The following Information was provided to us by Godfather Service about the Cybex UBE

Dear tekyard,
Godfather Service has service support & parts for this EXCELLENT Upper Body Ergometer. The UBE cost almost $2,700 new and has incredible features. Physical Therapists nota bene- this UBE gives the full resistance & capability WHEN PEDALING BACKWARDS(as well as forward, of course) without any switching or control manipulation!!

The comfortable one piece seat adjusts fore and aft and up and down and all settings have reference numbers. The seat is easily removable for wheelchair patients
It has Isokinetic capability which is the principle where the speed or pedal RPM from 30 to 120 RPM is controlled automatically.

This system is totally passive- the patient does all the work BUT, if they feel pain or stop pedaling the arms stop too. There's no dangerous flywheel to keep the arms spinning and the machine never moves the arms by itself. Safety and a maximal workout are the rule with all the CYBEX products.

The UBE is totally hydraulic. NO computers, keypads, electronics, bells and whistles or brake pads/friction belts to eventually break and cost big bucks $$$ to repair.

The hydraulic components are industrial quality and the machine last forever with minimal problems. The hydraulic fluid never needs replacement because it never gets hot enough to wear out- you can?t find a more durable uppercycle anywhere!!!

Greg Rac worked at CYBEX Medical 18 years, 10 as Field Svc/Phone Support Tech and 8 years as the Technical Trainer for all CYBEX Medical products, in Ronkonkoma NY. He is the single most qualified and knowledgeable person about this equipment and it's upkeep.

Godfather Service 877 365 6902 has a full line of parts and updates for the UBE in stock. We sell mechanical parts, the excellent original manuals and the replacement seat which is a great durable upgrade if you have a brand X uppercycle.

This is a durable pro machine that you'll give to your grandchildren.
