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

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.

I'm on this thing as I write this. I've had it for about 6 months and I use it 2-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes at a time. I absolutely love it. I wanted something comfortable with preset workouts and a simple interface. It checks all the boxes. I'm not sure how accurate the calorie count and heart rate monitors are, but I don't really need them so it doesn't matter to me. Just a fun nice to have. It's similar to machines I like to use at the gym and I can perch myself on it and comfortably workout and work or watch TV. The resistance levels give a really great workout too - it can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. Assembly took me a couple hours. I expected that. If a product is such a good price, of course you have to do some of the work assembling it. The instructions were easy to follow, it's just a bit tedious. Be very careful about which pedal goes on which side so you don't strip the threading. I almost did this. All in all, a nice simple machine that hasn't given me any problems in several months of regular use. If you want something more extreme, get a spin bike. If not, this is just fine for a casual user.

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 help 2.0 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 safe Starting out with 4* rating but should really be like 3.25 or 3.5.

Comes in a big box but not that big and it's heavy. The setup may be confusing on one part. The bottom piece which I did not know was part of the packing frame. You have to take that off then putting it together per manual makes sense. Not quite clear in the instructions. I thought you put the real part on it and it wouldn't go on. Took me a while to realize what was wrong. I put it together myself but, of course, it's easier with two persons The bike sits HIGH but solid. Everything works (so far) The screen is that high-contrast blue so it kinda of glows but it is not bright and you can clearly see everything. No problem here. Comes with lots of features and pre-made exercise options and 4 you can make your own. What I like about it is the screen is only set at 10-minutes. Makes the exercise seems shorter and loops automatically ad infinitum if you like long workouts which you can also change on the fly or make all the ranges harder by pressing one button. The seat is fairly comfortable and you can make more so by using vinyl preservatives on it like Armorall and the seat will be "greased" like and not so sticky if you find it uncomfortable. Had it for a couple of months and no trouble at all. Highly recommend this over reclining bicycles if you have no back or seating troubles. I hated using those but this is more natural and actually look forward to using it nearly every day. The color graph you see in pictures is actually painted on and is a guide for heart rates. I was going to get the manual version of this bike since when the electricity goes off I thought the "electronic" model would be useless. Though, not advertised, I found out the bike will retain its last mode automatically when unplugged so I leave it at 4 bars when I'm finished should the electricity go out I can still use it at a moderate resistance. That's what convinced me to buy it plus they dropped the price to near the same level as the manual one.

UPDATED: I'm so disappointed that our bike broke. The gears started sounding strange. We could still workout, but then the gears just broke and now there's no resistance at all. I liked everything else about this bike (except maybe the seat being somewhat uncomfortable), but after 2 months it's unusable and we have to deal with returning during the pandemic, and also finding something else so we're not dormant for too long. We needed this for cardio and health reasons, so I'm very upset it didn't even last a season. Sadly, I won't be purchasing from Sunny again. OLD REVIEW: It's a basic bike but it's really held up! It's super quiet, took about 1-1.5 hours to assemble with two people, and is easy to move. It look up much less space than I thought it would and it moves to the side of our small apartment very easily, using the wheels or not. It's not a Peleton, but the basic workout functions are all I need. It also looks pretty nice, the handles are comfortable, and track HR - though I have to hold it for a bit to do so. There's a nice water bottle holder and shelf for my phone so I can watch shows or listen to music at the same time. Well worth the price, and I don't miss the gym!

Fast shipping, super easy to put together as all nuts and bolts are already where they need to be. Just unscrew attach and screw back together. The unit is compact/ easy to move and durable but doesn't feel small when cycling. The bike offers simple yet effective electronics to keep track of heart rate, distance, calories burned etc. The water holder and tablet/phone stand are nice additions at this price point. Would definitely recommend to family and friends!

I have been using past few years and very simple and PERFECT for my use. Lent it to my brother who had knee replacement . He LOVED it for rehabbing his knee.

The bike was easy to assemble. It worked great for me until the belt broke, which only lasted two weeks. When the belt broke, there was no resistance and no use for the bike. I returned it to Amazon immediately. I had to pay $40+ to have it shipped back. The computer is very cheap looking and the heart monitor doesn’t work.

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.

Excelente producto, la calidad es muy buena

Amazon eliminó mi comentario anterior, pero en esencia: este producto funcionó muy bien 6 meses, uso casero, y luego se descompuso la computadora central, los pedales dejan de tener resistencia. Cuando busco servicio me dice el vendedor que solo hay garantía de 30 días. Cuando busco servicio técnico resulta que solo lo dan en EUA. En México no hay servicio específico para la marca y opciones de servicio cuestan casi lo mismo que el producto original.

Todo iba bien hasta después de 2 meses y medio de uso moderado. Se perdió la resistencia del pedal, al igual que han comentado otros compradores el pedal deja de funcionar. No recomiendo el producto, en general tiene funciones muy buenas y diversos programas de entrenamiento pero el asiento es bastante incómodo y ahora inservible con esto del pedal. Espero la garantía me la hagan efectiva.

Rechina con el tiempo
