YOSUDA PRO Magnetic Exercise Bike Friction Bike 400-300 lbs Weight Capacity

It took me a "minute" to choose this bike. This is my 1st stationary bike. It is very easy to use, and assemble (still takes some time, but it is easy: good directions are included), easy to adjust Tension on it, has good functionality, good speed and stability, and ultimately, very enjoyable. The way I decided on Yosuda, is by finding a bike with most reviews, with average of 4.5 stars. Then I tried to figure out the differences between different models of Yosuda. The reason I liked this model is because it has magnetic tension, which will never need any maintenance, as opposed to mechanical tension, where the pads need to be changed out. Due to magnetic tension, it is much quieter, which I also liked much more than the noisier, less expansive bikes. And also, this model has 2 adjustments for the steering: up and down, plus closer and away. This particular feature, I knew, was important to me. I don't like to exercise in a suggested bent-over pasture. I have never been a "real" bicyclist. I want to exercise while sitting up-right. And indeed, with all the adjustments, I am able to do exactly that: sit upright while exercising. Note about the seat: provided seat is of very high quality: it is fairly sizy, yet fairly light. The one quality I was looking for was comfort. And it was as comfortable as a high performance seat can be. But I had my own comfortable seat that was not high performance, and was a lot heavier than the included seat. But for a stationary bike, it does not matter. So I swapped it, and it is significantly more comfortable than the included seat. But my seat is of lesser quality, and it creeks a little bit when I use the bike. Probably a little oil can fix that. Anyway, between quality parts and good design, it is a great stationary bike.

I've had for a year now and haved used regularly. Overall it works well. Build quality feels sturdy. But... some of the finer details fall short. For example the electronic LED screen is not backlit and can be very hard to see if the room is not well lite such as a cloudy day. I found a way to use a flashlight with a magnetic base to overcome this fault. Also the screen needs to be adjusted too just the right angle to see good. Also the fore and aft adjustment for the handlebars looks great in the merchandising photos but sliding adj. back to where I need it, the pinch bolt cannot be tightened because of poor design. The seat height could use more options. Also if more than one person is using and the seat height needs frequent changing, you must use EXTREME care to not strip out the threads. If they did strip, it could potentially ruin the bike. That certainly could use a better design. Finally the resistance adj. could be better. Although the magnetic resistance works well and is nice and quiet, I cannot adj. enough resistance for me to stand and pedal as I would like. I feel like one more magnet could solve that issue. Before I purchased this bike I shopped local brick and mortars and saw better known brand names with much higher price points that looked like very similar design with very similar flaws. Overall this bike seems to be holding up good mechanically and I use it alot. For the price I can work through the flaws and get a good workout. I would buy again.

This has been a great addition to my home gym. The delivery actually showed up three days earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. Assembly was much easier than I expected. It took me around 20 minutes, and the manual was really well written and easy to follow. I didn’t have to sit there trying to figure out what went where, which I definitely appreciated. The machine also feels very solid. I’m 6 ft tall and about 230 lbs, and even when I pedal fast and really push on it, it stays stable and doesn’t shake around. So far, I’m very happy with it. It feels sturdy, was easy to put together, and I’m looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it.

I have knee problem preventing me from exercise. This summer I tried road biking and it works without knee pain. Then I worried about cold seasons. I did a thorough research both in Amazon and YouTube and decided to buy this one. It turned out to be so good that even my wife who doesn't care about biking fall in love with it:) You need to do descend research before buying an exercise bike because it is difficult to return for its weight and size. YouTubers don't seem to favor this one. I choose to trust Amazon review. It's rock solid and no touch pad. I used to be a mechanical engineer and would say no any maintenance for years to come. It's magnetic and ghost quiet. You can do exercise while watching TV, Apple TV, YouTube or listen to music. I figured that I can pedal it reversely to have zero impact on my knees. You pull the pedals from 2 o'clock to 10 o'clock or stretch it from 7 o'clock to 4 o'clock. Or auxiliary. The cal. burning rate is the same. You may need some practice to get used to it. The reverse motion actually minic knee rehab exercise while burning cals. I noticed they improve my knees over time. Some people have issues about the pedals fall off on the older model. I noticed this new model reinforced the pedals. Some people may put too high resistance and apply too much body weight on the pedals. Being a road biker, I can tell how much resistance to simulate real biking experience. For an average exercise biker, It's 100 cal., 3 miles, about 15(running) to 30 minutes(relaxing). That's about the right resistance. You'll see you don't have much weight on the pedals. In real road biking, if you put more weight than that, you'll getting faster and faster and tired soon or lost balance. If you really like more weight on the pedals, you are a mountain hiker. I think the 350 lbs means the structure can support a person with that weight, not on the pedals because belt drive mechanical system is for quiet and high speed, not for heavy weight. A 150 lb.-ft. torque is in the range of a car engine which uses gear drive. Youtubers complain that it has no fancy screen functions or online program. It serves my interest. I think those are for the people feel boring. If you can watch YouTube, Amazon Prime movie, Apple TV, etc. and listen to home theater music, why you need those bells and whistles. Some people complain about the screen is too dark. I agree. But products need trade off in design. If you want it brighter, you'll need to change battery frequently or hook up to electricity that is a no to me. For me to fix the problem, I bought a motion sensing light strip (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1QCR88N?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and put it on the ceiling of the basement above the bike. It works perfectly for me. Some small size people have issues about the handle bar too far away. I kind of agree. I am 5'7" and ride on a 27" road bike. It's farther away than a 27" road bike. I can raise the height of the handle bar so it isn't a problem for me. For shorter people, it may be too far away. Hope new version can fix it. The screw hole on the handle bar actually goes through. If you want to fix it yourself, you can drill an M8 hole on the base, move the handle bar about 2 inch closer. It took me one hour. See attached picture. Some have issues with the seat. I feel the seat is very comfortable compare to my road bike. But after about 30 minutes run, I felt numbness of my butt, which never happen in road biking. Then I switched the seat with my road bike. The result is the same. Numbness on the indoor cycling. No such thing on road biking. It proved that it is the nature of stationary bike - because you sit still, no bump, it hampers blood circulation. The way I deal with it is to get off every 30 minutes or so, or create artificial bumps.

I've had a few exercise cycles in the past and each ended up largely unused mainly because of the un-natural feel while riding, or the poor ergonomics. I choose the Yosuda L-010 over some of the better known brands because it seemed like for the price, heavy duty build, heavy flywheel, belt drive and magnetic resistance seemed like a nice feature set. I ordered completely prepared to return if I didn't love it. Well, its early yet, but I love it! It came excellently packed without even minor box damage, which is unusual for an item this heavy and non-balanced in the box. Assembly was simple. They nicely provide an extra for each nut, washer, and fastener. If you have real wrenches on hand, save yourself some time and just use the real thing. The supplied wrench tools are probably adequate for someone who doesn't have the tools on-hand but are going to be tougher to really tighten well. The riding feel is excellent. The heavy flywheel and magnetic resistance make the ride very smooth. The magnetic resistance seems to be more than sufficient for both my current needs and my anticipated needs as my conditioning improves. The belt drive and magnetic resistance make this bike silent. Not just quiet, but silent. People in the same room would probably not know you were riding if they couldn't see you doing it. The frame is nice and heavy and solid, with both pin and pressure holding the seat post (no slipping from desired height setting). I wish the handlebar post had the same pin system, but it has not been an issue, and bears far less weight. If it ever moves I may drill some holes for pins. I use on a vinyl plank floor with a pad underneath. I might switch to only having the pad under the 4 contact points. I don't get any slippage on the floor, nor any movement or swaying on the bike. There are some bits that are not perfect, but I was expecting them and was most concerned with good riding mechanics. I see some comments about seat comfort and I'm not sure they are referring to this model. I found the seat to be reasonably comfortable (better than other cycles I have had or tried). It seems well made and I have had no slippage of the covering. Its too early to say how I'll feel about it after an extended time, but so far I am not tempted to replace it. The caged pedals are functional, but there are certainly better pedals out there if you care about that. They are standard sized and easy to upgrade. The water bottle clip doesn't seem like its going to last very long, but again it seems to be a standard mount and should be easy to replace/upgrade. The computer/monitor is very basic and as others have noted, hard to read in the wrong lighting. If you are hoping this bike will provide lots of useful data or advanced functionality from the monitor this cycle is probably not for you. I use while wearing a fitbit, and the total duration and keeping myself in the right heart-rate zones for fat burn or cardio is all I am really interested in. Some nice features to have, which this cycle does not, would be a reading to let you know how much resistance you have dialed in, or even better, automatic change of resistance linked to a heart rate monitor to keep you at a certain rate. I knew up front what to expect and for the money I was willing to trade off on the monitoring.

I bought this around 5 months ago and it made loud rumbling and clicking sounds right out of the box, however, it was tolerable and the ride was pretty smooth. Recently the bike started making even louder clanking and screeching noises on the flywheel so I decided to just dissect the bike and figure out the issue. Essentially, there are two bolts on each side of the flywheel that keeps the flywheel straight and in place. The bolts push against a metal cube connected to the axel of the wheel. Over time, these bolts loosen which causes the flywheel to go crooked and make loud clanking sounds. However, tightening the bolts will not fix the issue. You need to straighten the flywheel and have it aligned while tightening the bolts. If the flywheel is not straight and u tighten the bolts, your flywheel will still be crooked, the sounds will persist and the belt may come off. If you tighten the bolts too much, it will push the axel into the flywheel, which will cause loud screeching and friction. If you let the bolts out too loose, the belt will fall off. Ultimately I noticed that a lot of the parts inside the bike were not made cohesively and the build quality was kind of cheap. A lot of the parts were not 'fit' to specifications and felt kind of loosely assembled. For example, the bolt mechanism holding the flywheel in place was pretty poorly built and the axel holding the flywheel in place was loose and constantly scraping the flywheel. The little metal cube on the axel was not centered in the middle of the wheel when it came right out of the box and had been scraping the wheel for some time.. One of the corners of the cube is already gone from scraping against the wheel. TL;DR - If your flywheel is making noises, it is probably some part of the axel or mechanism holding the wheel in place touching the flywheel when u ride. You need to use the two bolts on each side of the flywheel to try to balance the flywheel. The product is somewhat poorly assembled and the parts are not 'cohesive' so it isnt necessarily easy to straighten the flywheel. You get what you pay for.

Nice magnetic resistance bike, lots of adjustability. Great workout as long as you dont want max resistance to stand up and ride (see below). But a sit down ride is fine. Couple cons which im removing 1 star for: - the brake pad is on the same track as the magnets, so as you turn the knob and increase resistance (basically moving the magnets closer to the wheel), eventually you will hit max resistance b4 the brake pad starts rubbing on the wheel to stop. The issue is if you really want heavy resistance, such as to stand up to ride like you see in spin classes, you wont get it, the brake pad engages before you get there. I actually got a sand paper and filing tool, and sanded down the brake pad so I could get more resistance. There really is no use for a brake pad (when would you ever use brakes on this bike?) except to prevent the magnets from hitting the wheel. But they could have made the brake pad less thick on their own vs me having to sand it down. - the seat & pedals I'd say are average, but easily interchangeable so I swapped them out for my own after-market seat & pedals (pedals use 9/16th inch bearings which are standard on most bikes). My issue is the seat post, which has pre-cut holes or spacers 1 inch apart, as you go up to say level 7 height (which is max on this bike, for a 6ft plus man), there will be unbearable squeaking on the seat post as you ride. Its just due to the torque of a human adult body pedaling with the post up that high. Even with the knob tightened all the way to hold it, it squeaks incessently like a broken hamster wheel. Since I workout in the AM, even with me being in a separate room with door closed and fan on, my GF (who is trying to sleep) would come and yell at me that it's "too much squeaking!" and I had to shut it down. So now I had to lower the post 1 notch to level 6, which really my leg length is 6.5 which isn't available (you either choose 7 or 6), and I used duck tape around the bottom of post to hold it firmer, so there's less or minimal squeaking. It doesnt have to do with the seat itself (I tried 3 different ones), its the seat post and screw knob which is metal on metal. Maybe if they included a rubber washer with the knob it would help. Aside from all this the bike is great and I set it up in front of my standing desk with fans and good monitor, but the iPad holder works just as well. Edit after a couple months: I have the bike dialed in pretty well now. The seat post issue, it helped that I placed a rubber washer on the screw knob (I just bought a set of various size rubber washers and placed the one that fits on there. Why they couldn't include this with the bike IDK). So with the washer, some duck tape, and me manually tightening the screw knob b4 each ride, has seemed to resolve the squeaking issue. I can ride on level 7 height finally, but just have to re-tighten the knob each time b4 the ride (otherwise there will be squeaking). Also got some clip in Delta pedals & shoes which work nicely for the bike, along with a seat that opens up where my tailbone is. All of this stuff can be found on Amazon and fits onto the bike. I dont stand up to ride, just do a sit down ride for maybe 30 min intervals, and its a good workout.

I can recommend this bike, I write this review after about 300 miles of biking and 4 weeks of ownership. I believe a home spin bike can be summarized in one line: the bike you assemble on your own, and then profusely sweat over repeatedly, will need maintenance if you want it to last. I think this bike, with small maintenance will last, and just in case, I purchased the 2 year protection plan. I understand from the other reviews that Yosuda’s warranty reigns for the 1st year and then the protection plan covers the 2nd year. When deciding to purchase this bike, I read a lot of reviews on Amazon and then several “best of 20xx” lists. Yosuda’s base model showed up frequently, which is how I found the updated L-007A model when looking further into the brand. I found the user reviews on Amazon to be daunting because for many of the bikes it was all the same: 4-5 star reviews for people who loved the bike after a minimum number of rides and 1-2 star reviews from people claiming the bike broke on them suddenly. I watched videos for bike maintenance and understood that I would need to maintain the bike should I want it to last. For this model, I feel the pedals are the spot to focus on. Without clip in pedals, and having not threaded the straps correctly the first time, I felt there was a lot of side to side movement with my feet when pedaling. The repeated movement seemed to loosen the pedals and at times I would hear a bird like chirping noise with every pedal rotation. (My cats would stare at the bike when this was happening). Eventually, I started checking the connections between the pedal and the control arm before workouts with the provided wrenches, just make sure they were tight. When they’re tight, I never get any chirping noises. I also rethreaded the straps properly so my shoes are more secure. However, I believe with clip in pedals, there would be less side to side movement because your shoes are securely attached, and I may upgrade the pedals in the future. After every ride, I wipe down the bike with an anti-bacterial wipe and have oiled the flywheel / brake pad twice. The flywheel and brake pad haven’t needed anything but the maintenance guides said to do this after so many rides. By and large, the bike is very quiet when riding and I am very pleased with the purchase. Other than the pedals, I found no real issues for me with the bike, but these could be an issue for others: - The monitor doesn’t have a backlight – I bike next to a tall lamp that I can turn on easily from the bike and a window, whose shade I can operate during a rest (if I lean). Between the two of them, I can always read the monitor’s screen. - The water bottle holder isn’t in a great spot – I can reach it if I lean downwards during a rest. But based on how far I feel I need to lean to reach it, I’m sure others who are shorter may not be able to reach it. - The phone / tablet holder is extremely cheap – it holds my phone in place but the material is the cheapest feeling thing on the whole bike. - The seat – I feel in terms of your typical road bike or spin bike seat, this seat is actually quite comfortable. Its definitely thicker, is more padded than most, and have found the seat very secure in its attachment. - Tools included – I liked that Yosuda provided the wrenches necessary for putting the bike together and that they included a spare wool brake pad.

Very good magnetic spin bike for home usage. Reviewed and compared multiple bikes at various price points and decided on the Yosuda Pro. The build quality, fit and finish is very good and the ride is stable, smooth and very quiet. Plastic components have good thickness and are very durable. The electronic monitor could really use a back-lit screen; not a deal breaker imho because the digital readout is large enough. The seat is a bit hard, but I'm guessing it is due to the fact it's new and it will soften up over time. The rollers are similar to those found on rollerblades and not the hard square edged type; maneuverability on both carpet and hard surfaces is excellent.

LIRE MÀJ 2024 NOUVEAU MODÈLE CI-BAS! Une fois installé, le vélo fait ce qu’il a à faire. Aucun bruit, simple, efficace. 4 étoiles parce qu’à ce prix, on peut laisser beaucoup passer. Autour du vélo, tout le reste laisse toutefois à désirer. Les instructions (en anglais seulement) ne sont pas claires et les pièces ne suivent pas le kit de pièces reçu. Serrer fort avec leur tourne écrou multiple s’est soldé par leur tourne écrou qui s’est brisé sur deux de ses outils. L’ajustement en profondeur du guidon est bancal et limité. Le bouton Stop reste bloqué sur Stop incorrectement. La rotation du siège exige de dévisser deux écrous. Le moniteur est à batteries et en MPH et en Miles, sans possibilité de KM et KM/h. Le porte iPad est très élevé. Le fil de connexion au moniteur est externe et très visible. Les roues de déplacement sont difficiles à atteindre et à utiliser. Le banc mériterait de pouvoir se descendre 5cm plus bas pour les enfants. Mais à ce prix, je ne m’attendais pas à plus. Travail réussi et à recommander. Mise à jour 2024: le premier que j’ai acheté (modèle précédent) se rendait à 350lbs. Hormis d’avoir mis un peu de lithium sur la vis de force parce qu’elle couinait, il fonctionne encore parfaitement. Nous venons d’en acheter un nouveau, petite activité de couple! Hélas, le nouveau modèle est limité à 300lbs et non pas à 350 comme l’ancien modèle. Comme je fais 6pi4, c’est facile d’arriver trop près de la limite de 300. Je vais donc continuer de prendre l’ancien modèle pour moi, et mon amoureuse va prendre le nouveau. Par joie, ils ont corrigé certains irritants sur le nouveau modèle. Le manuel est toujours en anglais, mais la console est beaucoup plus claire à lire. Toujours à recommander à ce prix, mais encore un autre appareil que je ne pourrai plus acheter parce que trop près de mon poids réel.

This bike is smooth and solid, only complaint but I knew before buying is it’s hard to see the lcd. A backlit version would be great. It’s fine in a bright room. The build quality is great for me. I’m 5’9” and 195lbs.

So sturdy well built quiet, love this bike great price. I would compare it to the same quality as the bikes at my gym.

Easy to assemble and to use. Makes no noise and the monitor is easy to use as well.
