YOSUDA Indoor Cycling Bike Brake Pad – Cycle with Ease

My Impressions of the Yosuda Exercise Bike!
I received my order of the Yosuda Exercise Bike yesterday afternoon. I want to the Amazon employee for bringing this item and leaving it by the front door. I brought it inside and proceeded to put it together. As I explained in my video, posted earlier, this bike is very easy to put together. You’ll want to start with the base pieces. Use the two large screws and place those caps on top. You can use the wrench provided or you can use your own. I found it necessary to turn the bike upside down and then add these pieces. You can do it by yourself but, if you have someone helping out, they can hold the bike steady while you add these parts. It doesn’t take long.Next, turn the bike rightside up and begin working on the pedals. You’ll need to turn the pedal screw, counter clockwise. If you try to install it clockwise, it’s not going to work. Use the L pedal for the left side, and the R pedal for the right side. You can’t miss the letters marked on each pedal. Next, it’s on to the seat bar. It’s easy to install, just remove the knob and slide it in for now. You can adjust it later. Add the seat bar, than the seat itself. Move on to the Handlebar post. Do the same and remove the knob and slide the post in. You’ll have to unscrew it completely in order for both posts to go in. Put the knobs back in once they’re in position.Add the Handlebar post. You will see two wires at the front of the bike. Make sure that when you screw in the Handlebar post, the wires remain in the very front of the bike. See my video for more clarification. You can add the bike monitor to the top of the Handlebar post. It has a slot, just slide it in. Add the input with the two wires to the hole on the backside of the monitor – this will be the right side. Add the input that connects to the side of the front wheel to the back of the monitor in the hole on the left side. I’m looking at the back of the monitor when I’m making reference to the right or left side. You’ll be in front of the bike doing this. It may be a challenge to do it while you’re on the bike. That’s pretty much it.I like this bike. It’s not too heavy. It does have a little bit of weight but you can move it around if necessary. The most noticeable feature is the bike is quiet. I mean, I rode my Schwinn Exercise Bike for years. That product was very noisy. This one, the Yosuda Exercise Bike is so quiet, it may take getting used to. I’m pleased with this bike. I hope it last as many years as my Schwinn Exercise Bike.

Worthwhile purchase; but know that the NOT ALL MODELS ARE MAGNETIC
I purchased this stationary bike about 1 year ago (Classic Model), and it’s had reasonable use between my different family members in the interim (few times per week, on average). It has been solid. Good weight to it, so it doesn’t feel cheap while you’re riding, and it’s pretty quiet- not so quiet that I feel like I can ride at night next to my sleeping spouse; but quiet enough that I’m not annoyed by the sound while i’m using it. The tiny wheels in the front support ease of bike movement, though, I generally keep it in one place, so I can’t assess how it or the floor holds up being moved around a lot. My biggest issues are fairly minor; the tablet stand feels/is flimsy and to me, feels like the aspect of the bike that received least consideration and/or resources; it feels a bit cheap and can vibrate a bit if you nudge it during a workout; however, it has not dropped my phone or table since purchase, so I can’t complain that much about it. I had intended to purchase a magnetic braking system, and thought that I caught it at a really good price; however, I didn’t review the details… some of the models (higher end) have a magnetic resistance system; while the less expensive models use “classic” friction. That being said; it still has worked well for me, and still feels like it provides consistent resistance throughout a workout. Some additional minor annoyances include: the heart rate monitor doesn’t work well in my household; you have it hold it in just a certain way, then you feel like you’re holding your breath while watching the heart symbol flash endlessly, to see if it will report a number; which only happens, at best half of the time; ultimately being more distracting and annoying than helpful. Also, the monitor is not very secure on the bike, so it will vibrate some while you’re into your ride. I can’t say that I’ve ever found a stationary bike seat particularly comfortable; but this seat is certainly no less comfortable than others. I’d also mention that bike maintenance (re-tightening bolts,…) has been fairly low so far (maybe every 4-6mo); and mostly related to the seat. The ability to make multiple seat adjustements is a double-edged sword for my household as we have multiple riders of different heights and arm/leg lengths. Would be easier if the adjustments were a little easier to make (dials/knobs) vs. screws/bolts. Overall I do like it and am still happy that I purchased it; though, I do think about whether or not I should have spent the extra $ and gone for the magnetic resistance system.

Happy Returning Customer
Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is my second Yosuda stationary bike. I bought my first one when COVID started and it lasted five years while using it almost every day. I live in an apartment and it’s quiet also.
