Economy model. Replacement is often more logical than expensive repairs.

Notes

Smart exercise bikes combine mechanical drivetrain parts with a large display and sensors. Repair is often worthwhile for belts, bearings, pedals, or small electronics when the frame is solid.

Replace is more sensible if the main display fails and replacement costs are high, if the resistance system has repeated faults, or if the bike has heavy-use wear that affects safety or stability.
