Does this bike not have ability to connect with strava ?

I don't think so. I have seen the following apps mentioned. Zwift, The Sufferfest, Kinomap, FulGaz, Rouvy.

Edit: I played around with adding google fit to the tablet and doing the AI gym sync. I am not getting the data to sync over to the google fit app. If somebody is able to get it to work, please share the how to secret.

I just assembled the bike. I don't notice misalignment like previously mentioned. I made sure I aligned everything and tightened bolts accordingly as well as the lever to adjust the handlebar height.

I guess there are batches that have alignment problems. It's not a deal killer but it would be nice if it was perfectly aligned. It is way too much trouble to do an exchange.

On the Amazon Q&A, 'renpho team' said there's strava integration.

So if it does have strava integration, you can try doing what mr @StatsGuy is doing with his setup. Link ai gym app to strava then strava to google fit.

I don't know what I am doing wrong but I cannot find renpho in the Strava app.

I don't think it's you sir unless we just both blind since I couldn't find it either

It's probably more the 'renpho team' stretching the truth a bit. I'm guessing their flow is 'ai gym > google fit > strava' but what we're trying to do is 'ai gym > strava > google fit'

It is $650 on the Renpho site and through Bestbuy (again keeping in mind their possible return costs vs amazon). Not as good as OP’s $600 deal.

I finally got around to assembling the bike, took 20 minutes, I replaced the saddle with a proper one. Fortunately for me, the handle bars are straight and not offset.

Like you, it would have bothered me to no end if it was not perfectly aligned.

@gee thanks for the update. I tried to get renpho to send me a replacement handlebar assembly but they didn't seem interested. I don't want the hassle of an exchange in case I get another one with an alignment problem. The resolution I accepted was a $99 refund on the purchase price.

What seat did you purchase as a replacement? For now, I have adjusted the angle of the seat and that addressed the comfort problem somewhat. I think I might try a gel seat cover.

I found a Giant Connect saddle brand new on Kijiji for 30$. The kid had multiple saddles.

I didn’t even bother with the seat that came with it. Removed it before assembling the bike.

How does this bike work on zwift? From other comments you can't ride in a pack or race since you can't use cadence or whatever. Is that true? Want to get this for zwift to race

Grabbed one of these and I find I prefer the Echelon so this ones gotta go!
Asking $650. It's back up to 699 so you are saving more than the tax.
No alignment issues either.

PM is key

@Gee
How is the new saddle that you got? Got the bike and assembled it yesterday, No issue with the alignment but that seat is just hell, so hard, like sitting on a piece of rock.

What APP are most people using, the Renpho one or some other?

The seat I replaced it with works a lot better than the original seat. Well worth the 30$

I am just using the Rempho app, didn’t want to pay a subscription to use another app

Planning to get one , any feedbacks on quality ?

Can we get an owners feedback of this bike after 5 months of ownership?

Planning to buy one for wifey and I and am slightly concerned on the after sales service/parts for this machine.
