Side by Side Comparison of: Sunny Health & Fitness vs Zacro vs SuperMats vs KLOUD City vs ChargerCity

I never write reviews but I had to for this bike. I've been spinning for 15 years in various gyms and have ridden many different bikes. This bike is so quiet and smooth. Love the angle of the handlebars. Can't believe it was so inexpensive. I had some trouble putting it together but once I did, everything was perfect. I'm 5'6" and the size is perfect for me on a lower setting, do I'm sure taller people would be fine.

This is a great piece of equipment for the money, I am 6'2 and my wife is 5'5' and we both ride it comfortably. We have put 3+ hours a week on it since we received it and it has been excellent so far. It is very quiet, very smooth and has a spot to rest the ipad to watch spin training videos on. We did swap out the seat for a narrow anatomical seat, which has made a huge difference in comfort. I typically do a 20 mile weekly ride when it is nice out and this has allowed me to continue to ride when the weather is poor.

I got this bike while recovering from hip surgery. I couldn't run so stationary biking was a good way to keep my legs moving and get a cardio workout. I'm grateful to the FedEx guy that carried the package up to my second story apartment because this thing is solid and pretty heavy! Assembly was easy, I had it ready to go in about 20 min. The bike is very sturdy and has a very good solid feel to it while I'm pedaling- the frame is solid and the flywheel is a good weight so it has a pretty realistic feel. The seats have a pretty good range- my girlfriend, at 5'1", and myself, at 5'9", can use the bike comfortably. The handle bar is also adjustable and the seat can go backwards and forwards so you can customize the fit. There is a little bit of noise as this is a chain drive but its not bad at all. I set up a fan right in front of the bike, put on a show on Netflix, and get my workout on. Very pleased with this bike, especially considering the price.

This bike is awesome. I bought the bike 6 weeks after I had my baby. As a new mom it is almost impossible to get to the gym on a regular basis. While the baby napped I would roll my bike out in front of the TV and ride (has back wheels easy for moving). The bike is on par with any bike I have ever used in a gym. I was an avid spinner before baby and was very happy with the build of the bike. I am taller 5’9 and had no problem adjusting the seat to my needs. The bike is light enough that you can roll it from room to room. My husband assembled the bike in about 20 minutes. It came in large pieces and did not require any complicated assembly. Overall I am happy with this purchase. I lost my baby weight and got back in shape without leaving the house. The price is also great considering I did not need a gym membership or a babysitter.

The shipping for this item was very quick, at least 3 days before quoted! I have been a runner since high school and have had ongoing knee pain for the past few years. Spinning gives me an incredible workout without the high impact. There are many 30 and 50 minute cycling workouts posted on the internet for free. I've been doing them 6 days a week for the past 2 weeks and the change in routines and songs are very motivating. I just gave birth to my second child 10 weeks ago and I've already lost all my pregnancy weight plus 7 lbs! It's a great bike and my iPad sits nicely on the handle. Hubby put it together in less than 30 minutes. Buy!

Let's cut to the chase -- this exercise bike is smaller than the most popular models. It is 43" high rather than the standard 47" high. Those few inches make a huge difference if you're under 5'4". We have users that range from 5'0" to over 5'8" riding this bike and they can all adjust it to be perfectly comfortable. The same users could not use models that are 47" high even with the seats lowered as far as they could go. The handlebars could also be adjusted for comfort for a rider who like road bikes where the handlebars are low (level with the seat) and for users who are used to comfort bikes, where the handlebars are much higher, allowing for upright riding.In more detail:Assembly: All parts are provided, including tools! One thing to note is that the bolts are already screwed into the parts for shipping. You need to unscrew the bolts, put the parts together and then re-insert and tighten the bolts. The only parts you need to assemble are the legs, the seat post and the handlebar. It took about 15 minutes total. It can be done by a single person, but because the main body of the bike is heavy (with the flywheel), two people would make it easier. The only other odd part of the assembly is the plastic housing that covers the bolts that connect the handlebars to the vertical bar. The vertical bar is square but the plastic housing through which it must be inserted is mostly round. It has several notches cut into the plastic housing to allow the bar to be inserted though it. However, when inserted with the notches at the corners of the square bar, the plastic housing is not aligned correctly. I thought this was a manufacturing error. What I did was insert the housing all the way to the end using the notches and then twisted the housing to the correct alignment. It worked fine that way and the rest of the assembly of the handlebars went smoothly.Adjustments: One of the places where the manufacturer took a short cut for cost is the adjustment knobs. Many of the other exercise bikes in this price range have a spring loaded adjustment knob so that you just have to loosen it, pull it out against the spring and move the component (seat or handlebar), then release the knob to click into one of the pre-drilled holes. This bike uses a screw-in knob. In order to adjust, you need to fully unscrew the knob out, make your adjustment, then line up the hole in the bar and re-screw in the knob. This is much harder to do than a spring-loaded adjustment knob. It's not a deal-breaker, but it is an inconvenience. I wonder if you can buy spring-loaded adjustment knobs aftermarket.iPad Holder: This was the best surprise one could get. I was planning on buying an iPad holder that could clamp onto the handlebar. What I found was that the handlebar has a large U-shaped part between the long handlebars. Along with the plastic housing that covers the bolts, the U-shaped bar makes a perfect iPad platform that is stable, large and perfectly angled to watch videos as you workout. Did they design it that way on purpose? I don't know, I just know that it works perfectly!Seat: The seat is wide and cushioned. However, we will be replacing it with something even more comfortable. The seat is not razor thin, but it is hard enough that some users may want to find a replacement. Seats are a personal preference I think. The one they provide is not bad, but you could do better if you want longer workouts.Summary - For the vertically-challenged, this exercise bike is a god-send. I saw one review on this bike that said that it is not for under 5'5". I couldn't disagree more. It is perfect for 5"0" and above. With the iPad platform and quiet operation, it is a great way to get exercise at home!

didnt give five stars because bars dont move foward or back and with a 34in inseam a little to much forward lean of torso,i,ve had mine for 5+ years,paint alittle worn in some spots and the seat is starting to wear out,got booko miles on it,no sign of it falling apart.there is no spin bike under $200 on market as good as this one,period!i use chain lube on it since i use to race motorcycles and a well lubed chain is a happy chain,even if there is a little lube spattering.plan to take it to bike shop and get crank bearings repacked with fresh grease.if your strapped for cash this is the bike for you.no rear wheel thou so dont expect to go to far:)yuk

I bought this to use at my boyfriend's house because there wasn't a convenient way to exercise near him. I bought a subscription to Peloton and I've been using it about twice a week. Sure, it makes a little noise, that's normal. I found the size of the bike perfect for me. I'm 5 feet tall. I was worried about the wheel only being 30lbs because I'm used to the bike at the gym, but if you add enough resistance it's fine. My boyfriend put the whole thing together in about an hour by himself.

I love this bike! It was delivered today and after my first 15 minutes on it, I was in love! I'm not an expert on spin bikes. I've only taken 1 class, which kicked my out of shape butt. For a beginner, this bike is more than adequate for my needs. It's quiet, sturdy. The handlebars adjust up and down. The seat adjusts up and down as well as forward and back. Plus adjustable resistance so I control the intensity of my workout!The only reason I give this 4 stars is due to the assembly instructions. With the tools provided, I was able to assemble this in just under an hour but at times I had to just look at it and figure it out. The instructions were just too....wordy.Will update after I've used it a couple of weeks!

I ordered this bike as a beginner in spin. It was fairly easy to put together (about an hour for me). When I started to ride, it made a very loud clunking noise which I could also feel as I rotated the pedals. The chain needed to be tightened; however no instructions come with this bike on how to do this or any other maintenance. You only get instructions on how to put it together. I emailed the seller, and they emailed back with some pictures on how to tighten the chain. Once that was done, bike was quiet and smooth. Overall, it seems very sturdy. Many say the seat is uncomfortable, which it is if you don't ride it routinely. If you get used to it it's fine, or you can purchase a seat cover. I've now used for a few weeks; for the price, you can't really beat it. Other bikes are $700 or $800, which is too high for a beginner I think (you just don't know how much you will use it).

Great price and options, but definitely some drawbacks. The Q-factor is pretty large (width between pedals), compared to how I have my road bike set-up I feel like my feet are really far apart. The plastic shroud on the chain drive is a little off so there is a rubbing noise when working out. I installed my own saddle as the one shipped is terrible. This was a challenge as the clamp is too wide for the rails on a quality saddle, it took some persuading to get it on, but is doable. The stem was welded about 2-3 degrees off to the right. It doesn't sound like much, but it is like ridding and continuously turning, I corrected this poor quality by shimming the plate and bolting it on.It is amazing how quiet it is compared to a road bike on a magnetic resistance trainer. The first day I was actually able to watch a movie on a ultraportable laptop using the built-in speakers, which are notoriously under powered.

I researched several bikes and kept coming back to this one. It seemed to have what I needed and wanted in an exercise bike at a reasonable price. I like riding my mountain bike but wanted something when I couldn't or didn't want to ride outside. The one think I noticed on multiple reviews was issues with shipping damage. I would stress right now not to put anything together until you have verified all parts are damage free. The box I contained actually looked in really good shape. I was very unhappy with the contents however because of the amount of cosmetic damage to various parts. I even had difficulty mating parts of the assembly. I would have given this bike 5 stars if not for the shipping issues. Great exercise bike that really imitates a normal bike and would be easy to put together if not for the damage. Moves around very easily and enough adjustments to adjust to anyone with a couple of turns of the knobs. You may want to buy a gel seat cover or change the seat if you do not ride often. If you are looking for a good bike value this is a good find.

Eh! It's ok, it does the job! I regret not going for a higher standard of bike now though!

High quality construction. Very heavy so you won't be moving it around. I wish the seat was larger, and that the handlebar rotated towards the rider (not just up and down).

Nice bike(second one bc 1st on came damaged) but now after 3 weeks tension knob is making a horrible screeching sound, metal against metal. Contacted sunny for tech support and waiting for a response.

This is a perfectly good exercise bike for the price. I wouldn't say that it's whisper quiet like advertised, but it's ok. The plastic chain guard was on mine in such a way that the chain rubbed on it as i peddled, so i had to wedge something in between the frame and the guard to push it up a bit. Fixed the problem. The seat is not very comfortable. The handebars are great and has a place to rest something such as a book or iPad. Easy to move around as it's got little wheels on the front.

I originally bought this for the style and because of the review that was left about the 'built in iPad holder'. Both my son and I use this bike and never without the iPad. It is truly a cool feature that's not even listed! (so thankful someone included it in the review). I get so much reading done in the morning while I am exercising on the bike because of the iPad. It also fits my Chromebook but it's hard to see the screen.I would have given it 5 stars since it's stylish, it was easy to put together (my 13 yr old son did it while I was cooking dinner) and the iPad thing is just awesome... BUTThere is one huge issue. The seat adjustment uses a knob (you can see it in the picture under the seat) that screws in. Well, the holes aren't aligned and the knob will not fit at all - no matter what we tried. So we have the metal rod in its place. Every time I move the bike the metal rod falls out and I'm always afraid it will fall out while I'm biking. So yeah it's a major issue so I took away 2 stars.Other than that, both my son and I use it all the time, I love the way it looks with the sleek retro design and again, the iPad feature is just perfect.

I know you get what you pay for so I can't fault this bike too much. My husband assembled it. He said it was easy. I wish the handle bars raised a bit higher so I won't slouch so much (lower back problems.) The gears give a good range of resistance like the bikes at the gym do. Nice water bottle holder. My number one complaint is that it is really loud ! I know the bikes at the gym sound just as loud but when I'm in my living room , I can't watch tv because I can't hear it! I will still use this bike because I already spent the money and I don't want to spend hundreds more on a better one, I will just be a good sport and throw on some headphones and my iPod instead of watching tv shows.

While this indoor bike was easy to assemble, I would return it if it wasn't such a hassle to disassemble and box up. The issues I have with it are that 1) the seat is so uncomforable that it makes your workout painful. I purchased a padded bike seat cover, but it didn't fit around the large seat, and didn't help. 2) I'm 5'3" and at the bike's shortest settings, I still have to stretch my arms uncomfortably to reach the handles. My husband is 6'2" at the opposite side of the spectrum, and also said this bike was terribly uncomfortable 3) The pedals are a pain to get your foot into, and have spikes on them to hold your shoe in place, so you cannot ride barefoot. 4) (and this is a personal issue) but I wish I purchased a bike that tells you what tension you choose so I can set the correct intensity for HIIT workouts. Overall, I regret this purchase and will probably sell it on LetGo and purchase a better one.

After using it for about 2 moths the right pedal broke. I need a replacement !

To be fair, I haven't had the opportunity to ride the bike much because 20 days after delivery, I believe it may finally be functional. The bike was fairly easy to assemble. If you can follow the pictures in an IKEA manual, you can build this bike no problem. However, on the final step, I had a little trouble getting the right pedal to thread onto the crank. I thought I had managed to get it on, but 15 minutes into my first ride (which I was enjoying), the right pedal flew off and I couldn't get it back on.I emailed Sunny Health customer service and they responded quickly, within 24hrs. They were apologetic and immediately mailed me a new right crank. As in, they only sent me a crank. No instructions on how to install it (this came pre-installed when the bike was delivered) and no instructions. Ok, fine. So I found they have a youtube channel with repair videos, which is where I learned that I needed a socket wrench (which I didn't own) and a special tool- a park tool. So again, I emailed customer service. Again, I got an apologetic email and they immediately emailed me the tool. Again, just an envelope with the tool- no instructions. My crank was harder to remove than the bike in the YouTube video, so there were a lot of #%*& bombs flying for a while. I finally managed to get it installed.I haven't had a chance to ride it yet, but I'm so annoyed that it's taken almost 3 weeks, multiple correspondences (albeit positive) with customer service, and an investment in a new set of socket wrenches to have a (hopefully) functional bike. Admittedly, this bike is reasonable in price, but does that mean I have to learn bike repair before I can use it?? I would have sent it back if I could, but I had gotten rid of the packaging already. So far, I've burned calories due to frustration and trying to unscrew really stubborn bolts. Here's hoping things get better from here. Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1001S Indoor Cycling Bike, Silver

Loved the bike, but four months in the right crank is totally stripped out. Finally got to the company and got the part. Looked like everything was going great. Asked for replacement instructions. Received them and learned I needed a crank tool. Any guess how many are out there with no guide as to how to select the right one. Really disappointed, but you might be lucky and not get a bad crank.

This bike was awesome for about a month, then it started to get very loud. It started to make a very loud clicking/knocking sound when in use. At first it was tolerable but now it's extremely annoying and is only getting worse. I've adjusted every bolt on the thing, tightening them and loosening them. No configuration seems to work. I'm thinking of taking it to a local bike shop to have them adjust/fix it. I gave it two stars because it is a nice looking bike and easy to assemble. I just think i got a lemon.

It came out of the box with something loose in the flywheel that I can't get out and makes noise as it spins, and then within hours of use it developed a clunking sound on every rotation of the pedals. So the whole thing is kind of noisy and annoying. Afraid it's going to break. Also the seat was real uncomfortable. Otherwise it functions as a cheap exercise bike. Get what you pay for I guess but I wish I had at least gone with the comparable Schwinn just for the brand name.

The seat will not stay on. It wobbles back and forth and side to side. The bike would otherwise be very useful and ride-able but the seat literally doesn't work at all. I have to duct tape it and stuff a towel underneath to somewhat ride it. I would love to send the bike back but we already put it together. DO NOT BUY THIS!! If I could give less than one star I would.

The saddle on this bike continually slips from position to position even though the nuts have been fully tightened. The saddle seems to be defective and we will be asking that a replacement saddle be shipped to us.

The left pedal on this bike bended down slightly after only about three months of use. I would always get on the bike on the left side, so I'm guessing it wasn't strong enough to support my entire body weight. Now when I try to pedal the metal crunches and it's difficult to complete a smooth rotation. I'm only 140lbs, and I was only using the bike a couple of times a week. I was expecting the product to be sturdier.

I was very excited to receive this bike and started putting it together right away. I first noticed that it was missing one of the bolts and washers and went to Home Depot to get a substitute. I then realized that the rubber interior of the frame where the handlebar goes in was broken with the piece stuck inside at the bottom. The paint in that area was also chipped. I paid for a new, undamaged product, and yet what I received was completely unacceptable. I contacted the seller (Fitness Avenue) and they informed me that this is simply a matter of replacing the busing inside and that they can send me a new piece. How am I supposed to replace it when I can't get the old broken piece out? They said that I had the option of returning it but that I would be responsible for shipping costs. Considering the bike weighs 80 lbs, this would eat into a good portion of my refund. I'll post pics of the damage here. I'll update this review if I get a satisfactory resolution, but so far I am one very unhappy customer. [UPDATE: Seller issued refund. Ordering the bike from a different store and will update my review of this bike once I actually have a working one that I can try out. SECOND UPDATE: Got the bike from a store and all the parts were brand new and fit together well. The bike itself is great though the seat can get really uncomfortable and doesn't always lock into place (twists side to side sometimes). Overall very happy with the bike, just not my experience buying from the Amazon third-party seller. Though, now that I know how much I use the bike, I kind of wish I'd paid more for the better Sunny version with the slightly heavier flywheel.]

The bike was pretty easy to put together even though the instructions are very vague. The seat to the bike is not stable and is made of cheap metal the bends easily. The threading on the pedals was defective as well so the pedals do not screw in at all. What a pain this is going to be a nightmare to return because it is so big. It is not worth the risk to purchase this because it is cheaply made

I really enjoyed this bike my first two rides, though it was a little noisy. During my last ride, the chain slipped or broke and its proving impossible to get the chain guard off to try to fix it. Fully annoyed and hoping I'll be able to return it.
