I mountain bike and bought this to use when it's too cold or wet outside, part of the home gym I've been building out during the pandemic. First, loved the colors because I just happen to have the black/red theme going with my other weights, etc. But I've now given it a few rides and can report it's a really solid indoor bike for the price.
Pros:
- Super quiet and smooth
- Sturdy and solid, doesn't wiggle and move while riding
- Heavy for sturdiness, but not so heavy you can't easily move it around or into a storage spot
- Good instructions for easy assembly. Took about 30 minutes taking my time.
- iPad fits nicely in the tray, resting against the computer for a good angle. It's nice to bike along to a virtual trail ride video while blasting tunes on the gym stereo.
Cons:
- Like others have said, the little computer is nothing special. It works but is a bit hard to read.
- The pedal straps don't feel deep enough to me and I only wear a size 9. It's more comfortable to ride without using them. You can take them off or just ride using the other side of the pedals.
Tips and review rebuttals:
- Some people complained in reviews I read about pedals that fall off or a seat that wiggles and can't be tightened, or is uncomfortable. Now that I have the bike and assembled it, I can say pretty definitely that these are all operator/assembly error -- NOT the bike.
- The pedals are CLEARLY marked with warning tags that they are specific left/right, and thread opposite directions for each one. One goes on clockwise, the other counter-clockwise. If someone had problems they likely put them on backward and stripped the threads.
- The seat and instructions also have tags that clearly state to tighten both nuts at the same time when you mount the seat. Here's the trick: The bike comes with tools, including a little socket wrench. It's 13mm, but you need two wrenches to tighten the nuts at the same time. I have wrenches, so I just grabbed another 13mm and it tightened fine. If you don't have a specific 13mm, try an adjustable or at least find a pair of pliers to tighten both nuts at the same time per the directions.
- The seat has THREE ways to adjust it to fit your comfort. Up/down (height), front/back AND the angle or tilt. Many people may not know they can adjust the latter by loosening the same seat nuts as above and adjusting the pitch of the seat. That's in the instructions but people don't always read instructions. Instead they complain.
Overall, I'm very happy with this bike.
