It should surprise no one by now that someone has gone ahead and put a Bluetooth controller in an exercise bike. The purpose of this is to connect to a tablet or phone. This is used to give the user an immersive experience that they would have to either go outdoors for or to an exercise studio to enjoy. Both of which are not great options right now.

The box this bike comes in is massive and it weighs in at around 35 kg. Just pushing this box up a flight of stairs is a big workout. So, whenever it is delivered, make sure you get it placed around the spot you plan to use it. In the box, you get a bunch of documentation, some tools, the main unit of the Flexbike, a seat, a handle, two pedals and a tablet/phone stand. The unit has a very useful video on YouTube that makes assembling very easy. Once assembled, there is another video that tells you how to accurately adjust your bike to fit your body. I followed all the instructions and the result was a bike that was perfect for my height. I wish all online bought cycles came with such detailed instructions. Once that was done, I activated the Bluetooth on the bike by pulling out the strip under the battery and it was ready to use.
