20 Best Outdoor Bikes For Exercise (2022 Updated)

The bike was pretty easy to assemble, with help from the company. The seat is cheaply made I was telling the man on the phone. Staples just under the seat to hold the cover on and creases on the top of seat, near back.

So he said he would just send me another seat, since I was registering the bike as well as him helping me out with putting it together. Ok, but after using it maybe 7 times, the heart monitor was not beating anymore.

Called the company again to ask about it. She explained that the place on the handlebars where you hold to read your heart rate, (silver part) has to come off and be replaced. I’m like ‘Golly geeze’, I haven’t used it much.

How come it stopped working? She told me that it’s a problem with the wires in this type of bike. Anyway, I get an Email saying that because there was an issue already with my bike they were just going to send me out a whole new bike.

WHAT! I tried explaining to her that I just ordered it from QVC and have 30 days if I want to send it back. But the bike had already come to my apt. So she said it’s alright, we’ve already taken care of it, by replacing it.

And that I did not have to call QVC. Ok again, right? So now I’ll have to put the new 1 together. Not so easy having RRMS. But that’s how it went with me and my cute little fold up bike. I do like the bike, because it folds up easily and has wheels to put it out the way.

I will be keeping it. Thanks.

I was very pleased, and relieved at how easy it was to assemble. After I had it assembled, I came across the assembly video on QVC, go figure. One thing I want to mention, is that after I had it completely assembled, I was not able to get it to open up so I could sit on it.

It comes in the storage/folded position. After literally hours of researching how it should open, watching the videos at least 50 times, I finally took out the bolt that holds the knob that you’re supposed to turn slightly, and pull out so the bike slides into different positions.

Well, mine would NOT change positions. I gave the knob a turn and pulled on the knob which did pull out about 3/4 of an inch, but the bike would not budge. So I laid it on it’s side and I totally unscrewed this bolt, and the bike was easy to put in any position I wanted while it was lying on it’s side.

So then I put the bolt back in. Tah Dah! Hopefully, the peg that was sticking on the inside will not stick anymore. Boy, wish I had totally removed that knob hours earlier. I love this bike! It’s silent while pedaling and is so comfortable.

I’m 67 and have broken 2 of my vertebrae years ago from a fall. No pain no matter how many miles I pedal. I got the turquoise color. Now I’ll be pedaling inside instead of walking in the cold and snow to come in Michigan.

I like the the settings available on the digital read out. Semi recumbent position is my favorite position, while holding onto the handles next to the large soft seat.

I was able to quickly assemble my bike without too much trouble. It looks amazing, feels amazing to use, and was in perfect condition. I am 6′-2″ 185 lb, so there are probably bigger users out there, but I could go at an all out sprint without any wobble.

Also, the big turf wheels are an AWESOME touch. I hate the tiny wheels on the other brands. With these wheels, my wife could roll it up the step from our garage into the house alone if we want to work out inside.

It’s worth noting that the resistance on this first version of the Titan bike is a little lower than Assault or Xebex fan bikes. If you’re not competitive with CrossFit or anything like that, I’m not sure you would care about this, but it was obvious to me and several other users right away that it has an “easier” start up resistance than the others.

I assume the fan blades are just slightly smaller and/or lighter, although they did look very similar. That said, it’s still going to be extremely difficult to hold a fast pace on this bike, considering resistance increases with speed.

This is not a dealbreaker by any means for the vast majority of people, but it was for me. I didn’t want to ship it back, so I sold it new to someone who was excited to get it at a 10% discount. I did have a couple defects/missing parts that I’m sure Titan would take care of, but I figured them out on my own.

First, one of the pedals was almost impossible to attach to the crank with the small tools provided. Luckily I have bike lube and a bike pedal wrench (for mountain bike maintenance) and it went on easy with the proper tools.

Second, there was a slight bump/catch inside the seat post sleeve blocking the seat post from dropping below height 4. It was from a weld that bled through and was very insignificant, so I was able to carefully file it down and the seat post slid right in.

Again, it worked fine but the average person who doesn’t have tools like this laying around would have had issues. Also, I was missing the two M8 bolts for the bottle cage. Again, I’m sure Titan would happily supply any missing parts so no big deal there!.

Solid built bike, it’s a little smaller than other brands so if you are a little shorter like me (5’9”) it’s a nice fit. It has all the features of other name brand bikes, plus the wheels make it easy to move around if you need to.

The only two negatives for me is the seat is not comfortable at all, but I haven’t found a fan bike that has a comfortable seat so that is par for the course. Also the clear plastic wheel inside of the fan cage that allows the magnetic counter to count your rpm, calories etc is held on by three metal clips.

Those all came off with in the first couple of work outs and I had to disassemble the cage and reattach those. That’s not a big deal for me but might be for others. Over all this is a great piece of workout equipment.

Solid construction, and it saves you a few hundred bucks. I would recommend this to anyone who is building a gym.

The shipping was prompt and the packaging was fantastic. The assembly and instructions were flawless. I had watched comparison reviews on YouTube of this product with similar (popular) brands, and the “negatives” that were given in the reviews were purely opinion, and laughable.

Ex: A review said the bike would “shake” if used with explosive force. In the case of MY bike, that was try false. This is a sturdy, well-oiled machine and I absolutely love it. I bought a heart rate monitor (polar chest monitor) and it automatically connects and gives accurate data.

I pinch pennies, and this was one splurge that was worth it.

So, I’m a physically lazy near 50 year old and, with covid, gained a few more pounds. It was getting harder/more painful to go up and down the stairs. I work from home, so its easy to not exercise and I needed to make a change – lose a bit of weight, get some cardio into my routine, and just exercise generally so my knees and ankles don’t ache.

I did a lot of research, watched a lot of videos, and talked to a few people about their experiences with the Velocore. I wanted something that would keep my attention and to get the kids involved too.

My wife wanted a Peloton, but I didn’t after riding and seeing what their content was (not my style of thing to do), so I needed to find a good alternative. I’m pleased to say, the Velocore is a solid competitor to the Peloton bikes and more.

My whole family loves it and we’ve used it almost daily since it arrived. I even miss it when I skip. The options for Netflix, etc. are great for my son and me and we can stay in the adaptive zones as we go through each session.

My Daughter uses the tours and workouts more aggressively with the lean mode. I’ve used it a couple times and will use more as I get better with my balance. The session feedback on distance, how well we stayed in the zone, heart rate (it comes with a bluetooth heart rate monitor), and other stats are easy to interpret and keep us on track.

I fully expected to be sore from the workouts, but so far, only my butt is sore from the seat (may have to look at a seat more suited to this old man). The workouts are challenging, but not unattainable.

I do break out in a sweat each day. Most importantly, I’m improving both on the bike and in real life. the achiness, the ankle/knee pains are a little better too. The apps work great, there are some ‘shadows’ in the video streams, but I think this is due to the wi-fi coverage in my basement more than problems with the Velocore.

I’m sure I made the right choice and thanks for making a great bike!.

The Bowflex C6 Bike is excellent as an indoor bike. The set up is easy, the bike adjusts comfortably, and the screen gives great data while riding. Additionally, the magnetic flywheel feels very natural and works great.

Overall, the ride feels comparable to the high-end bikes I’ve ridden in gyms. However, I have had a major issue with my bike rusting. I keep it indoors, never open my windows, and clean the bike carefully & thoroughly with gym wipes after each ride, but it still rusted terribly within the first few months of use.

Bowflex customer service was very helpful and sent me several replacement parts. After a few more months with these replacement parts, both the replacement hardware and the initial parts that weren’t rusted have also begun rusting severely.

I bought this bike as an investment for my home gym that I hoped would last several years, but the rust problem is quite severe and will definitely limit the life of the bike. I have several other pieces of gym equipment and a Trek bike that I also use in my apartment, and none of these items have rusted, so I think there’s something going on specifically with the C6 materials.

I used to be a spinning instructor and have worked in several gyms, and wish I had invested in gym-grade equipment that is intended to be rust-proof.

Having been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 16 years ago, working out has not always been good for me. So now in Northern Vermont it’s time to start switching from outdoor bike rides to an indoor activity.

I researched several indoor possibilities and chose the Fan bike. I’m only 5 foot 4 inches so fit was a concern. The assault bike Pro was my final choice. I made the right choice. The bike was easy to assemble, once I got it in from the driveway where the Fed Ex person “dumped” it off, which was no easy feat for this 71 year old guy.

I’ve been slowly making the transition to it over the last few weeks while still getting in my outdoor rides. No HIIT yet but I will eventually work up to that. The bike just fits me with the seat lowered all the way.

It is so smooth to ride and easy to control the level of intensity. The build quality is impressive. I did change out the seat for more comfort. Thank you Assault for making such an excellent bike and at a reasonable price.

This bike is as close to gym quality you’ll get without spending much, much more. I’m looking forward to increasing my workout times and intensity over the coming weeks. I would say to anyone who’s “on the fence” about getting the Assaultbike Pro, I don’t think you can go wrong with this bike.

Good news first. This machine has become an industry standard and you can find a good workout on it for sure! Even better, it’s sturdy and doesn’t seem like it will require much care. The bad things are: if your 6’1” or taller the seat post may not go high enough.

There is detectable play in the parts that adjust, even when the adjusters are tight. It’s plenty strong, but I find the low tolerances annoying. The Bluetooth/ant connectivity doesn’t work well. I was provided a list of comparable devices AFTER purchase and the latest Garmin stuff (which is both Bluetooth and ANT) doesn’t pair.

This incompatibility is a big deal for me and probably would have changed my decision to buy. Lastly, if youre like us and your workout has you mounting and dismounting a spinning bike frequently, you need to be super careful! This thing has ‘bit’ most everyone I know.

I’m not sure this is an approved way to use the machine, but there are simple fixes for some of the liabilities and they havent been made.

March 2021 – just to be clear I am not one for leaving negative reviews. From having worked in industries with the general public I am well aware that most reviews are only written in a negative manner and can be extremely misleading however Assault Fitness have left me with little choice.

Also, my issue here is not with the bike, it’s with the warranty. I bought the Assault Airbike Classic in May 2020 and have used it most days and have never had any issues until now. I have even recommended the Assault Bike to numerous friends which will no longer be the case.

I went to use it last week and there was a loud noise coming from the pedal area when I slow the bike down. I checked all the nuts and bolts were tight which everything seemed to be. I emailed assault fitness customer services with a video of the problem and they replied in decent time.

It was suggested the chain had become lose, they sent me videos on how to tighten it which seemed simple enough. It then became clear that the assembly tools that arrived with the assault bike did not fit the bolts needing adjusted and I would have to buy tools to do this, which I did.

After following the videos I tightened the chain – no improvement with the issue at hand! So now I am a few dollars down and no further forward. Another email to assault fitness – they respond saying it now sounds like the fan is hitting the guard which I replied saying it is not.

I received another email back saying they have sent a part out but I need yet another tool to fix it and because I did not buy the ‘elite assault bike’ they will not send anyone out to look at it. They also suggested it is not an unreasonable request to take my bike to a bike shop so they can lend me the tool to use at their facility which is laughable for anyone who has felt the weight of these bikes.

The other option available was they would find someone local to be to give me an estimation of cost to fix. To be clear I would be the one covering the cost. So basically my warranty covers Assault Fitness sending parts, me buying tools and me stripping my bike down piece by piece until I find the problem and fix it with the help of YouTube videos.

My bike has now sat for the best part of a week gathering dust unused. To conclude. I am no further forward after nearly a week of the issue arising, I have no idea how much money I am going to have spent on tools by the time Assault Fitness customer service team actually guess correctly and pin point what the actual problem is.

I have never bought anything in the past that is ‘under warranty’ that I have ever had to fix myself. If anything, this would usually make the warranty void if you tamper with a bought product yourself.

I use it in the winter to compliment my good weather riding on my outdoor recumbent. It is very smooth riding and has more than enough resistant levels. The one problem I have with it is the difficulty moving it from room to room (living room TV watching to storage in spare bedroom).

I have a bad back and can’t lift it onto it’s casters, so I improved it by adding four casters (on the ends of the stabilizers). They are 2 in. rubber casters (two fixed and two locking-swivel). The bike is still very stable, even on hardwood floors.

Even for people with good backs, it is much easier and safer to move around. It takes more room to store, but it’s not a deal breaker for me.

Wife had second knee replacement resulting in stress on back. P/T advised against walking & switch to recumbent bike, causing search for quality equipment with desired features. Nautilus R618 came out on top for features, reliability, & value, after exploring RB’s from several P/T-gym-home use mfgr’s.

Other mfgr’s in same space had 25%-30% customer dissatisfaction or seemed overpriced. Wife loves her R618. Pros: 1. Very well made & sturdy from welds, component wall thickness & strength, pedals, & bike mechanism.

, 2. Adjustable seatback critical for wife’s needs. Infinite dampened slide adjustment means she can place it exactly where she needs. , 3. Easy entry & exit with no lifting of leg required. , 4. Features of 3 spd fan, speakers, Blue Tooth, Ride Social App compatible.

, 5. Quiet operation compared to typical home gym models. , 6. Assembly was not bad and instructions were good & easy to follow. It does take a couple of hours. , 7. Shipping was prompt via FedEx Ground.

Cons: 1. As expected with better quality, the bike is a little heavier than many: however wheels do permit easy rolling on hard surfaces, but not so easy on heavy pile carpet. , 2. Parts were generally wrapped & well protected; however Styrofoam holders/dividers were essentially shattered in the box.

Surprisingly all was OK. Use of Styrofoam should be canned for many reasons. , 3. The LCD screen readout graphics looks like it is from the 1990’s. Large white block letters/numbers are really “horsey”.

On the positive side they are large & easy to read. , 4. Electrical LCD connection assembly process can be improved by first removing the rubber band at top of stand, to permit easier connection to base.

The rubber band functions as a spring making connector mating challenging with one person assembly AND is stuffing cable into upper neck for LCD install. This is the only time I needed a 2nd pair of hands.

It is hard to rate this purchase because I am both pleased and disappointed. I was excited when I saw the thak you card from the company president upon opening the box. What a nice extra touch! But sad when I found they couldn’t even keep up the $10 per year domain name to let you know their app is defunct.

And of course there is the realization that this company has a corner on this level of fitness equipment (owning Nautilus, Schwinn, Bowflex, and more) so why should they put forth the effort? Despite the extreme cost difference, I would have looked longer at Peloton if I’d known.

But, moving past my dismay to what matters most, as a 63 year old female not in the best shape, I put the bike together myself quite effortlessly. That is not to say that it is not quite heavy at near 100 pounds, but the instructions were clear for the most part.

One thing I would add is that, when installing the seat bottom, screw the two roads in at the front first, or it will be difficult (if not impossible) to line the screw holes up. In all cases, the best idea when installing multiple screws in a section is to apply all the screws loosely, then tighten all after everything is lined up for that section.

As a final fuss, I wish the power cord was less flimsy/more substantial. Functionally, the bike is quiet, smooth and comfortable. The fan has little power, and this is a big deal because wouldn’t it be wonderful to feel the wind in your hair as you ride, almost real IF THERE WERE AN APP to elicit the illusion.

Rant over, I expect to appreciate the bike this year, and next year if I’ve done well with goals I may upgrade for more excitement.

I decided to purchase this bike after an exhaustive searching and researching spin bikes. After a hiatus from fitness, I remember very well what a quality bike should look like. The 1805 met every checkbox I had and the price was great.

It’s sturdy, has all the functionality I wanted, and combined with an HR monitor, cadence monitor, and Peloton App I can get an exceptional cardio workout right from my own home! Another bike I considered where the L1 Spinner.

I wanted durable, low maintenance, and a no-frills experience. Something reminiscent of the various gym spin bikes of the past. This bike has met and exceeded all my expectations. A great investment in myself and with COVID, turned me onto a home gym option which I never had considered in the past.

I researched every bike out there and kept coming back to this one. Similar design to the Keiser with the light weight rear fly wheel without the hefty price tag. Great design and sturdy. My wife and I got setup with the Peloton app for $12.

99/mo and so happy we don’t have to go to the gym anymore. The only issue I’ve had is the performance monitor doesn’t always register (will not turn on) when the pedals start moving if we haven’t used the bike after a few hours or days.

I found that I have to remove the batteries from the performance monitor after we use the bike and put the batteries back in when we want to use it. So that is my only negative thing about the bike. I’m not sure if there is a solution for this issue.

I started looking into other wireless bluetooth cadence and speed monitors except some are quite pricey, nor do I know if it will work properly by attaching to the flywheel if the flywheel goes at a higher speed than a regular bike the data will be inaccurate.

All in all, I can deal with the performance monitor not working as the rest of the bike works fine. I even found some nice camera bracket on Amazon to attach my iPad to use with my Peloton app, etc.

I recently bought 2 SF-B1805 spinning bikes on Black Friday. I had read a lot of reviews and was a little afraid to order any bike after reading various problems that people have with any brand bike.

This Sunny Model seemed to have a good percentage of positive reviews and was mentioned in one or two top bike reviews for 2019 so I decided to place an order for two. I can say that the units I received were meticulously packaged to prevent damage as they arrived in pristine condition via Amazon.

Cartons weighed 137 lbs each and everything was included (tools) to assemble. Assembly time was about 40 minutes. Bikes are VERY solid and whisper quiet. This model is very comparable to a bike you would ride at a spinning class at a gym.

Resistance is more than adequate for all riders. Bike remains very stable with very little sway or side to side movement even when standing and “climbing”. rock solid. The seat is reasonably padded and comfortable.

Only shortcoming on the bike that I can see so far is that the seat slide design limits how far forward you can adjust and might be a problem for shorter riders around 5 feet or less height. Hoping that durability will be good with no problems for at least a year or two.

time will tell. I’d recommend for anyone considering a low to medium priced bike.

After going to spin classes at my local spin club I learned spin is an awesome workout. I was having a hard time making it to classes with work (they ran the exact hours that I was at work) so I started researching spin bikes.

I was looking for a mid range price and saw this one on sale. So far it is great. It feels sturdy when standing and the flywheel feels smooth. I love that it came with SPD pedals already so I didn’t have to buy new pedals for it.

I thought the computer wasnt connecting at first but learned the sensor had to be super close to the magnet on the flywheel. No problems at all. Like another user said I wouldn’t pay the full price for this bike but the sale price is reasonable.

Tension goes in small increments and is very controllable. I was worried the tension would go up too quick but that’s not the case. Overall great Spin bike for home.

I am so pleased with the L9 Spinning Bike. It is so quiet and sturdy. It was simple to assemble and the ride is so smooth! I have only worked with a chain driven bike previously but the belt is so quiet and smooth.

I taught Spin for 25 years so I did not feel the need to attach the Tablet Mount and take a class. I have been riding every day since I received my bike and I couldn’t be happier!!!.

The bike is a good beginner bike, and depending on what features you are looking for could cover all your needs. The front wheels make moving it easy. The bike seat is well padded and comfortable and lots of adjustability in the seat and handlebars.

The installation instructions are confusing and often contradictory, and could easily be rewritten for better clarification. Assembly is not difficult and fairly logical if you have experience putting items together.

The one disappointment is in the bio reader. It has limited functionality, is only in US metrics and the instructions for attaching to the bike were far too generic, as it was a one size fit all across many different models of bike.

I emailed for support and got no useful help back. Eventually I was able to jerryrig something, not sure how long it will last.

Overall the bike is not bad. But there are some issues that I seem to be bothered by. First off, the resistance levels are not linear across the 20 available settings. It seems like there is no resistance until you get to level 15 or so.

Now I am not saying there is insufficient resistance because level 18-20 can wear you out pretty fast. So the issue lies when you try to use the different program profiles. They start off with no resistance for such a long time you are just bored out of your mind by the time it begins to put any resistance against you.

This is even with pressing the level up buttons until it won’t let you go any further. I find myself just running it in manual mode. Second, maybe it’s just me but it seems like the seat back is reclined a little too far.

I ended up flipping the seat back because the padding is tapered and it decreased the recline when I did this. The lower handlebar that reads your pulse rate is mounted a little too low for me and is uncomfortable.

The forward handlebars are in a completely useless place because you have to stand up just to reach them. I don’t know what they are for. Now the good, I have a knee that gets irritated quite easily and I have no problem on this equipment.

Maybe in part because even though the “Q” factor on exercise bikes seem to be quite large, Sole made the pedals angled such that you don’t feel bow-legged when peddling. The build quality also seems good.

I bought the Sole R92 Recumbent Bike, including the fee for having it assembled in the room of my choice. I was glad that I paid extra for the assembly service because there were a lot of parts. I primarily bought the recumbent bike to put more emphasis on leg strength in my workout.

After going through the manual, it was fairly easy to set up and get started. There are a variety of programs from which to choose and I was not interested in any interactive programs. Interestingly, I find that if I’m feeling tired or unmotivated, it’s still easy to put in 30 minutes on the bike.

I am very happy with my purchase and the company.

The delivery and setup process for my Sole R92 were excellent experiences. I’m using the bike for total knee replacement rehab and general fitness, and the machine is perfect for that. I’ve just used the manual setting so far because of current knee limitations, but hope to try out the programs soon.

I’m very satisfied with the purchase. I’ve used recumbents for years, and they typically wear out in 4 to 5 years. This machine is much better constructed than my prior cycles, and I expect to use it daily for many years.

I’ve had this bike for several months now and ride it every chance I get when I don’t go for an outdoor ride. It works great, it’s sturdy and not jerky at all. I’ve put an iPAd on it, heart monitor and cadence monitor and use the peloton classes without a hitch and at a much lower cost than the peloton or their subscription service.

It’s helped me lose 55lbs within the last 9 months. I highly recommend this bike. Thanks SunnyHealth, you’ve helped me achieve my health and physical goals for a better lifestyle.

I was very hopeful for this bike, however, it was obvious that some of the materials seemed cheap. I had some issues with the handles going in properly and getting stuck while trying to adjust the height.

I figured it wouldn’t be a big issue because I was the only person riding so it didn’t need to be adjusted. During my second ride, the right pedal came off completely when I stood up during my ride (I’m 120lbs)! I was shocked.

I spent over an hour trying to thread the pedal back in with no luck. I am completely frustrated with the bike (especially because I bought an online cycling package for the month). Now the bike is completely unusable and I am unsure how this issue can be resolved.

Due to the large size of the bike I am also unsure how it can be returned. I needed assistance getting the bike up to the upper level of my unit and it will not fit in my vehicle to be returned. I do not recommend the bike and I hope Sunnyhealth reaches out to help resolve this issue.

Just received it today, and did a quick ride after setting up, once I was able to get my cleats in. Instructions on how to put it together are easy to follow. A small cosmetic piece off the pedal arm broke but no big deal (plastic cover).

The resistance will need some getting used to but this is definitely worth the buy! _x000D_ _x000D_ Aesthetically, it looks great! I am 4′ 11″ (yes, I am short) and I was a little worried because it recommends that your inseam is 29″ at the minimum.

Nothing to worry about! Even at the lowest I still feel like I’m riding low, I’ll have to play around with the seat height a little bit. If you miss taking spin classes, this is a great bike! I was up in 3rd, basically you’re hovering over the seat in a squat position and peddling and it was very comfortable.

_x000D_ _x000D_ Shipping was quick but I also live in Southern California.

Item was pretty easy to put together. Gives a decent workout for quads and hip area. Possible issue with the product as it makes a crunching sound for the left pedal. Also, no speed adjustments for even a slight incline.

Because of the foot paddles, it is a bit cumbersome to stabilize yourself. I am looking into some training wheels! Like the bike but it will require a learning curve.

Everything as said on site. Shipping was really fast and arrived in time for the holidays. The blue color is really nice. I’m glad I found Upzy. No issues everything has been fine.

“Overweight is always problem bothering me. I have fatty liver and got liver fibrosis scan which scored 358 that means I am on stage two: moderate liver scarring. I decide to see what I could do to get back in shape.

I am looking for the convenience of home and love having reliable equipment in my home, something I can get on within minutes. None of this time wasted in doing between home and gym. I have been looking at buying a spin bike back and forth between $200 and $300, but the lack of warranty bothers me.

Finally I bought this bike, it shows 100% warranty, 30 days full refund and 6 month parts free replacement. This spin Bike feels just as stable and smooth, provides good features as well: 1. reduced risk of injury and low impact exercise While running and jogging may present a high risk of injury, but spinning workout won’t put pressure on knees and joints.

Especially applies for my situation: both knees got injured and suffer from arthritis. However, still recommend you to stretch prior to start spinning so that you don’t pull your muscles. 2. You will feel great After 20 or 30 minutes of spinning, you are going to feel great.

After 50 minutes spinning, I burned around 500 calories, which is huge amount. The amount of calories you burned will depend on the intensity of work out. You can adjust your bike according to the intensity you desire.

3. Noise When exercising at home it can be an important consideration that you don’t disturb the other members of your families. Fortunately it is quiet. 4. 35 lbs flywheel, lcd monitor and water bottle holder The large flywheel provides a more realistic workout.

35lbs flywheel helps simulate the ride of a real road bike. It is a big part of a spin bike and it is big difference to other type of exercise bikes. 5. The seat and handbags are adjustable The seat can back and forth as well as up and down.

Nowadays spin bike has become one of the trending exercise machine. Rather than paying for those exercise gym fees, it is better to buy one yourself. It is worth for the money since I have been using it almost every day.

believe it is going to help me to meet my goal for weight loss. “.

I can recommend this bike, I write this review after about 300 miles of biking and 4 weeks of ownership. I believe a home spin bike can be summarized in one line: the bike you assemble on your own, and then profusely sweat over repeatedly, will need maintenance if you want it to last.

I think this bike, with small maintenance will last, and just in case, I purchased the 2 year protection plan. I understand from the other reviews that Yosuda’s warranty reigns for the 1st year and then the protection plan covers the 2nd year.

When deciding to purchase this bike, I read a lot of reviews on Amazon and then several “best of 20xx” lists. Yosuda’s base model showed up frequently, which is how I found the updated L-007A model when looking further into the brand.

I found the user reviews on Amazon to be daunting because for many of the bikes it was all the same: 4-5 star reviews for people who loved the bike after a minimum number of rides and 1-2 star reviews from people claiming the bike broke on them suddenly.

I watched videos for bike maintenance and understood that I would need to maintain the bike should I want it to last. For this model, I feel the pedals are the spot to focus on. Without clip in pedals, and having not threaded the straps correctly the first time, I felt there was a lot of side to side movement with my feet when pedaling.

The repeated movement seemed to loosen the pedals and at times I would hear a bird like chirping noise with every pedal rotation. (My cats would stare at the bike when this was happening). Eventually, I started checking the connections between the pedal and the control arm before workouts with the provided wrenches, just make sure they were tight.

When they’re tight, I never get any chirping noises. I also rethreaded the straps properly so my shoes are more secure. However, I believe with clip in pedals, there would be less side to side movement because your shoes are securely attached, and I may upgrade the pedals in the future.

After every ride, I wipe down the bike with an anti-bacterial wipe and have oiled the flywheel / brake pad twice. The flywheel and brake pad haven’t needed anything but the maintenance guides said to do this after so many rides.

By and large, the bike is very quiet when riding and I am very pleased with the purchase. Other than the pedals, I found no real issues for me with the bike, but these could be an issue for others: – The monitor doesn’t have a backlight – I bike next to a tall lamp that I can turn on easily from the bike and a window, whose shade I can operate during a rest (if I lean).

Between the two of them, I can always read the monitor’s screen. – The water bottle holder isn’t in a great spot – I can reach it if I lean downwards during a rest. But based on how far I feel I need to lean to reach it, I’m sure others who are shorter may not be able to reach it.

So, to begin, I’d give this bike a 4. 5/5 if I could, but alas there isn’t a way to rate in. 5 increments and I don’t consider the small issues I have with the bike to be substantial enough to warrant docking it a full star.

But before I get into my quibbles with this bike, I’ll start with the positives. First, the overall construction of the bike is quite good. It rides a great balance between being quite sturdy without becoming too heavy so as to become difficult to maneuver or put together.

While you’re riding the bike it never feels rickety or unstable. The thing just feels incredibly tight and the act of putting it all together was quite straightforward and took me no more than thirty minutes from unboxing to final assembly.

I’d also add that this bike has a very pleasant design to it as well and is visually pleasing to the point where I’m perfectly fine having it in my apartment off to the side when not in use. A very sleek, modern design that doesn’t make you want to shove it in a closet to hide it when not riding it.

The experience of using the bike is also exactly what I would want and expect from a bike of this price point. It’s easy to adjust the seat or handles to the appropriate height and once I had softened the seat a bit it became quite comfortable to sit in for an hour or longer.

And while the display is a fairly simple, utilitarian one, it has done exactly what I need it to do in tracking distance, time, and calories burned. Now for the aforementioned quibbles. First, there is a small problem I encountered with the acorn/crown hex nuts that affix the front ground bar to the main bike frame.

Unlike the rest of the bolts and what not, using the included multitool to fasten them was almost impossible given how they’re both occupying limited space between two vertical bars. I had to use a separate tool to get them both fastened securely so that the front of the bike wouldn’t wobble constantly if I rode the bike at anything more than a casual pace.

The second, more substantial, issue I have with the bike is the included Ipad/phone holder. While it is easy to adhere to the bike, it couldn’t manage to actually hold my phone in the appropriate slot as even the fairly slim case I have the phone in made it too thick to fit.

Given I have my bike placed in front of my smart TV and use Bluetooth earbuds for music anyway, this wasn’t a huge deal but it could be tedious if you use a case and would like it affixed to the holder.

The other issue I have with the holder is that the plastic is not rounded at the edges, leaving them sharp enough that I actually sheared off some skin from my right index finger when I gripped the bottom of the handlebars and lifted them off mid-ride.

So, between those two issues with it, I chose to just discard it altogether. But, other than those little issues with it, the bike is an overall great purchase which I do not regret making in anyway.

If I cared about using the Ipad/phone holder more I might dock it down to a 4 star, but I personally have virtually zero need of it given my setup at home. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a affordable, well built bike to get some cardio done at home, especially during this pandemic.

An assault bike clone for $500? Seemed like a great deal! I thought this would be an upgrade to my Airdyne AD6, which I’m giving to my girlfriend. It’s not! The welded seat post on my bike leans to the right, so rather than being in the center of the bike, the seat is about 1 inch right of center.

It’s noticeable and annoying when I’m using the bike. Also, the right linkage bearing (connection between the pedal and the linkage to the handle) is loose and makes a clicking sound. Hopefully it won’t get looser with use.

The computer is garbage. The hardware doesn’t match what is called out in the assembly instructions. I don’t have the energy to pack this beast up and return it to Walmart, so I’ll keep it and hope for the best.

First of all I am a six foot tall woman with bad knees and this adjusted easily to fit my height and is very easy on my joints as I can adjust the resistance to fit my needs. And I love the fact that it is so quiet I can’t even hear it; that was a bit of a surprise.

The seat is very comfortable, supportive, has a good density for the longer workouts and can be adjusted to my liking. I was able to assemble this on my own with no help in about 45 minutes. I am very impressed with the weight and stability also.

I love the fact that it has a heart rate monitor and an accurate tracker that shows speed, time spent cycling, and an odometer. I am very pleased with this purchase and that is why I am sharing this.

When I shop for things I like to see and try them out before I buy but in this case the online description and specifications are very accurate.

This bike is awesome. It’s the perfect addition to my home gym. Don’t know why I didn’t get one sooner. The air resistance is good, the seat is comfortable. I feel like I get the same intensity from this bike as the bikes I’ve used in the actual gym.

Love that I get a full body workout on this bike and it’s so convenient to have it at home. My husband has started to use it too. I’ve also got the TruGrit kettlebells to help me achieve my fitness goals.

This bike is incredibly user friendly and easy to use. The knobs allow for quick switching between seatand handle bar heights; great if you have more than one person in the house who will use it. It’s also actually pretty easy to assemble.

The bike offers a great workout, with an easy to adjust resistance knob; and the “bio” screen makes it super easy to track distance, speed and calories. The only small negative was that I found the bike to be slightly louder than I anticipated.

If you are listening to music, it’s really not an issue at all. I would definitely recommend this bike. I use it all the time because it’s so easy to just hop on even when I only have a couple of minutes to squeeze in.

The L5 is an absolute unit. Shipping was fast and assembly was pretty easy. I don’t know much about spinning bikes being a beginner but the bikes seems quiet and does the job. Everything about it is user friendly.

Can’t wait for many more rides!.

I was very excited to receive this bike with its great features, and glowing reviews. Shipping was prompt, within few days of ordering and bike came almost fully assembled and well packaged, with mainly handle-bar and pedals to attach.

And that is where the excitement ended! The bike is having multiple issues from get go. There seem issues with alignment both with handle bar and pedal (right side). The bike also makes a friction sound and feel, as if the driving belt is rubbing against something or something is not aligned properly.

You can feel strong friction with an abrasive sound while pedaling. Specifically: 1. The right-side bike pedal nut does not go all the way snug leaving a gap. Left side is perfect. It makes right side feel wobbly when I bike.

2. Handlebar does not sit snug on the handlebar post. There is a big gap despite tightening the 2 provided screws as far as they can go. The handlebar is thus not stable and shakes and moves when biking.

3. The bike makes a noise when used. It is as if something is causing friction. I shared these inputs with detailed pictures and videos with Sunny customer service (seeing in some reviews that customer service seems responsive), however, despite few days gone by, I am yet to hear back from anyone from Sunny.

I am sharing this review to inform fellow fitness seekers who may be looking for a good spin bike, and how responsive Sunny is if you face issues, so that they can take an informed decision. Hope you find this helpful.

I will update this in case Sunny responds and is able to resolve my issues.

I wanted to love this bike, and I did, for three months, and now it’s a glorified paperweight and customer service hasn’t responded for more than a week. I did some comparison shopping for stationary bikes, as I was going to get knee surgery and wanted a non weightbearing, aerobic exercise option.

Ultimately, the sunny magnetic stationary bike seemed the best choice. Although the display is minimalistic, it is sufficient and less doo-dads usually means less hassle. The display still works great, but a week ago when I was pedaling a thumping sound began and it felt unstable.

I stopped, of course and figured out that the right pedal is banging against the encasing plastic. I tried jiggling it around, to no avail, it seems right. Unfortunately, I have difficulty crouching or kneeling, so I cannot investigate further or attempt to fix it.

(I 2as careful to follow assembly instructions regarding the pedals) I emailed Sunny a week ago (last week Monday, today is Tuesday and week later), providing the information they requested, as well as links to videos and have not heard back other than an automated email.

This is disappointing because I bought this brand from their online store, as I thought it was a reputable company (the amazon vendor is apparently also terrible at customer service). If I am contacted, I will update my review, although based on some other reviews, I’m not sure that will happen.

Really trying to make this bike work because it isn’t a bad bike when it is running, but it is just one problem after another. When I received it the fly wheel was cracked and a dented, and had vibration from bad bearings.

After a few rides, grease came out of the pedal bearing. Sunny sent replacement parts, and a credit for the damaged fly wheel since they did not have replacement fly wheels. I am fairly handy and have a lot of tools, so didn’t mind installing them myself, but be aware that you have to do the service yourself.

Then a few days later, a squeaking and clicking developed in the crank assembly. These issues have all developed within the first few weeks of using the bike. Sunny was prompt and courteous when I had the first set of problems, but has not responded on crank assembly issues.

Not sure if I just got a lemon, but I am getting close to replacing all of the wear parts within a few weeks of ownership. I didn’t return it after the initial issues because there really isn’t that much too these bikes, and I figured I could get it up and running, but starting to regret that decision.

I bought this bike not too long ago from Walmart. It’s a very smooth, incredibly quiet ride. The different adjustments of resistance are great and the screen displays all the information I could want.

The bike is light enough for me to easily move to any area of my house I want on a whim and the price couldn’t be beaten, either! This bike would be perfect if not for a single flaw: The seat is so hard, it quickly hurts my bottom.

Never before was I so aware of the bones in my posterior until sitting on this seat for 30 minutes. I bought extra gel padding for the seat in an attempt to improve the situation, but it’s still not great.

I’m a healthy, average weight. Even after reading through the instruction booklet and noting what height of the seat should be relative to the angle of my legs while pedaling, I became so desperate, I tried every seat setting in an attempt to stop the booty pain.

I’ve been on many different types of exercise bikes from my parents’ to the ones at the gym, and I’ve never experienced a seat quite like this. I eventually couldn’t take it anymore and took the seat and seat post off so I had enough room to comfortably pull up one of my regular chairs behind the bike so I could pedal without pain, though from a different angle.

Everything else about the bike is fantastic and would be rated 5 stars if not for that seat! Does anyone have other suggestions of what I could do to help the seat situation?.

Several years ago I bought a ProGear 225 exercise bike but sold it. Realizing I made a mistake, I ordered the Stamina. I was not disappointed. It is identical in shape, size and weight, but despite a change in color and logo, it is identical to the ProGear.

The biggest changes are in the manual and identification of parts – the manual is precise in steps and illustrations, and the set of nuts, screws, bolts and washers are bubble wrapped on one sheet with each part clearly marked to match the steps and illustrations in the manual.

Assembly should require less than thirty minutes. As a bike, it is rock solid in construction; and owing to its weight (>35 pounds) sits firmly on a rug or bare floor without rocking or moving. The pedals move smoothly and tension is controllable.

The fitness meter reads: Time, Speed, Distance, Calories, Odometer and Pulse. (AAA batteries are required, not included. ) The manual contains tips on heart rates/age, warm-up and cool-down stretching exercises, and maintenance.

I see no better bike at the price point than this model. Five stars *****.

I’ve only had this for a couple of hours. That being said, it was pretty fast and easy to put together. The instructions were pretty clear and it came with everything I needed. I don’t have the equipment to double check the fitness meter so I hope it’s accurate.

I do wish the digital arrows were aligned just a little better with what they’re pointing at and didn’t skip around the screen and instead went thru the modes one after the next in a row. Oh well. I think I’ll get used to that.

I didn’t think the tension was high enough but after 10 min on level 8 I knew it would do the job. I’m running out of options on how to get healthy again! 100$ and I don’t have to be afraid for my possessions or life at the local parks anymore.

I can put on one of my favorite shows on my iPhone or iPad and set it right in front of me on the handy tray included on the bike and go. I might even try one of those 3D bike rides with the cheap cardboard 3D iPhone goggles! Either way if you’re reading this and you’re like me you know if you don’t take your health into your own hands that no ones going to do it for you.

If you made it this far, maybe this affordable bike is for you and what if it was just what you needed. Other than that. I sure hope this pretty little bike holds up cause I got miles to go!!!.

I love this piece of equipment. It is sturdy and dependable for a great HIIT workout. My wife and I both use it – we are in our 60s.

Great bike. Solid! Easy to assemble! Easy to move from room to room. Love watching Cardinal baseball games while getting in my daily workout!!

Purchased for our mother who is older… This bike is rock solid, sturdy, and Safe! I do not worry when my mother uses it!!! The air bike design will absolutely give you a workout!

Assembly was very easy. My son and I took about 30 minutes to open, unpack and assemble everything. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS if you don’t want any setbacks. That’s mainly for simple mistakes like putting the right arm on the left side.

I wanted to buy the higher model because of the ability to adjust the seat more, but it wasn’t available at our Best Buy. I’m pretty short (5′-2″) so this model just makes it for me with the seat at the lowest position.

The seat does bend a bit if you do not tighten it securely. WARNING! I had a much older Airdyne model and it broke because we weren’t using it correctly. I recall reading someone else’s review that advised to not put unnecessary weight on the pedals.

For example, when you get on the bike, don’t hop on the pedal. It’s better to step on the center of the bike, plop your butt on the seat, then put your feet into the pedals. The reason for this is the lack of bearings in the system.

It’s belt-driven and isn’t designed for the weight of your body to swing down on the pedal. I think my nephews were swinging on my old model, one kid on each pedal. Needless to say, you should not operate the bike in that way! If you follow the instruction manual and use it correctly, you’ll probably have a much better experience than the people who rate this any less than 5 stars.

I researched a lot of models and I think this is the best bang for the buck. Sometimes you get what you pay for, so please be weary of cheaper brands/models. This bike is as advertised. It gives you an upper and lower body workout at the same time or you can focus on one at a time, just watch the videos.

The harder you pedal, the more the resistance. I hope this bike lasts a while, if not then I’ll update this review. Enjoy!.

I’ve owned a few different Airdyne models over the years. All have been great bikes. There’s a reason that most rehabs and MMA gyms around the country have these bikes: they are incredibly effective, for both the super fit and the not so fit alike! There are a couple of drawbacks to previous versions of the Airdyne bike: one was the noise level; they were quite loud.

The second was the chain driven mechanism, which wasn’t all that smooth. That isn’t to say that older Airdynes weren’t great (they were,) just to point out some of the shortcomings. The Pro model has rectified both of these shortfalls.

I was hesitant to spend so much on a bike without getting to actually try it, but after watching as many videos as I could find, I decided to take a chance on the Airdyne Pro, and I’m very pleased with the bike.

With the exception of the arms, assembly is straight forward, and the construction is rock solid. ***** A few people have had problems installing the arms. Here’s the thing: there is a flat spot on the arm, that you must line up with the matching flat spot on the bike.

Once you line the smooth pieces up, the arms will go on fairly easily. Just take your time and don’t use excessive force. If the arms are lined up as they should be, it won’t be required. The other thing with the arms, are the assembly bolts.

I noticed that my right arm was noticeably looser than the left. Then, after looking closer at the assembly diagram, I realized I had made the mistake of putting both the left and right arm bolts on from the front of the bike; this is incorrect!!! The right side bolts go in from the front, but the left side bolts go in from the opposite side – the rear.

Once I switched those bolts around, both arms were equal in tension. For me, this was counter-intuitive, but it isn’t a big deal – long as you’re aware of it. ***** If I want to knit pick, I wish the monitor had more options for user presets (there is only one,) to program different intervals.

The belt drive is SO much smoother than the old chain drive; there is literally no comparison. And while any bike that uses wind resistance is going to be loud, it isn’t as loud as the older blade styles used to be.

Lastly, I’ve seen some people saying there’s no need for the air diverter because there is no breeze. If you are moving slowly, that may be the case; if you are doing intervals and pushing hard, there is definitely a breeze! This is an advantage in the middle of summer, but if you are using this bike in the winter time, in a cold room, you will definitely be feeling a cold breeze.

I would definitely recommend either buying the factory air diverter, or rigging something up to at least have the option to block that breeze.

Very good , well made, exercise bike. Solid up to 300#s weight. Assembly was straight forward. Just follow the directions and resist the urge to remove all the cardboard before assembly. Left arm and pedal and right side are clearly evident IF you do one at a time and remove the wrapping as you go.

One side of the frame support has wheels. Once installed, it is a heavy frame that can get away from you without another person’s help while putting on the other support. The bicycle seat is not as good as would be expected.

I plan to invest in a better one. Provided seat is hard to tighten and remain in position, and does not make adjusting for another person easy. Seat should be engineered along the lines of the removable bicycle seats with the lever adjustments.

Mfgr mentions several times this is NOT a toy, or bike for children to play on. Should NOT be used around children. The pedals and arms are unforgiving steel. The mfgr provides a ( rubber?) strap to lock the arms to enable you to move the bike for storage.

I find it too loose and use a leather strap instead. Overall I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

When the bike initially arrived the FedEx driver told us to thoroughly inspect the package because the box was basically damaged from shipping. Once my husband looked through it and put it together we were very happy to say other than minor scratches on the plastic, which is minor cosmetic, the entire was in perfect condition.

It pedals smoothly, the resistance is smooth especially when riding, and the options to move the handles and seat was great for – mind you I am only 5’1″ and he’sabout 5’5″. We love the orange color and is small enough for our apartment without overcrowding.

The small screen works great, keeps the time and distance and speed for us. All in all for the price I would definitely say this is a great option, it’s very sturdy once put together and didn’t take my husband long to put together either.

I would say this is a great cheaper option for a starter bike.

Okay. I was excited at first but this bike was quick to disappoint. the first ride was great! quiet, the resistance is spring loaded and as you increase it it squeaks and hums very loudly. it also smells like something is burning.

The right pedal is starting to stick. the seat and handle bars wobble after every ride. it’s so loud my family gets annoyed. Other than that it functions and I get a workout. I wish I would have paid the difference for the Echolon sport.

I have rode it maybe 8 times.

For the price, this seems like a good bike. Obviously not top of the line! But a good value. I have ridden it about seven times. Yes, the seat is hard but keep riding and it gets easier. Assembly wasn’t terrible, although mine came missing the small screws to attach the screen to the handlebars, I can pick up at the store.

I did not notice that there is not a water bottle holder anywhere, so keep in mind.
