I ordered this bike in December and despite being messed around the delivery date, I'm looking forward to receiving it after this review - So thanks as I was a little unsure after reading some of the reviews on Facebook
Great review. Just ordered using YOUR code, although the Blackfriday code was the same discount. Hopfully I will enjoy this on the days I can't mountain bike
I was on the hunt for a fitness solution from home, and the YESOUL spinning bike has been a hit. My initial spin was quite challenging, yet I was hooked on the live sessions. I went ahead and kicked off a monthly competition with buddies to keep us both motivated. Nowadays, we're all about sharing updates and cheering each other on!
@tammiewilson4762 They say it works without it, but most say you have to get it.I couldn't get it to caste / mirror, so I got the subscription. Well, it still didn't work.I finally got it to mirror today.Im not celebrating until after a few days because it did this before. Very tricky situation this bike.smh
Super happy with my Yesoul exercise bike! Love the class designs while riding - makes workouts so easy and fun. If you're thinking about buying one, Yesoul is totally worth it!
DO NOT BUY.... Unless you plan to pay for the subscription. The 21.5 inch screen is useless with out the PAY Subscription. Yes i was suckered in for $419. Mine arrived om 8/31/2024. I put it together in less than 1 hour. Great price but a total scam on streaming to the screen. Bottom line the bike is nice and well made so buy the basic Yesoul and use your extra money for a 10 inch android or apple tablet.
@@thischeeseburgerI will say that Yesoul recently updated this to no longer require a subscription to screen cast. I have the bike without the app and have been able to do it on both this one and the new G1M Plus.
@TheChromaDrone from what I read the older ones, you can.I have the newer version GM1 plus, probably will need the streaming cord.I FINALLY got it to caste today ( will see if it continues to work).My youtube synced, but I haven't tried anything else because I just got it caste.I did the subscription, but it still didn't work right away.All I can say, this is a tricky bike to set up.
Your comments about the Peloton camera are wrong. The bikes do have a camera, but they aren't active. It was only for people to do like a facetime type of situation with other members. It was stopped at least 2 years ago. The instructors were unable to see the riders. On the Guide (which is Peloton's strength form/rep equipment) we are able to use a camera for form checks, but the instructor still can't see us. It would be a little crazy for the instructors to be looking at hundreds, if not thousands of members, who are taking the classes live.
Yeah, this is a scam. They do not make the HDMI version with free screen casting anymore. You have to pay to use the app for screen casting and the HDMI port is removed. Not worth the buy.
When connected to my Iphone15 via USB C, no audio through the speaker whatsoever running any apps. Have already checked connectors fit. Thanks for any help.
Just got my Yesoul exercise bike, and it's amazing! The class designs are so engaging, keeps me motivated, and the ride is super comfy. If you're thinking about working out from home, this is a product worth checking out!
Super happy with my YESOUL bike and subscription very affordable. My husband has an android and it keeps asking for Digital port can you help me a guide me what is that and where I can get this at?
So to confirm, without a subscription you can't mirror iPhone content to the screen now? Is that correct? Sounds like the S3 sold on Amazon is a lighter weight bike. How does it compare to the GM1 Plus or the G1M Max? If the difference with the S3 is primarily the screen I may opt for that since I don't think I'll get the subscription. Thank you!
That’s incorrect now. Yesoul changed their policy to no longer require a subscription to screencast. So casting to the screen is free currently, but not sure if it’ll stay that way or not. Yesoul tried charging people to screen cast and I think they realized it was a bad idea so they aren’t doing it anymore. I haven’t ridden the s3 but yeah it seems like the same bike but without the screen.
Trek hasn’t updated the verve in years unfortunately, but they have recently released the electric verve+ bike. I can likely do a review on the verve’s though since I haven’t done that on my channel before
Does that phone have a usb c connection? My bike came with a cable to connect to usb c and on the other side of the cable it’s hdmi and regular usb so you plug both into the bike
Appreciate you making this video! It really helped me make my video. I understand people are mad at the screen mirror\subscription but what is that alternative? I don't think there are any other cheaper bikes that can do this. After riding the G1M, I do want to try a pelaton now, but we don't have a local retailer. Much love from Colorado.
@@abeerharuray7147 The build quality is very solid, the screen hardly moves while riding. I use it every morning to wake up the body. I did change the seat to a bigger softer seat which really improved my experience. After 30 minute rides, I was getting off like ouch but not anymore. I have settled with using only my ipad instead of my phone.
to others watching this thinking of buying don't. The current models do not offer HDMI connection (only USB-c) and as a result you will have to pay a monthly fee to use the monitor
I really appreciate an honest review and comparison . I had to wade through a ton of bias reviews before this.

So I am curious are you saying the screen does not work unless you sign up for the monthly or yearly subscription?:

I planned on buying the subscription anyway so it seems like a good bike?
Can I use other Apps like Zwift or Rouvy, Bkool?
The same with me
Just wanted to acknowledge your comment all over these videos is very much appreciated!
@@thischeeseburgerI will say that Yesoul recently updated this to no longer require a subscription to screen cast. I have the bike without the app and have been able to do it on both this one and the new G1M Plus.
it comes with a usb cord to connect to your phone so it automatically connects to your screen so you can watch things without the subscription
So question. If I have a Pelaton subscription will the Yesoul integrate the ride stats into the peloton app if my phone is connected?
Thanks for making this video! Are you able to stream things like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, etc from an iPhone using the Lightning to HDMI cable?

I bought because I thought I would be able to screen cast without the app and now I feel like I been robbed
@@JuanMarcosGomezwhat device?
@@NickBotha Yesoul G1M plus
@@JuanMarcosGomez I also have bought it and I have the same feelings.
Can't you just use your phone screen mirror function?
Great review!
Thank you!
When connected to my Iphone15 via USB C, no audio through the speaker whatsoever running any apps. Have already checked connectors fit. Thanks for any help.
I'm using an iPhone 15 pro max with the included usb c cable and I'm getting sound. You may have to turn off the bluetooth on the phone.

@@TalalipopMTB your welcome
Does it connect/sync to Apple fitness ?
Yes it does
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did I see an onscreen leaderboard in those classes like they have in Peloton?
Is it possible to import the data from the bike into Apple Health or Apple Fitness+?
Did you ever find out?

has trek came up with 2023/2024 version? can you do a review of the latest verve?

I am not able to connect with Android Google Pixel to yesoul
Does that phone have a usb c connection? My bike came with a cable to connect to usb c and on the other side of the cable it’s hdmi and regular usb so you plug both into the bike
@@TalalipopMTB yes it does, but mine is not a display type c port
Oh then I’m not sure if it would work. I think I saw somewhere on their website that it must be display type c compatible
Does it adjust the resistance on the bike during the ride?
You have to turn the resistance knob yourself, but if you do the classes, the instructor tells you when to turn it up or down and by how much

Just buy a adapter for your phone lol some people complain just to complain
@@OdelShotYawhat adapter is that? Can you give a link ? I'm ticked because I can't use the monitor only via my phone.Thanks
@@animoney1 probably not
Could not connect to TV display doesn't matter how many ways to try, it's suck
you need to pay the subscription.
@@karo88100 I paid for 1 year from July 10, 2024.
@@karo88100even with the subscription it won't work.I think they didn't give you the right cables.This is a big complaint on their site.
