Purchased this bike on January 14, 2020 after looking at numerous brands, models, and reviews. Exerpeutic gets good reviews and seemed suited to my 178 lb. 5 ft. 9 in. frame. Many similar bikes, while they won’t say so, seemed lighter weight and pitched toward women. I avoided Exerpeutic’s older models due to occasional complaints of difficulty getting parts when problems arise. The one-year warranty covers the frame only, with a 90 day warranty on everything else. I thought it best to spend the extra $22 on a three-year extended warranty.Shipping: Super fast and secure. Arrived early in good condition.Assembly: The instructions are…OK. Small parts are packaged on a paper card in labeled plastic bubbles. Some things not fully explained require a little patient thought. Obviously, be careful with the pedals. The threading is not the same on both sides, kind of like an old Chrysler. The lock nuts that go on the pedal shaft are just that, lock nuts, lined with plastic near the top, and it’s not clear how tight you should go. The video I watched showed a number of things only installed a turn or two so I was on my own. I went “snug” which was not easy. The phone holder is best installed with a long screwdriver. The screwdriver tool included was clumsy and any other screwdriver would not extend through the access slots in the outer surface of the holder. The wires for the digital display were easy to attach but where to put them? They were an awkward fit to simply attach and leave dangling, and mine seemed squeezed under the display when I mounted it. I gently tucked the wires and connectors into the void on the back of the display formed by the plastic tablet holder molded into the front (see photo).Performance: I have ridden almost daily since purchase, 30 – 45 minutes, at 12 – 14 mph, resistance setting 4 with an occasional minute or two at 5. I warm up and cool down for a minute or two at 2 and 3. It will get your pulse up, make you sweat, and burn some calories. Standing up and cranking at level 8 or trying to “spin” will probably break it. If you are a serious cyclist or work-out fiend, spend the $2000 and $47 per month on a Peloton. This is not that, nor is it intended to be.The seat is comfortable enough although made of wood and vinyl stapled together (see photo), I worry it may not be long for this world. The seat has 5 possible heights and I’m comfortable at either the middle setting or one shorter. You can also screw the seat to its mount in either tall or short person mode. My first couple of rides, the flywheel made some intermittent scratchy sounds, like the end of a cable or plastic scraping it. It eventually went away. It also makes occasional rhythmic light clunking sounds that are hard to localize. The crank or the frame and seat as me and/or the bike get warm and tired? Hard to say. The footprint is relatively small and when collapsed, the bike is easy to store leaning against a wall.The electronics are pretty easy. Push “mode” to walk through all of the data displays, ending with pulse. If you push it again, you are in scan mode. Push it again to get back to manual display. The app that you get is easy too, although sort of limited. Set up an account, login before each ride, choose your goals or bypass them to just have it monitor the single ride. The pedals have to be moving before you choose connect or Bluetooth will not detect the display on the bike. Once it's connected and running, it will zero the display and off you go. It does not export data as far as I can tell.
