Best Spinning bike for home

average_runner

So my wife wants a spinning bike for home. So looking for some advice. She asked me for some reason!!!!

What spinning bikes would you recommend for her ? Is it easy to connect a standard spinning bike to a virtual reality app for a training session? I might be interested in it then

Budget is probably 500-700 euro.

Thanks

ultimate bike is a Wattbike but out of your price range.

you could always buy a gym spin bike like this: https://www.donedeal.ie/gymequipment-for-sale/spin-bike-clearance/16609587

and stick a set of garmin Vector pedals on it if the crank arms will take a normal pedal: https://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;product=129761;menu=1000,4,136,33

Boom... with power and heart rate you can use Zwift / Trainerroad/ Sufferfest!

I've had my eye on this one, if i get around to affording it. About 400 above your budget but it looks the business

I don't think I can convince her to go for that, though I like it!

K leisure recently upgraded all of their gyms and are selling off their old spin bikes etc. It might be worth contacting them to see if they have any left.

I got a spinning bike at home and I've used it about 3 times - I find it mind numbingly boring when not in a class. I'm considering replacing it with a smart trainer and using Zwift, but as I'm not convinced by that either for the moment I'm just getting out on the road whenever at all possible, mainly through taking the long way home from work

Haven't tried zwift, but really find TrainerRoad good for giving a purpose to the turbo. Before that, I tried following written plans, youtube spin classes, but find following a plan is great for motivation!

What did you go with in the end average_runner?

In the exact same situation at moment: €500 - €700 range for spinning.

Looking at this noridc track 7.0 but unsure if it's any good, good brand, etc...
Basically dont have a clue about bikes!
