TL;DR Summary

The LifeSpan Ampera is a stationary bike designed to fit under a standing desk and allows users to pedal to power their laptop. While the hardware is well-designed with features like a stable base, adjustable seat, and wireless charging pad, there are some glitches, software issues, and design decisions that hinder its potential. The wide, cushy seat may wear down with heavy use, and the non-cycling attachment makes replacement difficult. Overall, the Ampera offers a unique exercise option for home offices but has room for improvement.
