YOSUDA Under Desk Bike Pro Green: features, specs and who it suits

The YOSUDA Under Desk Bike Pro is a small pedal exerciser designed to sit beneath a desk or in front of a sofa, so you can pedal while you work or watch television. It comes in a green finish and adds resistance bands for an upper-body option. Here is what its features mean in practice.

Magnetic resistance explained

The bike offers 16 levels of magnetic resistance. Magnetic systems use magnets near a flywheel to create drag without any parts rubbing together, which is why they are typically smooth and quiet and need little upkeep. YOSUDA describes the resistance as running from gentle to intense, so you can pedal lightly while typing or turn it up for a harder session. It is described as low-impact, meaning your feet stay on the pedals and nothing pounds the floor.

Quiet enough for the office?

YOSUDA says the bike runs at under 10 dB. That is a brand figure, and in general any moving exerciser makes some sound, but magnetic bikes are usually among the quietest. Gripper feet and a non-slip mat are included to keep it from creeping across the floor, which also helps protect flooring.

The 3-in-1 design

Besides pedalling, the bike works with resistance bands that YOSUDA says let you target the arms and core as well as the legs. The idea is one compact machine for a mixed routine at home or elsewhere.

Tracking and app connection

The monitor shows time, speed and calories. The bike can also sync with the Kinomap and Zwift apps, which turn pedalling into virtual routes or rides. Calorie readings on any small exerciser are estimates, so treat them as a rough guide to progress.

Size, weight and storage

The bike measures 19.7 x 17.7 x 13.0 inches (about 50 x 45 x 33 cm) and weighs 17.9 lb (about 8.1 kg), light enough to move between rooms. YOSUDA says setup takes about 8 minutes and that it stores easily in small spaces. A one-year warranty on all parts is listed.

Who it suits

It suits people who sit for long stretches, such as remote workers, students and people in small flats, and anyone wanting light activity without a full-size bike. It is not a replacement for an upright bike if you want long, intense training sessions.

What to check before you buy

• Desk clearance: measure the space under your desk, including your knees at the top of the pedal stroke, against the 13-inch height.
• Chair height: a lower seat may suit pedalling better than a very high one.
• Floor surface: the non-slip mat and gripper feet help, but check how it sits on your floor type.
• Weight and fit: confirm the stated size and weight suit your space and any weight limit in the manual.
• App needs: Kinomap and Zwift need a compatible device and, typically, their own accounts.
• Wellness questions: if you have any health concerns, ask your own doctor before starting a new routine.
