Review on ๐Ÿšด Sportneer Electromagnetic Smart Bike Trainer with Built-in Speed and Power Sensors, Automatic Resistance Adjustment, Indoor Cycling Stand Compatible with Zwift by Chris Moody

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good exercise bike but more efficient with 3rd party apps

Good - Easy to assemble - Can be folded for easy storage - Can be used with different size tires and wheels - Compatible with 3rd party bike training apps Poor. No native drag control app. Let me start on the bad side first. I contacted Sportneer support to find out how to control the resistance of the bike trainer as it is 'smart' and connects to my phone and uses electromagnetism to control the resistance. Your answer was not a third party. app, pedaling faster or slower increases the intensity of my workout. Basically, it's impossible to control the resistance without a third-party app that used to have a paid subscription. Without any of these applications, this treadmill can only be used for constant resistance pedaling. The simulator is very easy to assemble and use. There is no power switch, you simply attach the reel to the hoop, plug it into the power supply and connect it to your smartphone via a third-party app. The Zwift app gives you a 7-day trial, but the trainer comes with a free trial for the OneLap app that gives you more time than 7 days. During my testing, I used Zwift, which puts you in control of your pedaling resistance. , either manually or with available workouts in the app. In terms of noise level, according to the description, it is very low, but whether you run a thicker tire like on a MTB bike or a thinner road bike tire, the noise level is quite high in my opinion. Overall, it's still a good exercise bike that's easy to use, helps extend the life of your bike tires, works great with third-party paid apps, and gives you a great workout experience. at home when it is impossible to be outside when an outlet is nearby. If there's been a power outage or you don't want a paid subscription to third-party apps to get the most out of this exercise bike, then this isn't the bike for you.
