Connected Exercise bike

doningtonphil

I  have not been able to identify a section of the forum that suits fitness equipment, so as I am asking about wifi/bluetooth connected exercise bikes I thought this might be the right home...

We are looking for an exercise bike that can connect to kinomaps/ifit/zwift that is nice and solid and max £500. Can anyone suggest best value options?

Many thanks

If you have an actual bike, you can use a wheel on smart trainer - starts around £200 (price up a bit for winter season - I picked this up for about £160 a few years ago)

For the purpose of Zwift, I bought a second hand road bike for £100 (Carrera Zelos) fitted a training tyre to the rear and bought the above Tacx wheel on trainer - so full Zwift setup for about £300.

The advantage of the above setup is that you actually have a real bike you can use outdoors and it is easier to store than an actual exercise bike.
