Best quarantine purchase - no regrets! It’s quiet and easy to move around if you need to. I love the tablet holder for my iPad and I stream Peloton classes onto it. Also love the option to clip in or just use the cages on the pedals. (I clip in. My husband doesn’t have spin shoes).
Mary R.
The bike only needed around half an hour to install since it was already assembled the main parts. I only needed to put it on the base and install the pedals and hand bar. I like its compact size and it can be put at a small corner. And the bike itself is pretty strudy except the handle bar. I think the bar is not tight enough and it can move a little left and right. And the tablet holding rack is great and I can put an iPad on it playing youtube during exercise. But I hope it can add an additional phone holder since the bike app cannot be opened in the iPad at the same time.

Bike is built very solidly, the only gripe I have is the seat is a little bouncy. The handlebars offer varied enough grips to sustain a long workout.
Magnetron resistance is quiet and adjustable. I pedal at high rpm and the bike feels extremely stable and the whole operation is quiet. The pedals have cages and grips on them. They help me feel totally in control when I sprint during my workouts.
Packaging was easy to unpack and setup is quick and easy. I use an exercise pad underneath and haven't had to adjust the levellers at all. Highly recommended for novice to intermediate riders.
Emil H.
No noise, easy to assemble, does not shake at high speeds. So worth the price I paid! Great bike for the price! At the moment everything is going well.
Clayton H.
Great engineering with solid metal. The bike was purchased during the promotional period of the event and have ridden it at least twice a week, sometimes more. I couple my ride with lots of workout classes from the Yesoul Sports app. Would recommend to anyone!
Kory G.
I had a peloton in the past, I sold it because I started gong to the gym. I go this bike recently and dear I say it’s more comfortable than the peloton…no fancy screen but I have an iPad and peloton mobile so I’m happy.
Bruce L.
This bike was easy to assemble, is easy to move around and is very quiet -- big improvement over our big, heavy, loud old bike. It's getting lots of use already and is being used with Zwift and Kinomap apps. Glad we got it!
David C.
This is so much what I was expecting at the cost. Its actually top notch. Just a little off with the white tension strip that puts pressure on the weighted fly wheel. It rubs off leaving white residue on the wheel surface. Probably due to heat, but that doesn't affect anything.

I love the Peloton Bike, but like many I cannot afford or have the credit score available to be able to finance a bike that expensive during the pandemic. So I decided to do some research and look for an alternative that would work with the on demand platform.
I chose this Yesoul bike and could not be happier. It is sleek, quiet, was very easy to assemble and works prefectly for someone my size, petite 160lbs. I do not have to share it with others in the time of Covid and I am able to use it daily with my on demand Peloton App that I got for $12.99 per month.
With the Yesoul Sports app, I am able to see my cadence during my exercise session, right in my class.
It also has a rack for your phone or Ipad which I use to stream the #Peloton App
Great stationaty bike for the price. Best decision ever.
Mark B.
Well engineered, Quiet. A few years ago, I purchased a popular brand for $100 less. Uncomfortable, not smooth, braking system and pads had issues. In my opinion, this bike is worth every penny of that $100.
John A.
Way better than the terrible NordicTrack treadmill I just wrote a review for, haha. Seriously, this is a great piece of exercise equipment for the price. The combination of heavier flywheel and magnetron resistance are more than enough for a stable ride, the price is decent, and it's compact.
Stephen M.
Bike was easy to assemblle with in 40 min using tools that it came with.
Parts are sturdy.
Seat is very comfortable.
Adjusting is easy.
Flywheel is quiet.
Loretta R.
Bike is very heavy duty and sturdy. It took my husband about 1/2 hr after watching the video before hand. We are very happy with our purchase.
Larry S.
The bike is great and surprisingly sturdy. It’s adjustable feet are great because we have it setup on uneven floors. The noise level is good.
The G1 bike upgraded the pedals for clip-in pedals and love the upgrade.
Eric A.
This Indoor Cycling Bike is obviously well made. All or the different parts show an attention to detail and all the joints are heavily soldered and nicely painted. For now, I'm happy with this purchase.
Edna S.
Been riding it for almost 6 months with no issues. It’s quite and does exactly what I need it to. I ride it while my kids are napping and watching TV so the phone display doesn’t bother me at all.
Beulah E.
I spent hours reading reviews of various bikes. Knowing that I have trouble sticking to new things that I try, I didn't want to splurge on a more expensive cycling bike. BUT I wanted a bike that would be good enough quality to work well and not hinder my enjoyment of a cycle workout.
I did my first workout this morning and LOVED it. In all honesty, I was pretty nervous to set this bike up myself. I read reviews that said it was simple but I have done cycling workouts in the past and know how intense some workouts can be. I wanted to make sure the bike wasn't set up poorly which could result in an injury. It was so easy to assemble, and when I did question/not understand the instructions provided I could easily find a tutorial video on Youtube to walk me through that part. I had my three little kids "helping" as I did the assembly and it took less than 30 minutes.
The bike does not take up a lot of space, and moves around easily with the wheels on the front... just be mindful of the wheels because stick out slightly in front of the bike and I have already stubbed my toes on them a few times and have had the bike less than 24 hours. So this is my initial review of the bike, seems to be excellent quality for the price, great customer service, its quiet and comfortable. Highly Recommend. I will update this review if I change my mind after more than just one ride ;)
Ty W.
My wife searched online and read reviews for weeks before saying yes to ordering this particular bike. It is so smooth, looks expensive and rides very well. The seat is comfortable too! She uses a Yesoul Sports app on her phone and I use bike as rehab post ACL surgery. We have never owned an expensive bike but cannot imagine one being much better than this one. Do not hesitate to purchase!
Bernardo D.
I got this exercise bike about a month and a half ago and since have put about 5 miles on per day. I bought this bike on a lightning deal for about 499 US dollars, and feel it was worth the money, maybe even a little more. It is not a high end bike but it is certainly not low end either. It is sturdy and can support at least 260 pounds of person. For all of those reasons I would say it would be worth purchasing.
Samuel F.
No frills stationary exercise bike performs perfectly. Cannot beat this product at the price point. Why pay Peloton prices when you can buy this?
Rosa T.
The bike looks very nice and elegant and works well and quietly. I make 20 miles every day without any physical problems. My only wish is that the machine could have more comfortable seat cushions (even if the price would be higher). I have recommended the bike to several of my friends. Hopefully they will consider buying it.
Connie M.
We bought this bike for my husband to use as part of rehab from a back injury (he doesn’t like exercise so I wasn’t sure he’d use it). Assembly was fairly easy and quick. He found it easy to use and has been on it almost every day. The best thing about it is how quiet it is…he peddles while we are watching TV and I can’t hear it at all! Great bike!!
Florence P.
I’ve had this bike for over 3 months or so. No problems and the setup was easy for my husband. It’s comfortable and I’m loving the results!
Helen G.
Perfect piece of equipment for daily use in small spaces. Assembly was quick and easy - clear instructions and no additional tools required. It is solid - operates smoothly and quietly.
Mary S.
First, the sensor does not work properly and after some research seems this is not common. On the bright side when I contacted Yesoul they shipped a new sensor quickly which worked.
Overall the bike is easy to assemble and seems sturdy. Quiet ride and comfortable seat.
Joann M.
Love this Yesoul exercise bike. As a small woman with short arms, when adjusted, everything fits amazingly well. Seat is not comfy. Set it up myself. Excellent product.
Lisa C.
YES. This bike is all it was promised to be. Very sturdy and quiet when in use. Very happy and I was able to get it at the time of the promotion. Hey Hey!!! I understand it is an indoor bike. With that being said; I've been trying to learn if I can safely use this bike out in my lanai (SW Florida) which is open air but protected from rain. I will email the manufacturer on that one. In conclusion, this product is highly recommended.
Jason H.
I was looking for something that would support my commitment to find ways to stay fit during the new year. This bike will help me do just that! Quality buy, assembly instructions easy to understand, right amount of physical challenge sturdy and quiet.
Blaine D.
Avid 2,000 mi per year road biker that wanted a indoor bike set up for winter. 6-7 weeks into owning this and it's holding up to it's rating. Assembly was easy and a manageable one person job.
At 6'1" 220lb the frame size is right for me with plenty of room for bigger or smaller guests to use. 10/10 in my book for what I wanted.
Michael M.
Quiet and sturdy- comfortable seat. I really like this bike- I just don’t understand why they went so cheap on the tablet holder attachment. It’s cheap, lightweight plastic material. You may want to figure out an alternative.
Edward H.
Could have had a taller seat raise bar (for a tall person). Pushed the seat back to accommodate for size.
Got in time for promotions!
Kenneth H.
Good bike to aide my physical therapy for achilles tendonitis. Good value for the price. I just use my ipad to listen to music and hoping to be able to start using the Yesoul Sports app soon to learn how to do a "real bike" workout.
Fernando C.
I upgraded from a regular exercise bike to this spin bike. After a lot of research, and without spending a crazy amount of money, I settled on this one - it had good reviews and fit my budget. I am very pleased with it and love my spin workouts. I am not great at assembling this kind of thing but I was able to do so without any help. It took about half hour in total. The iPad holder is awesome. A few reviews complained about the seat but exercise bikes are never comfortable and this is no worse than any other I've used. The resistance control is responsive and you can really feel the difference as you increase or decrease. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase ad highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good spin bike.
Benjamin T.
Looks good works great. Good for big people and small people alike, I'm 6'1 220lb and my 11yr old son is 5'3.
Diane M.
I like the Yesoul bike. It’s easy to assemble, it has not loud when you are using it and it’s really sturdy. I would recommend it to otherone.
Glennie B.
Amazing price point. Stable rides. Great app. I’m so happy things go so smoothly with this bike and i have lost weight that i thought i could NEVER ! Buy it use it eat right see results!
Richard T.
A glitch made it impossible for me to assemble the bike properly. Despite that, I could get it together sufficiently to take a test ride and I think this bike wouldn’t have been bad. It is no Peleton for sure but for a less expensive substitute it have been able to do the job for a couple of years.
Dulce M.
I really like this bike, especially that it can connect to Bluetooth and give me a cadence readout while I’m exercising. It looks really nice and is mostly metal which the bike are sturdy. It is very, very quiet.
Lisa M.
It was amazing experience. This product meet my needs with App. Their customer service was great. When I ask something simple question they feedback was so fast and perfect. I will buy it again if I have a chance to purchase again.
Sharon A.
I couldn’t be happier with this bike! The price is low considering the quality. It is quiet, which is perfect for early morning workouts while my family is sleeping. The Bluetooth in the app connects immediately with no issues. The app is good, it has a huge variety of workouts in 20, 30, & 45 minute blocks so you can pick a workout by how long you have.
I’m 5’1” & it adjusts down to my size which I’m very happy with.
It shipped & arrived at my house within 10 days of my order.
I can’t believe how good this bike is for the price, & that the free app has so many workouts. I would recommend this bike to anyone I know!
David R.
I used to be an avid cycler, and after switching to work-from-home I turned into a total couch potato. This bike is sturdy, looks great, quiet, and leaves off the unnecessary bells and whistles. The core functionality of this bike is 100% perfect. This product was hard to find, but I'm so glad I did.
Jayson R.
I assembled this bike on my own without having to read the instructions. It took me about 30 minutes. No problems, whatsoever. I had purchased a different bike from Costco and after only three weeks it came up with an error code that meant I needed to call customer service for a replacement main wire. No thanks on that, it’s just going back. After an insane amount of research on other bikes available, I came across the YESOUL. The other reviews that I read seem to be pretty accurate, it’s a quality build. It’s stable. It’s solid. It’s also quite attractive and different. Not a total eyesore. It’s silent. By silent, I mean SILENT. It has a smaller footprint than the other bike I had. Since I have a small space, that’s really important. I rode it for over an hour right after setting up and used the YESOUL app. I like the features of the app as well. The problem I have with the app is that it doesn’t track my workout if I use my phone in another app. Not a huge dealbreaker for me, I really just wanted a good bike. This bike is excellent. I appreciate the fact that it has a knob for manually adjusting the resistance and it has very minimal electronic components that need Maintenence. I don’t like high Maintenence equipment of any kind. I never write reviews but I’m blown away. This bike feels like a studio bike. The price point is overly fair, I’d pay hundreds more for this piece of equipment if I had to. The seat isn’t the most comfortable seat, I have to get some tools to swap it out but even during my ride this evening, my butt didn’t go numb. It’s totally tolerable. I even like the handle bars. It’s everything I was looking for in a bike and I snagged it with a coupon. Big thumbs up. I’ll update this review if anything changes but from my first impression, I’m overly smitten.
Harvey J.
Very high quality considering the price. Nearly silent operation. Sturdy.
Arrives mostly assembled -- only had to put the stabilizers on, the pedals on, the seat/seatpost together, and the handlebars/head post together. Took me longer to unpack and clean up the packing material than to assemble the whole thing. No tweaks to the drive mechanism or wheel were needed.
Bonus features: Pedals have SPD clips on one side, toe clips on the other.
On the whole, I am satisfied.
Matilda T.
Let me start with I was never super into spinning before the gyms all shut down, a couple a year for fundraisers etc... however once everything shut down and now you have to wear masks inside the gyms I needed something at home that would help me get a workout in! I searched for what felt like forever for the right bike, and G1 met it all. I use YESOUL SPORTS (free) and it’s great! The bike is soooo quiet and easy to move if you need to. My husband and I easily moved it from the garage to the lobby no problem! Again, not a profession spin person so I have no input on how accurate the output and calibration stuff like that. But if you want a quality spin bike that is way cheaper than the actual Peloton this is a winner :)
Billy M.
I have been using this bike for little over a week and I am quite impressed with it so far. I originally purchased the sunny bike model but had to return it after a couple weeks because when I would adjust the tension knob it would make a screeching noise that was unbearable. It literally sounded like a subway train coming to a stop. Now with the magnetic resistance that is no longer an issue, the G1 is extremely quite and sturdy. I was also initially concerned about the magnetic resistance providing enough force for an good workout but this is not the case. I am 6'2' and 205lbs and in pretty good shape (or so I thought) and the resistance levels are more than adequate. I don't need all the bells and whistles of a $2300.00 Peloton but I do want a good bike that will give me a great workout and not cost me a fortune. So far the G1 has met those expatiations. Hope this review helps.
Tameka K.
First off let me say, I did A LOT of research before getting this bike. I’m just getting into cycling and what was most important for me was: the ability to use with peloton. Honestly I thought about getting a peloton but wasn’t excited about the price tag and the higher membership fee.
Installation: some head-scratching moments. But overall my husband and I were able to complete in under 30min.
Overall: I think it is a good bike for the price. I ended up purchase a seat cushion. And although you can use with sneakers just fine (dual sided pedals), you can also use with SPD cycling shoes.
Herman S.
Updated review after having bike for 3 months. We love it. I ride the bike 2-5 times a week and have lost 13 lbs and my wife uses it about 3 times a week too. I have been using this bike with the Peloton App from my Android phone and it works great with the phone/tablet holder. I don't connect cadence from the bike to the app as it was not available on Android last time I checked, but I've found I don't need to. The RPM (cadence) bar is helpful to follow the cadence advised by the instructor. The resistance is a little different than Peloton, but there is an easy-to-follow conversion chart you can tape to the bike to follow along great or just say about 5-15 below what Peloton advises for resistance. The bike rides smooth, quiet, and sturdy. No issues with pedals or crank arms, although I did tighten the crank arms one time after I started hearing clicking noises, but that was during the first week of having the bike and have not had an issue since. Bluetooth heart monitor works well and the console has usb so you can charge the monitor or your tablet/phone while riding. Assembly was overall easy. Other reasons I like the bike include: (1)technology and versatility - to use different apps and have a charger, heart rate monitor, bluetooth, resistance, RPM/cadence (although in the form of a bar meter). versatility of pedals to use regular shoes or SPD clip-in (2)quality and sturdiness - overall feels sturdy and noiseless. No problem with pedals. Quiet magnetic fly wheel.
Vickie B.
I bought this bike to use with the zwift app. I ve been spinning for years and regularly spin at my gym 3-4 times a week. I wanted a bike that was heavy and could withstand a lot of use. I ve been using the bike 5x a week for past 2 months and if you use a heart rate monitor along with the app, you don t really miss knowing what resistance level you re working at. You should be able to push yourself and know if you re really working to the level you should be, when you re monitoring your heart rate. The app is free - there are so many great classes. I totally recommend this bike as a cheap but effective peloton alternative.
Jake R.
First I want to say that I spent a month trying to get this bike directly from Amazon and they did not have G1 or know when they would get it in stock. I finally googled the bike and found it on yesoulfitness.
That said this bike is worth every penny that I paid for it. From top to bottom it is made extremely well. The seat is super comfortable and I have taken many spinning classes in my day. I did not even need to put my gel seat on it. The bike is adjustable to fit your frame.. The base is adjustable to make for a more stable ride. I am super impressed and super happy with my purchase. My 1st workout was amazing. This is not a standard bike by any means. Definitely worth the purchase for anyone especially the serious spinning cyclist. I highly recommend this bike.

After reading dozens of reviews of the Yesoul G1 bike, I ordered one about a month ago. It was delivered by two guys (flatpacked) who brought the box into my home. Assembly was easy, took me maybe a half-hour (and that was taking my time).
NOTE: I'm absolutely convinced that everyone having trouble with pedals coming loose on this bike doesn't understand that the LEFT PEDAL SCREWS ON COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. I'm a lifelong cyclist so this was obvious to me but clearly it isn't to many people. If you try screwing the left pedal in clockwise, you'll probably succeed and strip the thread in the process! (Leading to the pedal coming out pretty quickly.) I screwed mine in correctly, going slow to be sure it was threaded properly, and have had ZERO issues with either pedal coming loose.
The bike has been flawless. So has the heartrate band worked perfectly the first time and has worked perfectly ever since.
For the cost, the Yesoul is a VASTLY better value than a Peloton bike or other more expensive spinbikes. I have no use for Peloton classes, so couldn't possibly care less about how well it works for those (but I hear it works fairly well if you want to do that). For my workouts, I've been using the app called "Zwift" on my iPad this app syncs perfectly with both the heartrate band and the cadence sensor on the G1. The magnetic resistance on the G1 is silky-smooth and feels great. The bike is quiet as a mouse.
Son W.
Bike is solid and heavy, comfortable, and works perfectly. This is my first indoor cycle machine but I have used some magnetic ones in the gym. The resistance knob seems to take a couple more turns to change significantly compared to the magnetic bikes, but it's not a big deal. It turns out the pad and wheel collect dust after not too long and start to do this. Additionally, the difference in the mechanical function was incredible. This is how the bike was supposed to operate: smooth, silent, clean.
Murray I.
I initially had myself convinced that a Peloton was well worth the investment. Then I moved down a bit to an Echelon. Then I found YESOUL in the course of my research. It is plenty durable for a guy my size (6’5”, 280), but can adjust all the way down to fit my wife (5’2”). And the app is free. It has become a much less painful alternative to running for me. I highly recommended it to anyone who might want the Peloton experience, but isn’t sure if they want to make the financial commitment.
Angelyn H.
Love its quite and comes with an app with instructors. My issue is the battery on the bike, which connects bluetooth to the app, dies daily. I've contacted support and let me change the new battery, now connect to normal.
William B.
Since this subreddit is rather dead I thought I’d share some thoughts on the Yesoul after owning it for a month and riding 6-7 time a week.
About me quickly… I’m a 37 male from Chicagoland. I used to cycle nearly daily up to 2017. Stopped after I got married and I’ve slowly gotten way out of shape after having 2 kids and not budgeting time for my health. So I decided I needed to get back to a regimen. Indoor cycling is more sustaining in the harsh winters.
How I came upon the Yesoul? Well the allure of the Peloton was certainly a driving factor. However it is simply cost prohibitive. So I started researching alternatives that eventually landed me on a few brands including Echelon, Sunny and Yesoul. The requirements were that the bike has to have Bluetooth connectivity, magnetic resistance, be compact and look decent in the home. I settled on the Yesoul because it simply seemed to offer the most value and it seemed like the company behind it had a cohesive vision and presence. I purchased it off of with $70 off.
Richard P.
I do like this bike it seems great I have had it almost a year and the pedal broke so there’s that. I can’t use it without the pedal and I don’t know the replacement size so I have to look for that other then that I do like it it is quiet and has great resistance.
Joyce S.
Great bike, but I had to do a lot of tweaks and sit in a particular way so that my thighs don’t rub against the seat mount. Probably going to have my dad saw off an inch and re-attach the soft endcap. My daughter told me to just ride the bike to get smaller legs… As If! Cher’s mom (clueless) wouldn’t have died of routine liposuction yes we could shed from our thighs without surgical removal!
Jacqueline W.
Received my bike today. Put it together in under 30 minutes, even with the littles climbing in and out of the box.
The bike is easy to adjust for each rider, and move if needed. Okay, so the good stuff....I had a Peloton for years. I loved it, but couldn't ride for about 2 yrs due to medical issues. I didn't want to spend the money on another Peloton, and figured I would use this for a yr or so, and then order the bike I really wanted. Little did I know, this bike would be amazing! It's sturdy, quiet, and more comfortable than my Peloton. I love that I can use the bluetooth to track my cadence and resistance. The classes and instructors are great, and I don't have to pay for an expensive month subscription! I wish I had ordered this sooner!
Daniel E.
Amazing quality, love that the bike is white and is not an eyesore in my house. It looks just like the picture. It's super quiet as well! I purchased another bike on amazon that was ok but it did not have the magnetic resistance and was kinda wobbly despite tightening everything. This one is definitely a higher quality and feels solid. Love the app and arm band to track stats. Totally worth the money.
Benton F.
I have been searching for an exercise/spin bike for awhile now and couldn't fathom spending thousands for something that I wasn't a 100% sure I would stick with. Did some research and watched a few YouTube reviews of the Yesoul and was like this is perfect. Assembly was done within 20 minutes as it is mainly assembled when it is shipped. I haven't done a class yet just mainly been figuring out the features and capabilities of the bike and the app. My only complaint is that while I knew you would need a phone or tablet to use the bike my intent was to mirror it to my TV. Which I can do that just fine from my phone or tablet. The issue is when attempting to do a class or scenic ride the video is extremely choppy and glitch. Thats mainly because the cast function isn't native to the app itself. So I had to use Samsung smart cast to get it on my TV but the quality is not that great. I believe if thr cast function was native to the app it would be better. Instead of going from the Yesoul app, Samsung smart cast, to the TV it would be better going straight from the Yesoul app directly to the TV. Other than that the seat is a bit painful which I hear just takes some getting used to but I may have to swap the seat out. However if you are looking for a smart spin/exercise bike then you won't be disappointed with the Yesoul.
Michael J.
Everything is extremely quiet.
A week in the logo sticker starter falling off. Just cosmetic but not expected
Other than that it is a nice bike. Very easy to adjust tension while riding and the app that you can use has tons of options for doing an exercise program.
I am 6 ft tall. Wish the handle bars came up a little higher. Don't see the need to lean forward to be aerodynamic on a stationary bike.
Pamela S.
Who needs a Peloton???!! This is one of the best valued and quality stationary bikes. My 10 YO Schwinn finally took a dump and I needed a good replacement. I looked at another Schwinn but read and reviewed number of negative youtube reviews. I happened to land on a fitness video influencer who had just purchased the Yesoul bike. Fast delivery, easy assembly and high quality were their comments. I did further research on youtube and the reviews were consistently high marks. I took the plunge. Express delivered in record time and I assembled it in record time---+/- 30 min (and I am a total non-tools guy!) This thing has trim footprint, SUPER quiet (so much so that the silence is almost weird that doesn't equate to a harder workout... if that makes sense). No complaints after 1.5 months of use (3-4 times per week). I haven't hooked up the heart monitor---don't really need it. The ipad holder is perfect.... and i got the black model which doesn't show the dirt or sweat. Again... who needs a Peloton
John N.
I spent months looking for a bike priced around $500. There are a lot out there.
I have been very impressed with this bike and especially the free app. I figure the money I am saving on the app will pay for the bike in just over 2 years.
PRO:
- Bike is really, really quiet. Your clothing might make more noise when you ride. I have no trouble sleeping when someone else is riding in the room just down the hall.
- App running on a tablet (Android) offers some really great classes that will motivate and push you. I really appreciate that the instructors tell you how to correct/focus on your posture and other techniques during the ride. There is a great variety of classes and new ones seem to appear every time I login.
- I really like that it has the heart rate, cadence and resistance sensors. I thought I'd want a bike that automatically adjusted the resistance, but I haven't missed it. You quickly learn how much of a turn to make for the resistance you want.
- Even the wife likes it!
CON:
- The pedals should probably be replaced, but that is easy and not very expensive. I haven't yet.
- The wheels in the front for moving the bike are hard plastic and should be softer rubber. Not hard to replace. I did.
- I wish the handle bars were able to be adjusted front to back and not only diagonally up and forward.
I am very glad I bought this bike and would do it again!
Michael F.
This spin bike is well worth the investment.
Delivery - the bike is well packed and protected. I was able to move it from the front door to the spare bedroom easily. Unboxing was simple.
Set up - Easy assembly. I performed while on a conference call. all the tools are included to assemble.
The Bike - Solid build and engineering. the stabilizing bars really keep this from rocking around. The magnetic resistance works extremely well. The bike is quiet! I didn't disturb anyone in the house! The seat is good but I changed it to one of my own bike seats.
The YESOUL app is good for being free. It has some workouts and outdoor riding videos.
Very Happy with my purchase.
Kate B.
I love the quiet ride of the Yesoul. It replaced a 39 year old bike that was very noisy. I loved the bike but my husband couldn’t deal with it on conference calls, lol! He said I needed a new bike.
The Yesoul is a good replacement. It has the sturdiness of my old bike. Not a lot of wobble like some of the bikes I tried. It’s foot print is small. It doesn’t take over the room. I am 5’1” , being short makes it hard to find one that fits me. I did add an extension bar so I don’t have to lean over constantly. Also added a non racer seat with extra cushion and width.
Great bike! I recommend this bike for quietness and sturdy ride.
Philip S.
This bike is amazing. It only has two issues for me personally and, one isn't even worth dropping stars for. That is I am replacing the seat. If you are larger or not a cyclist in general, this seat may cause discomfort. It is a racing seat for a spin bike, so the right seat was originally put on for that purpose. Having said that the bike is beautiful, build well, sturdy, and whisper quiet.
Another issues is I have an iPhone 12 and the app will not allow registration. The app gets a 2.5 rating because there are many of us who cannot create a Yesoul account, rendering the bike useless. I cannot track distance, speed, calories. I cannot see my heart rate while exercising (I do not wear a smart watch due to allergies). This part is a total bummer because I wanted the experience of a Peleton at a discounted rate.
Yesoul got back to me very quickly about my issue and it is fixed and running. It is a common issue so if you are having problems registering, a very simple fix might help. On the Iphone, if you have dark mode enabled instead of white backgrounds etc, you will miss a confirmation checkbox and some text. The app uses the same shade of grey as the dark mode so you literally cannot see it. An easy fix is to temporarily turn on bright (white screen) mode and then the full registration page will be visable! Thanks Yesoul!

This bike has a good design, good color, and flywheel and belt is pretty quiet. It’s a good fit if you are living in an apartment and need one.
However, first bike I received, one of part was missing. A screw was detached.
After contacting with support, I received a new one in 3 days.

The bike looks great, is well built, and was easy to put together. But the seat is so uncomfortable plus.

I think this bike wouldn’t have been bad. It is no Peleton for sure but for a less expensive substitute it might have been able to do the job for a couple of years.

Reported watts seems to be a bit inaccurate, but no easy way to calibrate/check.
Positive:
Main drivetrain seems solid after a week of 1hr rides/day. It is quiet.
Bike electronics link flawlessly with Yesoul app, as well as Zwift, Rouvy, and RGT.
Overall build seems fairly good, I am interested to see how the plastic bushing/shims in the extension/adjustment points wear over time, but so far bike feels solid.

Reach adjustment is directly coupled to handlebar height adjustment so if your upper body is shorter than lower body you may have to settle for lower hand position than you like to get a comfortable reach distance.
Included seat is fair, but too rounded for my anatomy, caused too much perineum pressure. Replaced it.

I’ve been a distance runner for 25 years. I suffered a meniscus tear and Bakers cyst a year ago and had to learn to like biking. I used to train on my road bike (see pic) on the cheesy trainer (super loud and vibrated through my house). I was over it! I considered Peloton for 5 minutes but didn’t want to pay the price plus the monthly app fee. I read many reviews of various bikes and settled on the Yesoul for many reasons the biggest being the price point and the free app. I used it today for the first time and loved it. There is nothing I would change. I got a sweet endorphin rush following an intermediate workout with the app. I love that that I can track the RPMs, my caloric output and all the things. Look no further- this is an extremely well made bike and you can’t beat the value! Super happy customer.

So far so good. Great for the cost! My biggest complaint is that the tablet holder is not adjustable. I can fit my iPad in there but not with the case on. And there's no where to put my phone.
I also was really disappointed that it cannot connect to the Pelaton App. It has its own app, but I hate the videos and instructors. So what I've been doing is watching pelaton on the tablet and using the yesoul app free ride mode on my phone to track my rpm and resistance to follow along with the pelaton workout. So since there's not enough room on the media holder, I use a rubber band around the handle bars to secure my phone.
But at the 500 price point, it's pretty good. I'm 5'5 and I have the seat and handle bars at their max height which is also a little concerning. But at the end of the day, it works for me and it was affordable.

I am stunned that this worked out so well. I was looking at $1500+ bikes a day earlier and thought I would take a chance on this bike. It's a true Peloton clone, quality and design-wise. Of course you don't get the big screen, but this bike allows you to use your own ipad. I was assembled and connected up with Zwift in 15 minutes. The bike is very solid and well built. If I were to critique anything, it would be that the tablet holder doesn't adjust for bigger than probably a 10.2" ipad. No big deal for me as that's what I have. If you are looking to save $1000 or more, go with this bike and you won't be disappointed. Make your own Peloton by connecting the apps.

I bought this indoor bike two weeks ago and I have been pretty happy with it.
First of all, it is easy to assemble. My husband set it up in roughly 30 minutes after checking up the manual. You just need to pay a bit more attention when aligning the stands with its matching poles. Other than that, it was intuitive.
Second, it is very, I meant, VERY, quiet. The bike runs very smoothly. Obviously, it is made of high quality material. Of course, the overall design is appealing, compact and modern.
I wanted to get a Peloton bike but ended up buying this one. I have to say, I am more than happy with it. It's more economic and meets all my needs. It offers wonderful coaches, measures your heart rate, calories burned, time spent...
It is sturdy enough to hold my 6 feet, 230-pound husband with no problem.
So far so good, and I'll update my review after a few months if I find anything to be improved.

This is a good quality stationary bike, the Bluetooth works with all my devices, including my oculus. I use this bike with VR exercise games (Holofit & Vzfit) and I have not had a single issue with the connection so far. I highly recommend this bike.
Jeffry O.
Wanted to have a exercise bike in my home.
Covid still makes gym visits hard.
Wanted a sturdy bike that would track heart rate, rpm, distance, and provide various riding programs.
Reviewed countless bikes through the internet.
Found several bikes outside my budget of $500-1000. None provided all the functions and features of the YESOUL.
Ridden the bike for a month. Very quiet. Good Bluetooth connectivity. Good riding programs. Sturdy.
Took several sessions to get my seat, handlebar and pedals adjusted for my riding style.
Great bike.
Jeffery S.
I am very satisfied with this bike. Very low noise level, almost silent. One thing to improve more would be the seat. It’s a but uncomfortable.
Christopher S.
I can't afford a more expensive bike so was taking a chance on this one. I love it: easy to put together, the seat is comfortable, the ride is smooth and produce almost no noise. I have been using it twice a day. I did not use the app and join any classes but I did checked it out. Many classes options. Once I can bike longer, I will definitely join in. Great bike and value for its price.

Best cycling bike out there. I use my apple fitness plus app and use this bike and I am ready to conquer yet another fight. This bike is quiet so I can cycle early or late at night. Thank you!!
Dennis B.
Updated.. Inspires customer service is super responsive. Company’s swapped out bike for a new unit.. it’s a crazy good value and solid bike. What I love- Bike has a small coin lithium battery that lets app track cadence, resistance and HR with the app on my phone (magnet mounted under the tablet holder), use my tablet to run classes. No tech maintained ever except update app on phone and eventually replace small battery on bike. NO NEED FOR EXPENSIVE SERVICE CONTRACTS ETC like Peloton.. Just wipe down bike after every ride… Same bike as Inspire IC1.5. GREAT value, love how quiet beautiful and comfortable bike is..small footprint and can accommodate a taller person. After 13 months- sigh- surface rust on weld points and crank arms. If your on the fence… buy the bike. It also has wheels on frame- easy to move bike away from a corner when I want to tuck it to the side of my room…

Excellent Purchase!! Solid and quiet spin bike. Purchased YESOUL after having much bad luck with a much cheaper online purchase for a different brand. The YESOUL is built extremely well and easy to assemble. The way the handle bars and seats are designed allows for NO PARTS jiggling when it is tightened to your desired setting while pedaling. When you ride, you shouldn't have parts of the bike constantly moving/being loose and making noise because the only thing that should be moving is your legs and pedals. When I pedal no matter how difficult the resistance, the bike is what? - SHHHHHH - so quiet. You don't even know I'm there. I can stand and pedal, sit and pedal or do all the 3 motion cycling and the seat and handle bars do not vibrate nor move or get loose. Most of the used spin bikes in my area were selling at the same price so why not just purchase it new? Just loving it! Thanks YESOUL makers!

Cost-effective product, easy to install, but the seat cushion is too hard and uncomfortable, you may need to change a seat cushion

I took a chance with this bike and overall I’m satisfied so far. It took me about 25 minutes to put together. The instructions were super clear, no worries there. The bike looks nice and it doesn’t take up a ton of room. The components are fairly low quality but that’s to be expected, specifically the water bottle holder. That already came off. I’ve done 5 rides so far and here’s my general consensus.
1. The magnetic resistance is smooth and mostly quiet. I’m 220lbs and 6ft and I keep the resistance over 65 at all times, under that seems like I’m free spinning. So keep that in mind if you have stronger legs.
2. The app is not good. If you get this, be ready with a different app to do workouts. I use Apple fitness plus and it’s a great fit with this bike. If you are relying on this app for your workouts it’s not going to be a great experience. There are 5 live action rides and it’s just a video of someone on a path with the exercise data in front of it. The app also doesn’t have a setting to change from metric to imperial which is a tiny bit annoying. I use a phone to show the raw data and my iPad to play the Apple workouts and it is going great.
3. If you’re over 6ft it may be too small. Im 6ft with a 32 inseam and I have the seat on its max settings and it’s comfortable but I would honestly love a little more height.
4. If you got thighs like I do, they might rub a little on the seat post. Pictured. I’ve tried adjusting it to avoid that, but I’d have to adjust away from proper geometry. It’s not at all unbearable but you can feel it.
5. Adjusting the bike to a second or third rider is a little tough. My girlfriend has troubles moving the bars down but it may loosen up with time.
At the end of the day, super pleased with this for $540 out the door. It helps me sweat and keeps my heat rate up. I plan on getting cycle shoes and pedals and riding daily!

Handle bar got a blemish… called tech support.. great communication… they shipped me a new handle bar
Frances G.
Love this bike, use it daily. My boyfriend is a bike guy and assembled it no problem-- if you don't have a pro on your team I suggest getting it put together by a bike specialist!
Lori L.
Was able to put it together by myself. Used it for 2 months now and haven’t ran into any issues. Pretty sturdy and quiet.
William B.
I didn’t realize this bike doesn’t have a console! It does have a QR code to download to use for the Yesoul program but it was just different to not have a console. Also, during set up I had to shave off some plastic to get the handlebars to slide in.
Joseph K.
Sleek look but the biggest downfall is that the seat isn’t comfortable which makes it difficult to ride for a long time.
Joy H.
I really like it. The only complaint is how uncomfortable the seat is. I put a cover over it and it helps.
Rebecca S.
The only compliant I can make is that I purchased the white one and the black bike was delivered. It was too big for just me to take down three flights of stairs, so I just kept the black (oh well haha). Other than that, there are zero complaints! I love how quiet it is. I love the size. I love the tablet holder!
Bruce C.
Looks excellent. Solid construction. Quiet. Below average electronic. Uncomfortable seat (I replaced it). Height adjustment may not fir everyone.
Gerald D.
I have had the bike for about 2 weeks and 8 rides. Really like the bike so far, it was easy for me to assemble by myself. Absolutely no noise and easy to adjust the tension.
Albert R.
Very simple with a little bit of lift that helps when spinning. The angle of the seat to the handlebars are too separated requiring you to have to lean further forward than normal.
Robert D.
So far I really like it. The product came missing the plastic sensor cover on the front of the bike. But they sent the part as soon as I asked. The app needs some development but I’m loving it so far!
Clayton B.
Very interesting bike , does the job for a normal price. Because it is connected via bluetooth you can connect with many apps and have fun with it. You also don’t pay for their class videos that are good. Believe me you will sweet and get engaged. But there is also the very expensive option that obviously it doesn’t provide you 3 times more than you will get to pay. Price/quality give me one that beets this yesoul.
Ian B.
Bike came very quickly and only took about 20 minutes to put together. This bike is super quiet which I love. I deducted one star because the App could use some improvements and I also wish the handlebars were tilted more.
James A.
Cons: Saddle post too wide, rubs against inner quads. Need handle bars cushioning for longer riding duration. App does distance in Km instead of miles...
Pro: quietness and assembly
Kari B.
The bike is terrific- sleek- comfortable and quiet. Only problem- only fits mini iPad. My iPad Pro is wider than the stand. 12.9”. I can’t use the App because it only comes on iPad in landscape- but I can only fit iPad using portrait. Very frustrating!!! Stand should be expandable. This is very disappointing. I can’t buy a new iPad!!!!
Cheryl F.
This bike is awesome! I have the white version, and it is gorgeous. It was very easy to assemble, and takes less than 30 minutes to be up & running. Customer Service is awesome, as I had an issue with one of my pedals, and they took care of it not only quickly but went above and beyond in service.
The bike feels very sturdy to me, and because of the BT, I can follow my cadence / resistance along with the Peloton App no problem. I didn't want a Peloton, as I didn't want the giant screen. This works perfectly with my ipad.
Love, love, love this bike.
