Flexispot Sit2Go 2-in-1 fitness chair review rating
Generalize
The Flexispot Sit2Go 2-in-1 is a more comfortable alternative than Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro, if you especially want to use a desk bike all day while working on a sit-stand desk.
advantage
- Far more comfortable than Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro, suitable for all-day use
- Ideal for sit-stand tables
shortcoming
- 99.8kg/220lbs/15st 10lbs maximum recommended weight limit is easily exceeded
- If you are tall, it may not be suitable for peddling
I used to have Reviewed Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro, I found this to be a great way to improve overall activity levels while working or relaxing.
This model is equipped with its own desk, allowing you to work with a laptop while riding a bicycle.But if you already have Sitting desk, You may not need desk accessories, and the Sit2Go 2-in-1 fitness chair may be an excellent solution for many people.
I will serve as a preface to this review, emphasizing that if you plan to work and ride a bike, Sit2Go 2-in-1 will require a sit-stand table. This is obvious from the picture, but it is not suitable for placing under an ordinary table with space for peddling.
Sit2Go 2-in-1 fitness chair vs Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro
To me, Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro is more like a bike converted into a bench bike, and Sit2Go 2-in-1 is more like a chair with a peddling.
The main difference is that the Sit2Go 2-in-1 fitness chair does not have any form of table, but has a larger seat with backrest. The seat is very important here, because the seat of the Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro is very much like an indoor exercise bike. I don’t mind it too much, because I have been cycling a lot, but it is small and strong, so sitting on it all day may make many people feel uncomfortable.
It is worth noting that there is a considerable difference in the load-bearing capacity of the two bicycles. Sit2Go weighs only 99.8 kg, so it weighs 220 pounds or 15 stones and 10 pounds. I have a slim body of 6 feet 1 inch and weigh only 14 years old, so anyone older than me can easily exceed the limit.
The rated weight of Cycle Desk Bike is 136Kg, which is 21 shi 6 lbs or 300 lbs.
I’m not 100% sure why there is such a big difference, but I suspect this may be due to the backrest.
set up
Compared with Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro, this requires more work to assemble.
With this, the seat is not fixed in place, so you need to bolt the seat cushion and backrest. Bicycles are designed with threaded screws, similar to ordinary bicycles, and Cycle Desk is pre-installed with pedals.
The wheels are pre-fixed, you only need to stretch out your hind legs, which is very stiff.
In total, it took me about 10 minutes to unpack and assemble.
In use / height adjustment / comfort
I am 6 feet 1 foot tall, with a full seat height, and I can sell it comfortably. My legs are a bit above the horizontal line, so it is not technically suitable for cycling, but for those designed for low-intensity riding, this will not be a problem. People who are much taller than me may find that their legs are too far beyond the parallel line to ride comfortably-if you are much taller than me, weight-bearing capacity is more likely to be a problem.
For reference, the adjustable range of seat height for two bicycles is:
- Sit2Go 2 in 1 – 56.9-80cm
- Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro – 75.2-94.2cm
At the lowest point, it fits under my fixed-height desk, and my legs won’t press under the desk.
I am already very healthy, so like Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro, this is not the kind of thing I can sweat. My heart rate has not risen significantly. However, sitting at your desk for long periods of time is not good for you. This provides another solution for standing at a sit-stand desk. If anything, I prefer to stand, and I can sit there and do my work, peddling gently, as an alternative to fidgeting.
Compared with Cycle Desk Bike V9, this bike has much better all-day comfort. The seat is bigger, the padding is softer, and you have back support. It is not as comfortable as a good-quality office chair, but it is sufficient for all-day use.
Just like a bench bike, its pedal rotation time is very short, so peddling is a common experience at first. The resistance can be surprisingly high. I have quite a high output power on an ordinary bicycle and I like the high resistance with low cadence. Although I have no problem selling the highest resistance with this bike, it is not a comfortable thing I can do while working hard. I found that the above point halfway is feasible for me, as long as there is enough resistance to feel it and make my heart rate a little faster, but not enough to distract me from effort.
Prices and alternatives
The suggested retail price of the Sit2Go 2-in-1 fitness chair is £399.99, but Flexispot is regularly sold without paying the full suggested retail price. Recently, the Halloween sale has a 10% discount.
Amazon is also currently selling for 399 pounds. With the arrival of Black Friday, I expect there will be some nice discounts soon.
The basic Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro has the same RRP, but then £439.99 with a desk. Unless you plan to use a table, I would say that the Sit2Go 2-in-1 is better because the chair is more comfortable.
Competitive solutions are relatively poor, but they are all designed to fit under a normal desk, while the Sit2Go 2-in-1 requires a higher sit-stand desk.
overall
Sit2Go 2-in-1 is another outstanding innovative product of Flyexispot. If you want a desk bike that you plan to use on a sit-stand desk for a whole day, then I think this is a better solution than Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro.
What I like about Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro is that I can use it at night while watching TV and laptop.
I have seen many people use Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro as their main bench bike, but for me, the above two scenarios are the best way to choose the bike that suits you best.
