The under-desk elliptical market is dominated by two major players: Cubii (often $200-$300) and DeskCycle ($150-$200). The Lidl MotionCiser usually retails for €29.99 to €39.99 ($35 to $45 USD). How does it hold up?
| Feature | Lidl MotionCiser (Crivit) | Cubii Go | DeskCycle | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Price | ~$40 | ~$250 | ~$160 | | Resistance Type | Magnetic (Dial) | Magnetic (Digital app) | Magnetic (Dial) | | Noise Level | Near Silent | Silent | Very Quiet | | Stride Length | 6 inches | 5.5 inches | 8 inches | | Weight Limit | Not specified (110 kg est.) | 136 kg | 136 kg | | Bluetooth/App | No | Yes | No | | Pedal Direction | Forward only | Forward/Reverse | Forward only |
The Verdict: The Lidl MotionCiser loses on app integration and stride length. However, at 1/6th the price of a Cubii, it offers 90% of the functionality. For the average user who just wants to move their legs while on Zoom calls, the Lidl version is the undisputed value king.
The Silvercrest Motion Rider is an exercise machine designed to simulate the movement of horse riding. It consists of a saddle-style seat mounted on a mechanical base.

"I bought this because I couldn't justify $200 for a Cubii. Honestly, it changed my work-from-home life. I went from 3,000 steps a day to 12,000 steps without leaving my desk. My Apple Watch confirms the calorie burn is legit." — Sarah, Remote Accountant
"It's a little smaller than I expected. I'm 6'2" and my knees come up too high. My wife loves it, but it's not for tall people." — Mark, Graphic Designer
"The digital display broke after 2 months, but the pedals still work fine. For 30 euros, I don't care. I just use my watch." — Lidl Fan Forum user MotionCiser Lidl vs
Scouring Reddit (r/Lidl, r/Fitness), Trustpilot, and deal forums reveals a largely positive consensus.
The Good (4 out of 5 stars):
"I bought this because I work from home and my legs fall asleep by 2 PM. The motorized mode is a game changer. I can just set it to '1' and it passively moves my legs while I type. My step count has gone from 2k to 10k without me noticing." – Sarah, London
"For 80 euros, this is a steal. The Cubii is a ripoff. Build is solid, remote works perfectly. Only downside is you need a high desk or you will knee yourself." – Mark, Berlin
The Bad:
"The motor died after 4 months of heavy use (8 hours a day). Lidl refunded me quickly because of the warranty, but it was a hassle to take it back to the store." – Tom, Dublin
"The foot straps are pointless. They come undone every 5 minutes. I had to replace them with velcro straps from a hardware store." – Anna, New York (via import)
