Got our pedal exerciser today, but the little monitor on top does not work. Blinks all "zeros" while cycling. Nothing work. Tried everything. Why?

Try inserting a new battery. When I first received my unit, the battery was dead. Good luck:)

None of my digital controls worked either! Wonder if controls worked on any made...I just kept using it strength after surgery. It was not really strong enough for me to use- I got rid of it. hope this helped. If so, pleased click "yes".

Did you put the battery in? The meter on mine quit working after a year or so but unless you record your mileages and times ii's no big deal at least to me. Otherwise call the company and request a new monitor

My bike's pedals do not make any noise. Most of the exercise bikes' pedals have small metal rods under the pedals to keep them in upright position when you put your feet to exercise so my guess will be than one of the rods is loose inside or the noise could be coming from the bearing so you might try spraying some lubrication or you might end up buying new pedals. Good luckWilfredo

The same thing happened to us! Fisher-Price is sending us a new pedal, however, I'm not hopeful this will solve the problem. My husband is a quality engineer and after a careful examination it appears to be a design flaw that allows the threads to strip very easily. We are also on the list to receive a new one when they arrive at our local Wal-Mart..in March! We're hoping the newly manufactured Smart Cycles have been corrected. Good luck!

Sounds like the magnet and sensor need to be closer or better aligned, I believe the blinking is an indication that you're not getting a signal from the sensor. I've had this happen several times mountain biking and solved the problem by moving the sensor closer to the magnet.

Since mine doesn't work any longer, I can't check it, but I would not recommend it. I know it doesn't have a stop watch feature as I remember that really annoying me. Get an inexpensive one from Performance Bicycles (Performance brand). I got this one...cheap, comfortable, and works great. http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1115834_-1_400131__400131

This is a common issue with this model. Count the number of times it blinks. It is most likely that one of the internal boards need to be replaced. At least this was the case for the one I bought.

Yep, just happened to me. I called the Motorola CSR who was anything but helpful. Told me to take out the battery for 10 minutes to reset it (you mean like I had already done 10 or 12 times?!). Useless. Didn't help that it was 1.5 yrs old, just out of warranty. So I took apart the monitor myself. Turns out there's a poorly designed flimsy switch that's soldered to the motherboard. If you press too hard it will cause the delicate soldered parts to fail, not right away, but I found that I had to keep pressing harder and harder over time to get it to work. Then one day it just would not power on anymore. Now, I'm trying to find an electronic store to solder it back on cuz I'm sure that's going to be cheaper than a new monitor! Thanks alot, no-help Motorola!

I have also had intermittent connection on the Mini Display Port connector. I would get a blinking display or lines in the display. Make sure it is well seated, then it seems to work better. I am not sure if it is only this cable, or inherent in the Mini Display Port connection.

I would check the back of the monitor too, making sure that nothing got changed there. I've had mine for over 2 1/2 years and it still works perfectly! I love it!!! If you check the back and everything is as it should be, definately contact the manufacturer and get it replaced!

Same thing happened when I purchased this bike for my grandson. the other online reviews say that the gears strip and the bike stops working. I returned bike and asked for refund.

Mine works fine...but I just leave it on high and shift the bike from gear to gear. Sorry I have no solution other than that.

I have the same problem, and have tried the sensor in virtually every orientation and virtually touching the crank mounted magnet on each rotation. Nothing has worked so far. A customer service rep from Wahoo has suggested swapping out the battery (apparently they can cut out a single function if they are low), and or resetting the network settings on my iPhone. I have yet to try this...was just looking here to see what battery to get. Mine is brand new and the other functions, including the heart-rate monitor, all work just fine. Only the cadence is missing.

there should be a light blink on the helmet. if its not return. probably just a factory defect. I like mine though

Will it feed from the cassette? Try this: http://www.gondack.com.ar/media/useruploads/files/ip4500-ssm.pdf. After you read over section 3 on the warning lights, count the number of blinks and read the problem area. It may indicate more than just a feed problem. Was there by any chance a jam? If so, were you able to account for all of the paper?

I also need help with the stripped pedal. It has fallen off. I need to get this fixed soon. I use the bike every day.

The bike itself works fine but the computer malfunctions frequently. For example, I will be riding and all of the sudden, it will say I am going zero mph at level zero. The resistance doesn't change, just the display doesn't work. If stats are important to you, I would discuss with sole before purchase.

Every time I'd turn the screen on it would be perfect, then after about 5 seconds the entire screen would become a dead pixel. The PCB going bad is apparently a common issue with these monitors. I told the seller about the issue and they paid to have it shipped back to them, no hassle. Got another one and it's perfect, no dead pixels.
