@@preludedriven my balcony has a roof so if I cover the bike it will not rain on the bike. I' m asking if the humidity will damage the bike because I can't control it. Thank you for your answer.
@@wahiditrg86 Thank you Sir. It's just 300 dollars in my country. It's the best deal. I will buy it for Black Friday. I will use it with Kinomap. Nice evening.
It isn’t really designed to be removable, so you will need to use a flat head screwdriver to pry it off. Note; it will most likely get scratched/damaged during the process, however.
I got mine yesterday, it was exactly the same inside the box, even the packaging was the same with the yellow plastic ties but there was no blutooth heart rate monitor inside, I wonder if they don't include it in every box, maybe there are differences for different countries or it was a mistake..
@@preludedriven thanks! I supposed that is so, even though is 6.5 kilos,i tried today other model yesoul m1 6.5 kilo and i couldn't to cycle when i increase resistance,it was difficult. I will buy s3 thewe days.greetjng frk Greece
I have a question. Out of all the bikes you reviewed here which one do you recommend the most? I have watched all of the videos and I am leaning towards this one or maybe the Joroto you reviewed. I want you opinion though. Also my husband will be using it to and he is 6'4"
Both my wife and I love this bike, and if you are planning on joining any virtual classes/rides, where you need to pair cadence and watts, I would go with this over the Joroto. I would say that the longer crank arms on the Joroto XM16 are better for taller riders though. Actually, your husband might be better suited for the Schwinn IC4 at 6'4".
Hi, I have not ridden that particular bike yet, but I have ridden the Echelon Connect Sport, which I believe is mostly the same. It was ok, but I didn't feel like it had very good inertia and I found the Q Factor (distance between the pedals) to be a bit too wide for my liking.
Both bikes are very good, but each one has it's strengths and weaknesses. I do like the simpler bluetooth, adjustable tablet mount, saddle and overall looks of this bike more, but I will say that overall, the Schwinn IC4 is the better bike. It is also much more expensive, however.
This bike pairs with many apps, including the Yesoul app. This has various workout programs. You need a heart rate monitor or use the strap that is included. I recommend pair to Zwift, which it does easily. Then you can pair your watch for HR using the Zwift app. So many workouts and training programs with others. This bike is the cheapest way to get into Zwift.
Hey, I just unpacked mine and gave it try. I really love it but there is a slight rubbing sound (intermittently) when I pedal. Not sure if it comes from the wheel or if it’s from the box where the belt is. Could it be the belt? The sound definitely comes from the right side. It’s not a huge sound but I still hear it every 1 or 2 seconds. Do you also have this slight noise? Anything I could do or check?
Oh bummer! No, I do not have any noise on mine, but I have experienced the same thing on a different bike. I would definitely recommend removing the belt guard and see if it still happens, or if you can visually see any rubbing. On my other bike, a quick adjustment to the mounting of the belt guard completely solved my issue! Hope this helps!
Hello, sorry, but I have not tried the max resistance on those bikes, but the max resistance is good on this bike, enough for me to do stand up efforts. Once the resistance magnet are at 100%, there is a felt pad that engages to add more resistance. Hope this helps.
Hi. Thanks for the reply! Just a follow up - is it odd that this is supposed to be a magnetic resistance bike yet it relies on a felt pad for additional resistance?
@@MM-mq9ux the felt pad is for breaking, if you want to do an emergency brake of the flywheel you can push the big knob en the felt pad pushes down on the flywheel
Hi! I've tried both those apps, as well as sufferfest, and pretty much any app that needs cadence + power output should work. I'd imagine that FulGaz and Rouvy should work no problem as well. Hope this helps!
Bro, great video. The stock pedals are terrible, changing them to SPD or other clip less is a big upgrade. I want to change the cranks as the stock are too short. Not sure if it is possible but I will try and switch to Shimano 105.
Thank you! I definitely installed SPD pedals with a quickness lol!!! I too found the short crank arms after making this video. Did not realize it till later, but the bottom bracket has a square tapered design, so possibly lower end Shimano (I.e. Acera) might fit. Will try this ASAP and will respond back if it works 👌🏽
@@preludedriven Hi.. Thank you for the video. So did any of you changed the cranks? I am 6'3" and like everything about the bike but the height restrictions. Please let me know if you have an update.
Do you use a microphone? your voice volume and clarity are perfect. It makes me pay more attention to what you are saying and also makes me want to buy that bike.
Hello! I haven't found any official measurements on it, but it feels very similar to the Schwinn IC4 which has a 190mm Q Factor. -on the wide side, but still comfortable. Hope this helps.
@@UnboxRacing Hi, Were you able to replace the cranks? If yes, would love to hear about it.. I am 190cm tall.. :( (First time sad about my height.. ;))
@@pramodneelu never be sad about how tall you are 🤜🤛 taller mean you can see something other cannot due to being small 🤣 and you are easy to be spotted 🤣
Hello I have some problems with Yesoul s3. My resistance knob does not working. When i am turning clockwise to add resistance it stops at around 40% and falls back to zero resistance What is the problem? :(((
Hmm that is odd, as the S3 has manual resistance. My recommendation would be to remove the plastic shroud and check for any loose parts, or possibly something blocking the resistance mechanism. LMK if this helps.
The Bluetooth heart rate monitor is pretty accurate. The calories not so much, as it does not factor in the rider's height, weight, and wattage is not accurate.
I've got one, it's a bit small for me but I am very tall. I would say under 185 cm is fine. I'm trying to figure out how to raise the saddle more or replace the cranks et.
I too have been curious about the M1. Specs aren't available on the website, but other than it being fully enclosed vs the open S3 design, it does also have a belt-driven lightweight flywheel with magnetic resistance, as well as Bluetooth Connectivity. I do like the bottle holders better on the M1, but otherwise, they seem pretty similar.
Hi, it feels overall pretty consistent to what I am used to. But I do not own power meter pedals (yet) unfortunately, so I'm not too sure how accurate they are technically.
I have two questions: 1. What's the maximum power (watts) you can produce on max resistance? I just need an estimation. 2. How is this bike tell you the power? does it own a power meter or just an estimation of a power with speed? How accurate is the power data?
Sadly, this bike is such a big disappointment. Connection via bluetooth unfortunately was unable to reach on any device (smartphone, tablet). While training spinning wheel makes some irritating noise. Something like rubbing material. And the packech did not include the heart rate monitor belt.
Hi, new bike is connecting with app. But I have to switch on not only bluetooth but also GPS localization on my phone. don't know why, but it works ;) The weird sound of belt in spinning wheel is the same unfortunately.
Hello, sorry it didn't meet expectations. Those issues definitely sound like a defective unit, as mine has and is still 100% silent and bluetooth pairs faster than any of the bikes I own. I did hear about some not including heart rate monitors as well, which is odd. Did you get a new, different spin bike?
Sorry, I just saw your reply. If you are handy, you should try removing the plastic belt cover. On a couple of different brand bikes I've owned, there was a tiny bit of a plastic burr that was rubbing the side of the belt. A quick sanding with a nail file fixed the noise completely :)

How was the bike?
Great video, ton of information, thank you.
Can you share your thoughts after one year+ of use ?
Great instruction. Thanks. Do you have the performance video review?
can you store the Yesoul S3 on the balcony and cover it with the waterproof cover
Technically, yes, but even a little exposure to the elements could cause parts to wear prematurely.
@@preludedriven my balcony has a roof so if I cover the bike it will not rain on the bike. I' m asking if the humidity will damage the bike because I can't control it. Thank you for your answer.

Yes, the Saddle can be raised pretty high actually. This bike can suit a pretty long inseam.
Great review! How do you remove the decorative cover on the handlebar though?
It isn’t really designed to be removable, so you will need to use a flat head screwdriver to pry it off. Note; it will most likely get scratched/damaged during the process, however.

Is the bike able to free wheel like on a normal bike?
What’s the exact iPad model? Yours fits perfectly!
It is actually the standard 10" iPad. I believe both the air and the mini should fit in as well!
Awesome in-depth quick review. Do you think this bike is worth $280 compared to IC4 Schwinn $500?
Its satisfyingly resistance??
Yes, very good. 👍🏽

Yes, it is very easy to move around using the front transport wheels.

How do you know how many calories burn, distance and time you ride? Do you have to use apps for those information?
is it possible to do a video of this bike after using it for 2 years? :)
Hello. have you tried the Echelon Smart Connect EX-15? Thanks
Hi, I have not ridden that particular bike yet, but I have ridden the Echelon Connect Sport, which I believe is mostly the same. It was ok, but I didn't feel like it had very good inertia and I found the Q Factor (distance between the pedals) to be a bit too wide for my liking.
Can i know the distance between the pedal and the seat? Want to know it is high enough.
Vs schwinn ic4?

@@preludedriven thank you. I was able to get the Schwinn from Amazon for about $650

I have also the some problem with the Bicycle. Did u return it back ? Or did u fix it?
Same problem here. Any luck ever fixing it?
Hello, Is this a freewheel? does it keep pedaling if you stop?
It is fixed, so the flywheel will spin and continue to turn the pedals, until it stops spinning.
Hi
Wondering, how does the max resistance of the yesoul compare to the echelon and peloton?
Hello, sorry, but I have not tried the max resistance on those bikes, but the max resistance is good on this bike, enough for me to do stand up efforts. Once the resistance magnet are at 100%, there is a felt pad that engages to add more resistance. Hope this helps.

Did you figure out what part goes with the pedals or use with cleat shoes?!
please, because I want to buy it and I'm interested in what is the shortest distance between the saddle and the handlebars, can you check and tell me?
what other cycling apps work with the yesoul apart from the yesoul app and zwift?
Hi! I've tried both those apps, as well as sufferfest, and pretty much any app that needs cadence + power output should work. I'd imagine that FulGaz and Rouvy should work no problem as well. Hope this helps!
@@preludedriven are you able to select Yesoul as the controllable in Zwift? I saw a UA-cam that it can be done.

Can it hold a 10.2 inch ipad? What are the dimensions for the ipad holding part
My iPad fits in perfectly (the one in this video) and I believe it too is the 10.2 inch model...
Do you know if resistance is automaticaly adjust on kinomap or fulgaz when you drive incline or you need manualy adjust resistance on every hill?
This bike has fully manual resistance.
Can we change the pedals to pedals with cleats ?
Yes, standard fittings. I change to ultegra clip less and works fine. I want to change the cranks but not sure if I can.
@@UnboxRacing and? You changed cranks?
Is the Bluetooth heart rate and calories accurate?
The Bluetooth heart rate monitor is pretty accurate. The calories not so much, as it does not factor in the rider's height, weight, and wattage is not accurate.

How much Power accuracy yesoul in zwift?
Hi, it feels overall pretty consistent to what I am used to. But I do not own power meter pedals (yet) unfortunately, so I'm not too sure how accurate they are technically.
@@preludedriven ok thanks
Is it still working
Yes, working great!
Can you tell me the weight of the flywheel please..?? Thanks..
The flywheel is 31lbs, but it is perimeter-weighted, so it will have higher inertia vs a typical 31lb flywheel.
Please help! Is it good with Zwift?
Yes its works well with zwift.. love this bike👍🏻
Can i Connect the app with my Phone?
Hello, yes you can use the app with your phone. I recommend using a tablet for the larger screen size.
Great review follow up please
What is the inseam on this bike?
Is it quiet? I live in an apartment and worried it will be noisy for the ppl downstairs.
Its almost silent.. your own ear also cant even hear it..
does this have a wheel?
sorry i meant does it have small wheels so you can move it around easily...
Yes, this does have two transport wheels up front :)
Hello I wana know how sturdy it is..? When doin climbing it the handel wobble.. I'm bout 40kg. Spin daily can it be use daily?
Hello! The handlebars are very stable! For your weight, you shouldn't have any problems with it and using it daily should be great!
Great will order soon.
Another question is do u think the flywheel can handel the daily spin as this not a commercial grade right?
@@ziezyeroziana3643 no problem, it's very well built.
What is difference between m1 one?
No difference, the M1 is just enclosed so that the flywheel doesn't hurt pets and children.
I have two questions:
1. What's the maximum power (watts) you can produce on max resistance? I just need an estimation.
2. How is this bike tell you the power? does it own a power meter or just an estimation of a power with speed? How accurate is the power data?
400watt
The bike does not have a power meter, and it is an estimation based on the resistance level and cadence.
Whats the difference between S3 and S3 Pro apart from screen?
Also i am 105, will it support me when i am riding on zwift while standing
It's the max limit. You should buy a 130kg spin bike
What are the holes on the underside of the pedals?
Can you add some type of clip in situation?
There is a version of these same pedals with a clip side, but I am not sure where one can purchase the clip to add on, unfortunately.
