Greetings,

I need some help finding a suitable recumbent exercise bike for my mother who's approaching the age of 70. Her main goal is to strengthen her legs (she just had PRP injections to both her knees) and hopefully lose a bit of weight in the process.

Can anyone recommend me some suitable models/brands that have local dealers/showrooms, preferably online stores as well that deliver nationwide (we live in J.B).

Thanks in advance.

Crosstrainer as in something like this? Sure, I could suggest it to my mum.

Basically, it has to help her strengthen her legs and be low impact at the same time, since she's already got weak knees - just a step away from knee-replacement surgery until she opted for the injections instead.

Thanks, btw.
