I wish I could give this bike 10 stars. To start it is true to the description as a very sturdy and stable bike. I wasn't looking for one of those flimsy bikes that would wobble around and make a lot of noise. The C505 model that I bought is quiet and stays stable as you work out. I'm able to pump hard and the bike remains in its place. The bike is fully adjustable, I can get the handlebars and the seat at just the right height and distance I want. The handlebars allow multiple ways to ride from a traditional straight bike handle to a racing stance grip and more. Integrated into the handlebars is a heart rate monitor. The display shows your distance, duration, heart rate, and calories burned. The resistance is controlled by a single knob and can be set from very little resistance to ultra training resistance.You can have the bike pre-assembled for a fee or put it together yourself like I did. It's very easy to put together but you might need a partner to help you. The package is heavy so be careful.The price was very reasonable, and I feel like I've got the quality of the Peloton without the price. Yes, you don't get the monitor screen for taking Peloton lessons and riding in the Alps. However, you could set it up Infront of the TV and go to YouTube and find a POV of the Alps and presto you're riding in the Alps.All in All, I highly recommend this exercise bike.

So, I’ve had this bike for almost 2 months. This thing is a tank. It is sturdy and quite.I chose this bike because I’m 6’4” and 190lbs. It has 4 way adjustable handle bar and seat. I’d like to see Pooboo make the seat post and bars a little taller and I did let them know. I also didn’t want to pay Peloton prices as my wife did. I will do a ride comparison between the two at a later date. I’ve yet to ride the Peloton. But so far my wife and I have ridden together and I will say, the Pooboo is comparable when it comes to noise output. The Pooboo is not magnetic and creates a little more noise at the wheel in comparison. But nothing annoying. Pretty quite to say the least. However, out of the saddle comparison, the Pooboo destroys the Peloton. At least compared to my wife’s. Hers sufferers from creaking noises from pedals. As for pedals, if you plan on clipping in with regular bike pedals forget it with this model. The bolt to crank is super large and nothing fits it. However the cages are sufficient.One thing I read on previous reviews is that when increasing resistance it takes small adjustments to get to full resistance. That is true especially when new. It will improve as you break in the leather pad. However, I’d suggest you buy treadmill lubricant for the flywheel. It keeps the wheel clean from black streaks and lubricates the wheel for smoother resistance.As for issues, most where user error on my part. I stripped the handle bar lever that tightens the bars. Make sure that the levers are seated before turning. The lever teeth are not the best and will strip if not seated. Secondly, I had issues with the computer. It stopped recording the rpm/cadence on one of my rides. This is extremely important if you decide to participate in Peloton classes. Cadence is KING! I wasn’t able to reset it so I decided to push the computer sensor in closer and broke it against the crank. Ugh! New bike and all ready broke! Needless to say, I’d read about the customer service and it is everything they said. I contacted them and they sent out replacement parts ASAP. My bike is now fixed and rocking. Don’t purchase any additional protection, Pooboo has your back!All in all id recommend this spin bike. The price was 899, but they offer discounts of $100 to $200. I purchased mine for 649. I have great workouts and keep it in tip top shape.One last thing, it’s rated to hold 330 pounds. I’d guess it’s a gross understatement. Because Pooboo rates lesser bikes at that same weight and this spinner is a tank. Nothing they make compares. So, if your heavier than 330 pounds, I’d still purchase this bike. It is built to last!

I've experienced similar frustrations/failures regarding poor belt drive quality as well as subsequent customer service support as the previous one star review shared.I purchased the bike in November of 2020 & used it approximately 2-3 hours per week to supplement my exercise program. The drive belt broke in early Oct. of 2023 rendering the bike useless.In speaking with their customer service dept. over multiple phone calls, it's clear to me that they offer no options to order a replacement belt.Included is a picture of the bike along with the broken belt. While the body & frame are in excellent shape, the belt is cheaply made. I purchased a SchwinnIC4 as a replacement & will be donating the PooBoo to recycle.

For the most part, I like everything about this bike except two things. The first thing is that I cannot find SPD clips for this bike due to the fact that the manufacturer used pedals with a 20mm spindle. This is a very uncommon size so finding replacement pedals is impossible. On the pedals I received, it looks like there are tiny holes where you could mount the clips but the holes are not very deep and they are not threaded. So even if you buy a conversion kit, you cannot mount them. One of the other reviews stated that the bike comes with SPD clips but mine did not. I looked on ebay as another review recommended but was not able to find 20mm pedals, only 9/16".The second thing is the space between the handle bars and the seat. I find that it is a just a bit too long even with the seat all the way forward and the handles bars all the way back. For a shorter person, this would be a little uncomfortable.I do like everything else about this bike. It is very sturdy, easy to use, but I did need to purchase a seat cushion as I simply could not get used to the standard seat.
