So is this motorized or isn't it? I searched Amazon for something motorized (a la "exerpeutic" but better) and this came up.

This is not motorized. If you want the pedals to move - you must use your own energy. My husband and I love it. It's basically a bicycle but without the seat. I hope that helps you.

It is not motorized. It operates under your power. It is a very sturdy machine and I like it.

Your arms and legs 'motorize' the Magne Trainer. Really enjoy mine! I saw and felt results the first week.....Good luck.

I have an Exerpeutic recumbent bike with motorized magnetic settings. And I wish I didn't. The mechanism is fubar'd, they are telling me to ship the entire bike back (100 lbs) at my expense, so the warranty is essentially useless. Instead, I have removed the covers and use a wrench to manually turn a cable nut to change the resistance. I wish I had bought something with a simple, manual dial like the MagneTrainer (which is what brought me to this web page where I read your question).

the whole machine is manual...there is a place between the handle bars that is battery operated that shows the time, distance and calories burned...we do enjoy it a lot because of the convience, easy fold up when grand children are around and we don't have a lot of space for other items..we hope this helps you somewhat

Thanks for the feedback, I finally did buy the Exerpeutic with the rolling lifetime table and you're right, it perfect. I have it setup in front of my 40" Sony and the laptop is monitored to the big screen, and it works great.. I think I may still need a gel cushion for the seat (due to being on it almost the full 8 hour day). and yes at simple cruising speed it appears (according to the computer) I'm knocking off over 2000 calories per day. Even if the computer isn't accurate, hell , I'm happy with half of that.

Absolutely not. You need a motorized treadmill. One hand has to be on the handlebars, if not both. Also, due to the built-in elevation, it becomes anaerobic. Breathing that hard makes it difficult to focus on anything but exercise.

Provides exercise? It is not battery operated, no noise or lights. Has a baby or stuffed animal seat on the back.

I didn't realize you couldn't put more resistance on it than cycle at it's own pace. But, hey it's movement, and I know I'll be using it more than the one which requires you to cycle it. It just would have been nice to have the option, when you felt a little more energetic. Ha But I just got my machine today and I need to post a question, may not be the right place, but does anyone have one that stops moving periodically. Just wondering if this one has a short, or it just does that.

There is a chart included that shows you what to do. There is also an infomercial that comes on abt it all the time. I like it. Just add some cardio with it and that will also help. There are a lot of exercises you can do with this machine but you need to have a routine and stick with it. Hope this helps

I am sorry Ola, I didn't realize it could be motorized. My grandkids just push it around. Hopefully you can find out, as now I will look for it as well.

as far as a workout goes it is very good. but it does have pedals and if all you use it for is arms, it would be nice to modify it yourself with some handle grips instead. My mom use it for her arms as well as legs, its more comfortable for the legs though.

No it is not. There might be other models that are, but the one I purchased is not an electric bike.

It pretty much sounds like a treadmill with the exception of the sound of the hydraulics "bump,bump"ing with each step. My husband watches TV while I am on it and only turns the sound up one level. I did buy the rubber/plastic mat to go underneath it to help damper the vibration/movement on my wood floor.

The lower prices offered on Amazon are normally people trying to sell used machines. There is currently a listing for $279 we see that claims to be a new machine with "shelf wear". Please remember, these second hand machines will not have a warranty. The Exerciser Elite is listed as $359.95 with a 2 year parts and labor warranty on Amazon through our Amazon store. Thank you.

What is the brand/model of the stationary bike? If I see the (stationary) bike in question, I may be in a better position to advise. Cheers, OCTrojan

No, It's not. It has no electric motor. Just a low watt element to generate a convection. No noise at all.

I'm 74 years of age, so walking is just fine for me. The Exerpeutic 100XI, is never flat. It is designed to be on an incline, high or lower. I guess maybe a younger person could run on it. Like running up a rolling hill in Tennessee.It does have a resistance knob on it to give a better work-out, but I don't use it. It is very easy to lift up and put the locking mechanism into the slot to push the exerciser out of the way next to a wall or such. It is very sturdily built.I really L-O-V-E mine and I think you would LOVE it too!

No I don't think so, I think if you try to do that you will ruin the motor. I was actually disappointed in the bike, it is really ONLY passive motion. There is no resistance to set and if you pedal ahead of the motor with effort on your own part..it shuts down and you have to wait for it to catch up to you. I am going to sell it on ebay as a used bike. It would be great for a stroke victim that wants passive ROM with arms and legs, just not someone who is looking for a workout.
