A 10-cent change the manufacturer refuses to make would save this product
For reasons that escape me, I have now bought two bikes from Sunny Health and Fitness. The overall quality of the bike is actually really solid - the problem is that they skip in the ONE spot where you absolutely CANNOT skimp in constructing a bike like this: the crankshaft & pedals.
The threading on the crankshafts is so unbelievably cheap that on BOTH my bikes the pedals have fallen off, the threading on the crankshaft becomes stripped, and the pedals can't be re-attached. On my first bike I bought few years ago it took probably 6 months for this to happen, I thought it might have happened because I tried to swap out the pedals on the bike. I really liked the overall value, so I bought a new one, hoping that if I didn't change the pedals it would hold up, or the newer model would have fixed this problem - I mean after all, this would LITERALLY be a 5-10 cent fix in manufacturing costs.
Nope, in fact quite the opposite. On this new bike the left pedal fell out on the first use, stripping the threading and making the pedal un-attachable.
Please, make this tiny, tiny improvement to your product and you will really have a great, 4-5 star product. Until then, a bike with no pedals is completely worthless.
