MB550 Indoor Cycle

In love with my bike! The whole process was extremely positive for me, from an attentive and friendly customer service experience to setup. It took a few hours to setup, but with the help of customer service I was able to get up and running (or should I say biking). I had no noise issues with my bike and it feels very sturdy.

I would give this bike more stars if it wasn’t for the noise. I’m not sure if I just didn’t tighten the screws right or if I got a defective one, but whenever I workout the bike creaks. It’s not horribly distracting, but a little annoying and takes away from all the other good features of the bike.

The bike itself seems very solid, and it was easy to put together. I put it together with the help of my 11 year old. It operates pretty smoothly. The only complaint I have is about the computer and the instructions for setting the odometer and wheel size. Setting up the time and inputting my stats was easy, but setting up the odometer and the wheel size makes zero sense. No where in the instructions does it explain which of the two wheel sizes you should choose or why you would choose one over the other. Also, It says to set the odometer to 4330mm, but the display doesn't stay on odometer to do so when I press set, and no where in the illustrations does it show how the computer should look as your setting the odometer to 4330mm. You can also set the wheel size from anywhere from 100mm to 6999mm, but it doesn't show you or explain where or how to do that, and it doesn't make sense if I can press a button on the back to choose a wheel size, which again, I don't know why I would choose one over the other. I'm thinking I should just throw this thing out and get a Wahoo sensor for speed. I don't think this will be accurate. This is very frustrating and disappointing.

Bought this to help with foot surgery as our treadmill and elliptical are not the thing. My husband and our 15-year old son are already using and have pronounced it solid and a good workout. Our trainer came by for a look (she was a spinning instructor for years) and complimented its quality.

The weather here (HOT IN SUMMER, COLD IN WINTER- FOR ME, transplanted from California) made me reluctant to get physical outside the past couple of years, the bike is perfect, I’ve put it in the bedroom, it’s small enough to fit without a problem with a big recliner and queen size bed, still plenty of room. I am using the bike several times a day until the pain stops me, working up from really out of shape, am hoping by Spring my legs will look like they did when we moved here in 2004.

I purchase my cycle 3 years ago and use it 3 times a week alternating with other exercises and love it!!!

It’s a solid piece of equipment. Heavy wheel makes for smooth pedaling; wide base makes it very steady. Strong, sturdy construction. For those wanting more electronics, input I believe they went a little “light” on the console…it is small, maybe not so easy to read or use. But not a big deal.
