I'm very happy with the Bell Motivator trainer. I"m just a recreational cyclist, but I don't enjoy cycling when it's minus 30F outside! So I wanted something I could use to bring my old mountain bike inside and keep in-shape during the long winter here in Alaska. I find the trainer very easy to use, and I had the bike set up and started riding within 5 minutes of getting it out of the box. There is noise, but I don't find it too obnoxious. Could be because I have very heavy, studded mountain bike tires on my bike. I just wanted something simple, at not too exorbitant a cost, and I found it! I've been using it every other day, for almost three weeks now, and I have no complaints.

This trainer is a great beginner trainer. I am a young teenager finishing up my first season racing. I decide I wanted to stick with it so I bought a trainer. The trainer is assembled in box and is ready to use. I would recommend that you use the skewer that comes with it. It fits the trainer quite nicely. The trainer is very quiet. The only draw-back is that is doesn't have much resistance. Which is why I rated it a 4/5 stars. It works fine turning a big gear. If you want a trainer to just stay fit on. Stop reading and buy it now. Like I said before if you are just starting into racing this is one of the best trainers you can buy for how much it is.

Much better performance than I had hoped for, easy to set up and very stable.

This trainer exceeded my expections in value, quality and functionality. I purchased it for my wife as an exercise option and she loves it. Although the trainer elevates the rear of the bike, I was able to easily compensate by tilting the seat and handle bars. The bike is very stable on the stand and if necessary a block can be used under the front wheel for a level ride.

I am very happy with the bike trainer I purchased from Amazon. The shipping was very fast and the trainer was complete. It works great. No problems at all. I recommend this item to any who would rather not ride outside in the elements and the animals and the traffic.
