   Well worth the investment, user friendly, easy and challenging all in one
   WOW! let me start with I would have given this a 4 1/2 stars but…wanted to let you know this is a 5 star bike! My reason for 4 1/2 stars…the power attachment is on the lower left of bike is on the floor.. I have this in my garage and tripped over the power cord several times…So I used zip ties-re routed power to below seat and then used a one plug extension cord to plug in on garage ceiling…Now the bike.. I had a felt resistance bike for 5 years and that felt wore out and I decided I wanted to upgrade. So I researched and thought “Pelton” and other bikes with “attached”screens, However most bikes stated “warranty void if used in garage/or outside” as I would understand because the delicate screen..I also determined IF I had a screen issue in the future I would have a useless bike…and I also determined those bike with attached screens can ONLY be used with THEIR purchased apps… I began an in-depth research into this bike and learned you CAN access “Pelton” (I know spelled incorrect) app at a reduced price than if you bought their bike! I think 12 buck or so compared to their 39 bucks..I also learned there are several other apps that this bike can access and run…(via bluetooth with a tablet..ipad) I had an ipad and thought the delicate screen-the ipad- can be removed when not in use. and I didn’t like the idea of “being locked” in to only 1 app-Pelton- only…I didn’t think I would like a person “motivating” me along the way…so after weeks of thought I bought this bike.. I assembled it..pretty easy…I tried it out and it was on level “30” initially after assemble. I thought to myself “oh boy…no resistance..this is too easy.. I may have made a mistake” Remember I had a felt resistance bike prior with no readout so I did not know that “level” of resistance… So I increased the resistance and was very happy to see this went up to 100……I of course set this to level 55 and went to town….that was brutal after 20 minutes! I ride 20 miles or more on my street bike in the summer 10 days a month, I rode my felt resistance bike for 5 years 15 times a month-sometimes less- so I’m not “out of shape” thinking this was hard at level 55….so I got my ipad out went to utube and found some concerts I wanted to watch…connected my ipad to my stereo and jammed out! I have not tried any “apps” yet..but will this fall when I’m concert out..most all apps have a free trial….What I like about this bike is the looks,the sturdy feel, the spot of a tablet, the fact it is magnetic resistance……what a difference from felt resistance…the magnetic resistance is constant and consistent…I like the read out info.. I like it came with a heart monitor…that sort of took some googling to see how to connect..you start the bike in awake mode…press the bluetooth button on the bike computer and then press and hold the heart monitor button several seconds until it flash’s pink..then start pedaling the bike..the heart flash’s and your connected! then press and hold to shut off monitor when finished. Many reviewers stated the pedal becomes loose and starts to “click” I bought a small tube of loctite at the car parts store and assembled the pedals with that on the threads and had no issues..I bought this bike In april 2021 and I have rode 15-20 miles 3 times a week and it is still fun! I have no issues or concerns! It comes with attachments for “cleats”? shoes… I used the cage wraps….I ride in my slippers….attached garage. the only other issue….while the handle bar is shaped nice and has a weird flat spot for you hands/which you will love..is I am gong to get padded bike gloves..the handle bar is the same consistency of a sprayed in truck liner…not bad, but adding foam or bike gloves will make it perfect. And…my felt resistant bike was chain driven…I thought that was quiet..this is belt driven….it is silent… although as you can see in my pics/vid that the noise level of this bike didn’t matter to me. I know there is no “one size fits all” but this met all my expectations and is a great workout for me.

   Fantastic Spinbike and a Great Value (IC4 Review)
   After reading dozens of reviews of the IC4 spinbike, I ordered one about a month ago. It was delivered by two guys (flatpacked) who brought the box into my home. Assembly was easy, took me maybe a half-hour (and that was taking my time).
   NOTE: I’m absolutely convinced that everyone having trouble with pedals coming loose on this bike doesn’t understand that the LEFT PEDAL SCREWS ON COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. I’m a lifelong cyclist so this was obvious to me—but clearly it isn’t to many people. If you try screwing the left pedal in clockwise, you’ll probably succeed—and strip the thread in the process! (Leading to the pedal coming out pretty quickly.) I screwed mine in correctly, going slow to be sure it was threaded properly, and have had ZERO issues with either pedal coming loose.
   My only very minor complaint with the bike was that the plastic guard covering the drivetrain creaked a bit…but a simple 1″ square of cardboard shoved between the plastic guard and the frame fixed that for good. Otherwise, the bike has been flawless. So has the heartrate monitor—worked perfectly the first time and has worked perfectly ever since.
   For the cost, the IC4 is a VASTLY better value than a Peloton bike or other more expensive spinbikes. I have no use for Peloton classes, so couldn’t possibly care less about how well it works for those (but I hear it works fairly well if you want to do that).
   For my workouts, I’ve been using the app called “Kinetic” on my iPad—this app syncs perfectly with both the heartrate monitor and the cadence sensor on the IC4. (So all I use the bike’s computer for is to monitor my power setting). The magnetic resistance on the IC4 is silky-smooth and feels great. The bike is quiet as a mouse.
   Finally, I was not a fan of the seat that comes with the IC4. It’s a well-made seat but too wide (in my opinion) if you’re a cyclist accustomed to narrower road bike seats (like me). Non-cyclists may not think so, but the narrower your seat, the more comfortable it is (I know, it’s counter-intuitive, but trust me on this!) This was an easy fix for me—I just replaced the seat with a narrower one I picked up at my local bike shop, easy-peasy.
   So if you’re considering a spinbike, I would absolutely NOT hesitate to buy the IC4 (and yes, it is definitely worth it to spend the extra few hundred bucks for the IC4’s magnetic resistance over the IC3’s felt pad resistance).

   Eu havia pesquisado bastante uma bike de Spinning . E essa marca foi eleita a melhor no quesito qualidade, ergonomia etc. Eu queria comprar a IC4 pela conectividade. Mas pensei melhor e resolvi investir na IC3 que é tão boa quanto e tem poucas diferenças que pra mim, valeu mais a pena pegar a ic3. Estava muito ansiosa e chegou antes do prazo. Faço questão de deixar meu depoimento aqui, estou muito satisfeita. Meu marido montou no mesmo dia em menos de uma hora e já usamos, nossaaa perfeita. Até o banco achei confortável em comparação a tantas bikes que já pedalei. Mas comprei uma capa acolchoada. Realmente a melhor bike ergonometrica. Eu sou alta 1,73 e amei. O preço é alto mas considere um investimento. Bem melhor que pagar barato em uma bike sem qualidade … E ficar frustrado depois. O que me ajudou bastante foi os comentários positivos dessa bike. E foi realmente a melhor escolha!

   I’ve had this bike for over a month now and am extremely happy with it. It’s well built, the levers for adjusting the seat and grab bars are great compared to the knobs that I’m used to a commercial studios. It is quiet and only hums a bit at higher resistance. Taking the advice of previous reviewers, I bought treadmill lubricant and applied it to the wheel/felt pad. That took care of any minor squeaking that started to happen at higher resistance levels.
   I use this bike with the Peloton app. The computer readout displays RPM (cadence) although the RPM information alternates with the speed (km/h) information so it’s a bit of a nuisance if you’re trying to follow RPM closely but the display is showing speed. Over time you’ll know the speed equivalence of RPM/cadence so it doesn’t bother me that the display doesn’t show RPM all the time. (ie: 35 km/h = approx 90 RPM, 25 km/h = approx 70 RPM) The Schwinn bike does not display resistance levels. One tip I have if you’re using the Peloton app is to go and try the Peloton bike at one of their showrooms. You’ll get a good feel for what a resistance level 20 / 40 / 60 feels like so you can adjust accordingly with the Schwinn bike based on feel. For me close enough is good enough. Peloton resistance levels are generally a range/guide and each person adjusts according to their comfort/ability anyways.
   The calorie information does not take into account resistance. It seems to only take into consideration time and distance. The bike does not come with a heart rate monitor despite the computer having a box that would show heart rate/pulse if you purchased a compatible remote heart rate monitor.
   If you use a large tablet (for the time being I use my iPhone) it can be difficult to grab the water bottle out of the water bottle holder since the tablet would be in the way. I would purchase a separate water bottle holder if I do use a tablet in the future.
   I have Specialized cycling shoes with shimano clips. They are perfectly compatible with the clips that come with the bike. No issues at all clipping in and out of the bike. I have taken off the cage straps as they kept slapping the pedal itself and making noise when pedaling with cycling shoes.
   Assembly was easy and straight forward. You’ll need two people – one person to hold/lift the bike up while the other person places the front and back base brackets in place. The box is also heavy and should be moved by two people.
   All in all, I love this bike. It solid and well built, looks great, quiet, feels great, rides smooth. This isn’t a Peloton bike but it does all the things that spinning bikes are supposed to do. If you’re looking for a cost effective alternative to Peloton bike or just a solid spinning bike for your home, I highly recommend this one.
