YOSUDA Indoor Cycling Bike Brake Pad/Magnetic Stationary Bike - Cycle Bike with Tablet Mount & Comfortable Seat Cushion

Too soon to tell. I've had the bike for a week - it was easy to assemble and it is extremely quiet. I've had three Schwinn bikes in the past - each lasting a little under three years. I put between 2 1/2 to three hours a day at 15- 20 mph on the bike. I have high hopes for a different brand but it may be that these aren't meant for high useage. For now I'll give it a high rating based on hope.

This was a great buy! Bought it 3 years ago, used it year 1, years 2 & 3 it sat outside…in the rain…uncovered…in the elements…yikes. Started using (inside) a few weeks ago and it’s like brand new. It’s pretty amazing! Well worth the money!

-Assembly instructions were vague and part labels were confusing. Probably not a problem if you’re handy, but it was a headache for me as I am not handy. The instruction video I found on youtube from Yosuda helped somewhat but was still missing steps.-One of the nuts on the pedals was stuck. After a bit of trial and error, I fixed it by using a clamp to hold the rest of the screw still while I loosened the bolt. Another headache.-The handlebar post won’t go far enough in the slot so that I can lock it in with the pin. I know I’m not doing anything wrong, because the seat post has the same design, and I had no problem with it. The handlebar just sits in the slot, and it’s not very stable. I decided it’s not worth the headache to deal with customer support.Bike seems to ride fine, I’ll try to update later.

Great product for price point

It's a great exercise bike but we haven't had it not even a year and it's developed a stress fracture in the metal on the left side pedal bar. If it starts to feel spongy in the pedals check your bars for stress fractures. We've contacted the manufacturer for support we'll see what happens.4.2.2025: UPDATE. Contacted YOSUDA and after some back and forth email they are shhipping a replacement crank. We didn't want to leave the review at 3 stars. Hopefully we will continue to get great use from the bike.

Good budget option. You'll get a workout and that's what you came for.

It's been 11 months since I purchased this bike and I've used it consistently for 9 months during that time (2 months I was in a pneumatic boot for an ankle injury). It's my first indoor cycling equipment purchase and overall experience ever..definitely taught me a lot. Lessons learned, experience gained, but overall it has done its job and hasn't fallen apart. My pros list is at the end since it's shorter, way shorter, than the cons.Cons (for more serious indoor cycling):1. There's no way to measure resistance. The shoddy "monitor" hookup screen provided in no way connects to the resistance knob, so it's guesswork from the get-go. If you're a beginner, this will be a trial and error hurdle. If you're experienced, this will be heartburn, because in addition to the lack of measurement marking/tracking, there are also "gaps" in the resistance consistency. You'll feel it sort of hit a void (i.e., you've increased 2-5 points, feeling heavier, gone to add 2-5 more and suddenly it feels lighter again..then you add 2-5 more and it's heavier as it should've been the first time).- there is also no aftermarket adapter, monitor or sensor to incorporate this data into any 3rd party app or tracker in case you're trying to calculate you're output.2. Cadence - nope. You can't track it accurately here unless you buy a 3rd party/alternate sensor, link it to that app, then try to export that workout data into another fitness app. I have a Wahoo cadence sensor - If you choose that one & have a fitbit, you're out of luck - cadence won't import; nor will it sync to the peloton app, Google fit, or strava. *sigh*3. Get used to having your fitness data in multiple places. I use the peloton app on roku for cycling classes - that tracks my actual workout programs. My fitbit tracks my calories burned, heart rates, steps, workout times, etc for those recorded classes i manually activate at the same time. Wahoo tracks my cadence & cycling sesson times which I also manually activate at the same time as fitbit via the Wahoo app.. I'm still trying to find a way to import all into Strava but they don't have capability yet.Pros:1. The bike has stayed sturdy for me. I'm not sitting gently or idly. Ive hit anywhere from 50-125 cadence, 25-70 resistance, and been in & out of the saddle more often than my knees are happy about - the bike has held up. I dont have any complaints about the handlebar angle because the fact is: this isn't an outdoor bike or ride. I'm not leaning over on the bars. Your form is supposed to be upright, spine long, chest open - lifts/jogs should have your rump barely tapping the seat and your chest slightly leaned forward.. so I adjusted the bar's height and my seat height/distance. Good to go. (I'm 5'10 for reference). I do try to ensure my cadence is a bit lower than 75-ish with 50-60 resistance when doing most out of saddle jogs..I get weary at faster paced lifts because it feels like I might tip over sometimes. This isn't the bikes doing, this is a matter of balance, but balance can be thrown off at higher speeds when you're standing (duh) so, take care.2. Noise.. the occasional creaking is annoying, but no one in my family has complained about the bike noise, and I'm doing rides at 630am even on weekends. I have teenage girls...they complain about everything, so if they haven't said anything, I assume all is well. I keep and use my bike in the den, so it's wide open for all to hear.Thats where Pros end. So, if you can, grab yourself a cadence monitor, or heart rate monitor, and a workout tracker..whatever you need to add into this to make the rides work for you, itll be just fine. The bike is sufficient enough to get a job done.
