pedal for desk CYCPLUS DC1 Mini Pedal Exerciser (10.6lb, 0.18m2 Space-Saving)

Regular exercise helps maintain sharp thinking, learning, and decision-making skills as you age, while also controlling weight, reducing risks of depression and anxiety, and improving sleep quality. More importantly, daily light exercise significantly lowers the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. For seniors, daily activity improves bodily function and increases chances of longevity.

According to CDC research, over 25% of Americans do not engage in any physical activity outside of work. Researchers recommend that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. Though 150 minutes may sound daunting, the DC1 under-desk bike helps you make use of any spare moments, allowing you to easily work toward your health goals, even with a busy schedule.

Compact & Ready to Use.

With its low-profile design, the DC1 has a pedal height of just 24cm. It’s ready to use straight out of the box, requiring no installation. It fits easily under your desk, seamlessly blending into your workspace. At under 30dB, the noise is so quiet it won’t interfere with conference calls, making it the perfect office health companion.

Self-Powered,
No Limits to Your Workout.

The advanced permanent magnet DC motor and worm gear system inside DC1 turn kinetic energy from pedaling into electricity. Your pedaling not only powers the device but also charges the built-in 1000mAh lithium battery, ensuring you can exercise anywhere without being dependent on an outlet.

A Cardio Assistant for All Ages.

The 160W motor provides consistent resistance, ensuring that all 10 resistance levels are precise and effective, meeting the needs of users across all age groups for daily exercise.

Burn 216 kcal in 45 minutes.

Roughly the same as a 500ml soda — just by pedaling.

Levels 1–3

Ideal for light warm-ups or rehabilitation exercises, similar to a gentle walk, perfect for low-intensity daily workouts.

Levels 4–6

Suitable for moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, akin to a slow jog, helping improve cardiovascular health and stamina.

Levels 7–10

Great for higher-intensity aerobic training, simulating light cycling, building muscle endurance and cardiovascular fitness.

Safe and Low Impact Exercise

A. Adjust Distance and Position

Place the DC1 close to your body and pedal using the balls of your feet. When the pedal reaches its lowest point, your knee should be vertically aligned with the center of the pedal to improve pedaling efficiency. If the device is positioned too far away, the effort tends to shift to your calves and feet, increasing fatigue.

B. Set the Proper Seat Height 

Ensure that:
Your thigh does not touch the seat when the pedal is at the lowest point.
Your knee does not contact the underside of the desk at the highest point.

C. Maintain the Right Knee Angle

For optimal comfort and power, your knee angle should be:
Approximately 60°–70° at the top of the stroke
Approximately 80°–85° at the bottom
This range supports smooth and efficient pedaling.

D. Apply Downward Force for Stability

Pedaling downward improves overall stability and enhances the activation of your thigh muscles.

E. Supports Bidirectional Pedaling

DC1 supports both forward and reverse pedaling to suit different training goals.

Inertia-Free Design for Smooth,
Joint-Friendly Pedaling.

The inertia-free design ensures each pedal stroke is smooth and natural. When you stop, the pedal stops instantly, preventing the sudden deceleration and slippage common in traditional flywheel designs. This reduces strain on your knees and ankles, protecting your joints and minimizing the risk of injury.

Advanced Cycling Simulation,
for a Real Experience.

Our proprietary cycling resistance algorithm uses precise mathematical models and real-time datacalculations to simulate outdoor wind resistance and slope changes, providing a smoother, more immersivecycling experience.

Smart ERG Mode,
Auto-Adjusting Resistance.

The ERG mode uses precise cadence monitoring technology to automatically adjust the resistance based on your pedaling rhythm, ensuring every workout stays at the optimal intensity for efficient results. There’s no need to focus on adjusting resistance—let the DC1 match your rhythm, so you can focus on your work while getting fit.

Track Your Progress with
8 Key Data Points.

The DC1 tracks 8 key data points: instant power, average power, cadence, total revolutions, time, calories, virtual speed, and virtual distance. The built-in 2ms per second high-precision Hall sensor captures data at high frequency, ensuring each pedal stroke is recorded accurately. This helps you fine-tune your training plans and achieve your fitness goals with precision.
