a vehicle this lightweight, you don't need the hassle of airing up tiny tires. These tires are sturdy and give plenty of traction.
- Seat height easily adjusts with the turn of one bolt.
- Minimal assembly required. Simply insert the handle bars, tighten with the included tool, adjust the seat, and go.
- Excellent customer service from the manufacturer. I had a question about adjusting the brake, and when I called the # in the instruction manual I spoke to a real person immediately.
My son is a tall (44-inch) 4 1/2 year old. Not particularly athletic or graceful, it took him until the age of 4 to learn to pedal a tricycle. When he became interested in bicycles, I got him the Mini Glider. At first, he straddled the seat and waddled with the glider. He soon progressed to walking, running, one-foot-pumping, and coasting with his feet on the foot pegs. The video shows his amazing progress from his second day of riding the glider through 2 1/2 weeks of learning. He loves showing off his skills to everyone, and he wants to go riding every day.
Edit: The new model now offered for sale has a quick-release seat clamp. No tool is needed to adjust the seat. They have also made the handlebars adjustable, for an even more customizable fit. Excellent!

Sonic Scooters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought 3 of these scooter boards in different colors to hook together for our daughter. She has Cerebral Palsy. She loves to get out of her wheel chair and scoot around the house. These are not only a blast but they are durable and inexpensive. I like that you can tie a rope to the handles on the front and tow a little passenger. They are great for working on neck strength and upper trunk strength. The fact that they link together and come apart makes for easy storage. Gotta love that too. I just wish there was some way to keep a special needs kiddos hands from getting too close to the wheels. This product does a pretty good job because of the placement of the wheels and the handles. You can always use a wedge on top of the scooter if your concerned. These scooter boards are neat for any kid and the price is right. Shipping is lightning fast as well! Woo hoo!

4 RED Wheels W/Abec 7 Bearings for RAZOR SCOOTERS 100mm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son is 15 and it's hilarious that he's dusting off his old Razor scooter. (Apparently they're allowed to use them in the hallways at school in the evening while they're there for science fair projects.)
There is no longer a product page up for the scooter that Amazon says we bought in August, 2002, so I can't verify our Razor model, which is probably what you want to check. It was an early Razor, so possibly, it's just a Razor (without a model number?). The Razor itself doesn't seem to have any extra identifying information.
Anyway, these seem to be just like the original wheels.
I doing my research shopping for wheels, it seems like your main questions are those ABEC 7 bearings and whether you want 100mm or 110mm wheels. Again, these are just what I was looking for.

Trikke T78 Scooter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am glad to have purchased this item. Works well for my needs. Folds up and fits in the back end of my truck with ease. I can get it out during lunch and do a quick run around the parking lot at work. I get home from work late, at dusk, and hop on the Trikke for a quick 30 minute ride/workout around my neighborhood. Two drawbacks are: need more replective material for riding at night for drivers to see me; need to get the upgrade for pneumatic rear wheels. Holy buckets, talk about feeling every little bump in the road. If the the road is not cement, my hands and feet go numb after a while due to the vibration of the road.

Color My Class? Connect-A-Scooters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son got this from his wish list for Christmas 2009. He loves his scooter! He is very active (hyper) and keeps him entertained for a while. We have tile floors and he slides, does 360's and other gymnastics. It does make noise (going over the tile), but it helps him get his energy out and I am grateful to have this scooter in my arsenal.

Street Surfing Whiplash Wave Scooter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My nine year old son received the Whiplash Scooter for his birthday. This is his second scooter. He loves this one because he can do so much more with it. He rides it up and down the sidewalk without ever touching the ground and he does these really cool turns he couldn't do on his other scooter. It is really well made too.

Building on the success of the original Wave street surfing casterboard, the Whiplash Wave scooter continues to combine the natural fluidity of surfing with the maneuverability of snowboarding and skating. Offering a revolutionary new way to ride, the Whiplash Wave Scooter's flexing deck and handlebar fuse together to provide riders with a cool, side to side, whip-like ride. And you can self-propel the scooter so that your feet never touch the ground or ride it like a traditional scooter. The Whiplash Wave Scooter only takes a few minutes to learn, and after a few hours most riders become proficient.
The platform is made of a virtually indestructible yet nicely lightweight ABS plastic, and it features a steel torsion bar that controls the flexible front and rear panels and never wears down. Other hardware features a rear caster wheel with ABEC 7 bearings and an extra long handle folds for easy travel and storage.
How to Ride the Whiplash
Place the Whiplash on a slight downward slope.
Place foot in the center of the back platform and position the scooter so that it is level with the ground.

Push with your front foot and lean your weight forward.
Look straight ahead. Straighten your body and bend your knees slightly.

Immediately after pushing off, start the twisting motion.
To achieve an "S" shape, move your shoulders and your hips back and forth in opposing directions. Swing your back foot repeatedly left to right and self propel your Whiplash Scooter without ever putting your foot on the ground.
