RIF6 You Broke My Heart.

RIF6 - You broke my heart. This is my first and only Best Buy review.Bike came yesterday. Was so excited to do some cardio at home. Waiting all week for this apparatus to arrive. It did. It was very heavy, but that meant it was substantial. Took about a hour to put the thing together, very easy except for its overall wieght. Here is your first clue RIF6 has not idea what's going on. Listing says 40 pounds. Then they claim the flywheel itself is 35 pounds. The entire bike is probably somewhere around 100 - 140 poundsAnyways, put the Bike together. Looked beautiful. Was super pumped up. Jumped on and started peddling. Disaster struck. The pedals are barely in tune with the wheel. It makes a terrible sound. Absolutely no resistance what so ever. I could not believe it was this bad. Honestly I would never have believed a company could manufacture a bike this poorly.Figured I had to have something wrong, so looked at the RIF6 packaging (which is awesome by the way) and website. I guess RIF6 makes office desks and chairs, look for yourself. Probably started making bikes during the pandemic. They should definitely stop.As far as I can tell the frame/flywheel has somehow been bent or warped. Regardless, even if it wasn't, this thing would not work. The resistance is just not suitable to be called an exercise bike, much less a spinning bike. For a spin bike to be a spin bike, you have to be able to "hill climb". Basically this company has manufactured a beautiful metal works that can sit in your house and look like a spin bike.For anyone that works out, Im warning you- This is not a spin bike. Do not buy this thing. If you are content with sitting on a exercise bike and moving your feet around pedals with no resistance to pretend you are working out, then this is the perfect solution for you.Immediately requested a refund, which Best Buy processed and said I could keep the bike.except I don't want it because its not a spin bike and doesn't work. I will probably leave it outside with a free note on it. Dreading carrying 140 pounds of a mess down my apartment steps. Tried ordering a Sunny Bike, will see how that goes. Otherwise I will get a rowing machine. Fellow workout people, you have been warned.**Edit October 1st.* Ordered A Sunny BF1002. Which came today. Not as pretty as the RIF6, but it’s 100X better in functionality. It’s an actual spin bike without the bells and whistles. Left the RIF6 outside at the dumpster yesterday and some poor sap took it.As a fitness aficionado, I’m calling you out RIF6. You are producing a scam product and selling it to fitness newbs that don’t know any better. Best Buy why are you sponsoring this? DO NOT BUY THIS.
