[@sutic.c]

I have the keiser m3i ,(i use it with the ride by keiser)i like it never tried it with the peloton app to see how easy would be to match the resistence from keiser with the one from peloton classes with the conversion chart of course what is your opinion you think it would be easy to use with peloton app and match the resistance ( probably after a learning curve?)

[@ppha0244]

I bought a Keiser and OHHH I can't express how much I love it. Honestly, don't go cheap, you want to go high quality on something that makes you EXCITED to ride. Thanks for the review!

[@mariopellegrino7661]

They're both amazing bikes. I own both. Peloton is not a bad bike compared to Keiser, but Keiser just seems to go above and beyond in almost all aspects of the build and design. The major downsides are that only certain heart rate monitors work for it, and the Keiser apps are garbage. But before I got my Peloton, I used the Keiser pretty much every day for Apple Fitness+, Peloton, and just regular cardio routines I found online. Amazing experience. And how light it is and how it doesn't require power - you can put this bike anywhere and have a solid workout experience. I might get their elliptical too. Oh, and it's made in the USA.

[@ggc7318]

Made in USA. I will buy Keiser ! ❤️

[@ggc7318]

@@carrickdubya4765 C2 ? What is that ? I bought the Keiser M3i. Their prices are on their website.

[@DickTricky]

Keiser is the way to go in my view. I'm in the 240 lbs range and the keiser is dead stable and the resistance is silky smooth. I also like that it does not have a bunch of extra features that seem to be more marketing oriented. And this is a personal thing but I get a cult vibe fro the whole Peloton ecosystem.

[@DickTricky]

@@carrickdubya4765 How loud is it?

[@erikpreston2393]

Great comparison. I went with the Keiser and love it!! Be careful! It can be tempting to sign up for all the different app options!

[@TheSentryVoid]

Keiser the best!

[@mattreuscher]

I have had an M3i for the last year and shortly thereafter started taking peloton classes on it. I love that I’m not tied to peloton and the high monthly fee and can cancel any time and keep using the keiser bike. It’s so smooth, quiet and fits my 6’6 frame perfect. The wider pedal base helps as does the customization of handle and seat positions. Would highly recommend the Keiser M3i as much as I love my peloton classes

[@bmp713]

How strong is the resistance on the M3i? Do you think it is enough to get virtually anyone out of breath no matter how fit, and reach maximum heart rate? Every cheaper bike I tried so far I could breath pretty easy barely getting to 145HR which is almost useless.

[@mrstanbmw]

You won't be able to peddle the red handle all the way up the resistance is brutal I have done both bikes Keiser much better than the Peloton

[@dawnm2184]

Just to let people know, I am 4'11" with short legs compared to my height. I think my inseam is 25" on a good day. The Keiser bike is the only spin bike I have found that fits me comfortably. I had another bike (spin brand) that I found cumbersome for my size. I realize this is not an issue you have had (ha, you have the opposite problem), but it is worth mentioning to your viewers.

[@juliecasson8341]

You have to remember that Peloton is primarily an app company first with the bike built around the app, where as the Keiser is a fitness equipment company and has been doing that for years. That said, have been on both and own the Keiser… for the reason of wanting to own a bike that is commercial quality

[@DickTricky]

You nailed it. I don't like the culty marketing vibe I get from Peloton.

[@DreePlus]

Bought the Keiser two years ago. Outstanding bike. Love it and have NO regrets!

Resistance will kill you on the keiser

[@Mudfish1992]

Over 1000 rides on my Keiser m3i and zero regrets. It is smooth and dependable. Easy to adjust the resistance. Great HIIT machine.

[@bherrera9485]

Keiser M3I by far. If you wanna compare consider this. The Peloton bike, half the price is the bike and half the price is the monitor. Where as the Keiser M3I price is 100% solid quality bike. Commercial gym quality. Peloton is home use quality. Longevity, the Keiser will last a lifetime. With very little maintenance.

[@GuruChaz]

I would choose the Keiser M3i and just use it with an app. If anything, make a decision. Don't leave people hanging and say..."well....I like both". You gave the Keiser more accolades so just say it. The main problem with some of these main commercial bikes with all the bells and whistles is seat slippage and overpriced subscription services. You want the seat to lock in place. Keiser for the win there. Put all the bells and whistles on the Keiser and you have the industry leader. Are you listening, Keiser?

[@jbowgo9599]

I went with the Keiser M3i. I just want to add that it is essentially dead silent. Either that or my hearing is going. Probably a combination of both. I’m a relative novice at spinning and likely would have been happy with the Peloton. Like the flexibility of the Keiser platform and did not want to be locked into the Peloton system and monthly payment, especially since I already belong to a gym. For what it’s worth, the Keiser is a great ride, smooth and silent. I crank up the tunes and I’m off. Love its essential simplicity of design and quality. Is it the best, better or worse, I leave that for others to determine. It might be akin to comparing sporty hatchbacks. It’s all about the ride kind of. Thanks for the excellent review.

[@chezchezchezchez]

It's dead silent UNTIL your hub bearing(s) fail! Mine did in 4 months! Keiser is shipping me new parts(s) for free.

[@redbeard9586]

@@chezchezchezchez I’ve read that happens from shipping companies shipping the bike on its side, which tears up the bearings.

[@chezchezchezchez]

@@redbeard9586 thx. Yeah I heard that too. Maybe they should ship those hubs separately and have u install it fresh.

[@spopparty]

@@chezchezchezchez atleast they are sending you new ones..something not in the reviews is the warranty/customer service. a lot of reviews say sunny's is bad

[@gigss3439]

We bought the Keiser M3i eight months ago for all of the same reasons. Excellent quality, very quiet, smaller footprint, absolutely no issues with heavy daily use. I use with Peloton digital app, works great; my husband, a more serious biker, uses it without any app. We prefer the M3i resistance toggle near the thumb. Would highly recommend the Keiser.

[@jasonvegan5761]

Already bought the Joroto X2 thanks to these reviews, still felt the need to subscribe and watch other videos just for fun. Bro you can have your own spin class in your living room! I got the Joroto or Sunny 😂

[@RXP91]

I love my m5 strider. I picked up an m3 but with power pedals to get accurate power readings. Same bike, dirt cheap and accurate power

[@tyhigby4345]

You have the best reviews out there! You paint a picture of the experience that each product would give you! Keep it up!

[@lissetcota5568]

I really like your reviews and appreciate them, I was wondering though if you could do a video that tells us which bike you think is best to use with the peloton app for those of us who love the app but don’t want to buy the bike. Like maybe a a top 5 of what works best also with the prices. Thanks 😊

[@thishealthyhaven]

I love my echelon EX-15 from Amazon, built so well.

[@robdouglas020304]

I’m getting a Kaiser! Thanks for the review and wow great hair!

[@Dannynjoni]

Thanks for taking the time for this review! It’s much appreciated. (Haha I love the jump-to-other-bike edit (15:42) lol) Question: Did you end up getting a new Keiser M3i, or are you comparing the well-used one you picked up for $1200 with the Peloton bike that you originally purchased new?

[@redbeard9586]

He says in the video that his M3i is used with a lot of miles on it.

[@bbass56]

I use the Kaiser when I take a spin class at the gym and I use the Peloton Plus when I’m home ! Like you said, both great bikes. But over time, the front ‘vee’ part of the Kaiser does rust out from sweat and water and the fly wheel develops a clicking sound and it ‘slips’ and a tech is needed to fix it. And if you don’t make sure to lock in the seat, it’ll slip down on you during the ride. I see it all the time during class. I’ve only had the Peloton for 6 months and so far no issues.

[@TailHappyTV]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing Bill!

[@seattlebicycler3657]

I have the Keiser M3i and love it!! I use both the Zwift and Rouvy programs with it and couldn’t be happier!! I have a friend with the Peleton and he hates. The cockpit is too small compared to the Keiser and he’s had to have his Peleton screen replaced three times already because they quit working.

[@leoaudette8210]

i use the Keiser M3i with the blue tooth adapter to join the Zswift app on my ipad .. this has been a game changer for me !!! i couldnt deal with not doing zswift rides ... and the Peloton you cant do that ! I would hate to be locked into only using Peleton apps vs with the Keiser the world is your oyster ... or you can just ride on your own ...

[@cherylhackett7609]

Thank you so much for this. I'm new to spin and was looking for a perfect bike. With all your info, I know I've found it. KEISER..

[@dimas883]

Thanks for all the bike reviews you have done. I think I will be going with the m3i. Do you think $1400 for a used m3i is a good price?

[@mv3671]

Which one did you end up getting

[@theodoreboosalis]

Great reviews TailHappyTV - thumbs up big time. Entertaining as well.

[@emilybirchall2898]

Does anyone know if there is two-way connectivity with the Keiser m3i - i.e. if you connect it to Zwift/Rouvy, can the app then control the resistance?

[@robertdepesci3418]

My mans look like a fit Rob Schneider lol

[@SpencerReidBuchanan]

The problem with the Kaiser M3i is the bars SUCK. Honestly I find the bike extremely uncomfortable! But that being said, its the closest thing to a road bike feel outside of a Wahoo or putting your actual bike on a trainer

[@theodoreboosalis]

I'm replacing my Peloton Bike. I've burned through EIGHT bikes. Number 9 comes May 4th. 3 years of agony with Peloton - not worth it. I looked at the Keiser long - I decided to go with the Stages SB bike. I'll hold onto the Peloton Bike (if the frame isn't warped like my last 3 have been - then I'll keep replacing it on the 30 day guarantee delivery warranty until I get a good frame) and keep it as a reserve during break-in on the Stages SB. If the Stages SB has a manufacturing defect - I'll send it back for the refund. Then I'll get the Keiser.

[@ec168]

[@AmitGupta-zs3bp]

A brief review in Keiser’s The Ride app vs Peloton would be great. Specifically, quality of classes/instructors and ability to incorporate HR/Cadence/other metrics from the Keiser M3i

[@Passport-Bro]

Peloton is Made in China. That’s a no go for me. For obvious reasons. Keiser is 100% Made in USA. Keiser just went to the top of my list, and, thanks for pointing that out. Anyone know any other commercial grade bike that are NOT Made in China? Nordic Track is Made in China. What about Life Fitness bikes…in terms of quality / country of manufacture.

[@vincelombardi2669]

Keiser is the only brand made in the us. I know the family personally. Best around.

great vid. it deserves more views!

[@karifung7821]

HI. Shiman pedals you installed on the peloton, have they worked well, meaning no issues with them breaking off, or snapping off from the treads, like the detal do?

[@EpicRev1]

This IMO hands down the Keiser M3i is the better bike. Peloton is selling a package that includes an "okay" bike. The M3i is well designed, over-engineered so it begs the question why take a chance on a Peloton bike? I own a M3i and love the bike. I've ridden a couple of workouts on a friend's Peloton bike and no comparison. The adjustability of the Keiser and the overall feel are better with the Keiser. As he describes the Peloton, "I purchased a $1500 TV with a $500 bike". Yes, it's an exaggeration, but to his point, the Keiser is a much better bike, and it's cheaper. Not sure why anyone would want to be tied to one platform. For me, it seems to be a no-brainer. Is the Peleton garage, absolutely not, it's a good bike, but at what cost, $1,000/per bike in marketing costs? Keiser sells off their "reputation" and why it's found in so many commercial gyms across the USA.

[@bmp713]

How strong is the resistance? Do you think it is enough to get virtually anyone out of breath no matter how fit, and reach maximum heart rate? Every cheaper bike I tried so far I could breath pretty easy barely getting to 145HR which is almost useless.

Ive subscribed did the upvote and I'm still waiting for the Renpho update. I'm waiting to order one og the bikes through your links. Yes I'm impatient on this. I saw zwift and cant wait to try it and yes your channel has made me motivated as heck to get one.

What do you think about the life cycle gx? I have one and ive been considering the peloton plus but i don't want an inferior bike. I love the commercial strength and function of the gx but also the features of the peloton

”Which bike would I choose?” Dude, make a pick and just give your reason. Otherwise great video and I’m going with the Keiser so I can move it around easier and I move often so it will be safer to move from house to house

[@sonia5874]

Do you find that the cut out part of the handlebar on the Keiser M3i is uncomfortable or weird to get accustomed to compared to the a typical spin bike full length design??This is probably the biggest concern of mine.

[@TailHappyTV]

Not that I can recall, they seemed pretty good really

[@bmp713]

Can you remove the Peloton display and still use the bike with the resistance? I could not care less about the computer. All I care about is the most intense workout.

[@TailHappyTV]

I think you can on the standard peloton bike, it is not digital resistance

[@larissaswanson4702]

Can anyone help me decide if the Keiser M3i would be a good option for a rhythm based spin studio? We do choreography like "push-ups" almost while riding in the standing position and I am wondering if the Keiser would be able to withstand those types of movements?

[@mrstanbmw]

It is a very sturdy bike I prefer this bike over Peleton

[@carrickdubya4765]

Have you reviewed the Concept2 BikeERG ? For about $1200 it seems quite nice, though it looks different that the rest of the pack. I just bought a Sunny 1709 but may treat myself to a much nicer bike this summer and have my eye on the C2

[@TailHappyTV]

I have not, I’ve seen the concept2 rower at both of the gyms I go to, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for that bike at each gym next time I go. Seems like they make pretty well liked products
