What We Liked?
Having in mind that the Stryde bike aims to provide full exercise and workout support from the comfort of your home, it provides access to various fitness classes and independent instructors which you can learn from.
These fitness classes are rumored to give you the best experience for your money’s worth, and you can be sure of getting the best instructors that can guide you on how to effectively use the Stryde bike.
We also fancy the general idea of an in-use tablet while cycling. It gives off that beautiful feeling of how important the bike is!
The fact that the tablet has also been unlocked to be used for other functions apart from the Stryde app is something to look forward to. You can watch your favorite videos and shows, even while you are cycling. Talk about comfort from home!
You can record your progress in real-time and take track of how much improvement you’re making. Having an option for two pedal combinations makes accessibility top-notch.
Though not too important, the water bottle holders under the handlebars are an added advantage if you ever feel dehydrated. You can attach two separate water bottles for use anytime you need them.
What We Didn’t Like ?
We found it difficult to install third-party applications on the tablet as there was no ready access to a play store that could help install applications.
The wheel most times gives off a very squeaky sound when it is in use, especially when the bike is really fired up!
We also weren’t able to adjust the handlebars to fit a rider’s desired position, which is unwelcoming at best. Some of the practice sessions and videos were not satisfactory enough to learn from.
The bike speakers usually give off a low sound if used without any wired headphone or Bluetooth headsets. You can barely hear what is being said, and have to listen attentively so as not to miss any important information.
The Stryde bike will require connecting online like any kind of internet connected bike to get the most out of the biking experience.
There is also a limited time for the warranty to have effect as it comes with a 12-month warranty period.
