Sunny Health & FitnessMagnetic Belt Drive Indoor Cycling Bike With Optional SunnyFit® App Connectivity

I LOVE my Sunny bike! I generally speaking despise exercise bikes since many of them are poorly designed, squeak, wobble, or otherwise feel a bit on the rickety side. Not this bike. Solid as can be. Quiet and smooth. It was extremely easy to assemble - though beware that it is heavy - and is extremely fun to ride. Well, as fun as anything you use to exercise can be, anyway. A few people told me to go for the more expensive brands, but I chose wisely. This is a really nice machine for the price and I suspect it will last longer than my inclination to exercise on it, though I have happily used it most every day for three months now. I'm not a super motivated biker, but I have stepped up the resistance on the bike and it is smooth and really makes you work. The seat was pretty comfortable as stationary bike seats go, but I did replace it with one a bit wider since I'm a good sized person. I remain impressed with the bike and will say that you can't really go wrong with this Sunny.

I have had this indoor exercise/spin bike for a little over two weeks. Here are my impressions so far:The bike was easy to assemble by myself although some parts were a bit heavy. Everything was very well packed and protected inside one box, which weighed about 140 lbs. (per UPS). The main portion of the bike was already assembled and on the frame (flywheel, resistance dial, etc.). I installed the front and rear stabilizer bars while the bike was in the garage, and then rolled it into my exercise room. In there, I installed everything else (handlebars, pedals, seat, and bottle holder). Took me less than an hour from initial unpacking to final setup.So far the bike has performed well for me. I’ve used it with spin videos I’ve found on YouTube (check out studio sweat on demand) as well as just while reading on my iPad. I am 5’8” and found that I fit fine on this bike. My wife is 5'2" and can use the bike although I need to put the handlebars up higher as she doesn’t like the more elongated road bike set up. The bike rolls easily for moving around your room or house.The magnetic flywheel on this bike is very smooth and very quiet. I have used other spin bikes (primarily Keiser) before and this bike is quieter. The seat is comfortable enough but for longer rides I am planning on getting a cushioned seat cover. The only other item I will probably purchase is a pair of dual sided pedals (one side with a cage and the other side set up for SPD clip in pedaling) but I can wait on this for a bit.My only complaint is that this bike does not have a resistance indicator but I knew this before my purchase. I am getting used to the resistance knob, which works fine. I have been using half turns (180 deg) to gradually increase resistance but a full 360 deg turn is needed for noticeable increase during a spin session. Several other bikes that I compared this Sunny model to do have a resistance indicator but were at least $300 more. I did purchase a Wahoo cadence sensor that works fine with my iPhone and is the main indicator you need for spin classes anyway.All in all, this has been a good purchase as a moderately priced spin bike. Unless you are a hard core spin addict, I think this bike would be more than acceptable and you’ll save a lot of money over all of the other higher priced brands (Peloton, Keiser, Echelon, etc.).

Hello Everyone, (Original Post made Nov 30th, 2019 on reddit website but want to post it here too as it pertains to this very important purchase. / More updates to the end of the post)My story..After reading so many reviews on various websites and considering all my options on various models of spin bikes, I made the following purchases (comments along my purchases for the reasons why I made that selection):BikeThis great Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Belt Drive Indoor Cycling Bike with 300 lb User Weight Limit, 44 lb Flywheel, Cage Pedals and Tablet Holder - SF-B1805Along reading all the websites, I made an Amazon Wish List, and then used a website called camelcamelcamel that track prices changes on Amazon. The waiting game started!!. This bike went down on Black Friday for 389.99 + tax (24.37) = $414.36. That bike has all that I needed on a spin bike.I was searching for a bike that is from a reputable company, comfortable seat, that have Magnetic Belt (very reliable-low maintenance), that is sturdy (Weight Limit 300lb), that don’t have any electronic that will be outdated soon, that have a heavy flywheel >40 pounds, and if possible to have either table holder or SPD/Cage Pedals. That bike had everything I wanted except the pedals. If you find that bike with any price on the low $400 buy it. Is the best bike for under <500 based on all the reviews and resources that found.PedalsWellgo E229 Shimano SPD Compatible 9/16" Thread Spin Bike PedalsI picked these pedals based on good reviews. They are dual cage and SPD. The bike comes with cage pedals but everyone said that is better to ride with a clip on shoes. For that reason I want to have my options open. If I want to just ride the bike (Zwift, FulGaZ, Rouvy), I’ll use the cage, if I want to do a spin class (Peloton), I’ll use the SPD side. These pedals come with Shimano SPD compatible cleats and is 9/16” thread, perfect for that bike. I got the pedals for 49.90 + tax (3.12) = $53.02Heavy Duty Equipment Mat & Heart MonitorSupermats Heavy Duty Equipment Mat 13GS Made in U.S.A. for Indoor Cycles Recumbent Bikes Upright Exercise Bikes and Steppers (2.5 Feet x 5 Feet) (30-Inch x 60-Inch) (76.2 cm x 152.4 cm)CooSpo Fitness Tracker Ant+ Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap IP67 Waterproof with Bluetooth for Wahoo Strava Zwift DDP Yoga Map My Ride Peloton BikeIt goes without saying that if you use the bike indoor you need to protect either the carpet or the floor. The Heart Rate monitor have great reviews and it was more reliable that the wahoo monitor that I considered. If you have more money to spend go to a higher Scosche Rhythm monitor that is also a good choice.The Mat was on sale and the monitor was down 20%. Mat + Monitor 42.78 + 2.68 tax = $45.46Cadence & Speed SensorsWahoo RPM Cycling Speed and Cadence Sensor, Bluetooth/ANT+It was on sale and I found a video on YouTube of how to place correctly the speed sensor on this spin bike and use it later on Zwift. It cost me 55.99 + 3.50 tax = $59.49ShoesGiro Rumble Vr MTB Shoes Mil Spec Olive/Black 44Solid choice, to be used indoor and outside if needed without a problem. One of the things I liked (beside the price), is that u can walk with the cleats on and be comfortable without a problem walking. They cost me 44.95+Shipping 7.95+tax 2.81 = $55.71To summarize the prices, it cost me (without any peloton, Zwift, Rouvy, or FulGaz subscriptions): $628.04Bike $414.36Pedals $53.02Heavy Duty Equipment Mat & Heart Monitor $45.46Cadence & Speed Sensors $59.49Shoes $55.71Here is the catch!Everything should be in my doorstep, in couple days. After using for couple days, I’ll post an update.Happy Ride to allPs. I am doing this to lose weight and finally to feel good for myself. Appreciate in advance all your support and I am here to answer any questions.***** UPDATE 12/05/2019Most everything arrived today and started the assembly. Here is my first impressions of all the items:The bike: The box of the sunny bike is EXTREMELY HEAVY - Don't attempt to move it alone. I managed to drag it to my garage and slowly bring everything piece by piece to my office inside my house where my bike will be placed. It took me about 2h to get the bike assembled, the instructions are clear (be aware of how to install the pedals - those are tricky). It is a very well made bike, very sturdy. I'll update more upon my first adjustments and after my first ride.The Pedals & Shoes: I decided to return both the pedals and the Shoes. It seems that the cage pedals that came with the bike along with my regular gym shoes will do the job instead of using special SPD clips and new shoes for no reason. If i became more active in the future and realize that my interest for cycling grows and really want to invest on shoes and special pedals, then maybe I'll make the switch. For now, I want to just get started and do it slowly, with a easy clip-on pedals and regular shoes that don't feel too tight.ps. The shoes are remarkable and well made but if you order, do yourself a favor and order a size up. They do run small.Heavy Duty Equipment Mat: Amazing and very durable. My bike already found a good spot on it.Heart Monitor: Have not arrived yetCadence & Speed Sensors: They work like a charm.That bring the total of my setup from $628.04 to $519.31Cant wait for my first ride / will post more soon***** UPDATE 12/14/2019Fantastic Results!!!!The heart rate monitor is picked-up by the app and the colored level indicators tell you if you overworking yourself. I managed to stay under the red zone and it showed on the upper left corner of the pelaton digital screen above my cadence number.Since i send back the pedals and the shoes, I ordered instead a nice Under Armour Men's Charged Rogue Running Shoe for $44.99 and it works great with the pedals.Here is what happen,Couple days ago, on my first ride it was all about getting experience. I did a 10' fulgaz coast ride (my trial ready to expire) and a 20' peloton ride. I adjusted my seat and the handlebar several times until i found myself pedaling with comfort. (watched several youtube videos of how to setup your spin bike). Everything went well but I didn't feel it.Today, I did something different. I found out that the resistance on the bike has a + and a -. Turn it all way out and count +10 for every full circle starting with the + sign on the 12noon.When the instructor said, keep your resistance between 20-25 that means that you turn your resistance 2 1/2 times to get to 25. Every full round is +10. Hope that makes sense.So, the cadence and heart rate is shown on the screen and you'll figure out the resistance on your own as I did following my proposed method if you like.I did a 30' beginner/advance ride and i sweat bullets!!! I burned over 500 calories and felt great. My butt is sore for a little but that can be solved if periodically you try to stand a little on your pedals and ride with lower cadence (it worked for me).I am currently 258 pounds and my goal is to get to 180. All your blessings, prayers and hope are welcome.Happy riding***** FINAL UPDATE 01/18/2020Everything works as a charm.The bike is AMAZING. There was a time that i heard some noise but i tighten up the screws at the base and the noise is gone. So, be sure to tight up all screws well.The heart monitor is a MUST especially with Peloton. It shows you not to over do it.I start my peloton from 2 times a week down to every other day now. It gets easier as you do it. I did couple beginner riders and now went to advanced beginner. Is an amazing workout. I feel much stronger and did help me along with my diet to lose pounds (still far from my goal but I am confident that will get there).My last word is, get a bike, put it in a visible area in your way to remind you that you need to ride it, get a heart monitor and sign up for peloton. It will change your life.God bless you and good luck

Tremendous indoor cycle. Its completely quiet. Crank feels very solid when standing. The magnetic resistance is amazing. Assemble was simple to put the bike together. The handlebar material was cracked when it arrived but will follow up with Sunny to see if they can replace that part. I'm using this with Apple Fitness and its a great pairing for it.
