I
received
your
standard
cookie-cutter
response.
I
also
left
you
a
bad
review
elsewhere
and
you
might
be
able
to
respond
there.
And
what
took
two
weeks
to
respond?
Do
NOT
buy
the
Technogym
Ride
(or
any
Technogym
product
for
that
matter!!).
It's
just
not
worth
it.
You'll
likely
be
disappointed
and
frustrated
like
I
am—latest
when
something
invariably
goes
wrong
and
you
can't
get
the
assistance
you
need.
Hey,
I
could
not
even
find
help
to
set
up
the
bike
properly—not
online
and
certainly
not
from
my
sales
representative.
Let's
start
at
the
beginning.
First,
the
delivery
people
can
hardly
tell
the
difference
between
a
bike
and
a
desk.
Seriously,
they
had
absolutely
no
clue,
and
accordingly,
I
needed
weeks
to
really
get
started.
This
is
not
hyperbole,
but
they
literally
knew
less
than
I
did,
which
was
not
much.
Importantly,
the
bike
arrived
with
a
defective
on/off
button
under
the
monitor.
I
immediately
signaled
it
to
my
salesperson,
Mavy,
who
simply
told
me
to
pull
out
the
AC
power
cord
from
the
wall
outlet
every
time
I
want
to
start
the
bike.
He
said
the
power
button
is
useless,
which
makes
you
wonder
why
Technogym
would
include
a
power
on/off
button.
And,
perhaps
the
better
question,
why
should
I
settle
for
a
defective
product?
When
you
invest
more
than
Euro
5,000
just
on
the
bike,
should
you
not
demand
a
perfectly
functional
bike?
I
could
go
on
since
I
also
purchased
the
Technogym
Wellness
Ball,
which
unfortunately
was
too
small
for
its
case.
I
literally
have
the
Wellness
Ball
package
laying
here
collecting
dust
waiting
for
someone
from
Technogym
to
pick
it
up.
One
more
word
on
my
sales
representative.
Besides
not
appointing
a
replacement
when
he
goes
on
vacation
or
holidays,
which
in
France
is
all
the
time
:-),
he
just
does
not
care
to
respond.
And
when
he
does,
he
does
not
follow
through
on
his
promises.
As
alluded
to
above,
it
is
up
to
you
to
figure
out
how
the
bike
works.
There
ought
to
be
a
useful
quickstart
guide
that
explains
the
importance
of
the
FTP
threshold,
which
determines
pretty
much
every
other
output
on
the
bike.
I
eventually
figured
this
out
when
the
power
zones
just
did
not
reflect
what
the
instructor
was
saying
they
should.
A
quick
word
on
the
Clipless
Pedals.
The
bike
only
accepts
pedals
made
by
Technogym.
I
can
understand
that
(for
warranty
purposes),
but
it
is
not
clearly
written
on
the
website
or
in
the
manual.
I
searched
hours
trying
to
figure
out
why
the
expensive
pedals
I
purchased
did
not
fit.
Hey,
Technogym
does
not
even
provide
tools
for
you
to
change
your
pedals.
And
so
I
could
not
return
the
expensive
pedals
since
I
had
lubed
them
...
and
eventually
ordered
the
Technogym
pedals.
I
would
highlight
that
the
workout
programs
and
coaches
are
quite
excellent
...
when
the
bike
works.
But
should
you
really
make
a
trade-off
when
you
spend
so
much
money
and
have
alternatives
with
infinitely
better
service?
Btw
...
I
have
now
been
on
the
phone
waiting
for
their
support
(after
first
calling
the
support
in
Italy)
for
48
minutes
and
will
finally
hang
up—wow,
so
frustrating
to
waste
even
more
time!.
Where
does
that
leave
me?
I
really
do
not
know
since
I
can't
reach
anyone.
I
have
a
pretty
new
bike
that
does
not
turn
on.
What
should
I
do?
I
suspect
someone
will
reply
to
this
review
with
a
perfunctory
apology
and
a
link
to
some
resource
that
does
not
work.
I
also
once
spoke
with
the
quality
department
(imagine
that!)
and
took
like
30-40
minutes
trying
to
provide
constructive
feedback.
The
only
thing
I
asked
is
that
he
has
someone
reach
out
and
replace
the
defective
on/off
button.
Which
brings
this
review
full
circle.
Do
you
want
to
spend
that
much
money
on
a
piece
of
sports
equipment
that
you
cannot
use?
