My husband bought it for himself and had been using it regularly ( almost everyday)as it was similar to the spin bikes he used at 24 hour fitness Gym pre-Covid . I tried it myself and was impressed with the ease and comfort in using it . We are both seniors ages 67-72… it made me go back to exercising regularly again .
Now, we don’t have to go out and walk so much in the heat this summer . We can just get on the bike and be 3-5x more effective than walking . I was going to buy a treadmill for myself … but after using this equipment , I think this will suffice me for now . Love it . The best spinner bike ever, for me at least!
I own an exercise bike $200-250 range for 2 years but hardly used it due to lack of motivation and functionality of the bike. But this Yesoul made me go back to exercising again as I like biking outdoors . My age and the hills where I’m living right now makes it slightly uncomfortable though. This one is a much better alternative ( except for the sceneries and fresh air outdoors).
I strongly recommend this bike . My adult sons who are Gym and bike enthusiasts love it too !

I bought this bike based on the warranty. I have had the bike a month and I love it. Zero regrets. Very smooth and quiet. Didn’t want to pay twice this for a Peloton and then be stuck paying $40 forever. Buy this bike and don’t look back!
Edward H.
Love this bike! Using it with the Peloton App and although it isn't a direct correlation with their numbers, I just listen to my own body and set it where it makes sense for me (which is what you should do for a real Peloton as well). I use my i-watch for heart beat monitor instead of their arm band thingy as I really don't want to mess with that contraption. A bit depressed that I purchased before they lowered the price $100, but that's life. Overall five stars.
Charles O.
I spent a while looking at alternatives to the Peloton bike. My wife and I loved the idea of an in home, on demand spin class, but just could not justify the Peloton price tag. It's super study, heavy, and silent. It makes a for a great workout when paired with the Peloton app.
You can track cadence and heart rate on the app via Bluetooth.
10/10 great bike for the money and would recommend to anyone looking to get into home cardio workouts.
Johnny B.
I weigh 235 lbs, and this bike is very solid feeling, very . silent ...
I was looking for a "beginners" bike and this was perfect.
The pedal rotation is very smooth!
Patricia F.
The bike was assembled in about an hour and each piece has quality to it. its probably the firmest Exercise bike I have been able to ride without breaking the bank. Its heavy which means no rocking even when you stand for 'Hills'
Karen H.
I've had this bike for a couple of months. It hasn't transformed my life, but I love it!
I got this as an affordable alternative (damaged box dropped the price) .
The bike easily moves in front of my TV, and I cast the classes from my phone.
When I'm not in a class, I love just riding on the bike for a warm up or to wind down after a stressful day at work.
I'm glad I made the investment.
Gordon K.
We’re heavy riders (put nearly 50k miles on our last upright before she gave out). This is our first spin bike and it doesn’t disappoint. I just wish the seat was a little more comfortable for longer rides. We would purchase again in a minute!
Donnie N.
I needed a stat bike that allows me to lean forward but not too far. This has adjustable handles and seat and is just about perfect for my height 5'3"
Easy to use, easy to assemble and doesn;t really need as much space as the specs suggest.
William B.
Received the product in great condition. Took about half an hour to assemble. Could use 2 people to assemble it but was just as easy by myself. I'm very impressed with the quality. Also, the bike is virtually silent. The only changes I would like to see are a longer cord to plug it in and a wider slot on the weight holders so I can use my 5lb weights. I'm a total newbie to any kind of exercise but I have committed to using it every day since I purchased it an have been really enjoying the experience and feel healthier already.

Assembly
This comes in a box smaller than the indoor bikes sold at Sam’s Club and Costco. Upon opening the box, the styrofoam was falling apart so keep your vacuum cleaner or broom nearby. This bike is very easy to assemble and they pre-screwed most screws so you know there’s enough and you won’t go wrong. You don’t need to get your toolbox out because it comes with it’s own wrench and allen wrench. The illustrations in the instruction booklet are easy to understand and big enough. It’s easier to assemble than tables or chairs sold at Amazon.
I’ve been to different spin classes in different gyms in different countries throughout the years. This bike appears to be more high quality than the Stages SC3 bike in my old gym. The build is great and it appears very sturdy. I’m very pleased with the feel I get when I pedal. It kinda reminds me of BodyBike but that brand is in another level (and is 4x the price, too). Pedals are SPD which is great.
To motivate me I’m trying out the Peloton app on my living room TV where my bike is.
To be honest my expectations were really low because of the price. But thank goodness, I got a great bike.
Rubin C.
A friend recommended this bike and I finally got one and am very happy with it. The bike is very easy to assemble, it took about 20 minutes to put it together, jus make sure you get the pedals on the correct side. This is pretty easy to see as the shoe clips are mounted so make sure they face forward. The bike does not have a lot of bells and whistles.
Great basic stationary bike!
Jose L.
This bicycle is completely quiet, comfortable to ride, and has lots of great features - plus it was far less expensive than other similar bikes with fancier names.
Jeanne B.
Bike is well made and very quiet due to the magnetic resistance. I like that this works with most fitness apps or without an app required. Unlike peloton where the bike only works with their subscription. My only gripe is the position of the water bottles can sometimes get in the way of my knees during certain exercises so I did move the bracket back and that helped. This is probably the best fitness bike for the price right now.
Maritza J.
I've had it for about 6 months, and I love it. Like many people who bought this, I didn't want to pay the peloton premium. I'm super glad I got this one though - very quiet and smooth ride. Easy to put together.
Tina T.
I ride on paved trails a couple times a week about 15-25 miles at a time. I was looking for an affordable spin bike for and when it rains. The Yesoul G1 has been a good fit
Pros:
-Most importantly this bike is very very smooth and very quiet. The resistance knob is easy to use and the bike maintains its evenness as the resistance goes up and down.
Minor cons:
-The seat is not very comfortable, but everyone’s tastes are different.
Richard P.
I've had my Yesoul for about 8 months and have logged about 40 rides.
The quality of the bike is good. 9/10. It's very quiet when it works.
Bike seat is also an 8/10. I've seen many suggestions to replace the seat, but it works for me and I don't want to spend any more. Bike shorts help.
Pedals are a 8/10. They feel like they'll break soon and have read other reviews saying they can break. But they clip well.
Flywheel is 10/10. Feels strong when I ride at high resistance or low resistance.
Mobility is 10/10. Easy for me to move around the house.
Maurice H.
I love this indoor bike. As an avid road pedaler I know a quality ride, and having also participated in over 100 spin classes I can attest that this is one very solid, quiet bike. The price you can buy it at today is FAR less than the $799 price tag I paid in December 2021. The price dropped 3 months after my purchase to $549 (I believe) and neither the seller would provide any refund of the difference. What a shame. Don't hesitate to buy.
Margaret K.
This is a great quality bike for home use- it was easy to assemble in about half an hour and it can be wheeled around easily. I like to watch tv while I ride and it’s so quiet I can leave the volume low so my kids don’t wake up- helps me get my workout in on the craziest of days.
Robert R.
For the machine itself, I couldn't be happier, exactly what I expected and more. YESOULFITNESS app works great, and now thinking about how to adapt so I can use the ZWIFT app. I found some YouTube videos on how. DEFINITELY recommend this product. It feels very sturdy and well built.
Kathy J.
So I am in love with this bike. My husband has done lots of research and this one was the winner for us. Very strong, noise free, great power I just wish there was a way to be able to adjust the handles. Been using it for couple of months and it's great.
Gary F.
I’m impressed with this bike for the price! I was a regular spinner at a studio but they shut down due to covid. I was used to heavy tension, comfort & a stable bike. I didn’t want to spend the money on a peloton so after researching bikes comparable to what I was used to, this bike beat others by far. 100 resistance levels so there’s enough tension for a great workout. It was easy enough to assemble, just took some time (~30 minutes). It’s stable, quiet and easy to adjust for perfect body alignment. I had it in 5 days of ordering!
Rodolfo K.
Great bike and value for money- no frills but solid product. I had to return another bike (DMASUN) as it was too small for my 6ft 1in frame. Proper fit on a spin bike was a priority for me as I didn’t want to end up with a knee injury. This bike is a perfect for me with the seat fully extended. It’s also easily adjustable and works for my 5ft 10in wife also.
Jennifer J.
This is an awesome spin bike! I was a little nervous since it had not many reviews, but I thought I’d try it out.
Pros: it is very quiet; the magnetic resistance is great! The frame is solid and sturdy, even when climbing hills out of the saddle. The pedals have both clips and cages.
Cons: can’t think of any! I’ve only had it a few weeks; so far so good.
Patricia G.
We love this bike! It is really sturdy and solid and is all we needed in an exercise bike. It doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles some of the others do, which is probably why it doesn’t cost as much. We are thrilled with it and highly recommend it.
Christina M.
The delivery company didn't even try to get it up the 4 stairs to my porch. The bike is great and is very sturdy. The seat is uncomfortable and I will replace that eventually. It took maybe 20 minutes to put it together. I have no complaints
Shirley C.
Customer service at Yesoul is GREAT!!! Buyer don't worry if you have any issues and are looking for a professional and timely interaction. My bike is sturdy, generally quiet and serves the need to do at home on demand workouts when the weather is not fit for riding outside.
Jennifer T.
This bike is a great alternative to gym spin class! The seat is torture so just plan to get another one. But it’s sturdy, quiet, and was pretty easy to set up. I got the peloton app and cycling 3times a week. I researched lots of bikes and would buy this again. I’ve had it for almost 2 months now and I’m so glad I made the purchase!
Shane C.
So far I've been very happy with this bike. Rides smooth and is very sturdy. The only thing I wish it had is handle bars that were four way adjustable. This one only moves up and down. Would like it better and would get 5 stars if they moved back and forth as well. Overall this has been a great bike.
Brenda O.
Easy to use. Easy to set up. Does exactly what you’d want a spin bike to do! The seat took way more adjusting than it should but we love it. Works great with my spin shoes and doesn’t take up to much space.
Demetrius D.
Bike has all these adjustable parts for the seat and the up & down for the handle bar .I wish the handle bar could adjust forward and backward as well. I'm 5'11 and for my knees I need the seat back all the way but then it makes it hard to reach the handle bar comfortably.
James M.
It is a heavy bike so I had to have someone help me move it and set it up- i couldn't get it off the ground. It went together fairly easily though i did watch videos of someone assembling one on youtube and it helped me to do it correctly.
I been using it daily and it makes me into a sweaty mess. I've gained muscle in my legs. It was magnetic based rather than friction-oh- i wanted a bigger seat but i couldn't get it onto the bike which was most likely me and not the bikes issue.
John L.
I’ve been looking for an exercise bike for quite a while now and was super excited when it came. The assembly doesn’t take long and its easy to follow. After sitting all day I’ve decided to invest in one of these bikes to improve my cardio. The quality of the bike is pretty good for the price.. The material/frame is steel so its durable. The look of the bike is quite appealing as shown on the pics when you first purchase. I like the adjustable resistance which makes it easy to adjust resistance and increase the intensity of the workouts. It also runs really smooth. Other than that, it does the job.
Byron C.
This is one of the newest bike that offers Bluetooth connectivity and app integration. I use the Yesoul app with this bike and it works flawlessly. To monitor heart rate, you will need to purchase an Bluetooth/Ant+ heart rate band or Yesoul's heart rate armband. The resistance of s more than anyone would need or able to use.
Rachel A.
Since I have been using this bike for several days now, I am enjoying it quite a bit, especially when I connect it to virtual riding apps such as Zwift.
In my opinion, the most appealing aspect of this bicycle is its silence. When compared with other bikes, it does not make any annoying noise, even when I am riding at high speeds. The bike was almost assembled out of the box when arrived, so it only took me about 15 minutes to complete the assembly. As far as the bike's build and durability are concerned, I am very impressed.
I have only encountered an issue with the seat, which is quite comfortable for short trips, but not comfortable enough for longer ones. However, I have quickly resolved this issue by adding a comfortable bike seat cover. Other than that, I am very pleased with the purchase and it exceeded my expectations.
Rachel C.
I am very satisfied with the purchase of this exercise bike. This is super smooth and comfortable. I did a fair bit of research before buying, but I was still surprised at how many types there are. I’m thankful everyday that I finally made the decision to purchase this one! In my opinion, the Bike is a must for any at home gym or anyone looking to get a fantastic workout.
I highly recommend.
Patricia S.
This is a great bike. Great quality, easy assembly, used it with my own iPad. It connects to your tablet via Bluetooth, or use my bike's own screen to attend Yesoul's fitness classes. You don’t need to pay anything for the subscription if you don’t like to and easily measure and save your progress. I was watching videos or listening to the music in the background.
I’ve been using this for 6-8 days now and it is an amazing bike. I read lots of reviews on different bikes to find this bike and got it on a good deal.
Seat and handle is easy to adjust for other family members. All in all great exercise bike.
Shirley M.
It was super easy and quick to put together by following the simple instructions was set up in 15 min. It was easy to put together. The other great thing is the screem, perfect for making it so easy to take classes. Just got it today and love it! I was surprised as to how quiet the bike is. My first impression, the seat is super comfortable. It’s sturdy and heavy. I’m really like it for indoor workouts.
Clyde W.
Love this bike and it’s great price point. It’s amazingly quiet and fairly easy to adjust once you figure things out. I did have to add a seat cushion cover. The seat it comes with is hard and a little uncomfy. The only thing I wish this bike had was auto resistance but at this price point it’s just fine.
Kay F.
This bike is...
1. Quiet
2. Beautiful
3. Durable
The only complaint I have is came with a small tear /hole in one of the handlebars.But I can easily cover with handlebar covers, and for that reason I won't return it. My final thought is that the price I got the bike for and the quality of the bike highly out. Hope this helps!
Sandra S.
I just received it yesterday. Set up was super simple. It maybe took me all of 15 mins. Honestly, all you need to do is follow along with the installation video on Youtube. I didn’t even open the manual. It’s a well made, sturdy bike and the ride seems super comfortable. Although I was only on for 5-10 minutes my first go just to test it out. But so far so good.
Todd C.
I bought this bike because it has Bluetooth capabilities. This bike is not very heavy, but the material is so strong. I’m a solid 6’ 240 lbs and it is very stable for me. The description says it holds up to 260 lbs. If you’re a Clydesdale like me, it suits you well.
Joshua G.
This bike is so near perfect and dream. Silent ride, resistance works, set up by myself. I purchase a phone holder so I could use the app to see my cadence and resistance while simultaneously using the Peloton app.
Samuel W.
I am honestly blown away by how good this bike is. There are just so many choices on the market that I was basically paralyzed - especially in that I could not try the bike out in advance because of the pandemic. But I got my bike today and took a 60 minute spin class. For the record, I have at least 10 years of spinning experience under my belt. The G1 is heavy and sturdy and feels as good as any bike I have ever used at SportsClub or Equinox. While it does not have as many bells and whistles as some of those commercial grade bikes from an electronic feedback standpoint (such as Wattage Output), it feels just as good in the saddle. I am just happy and perfectly glad that I made this choice.
Josh T.
I love that this bike came with SPD pedals and a decent seat. The belt drive is smooth and the flywheel spins nicely. The bike was extremely easy to put together and came with all required tools and good instructions. The biking screen is a nice bonus. My wife does spin class on more expensive bikes, but was pleased with how smooth this one rides.
Jordan B.
Wife can't attend spin classes now due to C19 so I bought this for her birthday. The primary features we were looking for were magnetic resistance (rather than friction) to keep operation quiet and smooth and which is typical for pro equipment at gyms. Yesoul looked like the best fit for our budget. Setting up the bike is reasonably straightforward but it is very heavy so really need two people for attaching feet. The threads on the pedals are hard to get started (more on these later) but with some patience got both on without cross threading. Initial impression riding the bike is that it performs close to pro models used at the gym. Overall the price/performance balance on this bike is quite good.
Thomas M.
Hi so I was checking for a budget friendly bike that I could use over the winter. And found the yesoul the bike is easy to assemble for me but I always like putting things together like Lego sets so it was like 123. The bike is basically very quiet but when you hit max resistance before the brake pad it will start to make noise also since I'm mentioned the resistance the bike is comparable to the echelon sport bike that is very popular and cost 200 dollars less since I got it on sale I do wish that it had a higher max resistance though like a 44 to 55 pound fly wheel since I think I will out grow the bike very quickly it has a fly wheel I think around 31 pounds which will mean I will probably be looking for something with a higher resistance like the sunny sfb 1805 or the sunny sfb 1913 which have a resistance very close to the pelothon bike. In terms of the sturdiness the bike is built like a tank I know the max weight on this page said 250 but I've had family members around 350 use the bike warning for any one above 6,3 inches tall this bike might a little bit small for you if your 6,4 to 6,5 the seat will start to wiggle. Over all I like the bike but had to give it 4 stars due to the resistance being weaker then I would like if yesoul makes a bike that has a higher resistance I'm sure I will drop a YouTube review on my page
Buddy R.
I initially bought one of the Sunny Health spin bikes (through Walmart.com) and it was a piece of crap and Sunny Health's service was equally crap -- the bike arrived defective and the company had me partially dismantle my bike (after buying additional tools) to attempt to fix it. I ended up returning the bike. However, the yesoul has been great so far. I have been using it with the Peloton app. Nice to be able to clip in with my SPD shoes, looks and acts well made. It rides fairly smoothly; only caveat is that the handlebars do wobble slightly when I am standing on the bike and moving fast. It has been so great to not pay money for spin classes and was great to save major money by not buying the Peloton bike!
Tara N.
Overall, this bike is a really good value and does the trick! A thing that bugged me, were: A bit of deformation when it comes to the water bottle holder. It goes on slightly crooked even after many attempts. Other than that, the bike is of a high quality and I ve been getting great workouts daily
Joseph J.
The seat can't be fixed, service send me another assembly of saddle .
I fix it in position successfully. It got off to a rocky start, but it's working fine now.
Dennis M.
The handlebars hurt. The service sent me a new one.
Overall it was good, but the seat kept rubbing against my thighs.
Fred M.
I've had this bike for a week and really like it. I can't afford the Peloton bike and wanted a nice alternative. The bike shipped faster than anticipated and was an easy set up. It fits in with my style really nicely. It also saves on space which is great if you live in a tight space. For reference, I am a 6' male and was worried the seat might be a little too short (and I'm not even that tall). It works great for me and is very comfortable. The free app is great and the heart rate monitor is easy to connect. I find this bike is worth the money. The only complaints I have is that the base of the bike can wobble depending on how much you move side to side. In my opinion, the benefits outweigh the cons.
Linda W.
I’ve been incredibly happy with this purchase. The bike is completely silent and feels really solid. I’ve been using the scenic routes for the last couple weeks and plan to try using the workouts soon.
Deborah T.
Can’t find one complaint about this bike! Quality is amazing and tracks your cadence and resistant, which is such a plus for this price point! 10/10 recommend
Ronald R.
Hi,nice ,easy to assemble ,now I can keep my health good after work.
At the beginning, there was a problem with bluetooth. I contacted service to help me solve it.
I ride 30 minutes a day and have had no other problems so far.
Gregory D.
I do like this bike it seems great I have had it a few months and the pedal broke. Fortunately, Yesoul's service sent me a new pair. It is quiet and has great resistance.
Guillermo B.
So I rarely write reviews and if I do is because I honestly think this product is amazing. Not only was it easy to assemble but it comes with a Bluetooth & App you can use to do training or classes with just like the peloton offers. I've had it for a few days and I'm very excited and happy about it. I've recommended to many of my co-workers and a handful of them have bought it as well and are very pleased. And the app that is offered as a choice gives you great classes for free.
Theodore G.
I got this bike because I was starting a 75 day challenge and wanted to be able to do a second workout on it. So far I’m 31 days in and 28 of them have had at least one workout done on the bike. I do challenging out of the saddle workouts with ranging resistance from 20-80. The app that comes with the bike is similar to the peloton app (which is what I’m using via streaming on my tv in my workout area) as far as using cadence and resistance. I go to the free riding option and then follow along with peloton with the YESOUL app open on my phone screen. My ONLY complaints are the seat hurts my butt I bought a gel bike seat and that helps, my legs rub on the hard plastic part under the seat and if I wear shorts I get a terrible chafing spot which isn’t a big deal if I wear leggings, and finally my last “complaint” is it squeaks a little here and there. I’ve noticed the squeak seems to be improving the smoother my form gets with each ride. Overall this bike is 10000% worth the price. It’s perfect for what I need, it has blue tooth compatibility and my Apple Watch can connect to it for the heart rate monitor.
Thuy N.
So far it has been very nice, time will tell. It has only been a few months.
Margaret R.
I wanted a simple bike for quick workouts when I can’t go to the gym hence purchased this bike.
So far, so good. I like this purchase.
Michael A.
For Zwift - make sure the app needs per mission to use location on your phone/tablet, but not only that - you must pick "only when the app is running" and not "always".
This helped me connect to Zwift.
Rob M.
I read of ton of reviews on different bikes, I was upgrading from a Wahoo Kickr which was nice but it's just different from a solid-state type bike. I was thinking about just hashing out the money for a Peloton but I already had a subscription through my sister-in-law (you get 3 logins per bike you purchase) and didn't want to pay 40$ a month for the rest of my life with the bike when I already had a login for free.
I took a chance on this guy and am so happy I did. Was super easy to assemble. Great quality and super sturdy when riding it. This bike is Bluetooth enabled so you are able to use the Yesoul app (Peloton-like classes) but I like the Peloton classes better because I do them with my sisters who have Peloton bikes. To get the cadence and resistance I downloaded a third-party app called qdomyoszwift that connects to the bike via Bluetooth and tells you your exact resistance for Peloton specific. You can also use this app to use Zwift as well. I can clip in with my riding shoes. I'm able to use this for Peloton classes NO PROBLEM. Plus - I save $40 bucks a month.
If you are on the fence about this bike just buy it. If you have any friends who own a Peloton, ask them to share a login with you if they're not using it (they get 3 per bike).
Stacy D.
If you are on the fence about this bike, get off! Great for the price! I have had no issues with the bike.
Jessica C.
The rear bar is crooked and makes the bike a little wobble when I ride it. Maybe I'm too heavy
Rose A.
This bike really feels like tbe best kept secret of the indoor cycling world. After searching for days this was the cheapest Bluetooth enabled bike with an interactive platform. I really didn't want to pay big name dollars for a bike then more each month for a subscription.
The bike is great. It is very quiet and was easy to assemble.
The variety of free classes is such a nice bonus. The available stats after a ride are impressive. It even includes a heart rate monitor.
If you want a budget option to do home spinning classes then look no further.
Clifford D.
This bike is awesome! Not to mention for the price makes it even better. I can say I am happy with the purchase. My use of the bike is used soley for the winter and bad weather as I do ride a regular bike from Spring to Fall. I gave 5 STARS EVEN THOUGH I had issues with the heart rate monitor. This did not deter my rating considering I use my Garmin watch to monitor my heart rate. Would be nice if Garmin could connect to the bike as well. I have tried all the apps from Zwift to Bkool and they all connect to the bike easily. I would recommend this bike to someone not wanting to spend the money on the other bikes. I cannot compare the other bikes because I have not tried them. Though I am pleased with this bike
Anthony R.
I’m a cyclist and not particularly a fan of indoor riding. But here in the Northeast US, it’s pretty much a necessity. Putting my road bike on the trainer is one option but it can be hard on the bike so I decided to get an inexpensive indoor bike. This one was my choice and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a beautiful bike. Incredibly quiet and smooth. It hooked up perfectly with Zwift and even came with a heart rate monitor which is basic and nice. This bike is worth every penny.
Randy H.
Great bike, no any problems so far.
Allen H.
After researching many bikes in this price range, I decided to purchase the YESOUL. The bike arrived quicker than anticipated and all parts were packed nicely and in perfect condition. I was able to assemble the bike myself in about half an hour and the assembly was mostly a breeze. Had a small issue with getting the raised tab to fit down into the hole on the handle bars but got it to fit eventually. The bike itself is impressively stable. I was worried there would be some wobbling but that has not been an issue even when standing. Having taken spin classes regularly, I honestly cannot tell a noticeable difference with the quality of this bike and those at the gym. I am 5’10” and had no problem adjusting the bike to fit me properly.
Adrian C.
Bought this bike because my existing bike was way too loud (it was a road bike on a trainer stand). This bike delivers - very quiet, fairly well built, does its job. I used my own Shimano SPD pedals with it; the magnetic resistance gives plenty of resistance and adjustability.
The one thing to caution is that the bike may be too small if you are tall or have long legs. I am 5' 8" with long legs, and I have the seat at "Max"; anyone taller may find the bike too small.
Kimberly H.
The bike was delivered when expected. It was easy to assemble following the instructions on a YouTube video. It is very quiet and pedals smoothly.
Dorthy R.
Have the bike for about 3 weeks now. Worked very well but in the last week I have been having trouble connecting my Ipad via Bluetooth to the the bike. Usually, you just start pedaling and it would connect. Now it does not do that. Normally an LED would light up on the sensor when pedaling. Now in order to get my LED to light up, I have to remove the cover to the sensor, remove the battery and put it back in and it works normally again.
Kurt B.
I have been riding top end bikes most of my life (several decades). All exercise and spin bikes that I have tried in hotels, gyms, and sporting goods stores have left me quite disappointed and ALL left me longing to experience the right diameter spin. They also had limited adjustments to get a proper position.
THIS bike is different! The crank arms are the same length as my $$$ road bike and it honestly far exceeds my expectations, especially for the price point. Reviews raved about it feeling like a high end spin bike and I truly can see why. It is smooth, quiet, adjustable to tailor the fit, and feels RIGHT.
The bike itself is sturdy, stable, nicely finished, has good quality welds, and many solid adjustments to get the 'sizing' correct. The bluetooth connects easily with my iPad and THAT is one of the things I wanted- a bring your own bluetooth tablet machine that pairs easily yet provides coached sessions and other motivational features. I know that my tablet will be reliable and it keeps the price point affordable.
The app was easy to install and not only provides a huge range of interactive exercise sessions, it also shows the cadence AND the power rating! I am really satisfied with the data that displays right on my tablet screen (that fits securely in the tablet mount provided).
I put my own pedals on the bike to pair with my cycling shoes. The ones that ship with the bike are fine enough, but if you ride in cleats, they are not for you. I have ridden a fluid trainer for years wth my road bike. Resistance has always been jumpy with gaps in between. The magnetic resistance of this spin bike is easy to adjust, located in a logical place, and is monitored on the screen. Adjustments are very fine tuned and I really appreciate dialing in just where I want to be with power output and cadence. An easy "crank up the resistance" allows you to climb hills standing up just like you would on the road- secure, stable, and feeling correct.
The foot print is about half the size of my road bike on a fluid trainer making it easier to use in a variety of spaces. This is not only well built, but has an attractive modern design too. The app is free so there are no monthly fees. This bike can connect with data to other online cycling apps if you want, but after several sessions using the app, I am happy so far. No monthly fee is a sweet deal on top of a very affordable great quality indoor ride.

I am absolutely loving my new bike! There are so changes I would love to make to the app! And maybe even be able to pair Bluetooth head phones too! But they are all obstacles I can work around. I'm satisfied with my purchase!

The bike was super easy to build. Done in 10 minutes. It is incredibly quiet which was a main selling point.
The movement is smooth but the adjustability of the bike is severely lacking. The seat slides back a bit but not forward past the post, which makes it tough for some people (I'm 5"8 ) to find a comfortable and normal saddle position as the handlebars only move up and forward at the same time. If you move the handlebars up, they slide forward at the same time: if you move the seat up, it does not slide forward. Having a more adjustable saddle would make the bike comfortable for longer sessions.
Cant speak too much of longevity yet but I wanted to touch on one area that I feel seriously needs improvement that a lot of the paid reviews didnt mention at all (for a reason I guess.)
Thankfully I simply wanted something quiet that would allow me to be active while at home, I so far just wish a) the parts were all new/cleaned properly before shipping and b) the bike was more adjustable rather than simply extending in one direction (outwards and up)

It came quickly via mail. Opened the box and everything was well packed. Easy to assemble and get up in running (10 minutes tops). The wifi and blu tooth hooked right up to the app that I downloaded after pointing my phone at the qr code stuck to the holder/handlebar. Resistance can be easy to very hard, so anyone can get a workout. Multiple adjustments to the seat post. Seat, and handlebars makes it easy to get in a comfortable position. I also really like the free online app and the workouts it provides. Great bike

The bike was delivered on time and assembly was easy and took about 20 minutes after unpacking everything. Everything was in excellent condition fit together perfectly. Tried the app with a lenova android tablet and also on a apple ipad. Both devices connected and worked perfectly. You get excellent workouts from skilled trainers without having to pay extra for them. You also get some great scenic rides to enjoy at your own pace. I highly recommend this bike and it is very sturdy and should last many years. Buy it with confidence, it's worth way more than the price.

As a lifelong biker and a competitive bike ride/racer for many years, I wanted something that would be a bit easier, smoother, and quieter to ride. Did lots of research and when this came on sale I pulled the trigger. It only took (3) tries for website to get it to me but it arrived in excellent condition. Took about 20 minutes to assemble and I was off to spinning. Have had it for 2 months and have had NO issues. Everything works as intended. Very Happy

It took awhile for me to get it out of the box myself (I'm 105 lbs) and took me awhile to figure out to slide the box up. If you go on youtube there's a vide from the company on how to assemble and unbox it. I am very bad at assembling things so honestly I would have to say it took me 2.5 hrs just to get the box off, unpack it and assemble it but a person who is used to assembling, it's probably possible to do it in 30 min...
A few things not in the manual.. so if the bike isn't sturdy while riding, you can level it by turning the four screws or buttons at the bottom of the legs... tighter is not better! I had to email the company to figure out how to level it and they said to screw it till all 4 are level (not necessarily all tight)... so it's trial and error... I had to put the bike on its side to do that...
Now I had a lot of problems with the bluetooth. it wouldn't connect for the longest time.. so i figured out where the battery compartment was (its right above the front wheel, I posted a pic of it) and took it out and put it back in again... that seemed to help... then it wouldn't work again so i bought brand new batteries from amazon... now it always works. It takes CR2477... so if you have trouble, try taking out the battery and putting it in again or buying new batteries.
When I first got the bike the pedal made some sort of clicking noise... but i fixed it by taking out the pedal and putting it back again, so I probably didn't install it right.
Support is very good and fast (just email them via the Yesoul website) to answer but they won't baby you...
The sound I DO hear is that of my thighs and pants rubbing against the sides of the seat... for the first few weeks I actually thought it was the BIKE but it turns out it's my thighs... So to test it just spread your thighs a bit further to test if the sound is coming from your thighs or the bike.
I use it with the Qdomyos app and take peloton classes... it's great for me as I'm afraid to go outside because of the pandemic... so i chose to willingly quarantine and stay indoors because even though there is no quarantine, I still think its risky to go outdoors so this is the only way for me to get cardo... I live on the second floor and a treadmill would make too much noise.
Great bike if you are short... I am 4'11" and it fits me perfect (I dont have the seat at its lowest still as I felt that was too low even for me).

The bike looks great and was easy to assemble. The handlebars move slightly no matter how much you tighten them. The blue tooth circuit board wasn't connecting. The magnetic resistance is nice and the company did supply the circuit board needed to connect to WiFi. Update. The circuit board was easy to install and the Bluetooth connects perfectly. The app froze but I'm happy the other apps work well with it.
Bruce S.
Useless app and bike. Now keeps saying system abnormality. Cannot use the app for a ride and makes the bike useless since you can't see the resistance and cadence. But I can connect to Zwift or Kinomap to solve the problem.
Marilyn F.
I got this bike and it is very sturdy and easy to put together. The bluetooth would not stay on long enough to connect with my phone so I emailed support@yesoulfitness.com about this issue , and they sent me a new bluetooth circuit board to put on the bike. The replacement worked well, and everything works great. I'm thankful to have found a bike like this that's cheaper than the peleton and zwift options. I'm hoping this will work with zwift at some point, but I'm not nearly good enough yet to try to compete. So far, I'm enjoying the app tracking my heartrate and calories, it's really fun.
Dana M.
Bluetooth is shot. This bike’s misgivings (light weight, wobbly, slightly curved) are easily forgiven when the Bluetooth works. But without the signature feature, it’s just a cheap bike.
Customer service (not operating in a US time zone) sent a replacement Bluetooth board which solved it.

I've been riding a road bike and using the related mobile apps. This is the first indoor bike machine I ever purchased. This isn't for my road-biking training but more for indoor work-out. I wanted to find a decent one with price range $500 - $1K. There were a tons of indoor bike machines with various price and features like attached monitor or monthly subscription.
I've also learned that some 3rd party mobile apps support to provide work-out data for blue tooth enable bikes like Peleton, Echelon or Yesoul. Eventually, I got narrow down to Yesoul after considering price and Youtub reviews from other countries (it looks like it's sold world wide).
Finally, I received Yesoul last Friday through the second order. My first order was cancelled due to UPS delivery problem. Assembling bike is easy. I had some difficulty to put the right-side pedal. the regualar size allen ranch didn't reach to the hole.
As I learn from other reviewers comment, I changed iPhone display to the light mode and registered the app with my personal email and password. In order to connect the machine to the mobile app, I needed to spin the wheel and wake up Bluetooth of the bike. As I clicked any work-out menu, there is a bike icon on the top right of screen. click the icon and select my bike.
I used Samsung Galaxy Tab for the free session in the Yesoul mobile app and mirroring the Galaxy to Samsung Frame TV. Working great so far. I will come back after a month. Let's see

I like this bike! My favorite thing is how quiet it is! I don't disturb my kids at night when they're sleeping or my neighbors. Very easy to put together. All parts were included. Nice and modern looking exercise equipment.
I'm short (5' 2") but the bike is adjustable and comfortable. I'm overweight so my bum is bigger right now and the seat that comes with the bike is not comfortable at all. I didn't rate lower though b/c that is easy to fix and everyone is different. I'm not as well versed as a cycle enthusiast, but you can definitely feel the difference in the resistance. I've experienced no wobbling, just a nice, stable, smooth "ride". The app for the bike is nice and easy to get into and follow with.
Erika T.
Get it. It’s a fantastic peloton alternative.
It is very easy to install, no noise!
Alexander M.
The bike is GREAT! Solid, attractive, easy to put together, with a free app with training on it! It has BT which helps you monitor youre progress, etc. CS responded to a question I had, twice already!! Its a great bike, and I can't believe how much I got for the price! Gotta say I'm happy I chose this bike
Raymond G.
An excellent value especially for a Peloton hack bike. My only wish would be for a slightly heavier flywheel. The flywheel is only about 15 lbs. I did need to upgrade the pedals for my cleated bike shoes. The Yesoul software app is very Peloton-like, works great and is free for now. I only use the Yesoul app for timed free riding but it also offers classes. My only issue with their classes is that they don't call out specific resistances probably because Yesoul makes more than one bike. The bike also pairs with the Peloton app without issue. Also, I am unaware about what they offer for customer support but I've haven't needed any support as yet.
Paula W.
I don t normally write reviews on things. Would give it a 5 star rating if it didn t come flawed. Paid extra money for the shipping since it s hard to find equipment or get things to ship. It came with the handle already ripped and the neck of it being damaged. The neck was hard to assemble and move since it was damaged. Other than that we are pleased with the purchase. Will update in a couple months.
Ruth W.
To say that I am not the most athletic person in the world would be an understatement; however, I'm working on trying to get into shape. The Peloton ads always look so great to me. I KNOW indoor biking is HARD, but I suspect if I could be a tragic beginner in the privacy of my own home, I might well enjoy it. The only thing is, I cannot even begin to recall all of the exercise gear that I used for a month and then discarded. I really did not want to spend $2K on a bike that ended up dusty with clothing draped on it.
In comes YESOUL. Since I am a beginner, I really don't have a lot to compare this to, so this review is geared towards other absolute beginners. First of all, my whole house is white, so this bike is visually less offensive than most others I have seen. The bike was super easy to put together. I think it took my boyfriend about 10-15 minutes to get it put together. The next thing that I love is that it is whisper quiet. It makes no noise while I'm riding. I'm also pleased because it has pedals that do not require special shoes; I'm just not ready for a full wardrobe commitment just yet. I also like that it has Bluetooth and comes with it's own app that has pretty decent classes and instructions.
My favorite part s that I can use the Peleton app on my rides. All I needed is the Peloton app (obviously), but then I can track my cadence, resistance, mileage, etc, but buying another app called qdomyszwift (a one time $3.99 charge).
I put my tablet up as a screen and play the Peloton ride. To use Qdomyszwift you will need your phone or a second device. The minute you start pedaling ant Qdomyswift clicks on and begins tracking your ride. So for well under $800 I have the Peleton-like experience at home that I was looking for. I figured that even if I didn't stick with it, I could probably sell the bike and not be out too much money. It turns out that I'm really liking the workout and doubt that I'll ever get rid of it. I also can't see myself feeling the need to upgrade to a Peoloton.
Jonathan C.
This is my first bike and I must say overall I am happy with the investment. Take care as to assemble carefully. I did not run into any issues or noise or anything like that.
The only issue would be the app and request to create a profile numerous times.
One more thing. In the app you will see classes. For the freestyle ride with view of cities I did not notice the tension matching or identical as with the classes.
Say level 4 tension was someone hard yet on freestyle riding I could breeze up on 14.
In any case, 4 out of 5.
P.S. The arm band that keeps your pulse nearly matches my Apple Watch but that doesn’t mean the calorie burn is nearly the same. It’s a little off.
I say trust your Apple Watch. The bike app is off by 30 calories or so.

One of the big sellers for this bike was the bluetooth capability to connect to the applications without having to buy expensive pedals or components that need to be strapped to wheel and crank. Also it's great that the resistance levels are similar to Peloton (1-100) so when they tell you to set Resistance in Peloton classes, it works with this bike. The app that comes with it is nice for measuring resistance, cadence and distance traveled, but the drawback is it only displays in metric units (does not yet convert to English). But other than that, the bike is quiet and performance is smooth. Standing up the bike has a very slight wobble - I suspect longer front and back bases may have helped with that but it's still possible to pedal standing, I seem to slow down cadence due to the slight wobble though. What I think is important is the company's support. I ran into an issue where Bluetooth dropped in middle of workout after removing the battery and reseating it, it began to work again. I asked the company and they were quite responsive, providing great support, even sending a new control board after digging into the issue further. That's huge - this company cares about supporting their product which goes a long way.

I am so pleased with this purchase!
This bike arrived on time and well packaged. The assembly instructions were very detailed and easy to follow - the assembly itself was quick. I had no issues with Bluetooth or connecting to the app.
The bike is very solid and feels like it’s made very well! Mine does seem to have a very slight tilt from the seam (near the resistance knob) to the handlebars, but this small issue does not hinder the bike’s ride.
The bike rides really smooth and super quiet. I am in a second story condo and do not have any worries about disturbing my neighbors. I love having the ability to know my cadence and resistance levels. I use a third party app to connect the Bluetooth features through my phone to the Peloton app. It works perfectly and I am very pleased.
If you, like me, are looking for a budget friendly bike that has good bones and Bluetooth features, I highly recommend the Yesoul!
Robert K.
I have set this up as a peloton hack. I use the free ride of the Yesoul app to know my cadence(rpm) and speed. I use a polar chest strap that I have had for awhile which will connect to the peloton app. It is a little bit of work but it definitely beats $1500 and $39.99/mo
Leo M.
The bike looks great, is well built, and was easy to put together. But to my dismay when I got on it to use it, The seat is so uncomfortable plus.

I ve put on 20 pounds this past year since working from home and Getting to the gym has been nearly with the kids home this summer. I Decided to invest in a good exercise bike. with so many of these on the market I decided on this one. It Provided the most value for features. The app pairs seamlessly with my iPhone and really makes a difference with motivation. this bike Compares to a gym quality biking experience. maybe even better! Since it remains in my living room I love it s compact design. However is does move nearly effortlessly if I need it out of the way. It glides beautifully! Love the solid high quality foot straps for safety. The seat is adjustable both forward, backward and up and down. Installation was pretty intense. it took my husband about 30 minutes and luckily the instructions were very clear and easy to read. High quality durable construction. Overall Extremely happy with this purchase. It comes highly recommended, A friend of mine is also considering purchasing the same unit after trying mine. Definitely worth the price
Roy S.
This exercise bike has exceeded my expectations! This exercise bike is really easy to install, If I had to do it again, I'm sure I will assemble it and less than 10 minutes. I like the simple design of this bike , the whole body was shiny black. The stationary bike was small but sturdy. Unbelievably, it was so quiet that the bike didn't make any noise when I was riding, which made me concentrate more on the exercise, and it won't disturb my sleeping daughter in the morning. The drivetrain is super smooth! The seat is very robust and very cushiony allowing me to ride on it for one hour at a time comfortably. There is the plastic tray slot is a very practical design, I usually put a towel and a water bottle, when I need to drink water or wipe sweat to get them easily, don't have to leave bike or stop workout. The app here can conncet to the bike, which real-time feedback sports data, many courses to choose from, view and music are my favorite function. If you're reading my review and are considering stationary, then go with this one. I definitely recommend it
Robert C.
Look no further, easy setup no archaic display sync via Bluetooth with your device and works with their app (Meghan in beginner workout was great), zwift and Kinomaps…..Tahiti here i come!!!!!
David S.
I bought the spin bike for the style lines that I saw. I received the bike and put it together, didn't take long to put together, less than 30 mins. the only thing that I didn't like were the pedals, they were a flat plastic ones. I replaced with some black metal ones. Paired the Bluetooth with my tablet and that didn't take long to do and was up and running. I completely enjoy riding this spin bike, it has a steady feel to it, the seat is comfortable and the controls for a fast spin to a mountain climb are very good. The bike is very quiet to ride, overall it is a very good buy.
Sergio J. H.
I got into spinning when covid started and have used a pretty cheap bike for the last 1.5 years. I didn't want to invest in a $2000 peloton-type bike, but I really wanted a high quality upgrade. After searching for MONTHS and comparing options, I found this which seemed too good to be true. Beautiful design, low price, bluetooth enabled, tablet holder, magnetic resistance. I was sure it couldn't be as good as it looked because there were no reviews anywhere on the net I could find, and all the videos were promotional videos in Chinese made by the manufacturer.
Well, I bought it anyway, and...it actually is all those things. The build quality is SO solid, incredibly quick and easy to assemble, the materials look extremely high end, the ride is unbelievably smooth and silent, and even though I'm using the peloton app for rides, the bluetooth integration with their app is easy to switch to in order to see cadence/resistance/power, etc. This bike looks so much nicer than other $500-1000 cycling bikes on the market.
Honestly the only negative I could come up with is that the tablet holder is very thin. My ipad pro (which is very thin) won't fit with a very thin case on it, I have to take the case off. Not a big deal.
I will update if anything goes wrong, but I'm very pleasantly surprised.
