The desk bike V9 that arrived at the editorial department looks like this. The size of the outer box was 82 cm × 32 cm × 81 cm.
The weight of the main body is about 34.5 kg, so I decided to carefully assemble it with two people.
Taking out the contents looks like this. A desk, a pedal cover, a hexagon bolt, and an instruction manual were pasted on the Styrofoam frame that wrapped the main body.
I will assemble it at once. After taking out the main body, first open the four legs with casters.
When you fully open the legs, you will hear a 'click' sound.
When all four legs are fully opened, the main body will be able to stand on its own.
Next, raise the folded pedals.
A 'click' sound was heard and the pedal was fixed.
By pulling the lever that was installed inside the pedal, it is possible to fold the pedal again.
After attaching the desk to the main body ......
Secure the desk with hexagon bolts.
Use the supplied hex wrench to tighten the bolts firmly so that they do not come loose.
Desk Bike V9 basically does not require an external power supply, but it does require two AA batteries to power the display monitor. There is a battery box in the round recess that serves as a cup holder. When the batteries are inserted correctly, an electronic beep will sound and a number will be displayed on the liquid crystal panel.
Close the battery box and place a rubber coaster on top to create a space for drinks and small items. The dial under the liquid crystal panel is a load adjustment knob that changes the load of the pedal.
Finally, put the rubber cover over the pedal. Assembly is now complete. Although it took two people, it took less than 30 minutes from opening the box to finishing the assembly.
The completed FlexiSpot Deskcise Pro desk bike V9 looks like this. The width is 89 cm and the depth is 59 cm.
The size of the desk including the armrest is 50cm x 58cm. It is wide enough to put A4 size materials and a notebook PC together. The load capacity of the desk is 40 kg or less.
Since the support of the desk has a built-in gas spring, the height of the desk can be adjusted steplessly by moving the desk up and down while pressing the lever on the right side. On the official website, the movable range of the desk was 108 cm to 123 cm, but when I actually measured it, the height from the floor of the desk was 88 cm to 125 cm.
In addition, the desk can be moved in a range of 20 cm back and forth while pressing the lever on the left side.
By pressing the lever at the rear of the saddle, the saddle height can be adjusted steplessly within the range of 75cm to 95cm. The gas pressure is quite strong, so it's a good idea to sit down and put your weight on it while adjusting it.
I put a plastic bottle of juice in the cup holder. Since the coaster is made of rubber, the items placed on it will not slip. However, since the depth of the cup holder is 1 cm to 2 cm, it is better to put the lid firmly when placing the plastic bottle.
Press the key button and the meter display will appear. Each time you press a key button, time, speed, distance, calories burned, total distance, and pedal rotation speed are displayed. Also, when 4 minutes have passed since the exercise was stopped, the meter display will automatically disappear.
The length of the pedal crank is about 13 cm, and it rotates smoothly without any catching.
The caster attached to the foot part is 'gravity brake caster', and it is designed to be locked when force is applied from above. Even when I actually straddled the saddle and pedaled or put my weight on the desk as a standing desk, the desk bike V9 body did not shift and move.
The desk bike V9 is said to be compatible with heights from 150 cm to 190 cm, so I asked a female editorial staff with a height of 150 cm to come while working on a PC.
If you look at the movie below, you can see how you are actually riding the desk bike V9. The sound of the pedal is quite quiet, and the key touch sound is clearly audible. It does not interfere with your work.
The load adjustment knob is hard, and it is a little difficult for women to turn with one hand.
Desk Bike V9 can also be used as a standing desk by lowering the saddle to the bottom and sliding the desk all the way to the front. When he actually operated a smartphone or a notebook PC on the desk, he said that he could use it without any problems.
When other editorial staff also used it, ``If you sit for a long time, you tend to want to move your body because of poor blood flow, but with a desk bike, you are exercising all the time, so you calm down. There is also a voice saying that although I am a little conscious of my feet, if I keep the load low, I will be able to concentrate on the work as soon as I find the pace.
The desk bike V9 is compatible with heights from 150 cm to 190 cm, and the editorial staff with a height of 181 cm used the highest desk. When asked how comfortable it was to use, he said, ``I can work without problems.
Next, an editorial staff with a height of 170 cm who usually rides a road bike was asked to work while pedaling for about an hour while measuring heart rate and calorie consumption with Apple Watch.
The instructions said, ``Recommended intensity 1 to 4 for light exercise such as stress relief, warm-up and cool-down,'' so I decided to set the load to 4 and start rowing. The editorial staff who was testing continued to pedal without difficulty, but ``Since the bicycle can coast by
``My body is getting warmer,'' so I unbuttoned all the buttons on my shirt and rolled up the hem of my trousers. Then, after 30 minutes, increase the load intensity from 4 to 5.
After another 40 minutes, load intensity goes from 5 to 6. 'I've been sweating a lot,' the shirt is completely taken off.
Continue pedaling at load intensity 6 for 15 minutes, then cool down while gradually lowering the load in the last 5 minutes, completing the 1-hour desk bike work. Using the Desk Bike V9 as a standing desk, I take a deep breath on my shoulder and check my heart rate on my Apple Watch.
I just saw the result in the '
Next, looking at the heart rate graph, there was no big change in the heart rate in the first half when the load intensity was 4, and the heart rate increased sharply around 30 to 40 minutes when the load intensity was increased to 5 to 6. You can see that it is rising. The average heart rate was 126.
I checked the heart rate even in '
When I asked the editorial staff who had been pedaling for an hour, 'How was the important work while exercising?' The work is a little tough. Also, if you keep pedaling with a heavy load, the desk will shake a little, so it may not be suitable for delicate work.If you're watching TV, it doesn't seem to be a problem.' . If you work and exercise at the same time, it's a good idea to set the resistance lower as recommended.
Desk Bike V9 allows you to exercise while working at home, so it is recommended for people who tend to make excuses that they can't exercise because they have too much to do at home. It is very easy to assemble and does not require a power cable etc., so it is quite easy to move and clean up the room. It is also a point that you can use it without choosing the time because it is also quiet. It can also be used as a standing desk, so you can fully expect it to be used as a work desk even when you are not exercising.
FlexiSpot Deskcise Pro V9 is also available on Amazon.co.jp and is available for 56,800 yen including tax.
