A huge problem with spending $400 is the build quality of the bike. I went down this exact same route last December. I bought the same Sunny bike in the link, an Apple Watch, a Wahoo cadence sensor, and an entry-level iPad. The Sunny bike broke after 3.5 months of regular usage, right at the start of Covid quarantine. I ended up replacing it with a high quality ~$2k Keiser M3i. The Keiser has been great the last 7 months.
- postpawl 6y agoI’ve got the belt drive one with the leather pad for resistance (SF-B1002) and haven’t had any issues. I’ve been impressed that it feels like an average spin bike you’d find at a gym (for $400!). Did you have the magnetic version?
- clintboxe 6y agoThis is the same bike I had. The drive belt eventually frayed/snapped. Sunny customer support was terrible and I got way more help trying to fix it on a Sunny owners Facebook group.
- cheeze 6y agoI've had the slightly nicer model of Sunny (with magnetic resistance) and it's been great. I'm ~200 and do a lot of standing riding and haven't noticed any issues. I've only had it for ~3 months so maybe a few weeks down the road I'll have issues
