Riding my Keiser stationary bike, I don't hold the handle bars & sit upright peddling unicycle style. Will this work for sitting upright?

The question for you is, can you balance on your sit bones and peddle at the same time? If so, yes the Hobson is for you!
909568
Yes, sitting upright is a better position for this seat. However the two seat pads allow for more motion so it will be harder to balance without the help of handle bars.

Due to the width of the seat, it might be less comfortable if your leg extension is very vertical.

Given how precarious it feels pedaling on my bike without holding onto the handlebars, I would not suggest it. Just sitting upright on a stationary bike without holding onto the handlebars is not a problem, but with the motion of pedaling, I suspect it would quickly become awkward. This is because there is no saddle nose to keep you centered on the seat and you cannot compensate with your arms (as I have to do on my road bike) when you are not using the handlebars. At least on a stationary bike, if you lose your position on the seat, the bike won't go out of control and falling off should cause no road rash. ;) Given how precarious it feels pedaling on my bike without holding onto the handlebars, I would not suggest it.

Unfortunately, this is not designed for stand up and pedal on it since upright bike. I tried but it wasn't comfortable at all. I would recommend cycling bike instead. Happy Cycling!!

Short answet: yes.Long answer: it depends on the fixation system of the seat to the pole on your stationary bike.

Try standing while straddling the bar, you do not want your privates to touch the bar.Seat height should be set so that when your at the bottom of the stroke, your leg is almost straight.Judging bike size when standing still on one foot and sitting on the seat is a mistake.

I just got this bike and it works for someone who is 4'11". I can fully pedal while sitting properly in the chair (on its lowest setting) and have no issues holding onto the handlebars. I think those shorter than me would find it difficult to reach the pedals comfortably.

I have never heard of a "spinning bike" but if it uses the standard two rail or straight seat post it will fit the bike but if the peddles are positioned pretty much under your seat you may find that as you peddle the backs of your legs may push your bottom forward and eventually off the front of the seat. I believe this seat will work best on a bike that has the peddles located more forward of the seat like a cruiser or a "comfort bike". It is a very comfortable seat "the most comfortable" I have ever come across but it needs the rite kind of bike to be able to enjoy it.

Yes it will, I use it while riding my stationary bike and the height and stability is spot on.

The handle bars always move - but you don't have to touch them to still peddle. Likewise you can only use the handle bars, and place your feet on fixed foot rests, and of course you can use both your feet and hands, or neither if like just sitting on a bike seat. In any case I'd recommend getting a slip on seat cushion pad - as the one that comes with the bike is not all that comfortable.

There are suggestions for legs while seated but they're cumbersome. The normal exercises have you standing or stepping onto the low platform you see in the picture. Just looked at the other answer and don't remember a bicycle option. I broke my wrist in a fall last year and put the chair away then,

It should if the tube that the seat slides into will hold it securely. Most exercise bikes have adjustable seats similar to bikes that are used outdoors. The seat angle can generally be adjusted to tilt more or less to keep the rider from sliding forward or backward while peddling. The other primary adjustment is the seat height, accomplished by sliding the seat post into the upright tube on the bike - standard stuff. There are only two possible issues to be aware of; 1) The seat post MUST be tight enough in the tube so that when the clamp at the top of the tube is tightened, the seat height will be maintained. If not, a good full service bike shop should be able to fit adapters to the post, tube, or both. It's not a big deal. 2) Due to the size of the seat, it works best when the extra support bars are used (actually one metal tube shaped like a long upside down 'U'). The seat comes with this U tube already attached to the seat. The bottoms of this bracket are normally attached to the rear axle of a street bike. Whether or not they can be attached to YOUR exercise bike remains to be seen. You might want to check whether the rear brackets of the seat will attach to your bike before ordering the seat because the brackets do make a big difference. Good luck. If it will work on your bike you'll love the seat.

You can, but don't. Standing is not a good way to ride and doing it on a regular bike is easier. When I was road riding I seldom stood up except to rest my rear end. The seat is also too big you really need the narrow bike seat which way more comfortable. I got the bike to just keep my legs working not as a substitute for real riding.

Sure! When you get the bike, stand next to it. Raise or lower the seat till it lines up with your hip while you are standing. Secure the seat and pedal away.

This should work for you. The person who uses this also uses a three-wheel mobility scooter and she was able to wheel over the hinged area without a problem.

George, the legs have rounded ends which aid in moving it. If it had wheels then it would probably rock back and forth as you peddled. I do not see that the ends rotate, so you'd really be pulling or dragging the bike. We keep ours stationery but the suggested coaster idea would work!

The directions say this is not a wheel chair so I would say no it is very stable to sit on for long lengths of time, my sister says she uses this as a chair often it is very mobile.This has hand brakes like a bike so you would need decision making skills and be able to squeeze the brake ( although it doesn't take much hand strength) i already see a few more of these at the home. We love this and so does my sister. Remember you can take the handles off to fit in a car. Pluses very much out weigh the minus.

I googled to see what a Tunturi bike looks like and some images showed a long curved handle, and some images showed what looked like to be a typical handlebar from a regular bike. If your exercise bike has a handlebar like a regular bicycle does, then I would think that the grips would work. If your exercise bike has the long curved handles, then I do not think it would fit. These grips would not be long enough (and perhaps not wide enough). One way to check would be to measure the outside diameter of your bar with that of a regular bicycle that you might have in your garage. If it's the same size, it should work.
