Question 1

What is the desk height recomendation (description says only about deskcycle)?

Accepted Answer

Because of the way the pedals are, you can place your feet higher or lower on them and that lowers your knees (or you can slide it back further). I have fairly long legs and normal desk height was fine for me, in any position.

Question 2

Just wondering how this compares to the Cubii any pros or cons?

Accepted Answer

DeskCycle Ellipse vs Cubii Jr. 
Both are the same price, $249
The DeskCycle Ellipse is a new product by 3D Innovations, LLC. It's internal mechanism is the same as the other DeskCycles which have a 4.6 star rating with over 2000 reviews.

The pedal motion is noticeably smoother on the DeskCycle Ellipse because the effective flywheel weight (40 lbs) is higher.

The DeskCycle Ellipse has a wider resistance range. There is considerably more resistance on the higher settings.

DeskCycle display window is larger and displays more functions. It also keeps track of up more than 10 times the time and distance of the Cubii.

The DeskCycle Ellipse comes with a display stand which lets you place the display on your desktop if you choose.

The DeskCycle Ellipse pedals are lower and more forward than the Cubii, which makes it work better with shorter and shallow desks.

The DeskCycle pedals are over 17 inches long. This lets you control the type of pedal motion by where you place your feet.

The DeskCycle has more precision sealed bearings, including 4 sealed bearings on the pedal shafts. No other desk elliptical has sealed bearings on their pedal shafts. Sealed bearings make pedal motion smoother and more quiet.

The DeskCycle includes free web-based activity tracking software. 
An iPhone App will be available in March. 
An external Bluetooth interface will be available in the Spring. It will work with all previous and existing DeskCycles. The

Cubii is made in China. The DeskCycle is made in Taiwan.

Question 3

Do the pedals move without force being applied to them?

Accepted Answer

On the lowest setting, they pretty much move with no effort at all, so I would have to say yes they move without force being applied to them

Question 4

The web-based calculator asks for distance in order to do the calculations, but the Ellipse doesn’t show distance on the display. Ideas?

Accepted Answer

We simply sit at our desk with our chair and pedal the unit.  We have not used any distance measures.  Not sure where and why this is referenced.
