Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have had this indoor bike for a couple of weeks now. There are a lot of options when it comes to a spin bike. I wasn't ready to commit $1500 to the Peleton just yet. So i decided to look for a simple, good quality indoor bike in the $200-300 range. Amazon Prime to the rescue. I decided to take a chance on this brand without any real knowledge about it. It turned out to be a good decision. I can't really compare to any other brand but here is what I like about this bike and why I gave it a high rating. First, being available on Prime was a good way to protect myself if the quality had been horrible or i had any problems. Not to mention free delivery for a very heavy item. In my case, the bike arrived quickly and without any problems. Removing it from the box, it had all of the pieces and it was pretty easy to assemble without any extra tools or skill. The kit included a multi-purpose wrench that did the job. The main part of the bike was already pre-assembled so I just needed to add the feet, handle bars and seat assembly. Overall, it took me about 30 minutes. I am 6 foot and 200 lbs and I find the quality of the bike to be very sturdy and solid. No rattling or squeaks. It takes a few minutes to dial in your seat and handlebar settings but would be any bike. This bike has a heavier flywheel than some of the other similarly priced options and that was one of the deciding factors for me in choosing this brand over others. After assembling the bike, the flywheel was rubbing slightly against the chain guard. I was not sure how to adjust that so I contacted the company. They replied within a few hours (time difference to China?) with very clear instructions that worked like a charm. I was able to fix that issue in just a few seconds with a quick adjustment and I have have had no problems with anything on the bike since. It does just what i wanted it to do and i didn't break the bank. It makes ZERO noise when the resistance pressure setting is on zero. The only negative to consider with this type of indoor bike is that the resistance is applied by a pad pressing against the flywheel. It makes some rubbing noise from the friction. I did not deduct on my rating for that since I think that is standard for all of this style of indoor bike. So I tried to base my rating on the quality, features and service as relating to the very low price and against other indoor bikes in this price category. It is not meant as 5 stars as compared to the Peleton or other $1000+ options. Sure, you will be able to find many good indoor bikes with other features. But for the price, you should consider what you really want. This bike was exactly what I wanted.
