TailHappyTV post: tailhappytv.com/pooboo-indoor-...
This is my opinion of the PooBoo bike. I don't think I'm going to be able to buy this pooboo indoor cycle, but I know many of you have asked for me to do a pooboo review so I thought I would at least look at it and compare it's features to many other similar bikes I have reviewed.
First thoughts are this PooBoo indoor cycle is basically the base “bones” as the yosuda bike - which I did buy and review that bike thoroughly:
My YOSUDA bike review: • YOSUDA indoor cycling ...
my Yosuda unboxing and first impressions: • Yosuda Bike - My HONES...
Yosuda vs Peloton: • Peloton vs $330 Yosuda...
The PooBoo has one notable difference in comparison to the Yosuda and that's the pulse sensors on the handlebars. The Sunny 1709 I reviewed had these same style pulse sensors - they worked but I did not trust them as much as my Scosche Rhythm+ armband heart rate monitor.
Sunny 1709 review: • Sunny SF-B1709 REVIEW ...
Scosche Rhythm+ HRM video: • Scosche Rhythm+ Heart ...
This PooBoo bike is a friction resistance bike which isn't as smooth as magnetic resistance, I did comment a lot more about the differences between friction and magnetic in this video I believe: • Sunny SF-B1002 vs Sunn... (friction vs magnetic resistance)
Other bikes similar in price to the PooBoo that I did review and mention in this video are the:
Cyclace bike - • CYCLACE Exercise Bike ... (better than yosuda in my opinion)
Joroto X1s - • The Joroto X1S "Update... (has cadence)
Echelon EX-15 - • Echelon Connect Bike R... (super popular)
Joroto X2 - • Joroto X2 Review - Unb... (good value)
Sunny sf-b1002 - • Sunny Bike SB1002 - a ... (BEAST mode flywheel)
A roundup of $500 bikes video: • BEST indoor cycling bi...
My bottom line on the PooBoo is this bike is an entry level peloton alternative that can definitely get the job done. It's a good way to buy an inexpensive bike and try out indoor cycling at a much lower price than a peloton or other high end models, and there is no platform commitment aka a recurring monthly fee for cycling classes. You can use peloton digital app or other platforms like apple fitness+ and see what you like. If you really like the PooBoo bike and enjoy indoor cycling you'll probably get the itch to upgrade to a higher end bike down the proverbial road.
Probably the most important thing you can do is take action and buy a bike and get it in your home and start using it so you don't let too much time pass by because everyday you wait to buy is another day you could have been making progress toward your goals. That being said I do have a few videos linked above to help you better understand the differences between bikes and help you make a decision. That being said I want you to know my channel is 100% viewer supported, I have no sponsors and I give you unbiased and honest product reviews and recommendations. I post my amazon associate links in this section so if you want to help support my channel at no additional cost to, you can click the links in this description box and if you make a qualifying purchase I may earn a small commission.

I've surrendered to the fact I'm (probably) not going to be able to BUY every indoor bike ever made, so I decided to analyze, compare, and share my thoughts on the PooBoo bike using my experience with similar bikes to help anyone looking to get this bike better understand what you can expect. Let me know if you'd like to see a video of this style on another bike I haven't reviewed yet. Thanks for watching, see you soon!

We have this bike and have no complaints. Ours is the new March 2022 upgrade. We live in Japan and this bike cost us the equivalent of 189.00 USD. Living on a budget an expensive bike wasn’t an option. So if you are not a professional cyclist and just want to have something to keep in shape this is a great bike- been a great bike for our use -we are in our 60’s and use it to stay in shape. The sales rep was very helpful as well. We have the magnetic version- 35.5 lbs flywheel. We added an rpm sensor so we can join online classes that focus on rpm. It’s very quiet- we don’t have any issues with it being noisy. Ours was well built. No issues.

At the turn of the new year, I bought the PooBoo model you’re talking about in the video, and I pair it with Apple Fitness plus. I was brand new to cycling, and I feel, like you said, and I’ve enjoyed it as a brand new rider. Some things I noticed: -The seat hurt my rear end, but I came to find that this is a common occurrence for any new rider with pretty much any seat, so I can’t give an honest opinion on the seat. -I is frustrating not knowing what resistance you’re on, and there are times where my resistance knob will stick and jam. Additionally, I feel the the resistance is inconsistent from turn to turn of the knob. Finally, at higher resistances, the pedaling can become very choppy and sometimes will slip (could be form-related on my part) especially when out of the saddle. -It does feel cheap, but it gets the job done at this point, then again, what can you expect from one of the cheapest spin bikes around? -I’ve owned it for a couple months and I’m already ready to replace it, so any suggestions for a bike would be awesome. I do really dig Apple Fitness +. Cool vids. Keep up the good work.

This is my review: I received the bike in early January, and right off the bat I had an issue- no instruction manual in the box. After an hour of scouring the internet (bc the Pooboo website did not have a digital version of the instructions on it) I finally found a KZfaq video of someone putting their bike together. After that everything seemed fine for awhile, then about two months later I noticed the resistance knob started to stick quite a bit and the brake pad was producing a ton of white powder which was annoying (and I should have just returned it then... but that just seemed like a lot of work to disassemble and Box up all of the parts). Yesterday, exactly 10 days after a my 3 month return window closed, mid workout my left pedal completely snapped off. This was not only terrifying, but also extremely painful. I was in the middle of a climb out of the saddle (basically standing on the pedals, not sitting on the seat) when it happened- so my right foot was still strapped into the bike and the wheel was spinning pretty fast as my left foot (attached to the pedal) fell to the ground. This twisted my knee pretty bad which seems to be getting more painful by the minute. At first I thought “you get what you pay for” and wasn’t going to post a review- but this bike cost over $300 and I weigh roughly half of the suggested weight limit- so I felt obligated to let people know that this bike is a health hazard- and I imagine if you weigh even close to the 300lb weight limit the pedals could fail even faster.

I was looking at the y8 which is actually a rear wheel that looks a lot like a upright bike rather than an indoor or spinning bike but apparently you can still stand on it as long as you're under 280 lb. But what confuses me is the way they label their flywheels I'm not sure if it's normal cuz I'm new at this I'm literally just now trying to buy my first bike but I'm spoiled for choice. It's a 13 something pound flywheel that they're labeling is being 35 lb because of the magnetic resistance is that how they all label them is that why they're different labels depending on what you're looking at

What bike would be best recommended for beginners who want to invest in one but be able to use for long term cycling. Preferably one with cadence if not thats fine. But also budget friendly in other words less than $500. But in terms of quality also!

I'm 5'1 and I'm looking for a great updated bike that feels comfortable, because I will not stick around if it's not comfortable. The problem is that I find contradictory information about measurements and height... and some reviews make me more confused. Hard to buy something without testing several models before purchasing.

basically the stiffer the sole the better - better power transfer to the pedal and less wasted energy into a squishy sole

I can save you some time. I had the Chaoke bike from Amazon and was very disappointed. Terrible lack of resistance and didn't feel solid. I currently have the Py High S7 which I love, but a clunking sound has developed in the right crank shaft of the pedal and I am waiting for tools and part from company to fix. Why can't a simple spin bike machine exist that will last without break downs and noise??? So frustrating. Good luck! :)

In the post you have "PooBoo Indoor Cycling Bike Review".... You should drop the "Review" part to "My Thoughts" or something else because in order to review a product you have to have used one. I'm one of the ones who asked you to start a site with all the comparisons and TailHappy scores a while back. Please don't do what a lot of idiot's do on KZfaq which is trying to review products they never even used all for the sake of Amazon affiliate links. I know you aren't one of these sad channels so please don't start now

Minus well don't do a review on any of these bikes because everybody knows that a $1000 bike or $2000 bike is better than $ 3000 bike .So for You to do a video on a $300 bike makes no sense because you never gonna be nothing positive for them.
