Sunny Health & Fitness Exercise Bike w/Pulse Sensors & Adjustable Cushion Seat, Home Cardio Training Machine for Adults/Seniors’ Indoor Cycling Workout, Optional Compact Foldable or Electro-Magnetic

Solid Bike. Good workouts. Great Value.
I use the SF-B2883 for daily exercise, since the winter is snowy in New York City and the gym I usually use is closed due to Covid. I would have preferred to buy a recumbent bike since that’s what I’m used to using at the gym, but the compact footprint of the B2883 is much better suited to apartment living. I’ve been using the bike for just a month so far and I am very pleased with my purchase.I was concerned that the quality of the bike might be low because it was relatively inexpensive. But that was not the case. It’s solidly constructed and works well. And, before I forget to mention it, it was easy to assemble. Most of the bolts and other hardware come already affixed to the area of the bike to which they will be permanently fastened. This saves you a lot of time–you don’t have to look through a pile of hardware each step of the way.The ride is consistently smooth and it’s quiet thanks to the belt drive. The electromagnetic resistance works well (so far, I’ve only been using a singe intermediate resistance level). The console is not as sophisticated as those on commercial gym bikes, but it certainly has all the stuff I need. The bike is stable when I ride, and also when I get on and off.On the minus side, I find that the seat is not as comfortable as it should be. I may try to find a padded seat cover for it and see if that does the trick. Also, I wish that the handlebars were adjustable because, due to the relative positioning of the seat and handlebars, holding onto the handlebars forces your arms into a leaning position. One of my shoulders is arthritic and this leaning position aggravates it. Since I first wrote this review, I have beeb able to alleviate both these issues somewhat by re-adjusting the seat to a more forward position.So far, I’m very happy with my choice.

It’s getting the job done, taking up a small amount of space, not bad for the cost
Background: I am a gym rat who has no gym to go to. My book, IMO, walking/jogging is a better calorie burning exercise than a bike (3 miles is like 30 miles in Cal burn), …that is just my opinion…but it’s too hot out right now and unfortunately age is catching up to me. Elliptical would be best but space is limited and bike is a compromise during a time of shortage of at home cardio fitness equipment. Plus a high quality treadmill/elliptical is equal to one year at a high end gym. Let’s not get into Peloton.The good… this is a fairly inexpensive temporary solution that takes up a small amount of space. Wanted an upright over a spin/stationary cycle mainly because of the standing/full bent riding position and I don’t like the noisy flywheel design.Putting together. Standard pain in the tush allen wrench self-assembly with some opportunity to use a power tool. 1.5+ hours and would be better if I had an allen wrench driver set or they made it a hex nut.3.5* = Product First impressions…mixed bag. Bottom parts are solid steel. Other parts (like handlebars, cup holder, and the main drive shaft are “aluminum feeling” and “tinny” like most of today’s engineered products to cut costs. This is DEFINITELY not high end gym quality… but hopefully will get me through to the fall when you can walk without the humidity.2.5* the seat to handle bar is about an inch or 2 too far way. Adjusting seat closer helps but I used to have an old Reebok bike I gave away that was way more comfortable for arm positions. Adjusting seat forward seems to help2.0 to 2.5* onboard program unit. Cheap plastic with a place to put your phone/tablet. The computer is simple with no true manual mode, although each individual program can be adjusted. Only had a month + and yes the machine does seem to make noise when switching gears like other reviews have mentioned.3.5* seat. Pretty uncomfortable at first but after finding the sweet zone it’s not bad. 40 minutes is about the max with a couple minutes break but easily can do an hour plus a day. Gel seat cover might help.Durability is the big question mark. I believe it’s rated 240 lbs because if you really press down on main handle bar assembly a strong or heavy person can snap it. Looks like something that will strip with time. Resistance changes seems a little sketchy and I bought the extended warranty just to be safeStarting out with 4* rating but should really be like 3.25 or 3.5.

Muy buen producto, práctico, facil de armar, no estorba. Buen tamaño para casa pequeña.

Actualización a dos meses de uso: la bicicleta podría ser más silenciosa, tiene un ruido notoriamente metálico al pedalear.Las instrucciones de instalación podrían ser más claras:Tuve que usar las instrucciones en vídeo ya que el manual era muy confuso. Tarde dos horas y media para poder armarla.La bicicleta es muy silenciosa: Tuve una con resistencia física y otra de gamma media con resistencia magnética y ambas eran “ruidosas” en comparación con la Sunny Health.Multiples programas: Tanto para principiantes como expertos los programas de ejercicios y los niveles de resistencia se ajustan a tus necesidades. En lo particular me agrada que cambie el nivel de resistencia cada minuto. Hace más divertidas las rutinas.Monitoreo: Desde el monitoreo de la frecuencia cardiaca hasta el seguimiento de las calorías y los watts usados en la rutina. El único detalle aquí es que el sensor de frecuencia cardiaca no es muy preciso.Se ve y se siente sólida y bien construida, con materiales resistentes y buena calidad. Me gustaría que pudiera funcionar con baterías.El adaptador de corriente podria tener un cable más grueso y largo. Realmente parece de baja calidad.Calidad, a un precio que no se puede mejorar. Considero que tiene las características de una bicicleta de ejercicios de gamma media a un precio increíble.Actualizaré esta revisión en unas semanas. Solo tuve la oportunidad de probarla en dos sesiones de ejercicio.
