Sunny Health & Fitness Smart Magnetic Cycling Bike with Free SunnyFit App Connection, Stationary Indoor Cardio Exercise Equipment

After comparing reviews and prices on a number of home fitness bikes, I narrowed my choice down to the Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike. Before I purchase an item on Amazon, I tend to read the 5 star reviews and then begin at the bottom with the 1 star reviews and work my way back up. This approach tends to give me a view of what people liked about the bike and, starting with the least satisfied customers, allows me to get a feel for the complaints and compare them to a variety of reviews. First, be warned. The box is heavy. I mean, really heavy. The shipping weight is listed at 112 pounds and the box is large. Believe it or not, this is a very good thing. The bike is solid, mostly metal with an absolute minimum of plastic. If the box was light, I'd personally worry. Additionally, the bike is mostly assembled when it arrives. Hence the large and heavy box. A number of customers expressed difficulty in assembling the bike. I did not find this to be the case at all. The design has slightly changed since the official photo was taken (the bike is essentially identical except for the handlebars - more on that in a moment) and I wonder if the company improved the assembly process as well. It took me approximately ten minutes to assemble the bike, all of the necessary tools were included, and the assembly was incredibly intuitive and required minimal reference to the instructions. There are not a lot of parts that need to be assembled - it's just after reading some of the reviews I was especially careful, thorough, and spent a chunk of that time studying the instructions and looking for the difficult part. The bike is solid. (According to the description, the front flywheel weighs approximately 40 pounds on its own and that seemed about right to me.) To assemble the bike, you attach the pedals (they screw on), put the seat and handlebar stems into the frame, and attach the handlebars and seat to the appropriate stem. The adjustment knobs over the entire bike had been screwed in slightly too far at the factory so that the shaft of the bolt blocked the entry of the stems. Simply unscrewing each slightly solved the problem. The cross pieces of the base come with small metal blocks in place and they need to be removed and the actual wide cross pieces (the front piece has the small red wheels attached in the photo) need to be bolted into their positions. That's it. Assembly is complete. All of the parts (tools, nuts, and bolts) come shrink wrapped to a stiff piece of cardboard. Each part is clearly labeled on the board. Instead of looking for "Hexagon Flat Round Head Screw-Black M10X25mm" you simply find part "(66)". This is an exact example from the assembly process. (The "Flat Washer-Black" is part "(67)" and the numbers are clearly referenced in the instructions.)There's no searching for parts. You simply remove them from the board as needed. The only issue that I had was that the tension control knob for the flywheel was stuck. The knob literally wouldn't turn. Cranking on it really hard popped it free and it works fine. I'm not sure what happened - once it was unstuck, all was good. It works fine and just like new. It wasn't a defect, it was just initially stuck and now works fine. The handlebars are different than shown in the photo. Instead of two small bars that come out at 90 degree angles toward the inside of the handlebars, those bars are now connected with a large comfortable arc. In my opinion, this is a significant improvement over the original design and gives you a much wider range of options for hand placement. I spent several years attending the 5 AM spin class at my local gym. Being the first to use the classroom space, we early birds took the bikes from where they were parked along the wall and moved them to their positions. Having spent a lot of time with those bikes, I'm confident in stating that there is very little difference between this bike and the professional models used at the gym. I would rate it low-end professional, very high end amateur, and an absolute steal at the price. The ride is essentially indistinguishable from high-end gym spin bikes. Having ridden those bikes roughly 1,000 times, I can pick up on subtle (and I can't stress the word "subtle" enough) differences, but they do not detract from the ride in the slightest. For instance, the knob to adjust the tension has a little more play in it (a half turn adjusts the tension a little, then a tenth of a turn adjusts it a lot) but it's still very easy to get it set exactly where you want it, you just have to become familiar with it. The bike remains incredibly solid in both seated and standing riding positions and exceeds all of my expectations for a home spin bike. To address a couple of reviews that I saw while considering my purchase. The angle of the seat was mentioned by more than one person. I'm not sure what their issue was - it adjusts just like any other bike seat, including the angle. In other words, by loosening a bolt, manually adjusting the tilt, and tightening the same bolt once more, you can have the seat at any angle you wish. It's literally a non-issue. A couple of people mentioned the noise. It's not silent, but I'm not sure what folks were expecting. It doesn't make an unusual amount of noise and its mostly noticeable simply because there is no other unexpected sound in the room. I watch shows while riding and don't have any trouble becoming immersed in the program. My wife and I can actually have a conversation at a normal volume while one of us is riding. The noise is much lower than I anticipated given the reviews that I read and very acceptable for this piece of equipment, perhaps even on the low end of the noise range. At least one review mentioned an odd smell while riding. I did not experience that at all. Spin bikes don't typically come with odometers. With cardio, the duration of your ride is much more important than how far you ride. I realize that this may bother some people, but an odometer, in my experience, would have been out of place on this piece of equipment. A couple of reviews downgraded the bike because of the lack of an odometer, but I ride for a set period of time, not for distance. As one of my friends jokingly put it, "Why do you need an odometer on a stationary bike? Do you want to know how far you rode? You didn't! It doesn't move!" This one gets five stars from me. Simply put, this is an extremely good deal for the price. An absolute bargain. There are little things here and there that could be upgraded, but only at substantial cost. After reading a large number of the other reviews, I can honestly say that the Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. I highly recommend it.

Update Post: We originally purchased one of these bikes in June of 2015. We were a bit concerned about the low price because our intention was to use it in our fitness facility. This bike is rock solid. We now have 9 of them and will be purchasing 2 more this month. The bikes are used in spin classes daily. We have everyone from small, uber-fit petite women to hulking 6'2" 255lb men. These bikes get hours and hours of use each week. I recommended this bike to an associate who is opening a fitness facility. When he was purchasing some high-end equipment from a well-known gym equipment provider, he asked them about the bike (showed them the Amazon link I sent to him) and they were dumbfounded. They said that the bike had quite impressive features, especially for a bike that inexpensive and appeared to be a very, very good bargain. They actually had the bike on their computer when he went in the next day because they researched it more and said they were quite impressed by it. That, and the fact that their lowest priced bike was a bit below $900 reassured us that we made a great choice! We have even used these bikes in the parking lot for some special events. The only problems we had with the bike were with the screw on the tension knob on one. The bolt became a bit stripped and we had to order another one. The other issue with another one was with the brakes squeaking after about 8 months. This can happen if you don't "oil" the flywheel periodically because the brakes get dried out. A bit of treadmill oil on the flywheel fixed this immediately. We service the bikes bi-weekly, and that involves tightening the bolts on the seats (just to make sure they stay put) and just doing a check on all the bolts and moveable parts. But again, keep in mind that these bikes get literally hundreds of hours a month, so that minuscule amount of service is -wonderful-! If you're looking for a cost-effective, very dependable bike, you should definitely consider purchasing one of these. Absolutely worth it! Pros Low cost Very easy assembly Sturdy, solid construction Minimal maintenance needed Very easy to move (we move these puppies a lot - even outside) Shipping was quick (and cheap - Yay Prime!) Cons The brakes may squeak a bit after a while. This is resolved by oiling the flywheel periodically. (You should do this with any spin bike and make sure the tension is released after riding to ensure they don't dry a bit and squeak.

Reckon i got a quality Bargain here, after being rather lost in the entire exercise bike world, having been 30 years or more since i last bought a cheap (Around£30) Wieder bike, which packed in, in only 2/3 months due to my exertion. Dissapointed i wrote to them complaining that i assumed they were quality brand. The gave me a new replacement, which i sold new, as i knew it would go the same way, & this is when i realized companies make things to a price. Also these days we have chain/belt bikes, spin bike etc, all i was looking for was something that would last & wouldn't cave in with strenuous use. I fixed my mind on Heavy wheel, which at 40 pounds this one has, i then pondered the belt versions as they cost way more, yet as i suspected & another reviewer stated, who himself had 2 previous bikes, that belts SLIP/slacken in time, prompting him to go for chain which i did also, & like him i had little care for rather pointless digital devices. I have had racing road bikes all through the years, although not using them much in recent years, wityh that in mind it's little matter what Distance you may pat yourself on the back with, for me it's about the EFFORT you are putting in for the duration, which you want to be Minimal. From much earlier years i learned that Really Working a stationary bike, you get a real quick warm up, where in just over 10/12 minutes you Would be sweating, which is what i am aiming for, as when the blood is flying around the body you are more flexible and less prone to injury & the ability to reach this state with hard exercise used to be (with stretching 5 minutes after 15 ex) about 20 minutes, but the bodies ability to reach this state in that time greatly diminishes as years roll on, which is why i have opted to get a bike, to assist in my warm ups for martial arts & weight training. I will still do my normal warm ups , but first i shall spend time on the bike. So for this you simply move the resistance knob till it's hard to pedal, but are still able to effort it to a decent pace & that's it. Now my 1st duration i have had to go 18 minutes to get to where i'm about sweating mode, it will take maybe a week or 2 to get into proper mode of pedalling at pace with a difficult mode/tension, & i then hope to be able to attain warm up/sweating mode in less time. I should mention as i was reading about modern bikes & what to look for & the reason for folk paying WAY more for "Belt" bikes, being they are silent. There is virtualy NO noise from this, all i had read whould make you think a chain bike was making a racket:) It's nothing of the sort folks, & i'd be so dissapointed if i'd opted for a far more expensive Belt bike & in some months it weakened/slipped etc, as i'd regard that as waste of purchase. There is NO Way this bike is packing in, as it is built like a tank, about 100 pounds weight, even has simple to adjust stabalizers which made it simple for me to have it sitting perfectly level in my Not so perfectly flat floor in my outdoor hut where i have the bike, & for the giveaway price of £140, i regard this as a Fantastic bargain As i ponder the life span of this the only thing that could diminish through time would be the brake pads which determine the difficulty of your session, & having just done a quick search it seems they don't cost much and there are youtube videos showing how to fit, so i guess that won't be a problem should it arise somewhere down the line. Very pleased with this purchase, easy ass embly/adjustment, however take your time with pedals attachment, as that can be tricky.

im athletic person and i got this bike because of curfew and im not able to do exercises,so my opinion is this bike is really good,seat is uncomfortable same like other spinning bike in any prices.you just need to get gel pad seat which is 3-7$ people complaining about noise,its not noisy that much, im very happy with my bike, stay safe and healthy

Perhaps I didn't have super high expectations but the reviews were good, it was stated to be suitable for someone my height (6'2") and weight (225 lbs.) and the price seemed too good to pass up so I bought it in preparation for next Winter. From the moment I touched it, my expectations have been exceeded. The box is a combination of heavy (115 lbs.) and large rectangular box which made it difficult for a single person to carry. I recommend that you be prepared to have two healthy people available to carry this to it's expected resting place from where it is delivered. I work out and believe I am fairly strong but this package humbled me. I set it up in two spurts of approximately 15-20 minutes each. Total time is probably around 30 minutes. Each and every part on this bike, including the "travel" blocks which can be thrown away, are extremely heavy and well built. Solid steel (I assume) and painted if not stainless steel. If this were a real bike you would not make it very far. But once I got it set up and hopped on, it took a few minutes to make the appropriate adjustments to get the seat and handle bars to where they felt comfortable. I was a bit disappointed that you have to take the adjustment knobs completely out in order to make the adjustments but each and every knob and adjustment piece are very heavy and sturdy. Even the seat and handlebars seem extremely well built and of high quality. The fly wheel is heavy and looks pretty flashy. There is not a single item on the bike that seems like a corner was cut. Even the instructions use full sized pages, are clear and were easy to follow. The only item that I wasn't quite sure about were the pedal nuts that came attached to the pedals and not on the base of the bike like the picture seemed to suggest. This bike seems NOTHING like any other Chinese manufactured item I have ever purchased and I seem to buy quite a few things from overseas. Mostly electronics though and in that space what could be metal is typically plastic. Not the case with this bike. What could be plastic seems to be metal. I test rode the bike for ~5 minutes or so with the tension as high as possible where I could still get to a good speed and I was able to get heated up to the point where I was about to start sweating. There were a few small noises that prevented the bike from being near silent but everything seemed to be installed correctly (both what I assembled and what came pre-assembled). In addition to the next Winter season, I plan to use this bike most days while I'm on conference calls via Teams, Zoom, WebEx, etc.. At some point, I plan to follow a few hacks from another review to add a tachometer/odometer and a few other bells and whistles. I HIGHLY recommend this bike if you've been thinking about getting a well built but basic stationary bike and you're able to get it at a good price. At least a price that is good for you.

Package came without the seat included.. where are we able to purchase the seat in Singapore?
