This video highlights some of the top 5 exercise bikes and also a terrible choice. if you’re looking for a peloton alternative exercise bicycle this video may be able to help you choose a budget friendly stationary bike. If you don’t have the money for a real peloton bike, you can use one of the exercise bikes in this video to use the peloton digital app and get a Home workout in using a cheap peloton alternative bike. There really is no need to spend more than $1000 and over $44 per month on a peloton membership when you can buy a pretty darn good bike for a while under $1000 on Amazon and get the same indoor bicycle exercise is in at a fraction of the cost. Over the past few years I have made quite a few videos on indoor exercise bikes and try to help guide people in the right direction on what to choose, and the truth is, not a lot has changed since then. I hope this video helps clear up any confusion you may have about exercise bikes for your home, and what the pros and cons of each of these stationary exercise bikes offer.
ACCESSORIES:
Wahoo cadence sensor: amzn.to/3W5Wc1x $40
Scosche Hear Rate Monitor: amzn.to/3sDwsw2

I'm always amazed how you fit all these bikes in your space.
I bought my first spinning bike today. My budget was 600e and I ended up with the model "Fitnord Racer 500". I think it's exactly the same bike as the "Sunny 1805", but we have it under a different name in Finland. I paid 539e for the bike. Now I will change the saddle and pedals to better ones. Very satisfied at least so far :)
sweeeet, enjoy 🤙
Hey! I have been binge watching your videos and I wanted to express my gratitude for all the hard work you have put into these videos. I wanted to purchase the IC4 via your link but it’s not available on Amazon at the moment (one seller has it available for $1,500). Sorry I can’t use your affiliate link! Once again, thank you for your videos. They’re the best in the game!
My main concern now is serviceability, I bought my wife the Cyclace 2 years ago and now the pedal snapped off the crank and the crank itself is not replaceable, is there a bike that is budget friendly but also made of good materials?
I was able to snag the SF 1709, the Keiser Clone, shown at 8:41 for less than $400 earlier this year. Awesome bike.
Sweet! Good find, happy riding!
I've always used a friction bike and have very little experience with magnetic resistance. The times I've used it I haven't liked that there are "levels" and nothing in between...does anyone have any more recommendations for a friction resistance bike?
Which is the quietest budget one you can recommend for people who live in apartments?
Love these type of videos! I love my Joroto x2. Got it for about $300 a year ago and also the wahoo cadence sesor.
Great choice! How’s it holding up? How often do you use it?
hi hows it holding up?
@@personalaccount2191 over 600 peloton rides just from me.
Have you finished the Joroto X2 Pro to the X2? I see there is an X4s now as well. I'm curious if I would be able to connect the X2Pro to the Peloton App correctly.
Great review video. Will watch again and a few others as I am looking to add more cardio time and unable to increase time at the gym. For longevity and healthspan cardio I am told to monitor the wattage output (for maintaining the correct zone/workout and progression). Would one of these bikes allow me to do that? If not any suggestions of the type of bike I should be looking at?
Bike king! Wow you have your own studio at home
Theres not real a difference between this bikes besides some gimnicks, they are all done with most of the same material and will have a similar life expectancy. If you want electronics buy a outside cadence sensor.
Great tips and info. Thank you!!
Thanks for the reviews!
thanks for watching!
Just ordered a Sunny 1805 using your link . Any vids on replacement seats?
I just got me an exercise bike it's pro form CBC Tour de France how long should I ride it a day? I'm 60 thanks for the reviews❤ I watched the review on my bike this morning😊
Are any of these bikes NOT good for a short woman at 5'?
Thank you so much for your reviews! Have you ever tried the Schwinn IC3? I’m wondering how it compares to the 4.
IC3 is same frame and flywheel, but friction instead of magnetic resistance and less connectivity (no bluetooth) and metrics than the 4..
I'm between an echelon gt and the echelon ex-4s+, as my options are limited living in Hawaii. Not only is shipping very expensive for certain bikes, but others won't deliver here at all, like the gt+. Is there any real advantage to the ex-4s+of I don't intend on using the screen?
Question! I have the opportunity to get a peloton bike for under $500 without the screen. (Someone is selling one with no screen). Is it still worth that money to use it with the peloton App on a tablet? Thanks so much!!
Very comfortable an stylish and lightweight as advertised
Hello, do you have any experience with the yesoul s3? I have a tight budget for this
What is your thought on Sole SB900 for 350.00
Now do treadmills for my wife! I bought the Kaiser M3i for me.
In a couple hours here, I'm going to be looking at buying a used Proform CBC tour de france, like new condition and $150 Any thoughts?
I reviewed it and made several videos with it on my channel, please search my channel. It’s fine, I didn’t love the riding position, it was stretched and low handlebars for me, but I’m tall
If both bikes were the same price which would YOU purchase the Echelon GT+ or the Schwinn IC4?
Tough call, probably the GT+
Why don't you review upright bikes or air bikes
i got a norflex for 260 was ripped off last week and i use it for hour a day at high cadence keeping hr at 150s metrics dont work but there never accurate i only go by hr anyway. the seat wont go any higher and it rattles a bit im not sure if itll last for ever or if its designed to go fast. ive had bad experience with spin bikes like everfit was the worst the pedal snapped off and mechanic seid its a crap brand but what do i expect it was cheap
Have you tried the Sunny SF-B1805SMART? I wonder how the added metrics compare to the IC4?
May you pedal backwards on them?
So i just bought the Sunny 1805 smart, and it should be here in a few days. My reasoning behind purchasing it was to just tone up and lose some belly fat ( getting old sucks ) and i know Diet is a HUGE part of what i am after.. but in all honesty.. can i expect to see results from Just a Stationary bike,.. or should i Also incorporate some weight training as well ??
how is it?
@@F124NC15 to be honest.... i Love It ! Had an issue with the first one being damaged at the shipper, so i had to wait for a replacement.. but i have been using it Every Day since i got it. And it really Helps to just maintain, i feel alot better and im finally starting to see results. But never expected it to happen overnight. All things considered... i would purchase again . And am satisfied with it as well
@@dantediss1 great to hear! I was on the fence with that model too and I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger on it. I appreciate your insight. Cheers!
@@F124NC15 i paid the extra for the model with the electronics, shows time..cadence..calories..distance. and it Also includes the info for the website that includes wotkouts and rides, and it is free. As long as you do not mind having to turn a knob to increase resistance, it is flawless. Sure you can spend alot more.. and sign up for apps and workouts and pay monthly... but you need to look at it from the aspect of it is exercise equipment. And using it is up to you. If you feel you will use it daily the sunny is a great place to start and move up from. But why spend over $1k on a bike you may not be sure you will use.
@@dantediss1 good looking out, it's not much more when also factoring in picking up a wahoo cadence meter with the barebones model. yeah, I already figure the 1805Smart model is great value for the money. my previous exercise bike was some 250 dollar recumbent bike that lasted about a year and a half of daily use and this was years ago. trying to get back into indoor cycling again and I'm glad the tech has advanced quite a bit since I last did some research
Hey there! As a fellow exercise bike enthusiast, I can attest that freebeat's Lit Bike has been a game-changer for my daily workout routine. The fusion of music and exercise is simply exhilarating! The Lit Bike's superior design and scoring system have motivated me to push through my fitness boundaries while providing an immersive and fun workout experience. Not to mention, the ability to engage in off-bike exercises has added an extra level of value to my investment. But what truly sets freebeat apart is the sense of community. The inspirational instructors and inclusive classes have fostered a supportive and empowering ambiance that keeps me coming back for more. I highly recommend the Lit Bike to anyone looking to redefine their fitness journey and find their beat with freebeat. Thanks for sharing your exercise bike video. Keep up the great work!
I'm not too picky, I would like durability to be my top priority. 6 months down the road, still working well. Any suggestions? thanks
I hear many good reports about the schwinn reliability, probably why it costs the most amongst this bunch
I don't know if you already bought one of these bikes, but I hope you didn't go Joroto. I've had mine for about 8.5 months and a few weeks in I had to buy new pedals because the ones that came with the bike were squeaking like crazy. New pedals fixed the issue and the bike worked perfectly without any issues until a few weeks ago I noticed that the bike wasn't pedaling smoothly anymore and there was a lot of friction. Just today the bike started making a horrible and loud sound coming from the bottom bracket on every pedal rotation. It is likely an issue with the bearings or something else wrong with the bottom bracket which is going to be a pain to take apart and fix. Joroto definitely doesn't pass the reliability and durability test imo.
Hi... What about the the Ovicx bikes any experience?
Where did you purchase the tablet holder with the gooseneck?
How to order in Amazon red spinning Nor flex bike
I'm a complete notice all around here.. looking to get a bike for the house(I normally do treadmill). It appears like the desired is magnetic resistance for sure? (Don't care about smart features garage is loaded w wifi etc). So I would think the sunny and get a metrics kit for it would be great to start with?
Yes seems like a great option for you, check my sunny 1805 review
@@TailHappyTV excellent! Will do
hello, pls review MEKBELT SM36 and DMASUN magnetic bike. thx
Hi at 4:16, you have an apparatus that is holding a tablet at face height. What is that called and do you have a link? Thanks in advance
amzn.to/3GLdISZ 🤙
I'm 6'6", do you reckon these bikes are large enough for me?
Sunny 1805 is a good option for tall people
If you had the budget to purchase the most entry level indoor cycling bike from a commercial fitness equipment brand like Matrix or Octane or Lifefitness even though those bike have a light flywheel weight would they probably be smarter choice in terms ride feel and also not getting a piece of junk /clothes hanger??
Could be a good move if it’s in good condition. I bought and reviewed a Keiser m3i commercial bike that had tens of thousands of miles on it and appeared to be very old. I spent over a thousand on it, and despite its super lightweight flywheel, it was one of the better bikes I’ve reviewed.
Will the Echelon, work with Zwift?
Will the wahoo cadence sensor work with any non metrics equipped indoor bike?
Any of the cadence sensors - magene, wahoo, garmin, etc - will all fit any indoor (or outdoor) bike; they just strap onto the crank arm, most run off their own coin-cell, and then pair with your smart watch or phone.
Have you looked at the yesoul G1? All other reviews seem sponsored a d looking for a real review.
Can you do a review on the Yesoul G1 Max Elephant bike?
I was looking at the Amazon page for the sunny sf-b1002 and it said in the customer questions section "The issue with this bike is if you use it regularly like 3-4 times a week for 30-45 min each time, it will break in 6 months." Do you just have to accept that these cheaper bikes will crap out sooner than more expensive ones?
The old saying “buy once, cry once” may be true for these bikes. If a $200 bike broke down after 6 months of use, and you’re using it that much, it might be time to upgrade to one of the premium bikes at that point. I personally can’t speak on the west and tear and durability of these bikes for those conditions. If anyone reading this has any long term reports, please drop a comment here.
Now, do they make an E-bike version? I want to farther in one place lol.
So I have a condo, which really is the quiet one and has tension, the magnetic ones, I am leaning towards the Schwinn IC4
It’s really quiet and smooth, I think it makes sense for your situation
I am looking yo purchasing a spin bike. I want to spend about 350. I am looking for a bike that is more upright. What do you recommend?
Thanks for all your reviews. I was considering doing a Peloton lease, but didn’t like their customer service reviews and crazy monthly fees. Last night a Best Buy fire sale popped up for $499 for the IC4 and decided to buy it. They have extended returns for the season, so I bought it, and decided to do my research afterwards. Seems at that price it’s the best, quality bang for the buck out there. I didn’t tell wife yet, as I think wanted the “Peloton” status. Worst comes to worst, I’ll return it, but I’m looking forward to it. Still trying to figure out which app to use. Peloton, Apple Fitness or Zwift.
I'm on the fence. Especially due to the subscription and because the Nordic track looks like the winner but is just too much
How’s it working out?
@@TailHappyTV I love it! It's so smooth, quiet and sturdy. I've been an outdoor biker (mainly mountain) my whole life and had always hated indoor cycling. This, with the available e-classes, has made it so much more interesting. I also like the available options that I can pick whatever e-platform that I want. I put it in front of my big screen TV in my basement, so a Peloton screen would've added no benefit for me. The wife wasn't interested, so it's all mine now. Very glad I actioned it and thanks for all your reviews!
@@matthewaltomare7629 I'm getting a peloton. Ic4 is running for a 1000 atm
@@mv3671 when I’m signed into my BestBuy account (via website) it still shows me for $499. I think they give you the lowest price of the season when you’re actually logged in. $499 is really tough to beat.
What bike is at 0:11? I can't figure it out
Stryde bike
What about the Yesoul G1 Elephant?
Have you any thoughts on the Joroto X4S? It appears to be their latest upgrade 🤔
Looks interesting, perhaps I should grab one
I would love to see that review and comparison to the X2
Hey there! I recently stumbled upon your video about the exercise bike and I couldn't agree more with the importance of having a good workout routine in our daily lives. That's why I wanted to share my experience with freebeat Lit Bike.
Best bike with drop handlebars?
I think the cyclace is the only one I’ve seen with drop bars
Best Buy has a Bowflex C7 for $280.99 right now, but YMMV as I hear that it depends where you're located in order to get it online; but if you can get it, IMO, it's the best bike you can get under $1000. Got it 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it so far.
You’ve not reviewed a yesoul bike?
its the same as this bike I think:
ruclips.net/video/KIDj_esklic/видео.html
Recommend me a bike to flush lactic acid after leg workouts and to get my legs up to play beer league hockey.... Go internet!
I waited for the proform review and never got it 😭. I know i see it in the room.
search my channel, its here
Hey there! As a fellow lover of exercise bikes, I just wanted to share with you my experience with freebeat's Lit Bike. It has completely changed my daily workout routine and, honestly, my life. The fusion of music and rhythm that is incorporated into the workout is truly impressive. It's like having a personal DJ that sets the beat for your every pedal stroke. I love how the scoring system keeps me motivated and focused on syncing my cadence with the beat of the music. The Lit Bike isn't just a bike, it's a comprehensive fitness journey. The off-bike exercises are just as challenging and rewarding as the on-bike experience.
sunny 002 is now more expensive than the yosuta
I can't believe you recommended the Schwinn IC4. I've had one for a year and it's a piece of crap. The left hand pedal has a right hand thread! *&%$@! It's not rocket science to know that a right hand thread on the left side will cause the pedal to fall off pretty fast. I've gone through bottles of loctite and the whole bike squeaks so bad I can't stand riding it. It's junk and is not cheap at $800.
budget lol
