Can it be used without electricity?

The bike can be pedaled; however, the only resistance is the wheel's inertia. The power moves a magnet close to the wheel to make it more difficult to pedal - kind of like a brake. The power also keeps track of workout time, distance traveled, etc.; and powers the "dinky" cooling fans. The position of the magnet (brake) during exercise time is programmed for each exercise routine, or it can be programmed by the rider. Without power, you miss 90% of the product offering ... but the pedals will turn the wheel thus providing exercise.

yes,but w/o electricity you can't control the tension so you wold be better off using a regular bike

Yes, it can be used without connecting the power adapter if your USB device power requirements are low enough. The only power available in that case would be the power supplied by your USB port on the computer, usually only 500 ma.

definitely yes. it has a spark igniter similar to outdoor barbeques. there is no electricity required to use it.

Yes it can. It comes with an AC Adapter. I usually keep mine plugged in. There are no batteries.

Yes you can. That was the reason I purchased it. I have a total electric household.

I do not think so! I would say you need something electric or at least battery operated.

No you put this on a camp stove, you don't need any electrical power to use this. I love mine.

Any electrical device without a ground can be used with this item. It is not designed for outdoor use, however, and any moisture would probably damage it.

Nope. It works without any external power source and yes it works just fine.

You can use it without power. I haven't tried using it with multiple sticks without the power adaptor though.

No, this item is not able to be used without the power plug for now. But we will release one with a battery power supply in the near future. Thank you for your kind attention.

yes you can if the electronics is working ok. in that case&#65292;you only need to buy the outside without the electronic inside. that will cost you a lot less.

I think they say not to use it plugged in, but the charging time is a short four hours and the charge lasts for many hours, so the power it uses without being plugged in is more than sufficient to tackle the job.

Yes, you can use it, but regarge it before taking to outside. Unfortunately, it does not keep long power supply as characterized by producent.

Yes, this unit can be used while plugged in, in fact that is the only way my son uses it....he didn't even know that it could be used without being plugged in!

Yes, this can be use without electricity. This is one of the reasons we got it. It is not difficult to light, a long lighter will do just fine. As far as the heat it produces, we use it as a main source for our downstairs area. The central unit will come on around 40 degrees as a back up but mostly we use just the fireplace. It will heat a very large living room just fine. I am really happy with the unit. It seems to be built with quality material and this is our second year with it. I will say it looks great in our living room and we love the look of it. If you want something with more heat, the infrared heaters put out more heat and work when there is no electricity. Hope this helps. Yes, this can be use without electricity. This is one of the reasons we got it. It is not difficult to light, a long lighter will do just fine.

No, but it doesn't need one. Power consumption is exyremely low when it is on standby.
