Active 200 Smart Magnetic Cycling Exercise Bike

I revisited my purchase 3 years later to see if there was an answer to a noise problem (there was), hence why I write a review in 2021 for something I bought in 2017.My Sunny bike has been a durable exercise option and has not become a laundry hangar during that time. I've had no issues with the bike with the exception of excessive brake noise during a ride. (The remedy is a small amount of grease on the wheel, as the brake pad is dry.)The handlebars on this are not comfortable. I have layered the bars with foam and tape, which has been marginally effective. I've tried resizing/adjusting the bike, but it only hurts my seat or knees.Good workout machine. Stats are minimal, but I'm fine w/ that. All I need is time. All other stationary bike stats (even Pelaton) are relative and not realistic/accurate, so...If you're in the market and are considering Pelaton, grab one of these, mount an old iPad to the handlebars (maybe one w/a Pelaton subscription?), and decide if the difference is worth the $2000 more. I figured I'd give this a try before buying a Pelaton, and decided to spend my money elsewhere.

I've had this bike for a month now, and am very happy with it. It's sturdy and very quiet. It even comes with a phone/tablet tray, which is not mentioned in the description. You need give the felt pad a quick spray with some silicone grease (I used WD40) or it will sound like a wet finger being drawn around the edge of a wine glass! This is mentioned on the very last page of the manual under maintenance. Pitty it doesn't come lubed from the factory. Occasionally there's a very light thump on each rotation of the peddles. I contacted Sunny support, and they got back to me within 24hrs with some suggestions, including instructions on how to adjust the belt tension. I've not done that yet as the issue is very minor, and only happens occasionally. My only criticism is that the computer screen is small, and sits a bit too low, making it hard to see. It also doesn't show RPMs, so I've ordered a cheap cadence sensor to use with my phone.

Here is my review from construction and first use.First thing you should know, is to bring your own tools. Don’t bother using the given items. You will need an adjustable wrench, 14 and 17mm sockets, a 6mm Allen wrench,and a Phillipshead screwdriver. Assembly is easy enough with clear directions. Quality build.Literally step 1, the very first Allen screw I tried to unscrew on the shipping base broke the supplied Allen wrench. Made me laugh but since I’m a grown up, I went and got my own tools before I went any further.I’m 6’1” and 180# and this bike fits me and allows me to fully extend my legs. The flywheel is heavy which supplies smooth rotation. The applicable resistance is highly sensitive (good thing) and allows variable resistance depending on my workout.I have a bony butt but this seat really isn’t too uncomfortable that I will be purchasing a new one, or placing my road bike seat on this machine.Going through a single workout I can see myself using this very often when my son goes to sleep. It’s super quiet, even with high resistance.I have this a 4 out of 5 stars to start because of the water bottle holder being out of reach for me (too low), but for the price (less than $200 on a daily deal) and shipped to me the next day after the order I shouldn’t complain.

I bought this bike for my wife because she loves spin classes. We looked into purchasing a PELETON bike but they are above our price range. She purchased a monthly subscription to the Peleton app for $12/month (which you still have to with a peleton bike) and uses her bike 3-5 times a week. She is 5'6" and I am 6'1" 190lbs. It can easily take my weight and force. Our whole set up is a third of the price and works great. We added a speed bike seat and an ipad holder.Pros:1) PRICE!2)Durability, I haven't had to tighten or make any adjustments to the bike after 6 months of use and nearly 300 hrs of ride time.Cons :1) the saddle is too large2)the saddle height adjustment bar wobbles even while at firm adjustment to the locking mechanism. (I don't want to strip it so I won't tighten too much).3) The wheels are rather small but the upgraded version has roller blade wheels.--it appears that the more expensive version of this sunny health bike has upgrades that address these issues so I would suggest spending an extra $30-$50 to solve these issues.-One major downfall that none of these bikes can solve in comparison to the pelton bike is that it doesn't measure cadence or show resistance-You can purchase a wahoo sensor that measures that attaches to the pedal for around $70 and then use the app on your phone.Links to my upgradesIpad Holder: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZXRH84M/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_56saddle replacement: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZP2AT5O/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_44

I spontaneously bought this bike in the middle of quarantine because I was going crazy with not being able to go to my daily 7am spin classes in the city. I was going back and forth debating whether or not I wanted to buy this, but when I saw that it was finally back in stock with only 13 bikes left, I decided to splurge.Came relatively quickly (about a week), super heavy to bring up 3 flights of stairs, but the assembly was very straightforward. I would recommend buying a separate mat for the bottom of the bike for more stability/less noise.Overall, it’s a pretty solid bike that gets the job done. I don’t use the heart rate monitor as I have a FitBit. My only complaints are 1) I wish the seat had more notches that made it easier to adjust. My normal bike settings for the bikes I use at the spin studio I go to had to be drastically modified in order to fit this bike. 2) It seems like there’s not that much weight on the frame for it to be 100% stable/sturdy. Whenever I’m sprinting out in 3rd position, I can feel the bike rocking back and forth pretty easily.Honestly, I would recommend buying this bike. It provides a pretty solid workout as long as you know what you’re doing on it.

I bought this about six months ago to use with the Peloton app when the gyms closed due to covid-19 and so far, it’s been a dream. It’s quiet, stable and was easy to put together. I’m an experienced spinner so the lack of metrics and a cadence computer isn’t a huge issue for me. The bikes I’ve used at gyms before haven’t always had them so I’m used to adjusting my tension and speed based on the instructors’ and my body’s physical cues. With the price point this bike is at, though, you can always buy add ons to make it do what you need and still be saving money compared to what you’d be spending on a Peloton bike so it’d be no big deal to buy a Wahoo etc. In that regard, two add ons I’ve made to the bike to make it work in a better capacity for me are clip in pedals and a slimmer saddle. I‘d link the pedals but I can’t find them on amazon anymore. The saddle can be found here and has made a world of difference - the saddle this bike comes with will just get in the way of your down stroke:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B083FP1PF5Definitely worth the money - I wish I had ordered it in March instead of waiting until May!

Get this bike to sweat.I bought this bike so it would motivate me to workout especially when the weather outside is cold. It was easy to put together and easy to use. It was a good buy compared to the other exercise bikes I was looking at. The bike looks like the photo and I love how shiny it is.It it made out of sturdy material. The only noise that it makes is when I am cycling, when the level is raised for a more difficult ride, there is a little sound that comes from the soft material on the wheel. I put some coconut oil on the wheel to make less noise as the wheel turns on the the soft material.

3 Things:1. I bought this bike through the JLL Warehouse because I was able to get it cheaper. At first I was disappointed and was set to return the bike and buy new as the handle bar insert frame at the top was bent and it was missing bolts and also had wrong bolts that came with the bike. However, my husband was able to fix the dent enough to assemble the handle bars and bought new screws.2. I would like to add that service is top notch and they were quick to send someone to pick it up. Please note, if you ever have to do this with a large item, you need to keep the box intact as much as possible so you can send it back easier, although will tell you, you can put it in anything, this bike weighs a lot and you have to disassemble so it would have been a pain.3. This bike works great! It is very quiet, until you use the tension, depending on setting it makes a very quiet whooshing metal sound (think of pots and pans running in the dishwasher sound) not bothersome at all. the 40 pound fly wheel keeps the bike steady without moving and I don't have a pad under it, just laminate flooring. I am 130 and H is 220 and both of us do fine. I wanted something for first time biking that will get me to my goals and help me decide on further bikes if I stick with it! :)I cannot give it five stars because I have not used it extensively for more than 1 week. I will update after a month or so.

This is my first spin bike that I've used to take a class (with Peloton app) besides the Keiser at my OTF gym that I have used from time to time to modify. My price point was not very high, as I was purchasing to supplement while my gym was closed. I wavered between this version and the 'pro' without the monitor. I ended up with this one because of the monitor (which turned out to be useless) and because it was slightly sleeker and nicer looking, in my opinion.It is pretty intuitive to use, and although you can't know for sure if you're at the resistance being recommended, if you're used to working out or doing interval work, you can feel for yourself when you're at a comfortable or hard effort. I just use that as my gauge, along with amount of 'turns' of the knob in my head to match what I think the instructor is expecting. Other than the resistance being a guessing game, the bike is very smooth and comfortable to use. It is sturdy and heavy and with everything tightened there is no wobble in the handle bars or seat. Unfortunately I have to have mine on a mat on carpet and the whole bike itself wobbles very slightly during out of saddle climbs (with the feet on or off). I hardly even notice it any more, and it has not impacted my experience in a significant way. I have never used clip in pedals and shoes, but I see the advantage and anticipate I will upgrade I the future. It has a small 'shelf' that holds my iPad perfectly-- this is not a feature that I noticed or expected when comparing. It has worked great for me and saved me from having to buy a separate holder. The monitor that my bike came with is wildly inaccurate, and I will look to contact the company about that, but it serves little purpose for me anyway. The monitor can come off, but then there is a useless piece of metal that it attaches to.In all, I am happy with my purchase at the price point I was willing to spend. I would recommend this bike to someone not looking to spend a lot of money. One thing that I would spend more for in the future is the magnetic resistance. If you have the means to spend more for that feature, I would say go for it.

This bike is really a good value for the price. I will state that one right off the bat. I am not a high energy cyclist but wanted a bike that I could use for general exercise and also to do some at home spin classes. I have not gone back to the gym during the pandemic. This fits the bill. It is well built, heavy enough to sustain me throughout a class ( I am 5'7" and about 140). I can sit and stand on the bike with ease during a workout. The resistance is more than enough for me to get a good workout. It is quiet and was easy to assemble. It came extremely well packaged. No damage to the box or to the bike.I did buy a mat to place under the bike as I have LVP flooring in my exercise room and did not want to chance damaging the floor.There are a couple of things that I would like to change. The bike seat is not at all comfortable for me even with a gel seat applied on top. I will change out the seat for sure. Also the monitor although it works well, is difficult for me to read. It is small, not well lit and scrolls through the various parameters. I may upgrade that also. You can use this bike with cycling classes that you can find on line.I have only used this for about a week but am pleased so far.

So I was between a few different Sunny Models for a spin bike. I've had the bike for about 1 week now, and have used it twice.First, the shipping is amazing. It was pretty much overnighted to me. I was very excited to try this out, but the box is heavy! Just under 100 lbs.Unboxes was easy, but there was a hole in the box (side dent), after inspecting the contents, nothing was harmed.Sliding out the box, the bike is broken down in a few pieces, but the main piece, with the flywheel and frame, is the heaviest piece.If you're moving the bike somewhere (through floors or something), carry it piece by piece.Assembling was easy. All tools and instructions were clear, and I got it done with my dad in under 30 minutes.Using the bike:First, there were some stability problems with this bike. I've used plenty at gyms, but this one has two wobbles. The handlebars are a bit shaky because the slider portion doesn't hold the bars tight.The seat is also a bit wobbley when I was riding.Doing my jumps, I felt the bike shift a bit. I readjusted so the bike was even, but it felt slightly unstable on the harder ride.However, the great things about this bike:It's quiet. Belt drive is like a little swishing sound and that's all.The seat isn't terrible, but it's definitely nicer on my butt than the ones in the gym.It's solid/heavy wheel is really nice. Gives a smooth ride.The little tracker is a nice addition. Tracks everything pretty accurately. (Compared the calorie burn to my FitBit HR and they were only a few cals off). The distance might be overstepping, but that isn't important to me.Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. I do wish it felt more stable, but I think with some tweaking, it should be fine.Gives me a great workout, the front wheels let me move it easily, and it was a lot cheaper than the couple extra hundred on top of this one some others cost.

My husband and I have ridden this bike about 15 times total -- so take what you may from this:Both of us are heavier, but the bike feels relatively sturdy. It only gets shaky when I am jogging out of the saddle at a cadence of 70 or higher. Obviously, putting heavier resistance helps with this. I also put my hand weights at the base and that adds an extra 10 pounds. Either way, I've taken off a star for that.Also removing a star for noise. Just as other reviewers state -- there is a strange whistling when you crank the resistance up. I do Peloton on this bike and whenever I get to around 50% resistance (or my version of it), it starts to whistle. It's not deafening but it is annoying. I can live with it, but if you're noise-sensitive or trying to work out with a sleeping baby nearby, you may want to be careful.My other biggest complaint is the seat. It was the worst part to assemble. In fact, it came completely apart when we accidentally dropped it out of the package. We put it together again, but it will not stay put. We have tightened the bolts, changed the hardware, and even had a professional handyman take a look at it, but it will not stay. Again, I can live with this given the price we paid for the bike and our budget, but you may not be able to.As for comfort, I'm 4' 11" and I am able to use this bike, but I wish the handlebars moved in and out instead of just up and down. It would be more comfortable and I could have better form if it adjusted by about 3 or 4 inches inwards. My husband is 5' 9" and is perfectly fine using this bike.Overall, I'd give this bike a solid B. It's a good buy, but don't expect the bike quality you get at your gym or studio. It's great if you're a beginner or on a budget as I am able to save thousands on doing Peloton with just this bike and the Wahoo sensor (plus an Amazon firestick-equipped tv). For that, I'm willing to live with the imperfections.

Works well, feels sturdy and safe to use. Seat is horrible, had to order a replacement seat.

I was an avid spinner and took classes at my gym until they suddenly shut down on me. I need my daily cardio, and running on pavement everyday is really too much for my joints so I figured I'd just buy my own spin bike. Unlike ellipticals and treadmills, spin bikes don't require extra electricity (my house doesn't have much more wattage power to spare), and don't require huge amounts of space. They are also low impact (great for joints) and run much more quietly than other cardio machines.I was going to buy the chain drive bike for a slightly cheaper price until last minute I saw someone's Youtube video of them actually riding a Sunny brand chain drive. I could hear the sound of the chain going, which wasn't excessively noisy, but it bothered me enough to change my mind last minute to buy the belt drive model instead, which I've heard is much quieter. I'm glad I did. There is no sound at all except for a slight whooshing sound, from the brake pad rubbing against the wheel. It's very quiet and doesn't bother me at all since it's not a mechanical sound, more of just like a.... natural wind-kind of sound. The ride feels extremely smooth, both during low-resistance sprints, and during very high resistance climbs. I also like the idea of the belt drive over the chain drive because I don't want to have to keep oiling the chain/conditioning it over time since I believe chains require maintenance.Assembly is surprisingly simple. It took me and my dad less than an hour to put it together, and I probably didn't even need his help (he mostly just helped with carrying the heavy part from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor). All necessary tools are conveniently included. Most of the bike is already pre-assembled and seems pretty sturdy, considering this price range. The resistance knob allows you to add/remove resistance gradually. I've had issues with spin bikes at gyms where I'd turn the knob 1/8th of a turn, and it'd go suddenly from an easy downhill ride to an impossible climb straight away, instead of a gradual slow increase. I'm typically used to riding in a more narrow seat and was surprised at how wide this seat was. Some people may find this more comfortable, but I did not. I guess I have a narrow hip width (?) because the width of the seat is too fat for me and caused me chafing in the inner thighs, right by the groin area. I tried to move the seat as far back as I could, so I'd be seated on the most narrow portion of the seat (to reduce it rubbing against my inner thigh-groin area) but the knotches/shape of the metal bar didn't let me push it back any further. My solution to this was just to take the metal bar out, and re-insert it backwards (shown in my photo) so I could push the seat back an extra 1-2 inches. This repositioning still allows me to screw the knob into the latch/hole, so it's locked in for safety. Felt much more comfortable.The computer/clock was not an important factor to me but it was nice to have the timer on hand for intervals, and it conveniently came with its own batteries so I gave it a go. I did 1 ride for about 60 minutes and it worked great. The next day it wouldn't turn on at all. I assume this computer is not waterproof, and perhaps my pouring sweat broke the machine. I wish it had come with some sort of not-waterproof warning so I couldve covered it with something... :( The handle bars are shaped in a way so if you have an ipad, you can lean it there and watch things. I only have an iphone, which i put in a small ziplock bag (to protect from my sweat) and take a rubber band and attach it to the middle handlebars and watch spin videos as i ride. Perfect!Overall I really like this bike and would definitely recommend to others looking for a simple spin bike in this price range. You can do all the traditional spin class moves on it, it is very very quiet (no rattling, no mechanical sounds, and more quiet than the chain drive models), very smooth-feeling ride, assembly is pretty simple. If the computer/clock is important to you, beware--it's not waterproof so keep it dry.UPDATE (4-5 MONTHS LATER):The bike still serves it's function well, which is to give me a good workout and the resistance/brake/pedals all still work fine. Nothing has broken or fallen apart on me. (I use the bike about 5-7 hours total/per week, moderate-heavy resistance) However I didn't realize that all my sweating over it would cause many of the screws all over the bike, and various other exposed metal parts to start rusting. I tried to oil those rusted parts with "3-in-1 multpurpose oil" to prevent further damage but the bike seems to need constant greasing. (if anyone can suggest something better, feel free to comment) Also, my bike has started to squawk. The type of noise varies. Sometimes it happens only when i use very heavy resistance and it's literally a very loud deep SQUAWWWK. Sometimes it's a lighter-sounding SQUEEK. Sometimes it happens only on the left pedal stroke. Sometimes only on the right stroke. I d...

I use this bike for cardio training. It is very sturdy as i am 230 pounds. The digital display shows Calories burned, Speed, Distance traveled, RPM's, Heart Rate and overall time. Water bottle holder and a tablet/ phone stand help you stay motivated.

Something great about getting home at a dark 5pm while it is snowing to build and then hop on for 15mile ride. This is my new weekday after work workout routine and the progress is already starting to show around my diaphragm (core).Pros: love the mileage reader and spot for my phone. I have Hulu shows going on a television with a international virtual bike route on YouTube playing on stand and I am going. It has allowed me to bypass the gym and get the rings on my Apple Watch every days. 15miles/day for 5days is my average that I hope to keep up for quite some timeConsYou will have to buy a cushion to go over the seat. There was a learning curve to the fit but after the first week it warms up to it. I just know the seat will be comfier with more padding. ($12-$35+ wide)Not a con but this bike also moves well with a yoga mat underneath. I am only pivoting it towards tv when in use and it has held up well.Beats going to the gym in covid and I can catch up on tv series’

Have been using this bike for a few weeks now. Was easy to assemble, works great, not noisy at all. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the seat is not good material - hard as a rock and moves a lot, not comfortable at all. Other than that, the bike is great. The digital meter has been working great so far.

Given that gyms around me have been closed for a year because of the pandemic, I decided I needed something to get my body moving especially in the winter. But having a bike in my home isn’t necessarily something I see long term, so I didn’t want to spend thousands on one. I did quite a bit of research and kept getting pointed in this direction.I was able to assemble the bike entirely by myself, although you’ll want to give yourself at least an hour and a lot of space to do so. And I’ve been able to easily move it around the home as needed.I have the wahoo cadence monitor to sync with the Peloton app, and I bought the silicon WD-40 to keep everything maintained and non-squeaky, as the instructions recommend. The only downsides are the seat isn’t as comfortable as I would like, but I’m used to some soreness from cycling so that’s not a big deal. The seat is also a little squeakier than I would like.But all around, so glad I purchased. Especially given that gyms aren’t opening up anytime soon.

After much research, I purchased this Sunny spin bike because of all the positive reviews. After two months of use, I feel confident in giving it 5 stars. It was easy to assemble--neither my husband nor I are handy--we easily followed the instructions and had it up and running in no time. I have the bike on an area rug and did not purchase the mat--no need for the mat. As others have stated, the seat is hard--but most spin bikes have hard seats and I have no plan to swap the seat out. I will swap out the pedals, and haven't done it yet only because the Shimano spd pedals have been out of stock everywhere --thank you Covid. I use the monitor only to track my pace/rpm. My fitbit tracks my heart rate, so I don't need to use the slow pulse reader on the bike. The only con is that the resistance knob--with no markers, it's a little difficult to know the true resistance. This is something I can live with though. My tablet is super secure and has not slipped once. Overall, a great bike.

I have been looking for a spin bike that I can stand up on and was able to snag this one on Cyber Monday. Assembly instructions are written in normal English and easy to follow. This unit is heavy which is great for stability and quality of workout. I saw a few reviews about the noise on some units, but my bike is super quiet. Finaly have been getting gym level workouts at home, so I highly recommend it.The only thing I am going to change is switch out the original pedals for click-in ones. I am sure more expensive units come with those, but I don't mind spending $24 on a set of pedals after getting this bike for such a steal.
