Sunny Health & Fitness Fan Bike Trainer With Digital Monitor

Very useful product for a full body workout !

I have always disliked stationary bikes. But this caught my eye because it combines pedaling with arm motion for a greater workout. I was looking at stationary bikes because (1) I am rehabbing from 4 ankle & lower leg fractures and I need something to break-up scar tissue in my ankle joint post-surgery; and (2) I’ve gained 30+ lbs since the initial injury and I need to burn calories.

This model seemed to have good reviews for the price, so I rolled the dice. Spoiler alert: I’m glad I bought it.

I’m 6’ 3” & am currently around 235 lbs. This bike fits me fine – plenty of leg room & plenty of height. I like the fact it isn’t motorized & resistance is created through a belt-driven [front wheel] fan. Also, no motor means no AC adapter hence no cord and no need to place this near an electrical outlet. Though I feel a bit like a hamster, it’s actually not as easy to “spin/pedal” as one would think – it’s a good workout especially if you incorporate some sprints. And the fact it doesn’t have a motor is one less thing to worry about wearing out (a belt can be replaced if it breaks). And believe it or not, I like the air movement created by the fan – it’s keeps it fresh and a bit cooler.

Two other pluses: (1) it has an extremely small footprint. Though the measurements are in the item description, I was skeptical – I thought the elliptical-like handlebars would give the unit a bulky feel. I was wrong, it’s really not obtrusive in the least. (2) The other plus: it’s lightweight. Even when assembled, if I ever decide to move it up (or down) stairs, my wife and I can easily transport it on the stairs.

Assembly wasn’t too, too bad. Most of the hardware is already attached to the unassembled components (this makes it VERY easy to ID the hardware as the cardboard hardware card only has ~ 8 bolts). I will say that the included assembly tools, notably the “spanner wrench”, are barely adequate at best. If you have a metric wrench set or a combination wrench & a metric socket set, you’re better off using your own tools to attach the pedals (I tried using the included tools and this was the most time-consuming assembly step until I decided to use my own tools). Besides the front & bottom support/stand, just about everything else is tightened with an allen wrench (the display has four phillips head screws). Oh, one more thing – though the instructions recommend a 2-person assembly, one person can accomplish it. Though not perfect, I have definitely dealt with worse assembly instructions (I give these a B-).

One must acknowledge, this is an *entry-level* exercise bike. The materials and construction are fine, but it’s nowhere near commercial quality or even that of a high-end exercise bike. And it cannot be this level of quality at this price point! The “screen” is basic and not really a screen – it is barebones (a digital number readout display) & not backlit (the photo is misleading – the colorful target heart rate graphic is a *decal* – it’s not a screen and there is no heart rate monitor which might exclude some from considering it). And there is no programming … no preset exercise routines b/c this doesn’t have a motor (remember – it’s belt-driven). But as I previously mentioned, you can incorporate sprints if/when you choose to.

In summary: if you desire a basic, entry-level exercise bike – this is decent quality and a step above the cheaply made sub-$200 models. It’s a good starter exercise bike, and it’s good for someone who doesn’t know how much they’ll use an exercise bike so it’s good to try this before you drop the big buck$. For me, I bought this for rehabbing an injury and to burn some calories while I’m healing. However, I like it enough that I plan to keep using it and incorporating this into my regular exercise regimen. At this price point: you can’t go wrong.

التركيب غير سلس وبعض المسامير صعب جدا ربطها، حامل التابلت لا يحمل يحمل التابلت الخاص بي.
الايجابية الوحيدة انه يسوي الي عليه

So far, this bike is great. It was a little sticky to put together, literally, watch the pedals, but pretty straight forward to assemble. The left pedal is left handed torque, so what you normally would do to loosen or tighten is opposite what you think and can be frustrating. The second place that was sticky is when taking the seat post out of the main frame to make it taller. Put some muscle in this. It wants to stick. Also, the nut tightener/screw driver is best for tightening the nuts there. Figured that out after a while.
The bike itself is sturdy enough, light weight and will do the job. I am looking forward to more exercise with this incorporated!

Edit: I love the bike, love it. It’s light-weight and perfect for where and how I used it: in the garage for in between sets sprints. Make sure to tighten the bolts at the bottom tight so it feels more secure, and learn how to use the modes on the screen for optimal performance. I have ridden two other brands of air-bikes and I really enjoy the price and the weight of this bike. It’s so easy to move around for use and storage. Perfect, perfect find.

Just recently purchased and assembled the Sunny Zephyr Air Bike for my daughter. For the price, this is an excellent piece of equipment. It is well made and easy to assemble. While not super heavy duty, it can support up to a 240 pound individual. For the average individual, it is more than adequate for what it is intended to be used for. With the exception of the fan noise that is produced when using the bike, it is very smooth and quiet in its operation. There is no chain noise or rattling as mentioned in other similiar products that I read about when shopping and reading the reviews. The seat is padded very well and should not be a problem for most people. It is also easily adjustable. When tightened down, there is also no wobble in the handle bars. They have a solid feel and are well cushioned. The metal cage surrounding the fan is very well made. The bike can also be easily leveled and kept from wobbling by turning the end caps on the rear stabilizer. My only complaint is not with the bike as much as it is with the instructions. For the most part, the instructions are fine but the diagrams should be larger. A magnifying glass is needed sometimes so you can see clearly what needs to be done. This was a bit of an irritation when installing the foot pedals and trying to see exactly which way the bearing was to be installed. It is in there but it is very difficult to see. I found the written instructions to be of little help in this step. Everything else in the instructions is fine. Make sure that when you install the computer post to the frame that you pull the wires back up into the post from the top so you don’t smash the wire onto the frame when you install the post. All in all, this is an excellent piece of equipment. If you are looking for a good excercise bike, you will not be disappointed in this product. Btw, I don’t normally do reviews but I was so impressed with the Sunny bike, that I wanted to say something about it as there are not many other reviews.
