Hey there! I was searching for the "BEST indoor cycling bike UNDER $500 for Apple Fitness+ cycling or Peloton App, etc" and stumbled upon your video. I'm glad I found it because I've been looking for a bike that fits my budget. I have to say, your in-depth review of each bike was really helpful. However, after checking out the freebeat Lit Bike, I have to say, it has caught my attention. The fusion of music and rhythm into the workout sounds like an amazing idea. I'm all about the motivational workout journey and scoring system sounds like it would keep me engaged and motivated to push myself. I'm definitely going to check out more information about freebeat and the Lit Bike. Thanks for sharing your reviews and recommendations, it's great to have options when it comes to finding the perfect workout equipment.
Thank you for these videos! I've just purchased my first bike. I started with the Yosuda, but cancelled after not getting a delivery date fast enough and switched over to that Sunny and after watching your videos it's pretty clear that was the much better choice. Thanks so much for your reviews and info!
Hey there, I stumbled upon your post about "exercise bike" and wanted to share my experience with freebeat Lit Bike. This bike has completely changed my daily workout routine and has had a significant impact on my life. The fusion of music and fitness on this bike is truly immersive and engaging. The Lit Bike's scoring system keeps me motivated to hit my fitness goals while the off-bike exercises allow me to mix up my routine. I also appreciate the inclusivity of freebeat, as they offer classes for various fitness levels and have a supportive community. I highly recommend the Lit Bike to anyone looking for a comprehensive workout experience. Thank you for sharing your post and reminding me of the important role that exercise bikes, specifically the Lit Bike, play in our daily lives.
I have had my Sunny Synergy for 3 years. No complaints. I did replace the cage pedals with the Sunny cage/clip on pedals. I also will replace the standard display with the upgrade monitor. With your height you may want to consider the Synergy Pro.
This is the exact video i am looking for, just bought a Joroto after watching tons of videos, it is sturdy and very quite. Now my wife also enjoys riding.
I got into indoor cycling recently perhaps more than a few months ago and love it, truly helped me lose weight but gain in muscle and core strength. I think I'm going for Joroto for easy maintenance (magnetic strip FTW). I'd love to get one like the ones at my local gym but those freemotions are like 1k Jesus lol.
Loved the video. You gave a great synopsis of each bike, giving folks options. I got my replacement Sunny 1805 yesterday and can tell the difference. The first bike wasn't packaged a securely as the replacement and I had a time attaching the stabilizer bars and pedals on the 1st bike. No problems this time and I had the bike together in 30 minutes. So far so good. I will ride every day to see if I develop any issues again with the pedals. Keep up the reviews. I hope Sunny sends you some bikes to review although I have no idea where you're going to put them, lol. Looking forward to your thoughts on the Sunny 1805. I think you'll be impressed. I am. Thanks.
Mr Wilson 610 Oh man. It's hard to decide when you may be able to save more money. I read an article that attempted to explain why some items price dropped but it still seems random to me. After almost a week of watching the price drop, I decided to get it because a couple days later it was back at $599. Keep watching it though and hopefully it'll drop again.
@@ronron3847 I ended up going with the Sunny Synergy 1879 on sale for $454. Couldn’t find much in the way of video reviews, but most of the negative reviews weren’t that bad.
@Mrwilson 610 I'm glad you found something. This is my second Sunny bike purchase. I bought the SFb 901 several years ago and it's still in great shape. I think you'll like it. I noticed the 1805 went up to $769 on Amazon. That's higher than Sunny site. But Sunny is sold out. Happy riding.
A beginner here! Cancelled the Yosuda for the Sunny based on your video. Got the Sunny with your link at $302 on Prime Day 😎 Thank you for your video 👏🏼
I should have listened to this review! I can confirm you are right. The Yosuda must only be popular because people don’t know better. I had one and just got an Ic4. The feel is night and day. I never used a magnetic resistance bike. It’s way smoother and even. Also the sturdiness is way better. My Yosuda also broke on me. The pedal snapped off. For sure anyone seeing this should listen to this video! It’s definitely worth the extra money. You think you are saving money but what good is it if it doesn’t even last a year.
I purchased the Yosuda in Oct 2020 and after 3 months of use (2-3 times a week), one of the pedals came off. We tried putting it back but somehow the screw would not align so it was no longer stable for me. Returned. So, now I’m back on a hunt for another indoor cycling bike. Thank you for this!
Hey, Great video! I’m looking to get my first bike for daily exercise. I don’t care about the screen or cadence or anything like that. I just want to simple and easy to maintain bike that has a really smooth drive train. I’m really torn between the Echelon and Sunny bikes showcased in this review. Which one of these two do you think has the higher build quality, easier to maintain, and smoothest drive train?
Sunny seems to be the bike I need. I don't want to get any electronics. I want no electric outlets so that I can plug and move around either in my garage or other place in my house. I rather use my heart rate monitor and my lesmills app. Thats all I need.
Know this is a 3yo vid but you need to do a review of the Joroto X4S Blue Tooth I just orderd one for $459.99 from Amazon very excited to get it. Arriving tomorrow I used your videos primarily to choose my indoor exercise bike and it came down to either a Bowflex C6/Schwinn IC4 for $1k or the Joroto X4S for $540 less. Chose the Joroto due to it was 46% cheaper And I honestly feel confident the Joroto X4s is a better over all design Although I did find the Bowflex C6 FS at the Bowflex WS for $600 the large numbers of very poor reviews of Bowflex CS in fixing any issues with their products put me off buying the C6 bike from them.
Best one I have is a free sunny fitness sf-b1423 belt drive with lcd read out off Craigslist- free! Post pandemic lock downs many these are being given away for free as people need get rid stuff to move.
Just ordered the Joroto. Has a $20 coupon right now so $379 total and I had $19 in rewards points, came out to $360. This is my first indoor bike. I am very out of shape so I really hope this thing will help me get in shape! Does anyone know have any good tips for someone who is a bit overweight and out of shape that is just starting out with indoor cycling? 😄
Both Joroto and Sunny are good pick for Peloton Diy, within 350, you have joroto x1s and Sunny 1002. Remember they are not magnetic. The cheapest magnetic one is X2, now 449. with 2000+ reviews. Or Sunny 1805 cost a bit more, 599.
Thank you for the thorough review. I am buying my first bike today or tomorrow. I’m interested and narrowed it down to the ProForma, Schwinn, Sunny or the Connect. I want metrics but definitely want to stay below $700. I’ll binge watch your videos today to help me make a decision. 😁
Hi, I recentlgy bought a Sunny Health and fitness bike SF-B1851 from Amazon. I was torn between that and a Schwinn IC4. I went with the Sunny as I did not want to buy and iPhone or tablet to use it. This is my third bike. This one has magnetic resistance and belt driven and has water bottle holder and weight rack included. I did not want to pruchase bike with notebook like Peleton or subscription must have. I really found this bike to be a great compromise as I do have the bike close to TV of which I do free cycling workouts on youtube. Curious what you thin k about this bike. I paid $ 679 I think on Amazon. Please let m,e know your thoughts? Love your thorough reviews!
I was intrigued by Fitness+ until I realized there's no way for them to track metrics other than heart rate. Read a review this morning and read that the cycling classes don't ever call out resistance/cadence recommendations, which is great for people who have those bikes where resistance can't be measured (like the friction resistance bikes mentioned in this video). However, I definitely prefer recommendations on resistance/cadence to be sure I'm on track and putting in the right amount of effort.
Interesting, I wonder if Apple will add cadence and resistance into the apple fitness plus classes as they add more, I think new classes are going to be released regularly and it seems like they have a variety of fitness levels. Perhaps Apple will come out with a cadence sensor? Thanks for sharing your knowledge Charlie!
Hi there! I have the same bike and had a mat under it for a while and moved my bike and tried it on the carpet, it was just as stable. I have very low pile carpet so I suppose it would depend on how soft/plush your carpet is, but I’ve found the bike is stable enough without a mat
@@han14 thank you! I’m still deciding since the bike won’t be here until February 16th. I’m looking into those connecting mats as well but hopefully I can’t decide soon since I’m going to make a small area to do stretching and yoga as well
This is probably a dumb question, but I'm new to this, so please bare with me ... can you use Apple Fitness with any of these bikes, or do I need to use the apps that are specific to the bike? For example, if I purchased an Echelon bike, could I use my Apple Watch/iPad/iPhone with Apple fitness, or can I only use the Echelon app to get the best integration?
I’m not sure what the current policy is with echelon , they used to give you the metrics, and you didn’t need to sign up for the app if you just went to the free ride section. I’m not sure if you can still do that or not for sure, I think that you can because you used to be able to when I reviewed it. As far as Apple Fitness+, you would just run that on a completely different device and follow along with the instructors, so you can do that on any of these bikes there just isn’t like integration with the stats of your bike.
I don't think it really matters what brand you buy as long as it gives you the results that you are looking for sure the magnetic resistance is probably better than the non-magnetic resistance, do you, I'm pretty happy with my yosuda
Great videos!! I don't know exactly what it means to be Fitness+ compatible. But which of these work well with Apple Watch and Fitness+? Is there some kind of cable or plug?
Indoor cycling is such a great activity for couples and families. Im surprised it has not taken off more as a family activity. Maybe you could sell the idea to indoor cycling companies
Great tips! I bought a Schwinn, Model: SchwinnIC2 about 7 years ago. Hardly used it since I had it for backup whenever I couldn't make it to gym classes. I used it more before pandemia hit and the left pedal broke off!!! I have been trying to get part to fix it but haven't found it. Do you have any idea on where to search for it? Contacted Schwinn directly and no luck! I bought a Tour D France used bike and doing well. Resistance knob is plastic and it disintegrates...
Hello- unrelated but can you tell me what air purifier that is? The white thing that looks like the PS5 previously mentioned.. I’m hoping it’s a purifier.. thanks!!
hey thanks for the video !! , I was wondering my budget is under 1k , I m roughly 185 lbs , 5 11 , which bike would you recommend for that budget?? thanks!
Looking at the Eschelon but then I go to Amazon and the Mekbelt and Bancon look identical but they have a lesser price point. How does one choose which one would be best when they look identical but the price points are differing by $60-$100 at times?
Didn't hear any info on size in the video. Not having any idea how tall the tester is, it's hard to get some idea of what the maximum height and weight for each bike it. As someone who's 6'4", this creates concern on how to find the proper fit.
Even if they did the iCycle will cost $6,000, but it might come with the ability to diagnose all possible health conditions so who knows. May be worth it for some.
I like watching RUclips, Netflix or Amazon prime when I cycle. But I want to have the metrics for the bike such as resistance, calories, RPM etc. Is there a bike or app that can accommodate that?
Awesome! It's really a pretty great bike for the price. Have you had a chance to look at it's big brother, the s22i? I just posted a video on that bike
Would love to see your review of the "SNODE Indoor Cycling Bike Magnetic Resistance Compatible with Zwift" it has great reviews, magnetic resistance, app compatible, and a suspiciously low price ;)
Thank you for sharing your reviews with screenshots. I am undecided on what bike to purchase, as I read many mixed reviews for the bikes featured. I would like that my first fitness bike to be a long-term, wise investment that can help me, mother and my sister.
What is the best inexpensive bike with magnetic resistance, lighter flywheel, and resistance level display? PLEASE REPLY!!!! (A plus would be having the tablet holder)
Thank you for the great content and reviews! I purchased the Echelon Connect Sport bike after your review a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Now I am looking for a good set of dumbbells and a dumbbell holder that would work with this bike, do you have any recommendations?
@@TailHappyTV it’s just frustrating to have something not work new out of the box. Got a hold of Echelon and they are sending out a whole new bike. Hoping for better luck with this next one.
Great review. Quick question please brother. I am 6’7 with a inseam of 38 inches which hike do you think would be the best for my size on this review please? Loving your video btw just found you today
Found an incredible buy today at Menard's of all places; I bought the Proform Carbon CX (list $1299) on closeout for $399! Best Buy has it on sale for $999.

What is better Joroto x2 or echelon x15??
Just got the Echelon Connect Sport from Walmart a few days ago... dang thing is awesome. Thanks for the reviews!
Got it too! And after years of a spin bike this one really is nice and smooth! Loving the bike so far with the peloton app :)

Me too. Glad I came here before hitting the buy it button :) Think I might go with the Sunny.
🤣 ok
I got Yosuda a week ago I didn’t expect much but it was surprisingly great! I’m no expert but for $315 it’s definitely worth. I highly recommend☺️
You dodged a bullet. It broke on me a month in. The pedal literally snapped off. They were nice about it but what a hassle.
Thank you for the great review!! Torn between the Joroto Sunny and Echelon. I'm headed over to your Joroto vs Sunny vid now😆
SF-B1002 or Joroto x2??????

How major of a job is it to adjust the resistance on a pro form bike? My partner just got one and the resistance is way too low.
Have you ever reviewed the Cyclace bike on Amazon?
Debating this. Any feedback?

As far as Apple Fitness+, you would just run that on a completely different device and follow along with the instructors, so you can do that on any of these bikes there just isn’t like integration with the stats of your bike.
@@TailHappyTV Ok great. That kinda clarifies things.
Have you tried any of the Dmasun bikes at all? Trying to decide between one of those or the Joroto while searching on marketplace/OfferUp!
I don't think it really matters what brand you buy as long as it gives you the results that you are looking for sure the magnetic resistance is probably better than the non-magnetic resistance, do you, I'm pretty happy with my yosuda
Hey is there any magnetic resistance bike with arms like air bikes
Your opinion between the synergy pro (sfb1851) and the pro-form 505sx
I found a nice Star Trac and an older Schwinn on the curb lol just keep your eyes open and have a truck or van and you will never pay for anything.
lol, wow, nice find!
Good quick review - you really know your stuff.
Great videos!! I don't know exactly what it means to be Fitness+ compatible. But which of these work well with Apple Watch and Fitness+? Is there some kind of cable or plug?
nice reviews! So the Echelon Connect (x-15 link) is now the sport? yes? Thanks
basically, i have a video showing the differences, and the story what happened
Do u have one for STAGES?
not yet, been looking at it though
Which bike has the strongest resistance?
Sunny 1805
Indoor cycling is such a great activity for couples and families. Im surprised it has not taken off more as a family activity. Maybe you could sell the idea to indoor cycling companies
Great tips! I bought a Schwinn, Model: SchwinnIC2 about 7 years ago. Hardly used it since I had it for backup whenever I couldn't make it to gym classes. I used it more before pandemia hit and the left pedal broke off!!! I have been trying to get part to fix it but haven't found it. Do you have any idea on where to search for it? Contacted Schwinn directly and no luck! I bought a Tour D France used bike and doing well. Resistance knob is plastic and it disintegrates...
Is it better to order the Joroto bike from Amazon or Joroto? Does Amazon accept your TAILHAPPY discount?
Can you recommend a bike to buy in the UK? Sunny don't give any warranty on any UK Web sites.
Hello- unrelated but can you tell me what air purifier that is? The white thing that looks like the PS5 previously mentioned.. I’m hoping it’s a purifier.. thanks!!
Very useful information, looking to buy a great value spin bike for my wife. This was a huge help for my search!
hey thanks for the video !! , I was wondering my budget is under 1k , I m roughly 185 lbs , 5 11 , which bike would you recommend for that budget?? thanks!
Looking at the Eschelon but then I go to Amazon and the Mekbelt and Bancon look identical but they have a lesser price point.
How does one choose which one would be best when they look identical but the price points are differing by $60-$100 at times?
@sunnybikes hook this guy up with more bikes. I bought my sunny bike because of him. If your other bikes are better I buy them too
Which one
Didn't hear any info on size in the video. Not having any idea how tall the tester is, it's hard to get some idea of what the maximum height and weight for each bike it. As someone who's 6'4", this creates concern on how to find the proper fit.
i'm 6'5"
kinda weird Apple doesn't partner with an equipment company to come out with a better integrated solution yet.
Even if they did the iCycle will cost $6,000, but it might come with the ability to diagnose all possible health conditions so who knows. May be worth it for some.
I like watching RUclips, Netflix or Amazon prime when I cycle. But I want to have the metrics for the bike such as resistance, calories, RPM etc. Is there a bike or app that can accommodate that?
Watch my stryde bike review, I think it’s what you’re looking for
The Tour de France is $299 right now! I’m picking one up tomorrow.
Very nice full video
Thank you 😊
Thanks, super helpful!
I would love to put the sunny in my basement. What is the minimum height i need for my ceiling? I am 5'10". Thanks in advance
Costco pro form is on sale right now online . $130 off so $329 out the door .
I've had the proform for about 4 weeks now. Other than your suggestions (new saddle, new pedals), I actually really like it!
Awesome! It's really a pretty great bike for the price. Have you had a chance to look at it's big brother, the s22i? I just posted a video on that bike
Hey, can you recommend a bike for under a adjustable office table? (beside those from flexispot etc, where the saddle is a pain in the ass)
Would love to see your review of the "SNODE Indoor Cycling Bike Magnetic Resistance Compatible with Zwift" it has great reviews, magnetic resistance, app compatible, and a suspiciously low price ;)
saw 1 sec of the video and I'm like this guy must live in Los Angeles
Thank you for sharing your reviews with screenshots. I am undecided on what bike to purchase, as I read many mixed reviews for the bikes featured. I would like that my first fitness bike to be a long-term, wise investment that can help me, mother and my sister.
Any suggestion for a stationary bike that connects to an ipad that shows my stats and progress.
Echelon ex15
excellent review thanks!
Hoping sunny will give you some bikes to try
What is the best inexpensive bike with magnetic resistance, lighter flywheel, and resistance level display? PLEASE REPLY!!!! (A plus would be having the tablet holder)
Please please answer!
I just saw a Sunny brand with 29lb magnetic resistance on Amazon and it is on sale
Please take a look at Yesoul S3
Would love to hear your take on the 1805; hopefully they will hook you up with one!
Thank you for the great content and reviews! I purchased the Echelon Connect Sport bike after your review a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Now I am looking for a good set of dumbbells and a dumbbell holder that would work with this bike, do you have any recommendations?
Check out this weight holder on Etsy. Has a couple options including a weight and shoe holder combo... etsy.me/333lXFD
Sadly just picked up my Echelon connect sport from Walmart and the bike refuses to stay connected with Bluetooth. Guess I’ll go back to my Maxkare!
Weird, I've never had issues with the bluetooth
@@TailHappyTV it’s just frustrating to have something not work new out of the box. Got a hold of Echelon and they are sending out a whole new bike. Hoping for better luck with this next one.
Great review. Quick question please brother. I am 6’7 with a inseam of 38 inches which hike do you think would be the best for my size on this review please? Loving your video btw just found you today
The jorotos’ price on the canadian amazon are insane! 1200$CAN (approx. $950 usd) and the company isn’t shipping in canada 🍁
def not worth that much in my opinion!
Hi Tail,
I got a costco Tour De France bike. I am looking for tablet holder. Do u have any suggestions. Tks
Our big problem is finding one that will fit a smaller person. Like 4’11”. 25” inseam. And a little bit of quality.
Found an incredible buy today at Menard's of all places; I bought the Proform Carbon CX (list $1299) on closeout for $399! Best Buy has it on sale for $999.
Academy has it for $599
Best thing in the world!
