YOSUDAPRO Magnetic Exercise Bike 350 lbs Weight Capacity - Indoor Cycling Bike Stationary with Comfortable Seat Cushion, Silent Belt Drive

Im a 350lb active guy and its impossible to find cardio stuff in general that I wont destroy on amzon. But had this bike for a while and I truly can put this bike through the paces. Bought different pedals and bigger seat. The magnetic resistance is great although manually adjusted. and best of all its silent. The app is ok and i cant get data on my tablet but it seems its only made for tablets, as on my phone the layout is messed up and i cant get past certain screens. For the price and quality I'm happy. I also got lucky with shipping though as one more bad drop would have bent some stuff for sure.

I have knee problem preventing me from exercise. This summer I tried road biking and it works without knee pain. Then I worried about cold seasons. I did a thorough research both in Amazon and YouTube and decided to buy this one. It turned out to be so good that even my wife who doesn't care about biking fall in love with it:)You need to do descend research before buying an exercise bike because it is difficult to return for its weight and size. YouTubers don't seem to favor this one. I choose to trust Amazon review.It's rock solid and no touch pad. I used to be a mechanical engineer and would say no any maintenance for years to come. It's magnetic and ghost quiet. You can do exercise while watching TV, Apple TV, YouTube or listen to music.I figured that I can pedal it reversely to have zero impact on my knees. You pull the pedals from 2 o'clock to 10 o'clock or stretch it from 7 o'clock to 4 o'clock. Or auxiliary. The cal. burning rate is the same. You may need some practice to get used to it. The reverse motion actually minic knee rehab exercise while burning cals. I noticed they improve my knees over time.Some people have issues about the pedals fall off on the older model. I noticed this new model reinforced the pedals. Some people may put too high resistance and apply too much body weight on the pedals. Being a road biker, I can tell how much resistance to simulate real biking experience. For an average exercise biker, It's 100 cal., 3 miles, about 15(running) to 30 minutes(relaxing). That's about the right resistance. You'll see you don't have much weight on the pedals. In real road biking, if you put more weight than that, you'll getting faster and faster and tired soon or lost balance. If you really like more weight on the pedals, you are a mountain hiker. I think the 350 lbs means the structure can support a person with that weight, not on the pedals because belt drive mechanical system is for quiet and high speed, not for heavy weight. A 150 lb.-ft. torque is in the range of a car engine which uses gear drive.Youtubers complain that it has no fancy screen functions or online program. It serves my interest. I think those are for the people feel boring. If you can watch YouTube, Amazon Prime movie, Apple TV, etc. and listen to home theater music, why you need those bells and whistles.Some people complain about the screen is too dark. I agree. But products need trade off in design. If you want it brighter, you'll need to change battery frequently or hook up to electricity that is a no to me. For me to fix the problem, I bought a motion sensing light strip (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1QCR88N?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and put it on the ceiling of the basement above the bike. It works perfectly for me.Some small size people have issues about the handle bar too far away. I kind of agree. I am 5'7" and ride on a 27" road bike. It's farther away than a 27" road bike. I can raise the height of the handle bar so it isn't a problem for me. For shorter people, it may be too far away. Hope new version can fix it. The screw hole on the handle bar actually goes through. If you want to fix it yourself, you can drill an M8 hole on the base, move the handle bar about 2 inch closer. It took me one hour. See attached picture.Some have issues with the seat. I feel the seat is very comfortable compare to my road bike. But after about 30 minutes run, I felt numbness of my butt, which never happen in road biking. Then I switched the seat with my road bike. The result is the same. Numbness on the indoor cycling. No such thing on road biking. It proved that it is the nature of stationary bike - because you sit still, no bump, it hampers blood circulation. The way I deal with it is to get off every 30 minutes or so, or create artificial bumps.

I've had it for about 16 months now and its working out pretty well. I ride it 2-3 times a week to supplement my outdoor riding when the weather is bad or I can't get to the gym. It provides a challenging and smooth resistance range that allows me to do all types of spin class techniques including jumps, freezes, seated climbs, sprints etc.It's easy to find free spin classes on YouTube, so there is always plenty of variety out there. I have only a few comments.1. The display is very dim, so it can be hard to see the data. Its good for RPM and time, the rest of the information isn't really useful, but RPM is the most important thing.2. The resistance knob takes a lot of spinning to go from 1-10. I basically crank it till I can't pedal, back off a turn and the count down one turn per resistance level. So in a class that goes from say 5-10-5 a lot, its a lot of turning.3. The seat post squeaks, sort of annoying, so I lube it with silicon.4. Anyone over 6'1" may not be able to use it. I'm 6 ft with really long legs and I have the seat maxed out. Anyone taller than me may have a problem.Ok, that's the skinny on it. For the money, when combined with free classes, you can't beat it. I ride a peloton in Hilton gyms when I travel for work and they are better, but not by much, and if you only ride a few days a week, this is a good deal.

Best indoor bike. It’s quiet, and it’s easy to move for storage! It was super easy to put together.
