The Yesoul G1M Plus is the bike in our guides that most resembles a studio class set-up at home: a large 21.5 inch HD screen sits on the bike, according to the title, and the YESOUL app supplies live classes and scenic rides. The unusual part is power. Yesoul says the bike generates its own electricity as you pedal, so there is no cable to run and no socket to find.

Our take
Screen, app and lighting
The YESOUL Fitness app offers global scenic routes, coaching, live studio classes, leaderboards and community rides, per the listing. With the screen on the bike, you do not need a tablet or a TV in front of you. Whether the app needs a paid plan is not stated, so check that before committing.
LED lights switch on when you start pedalling and fade when you stop, which Yesoul pitches as a studio atmosphere. It is a cosmetic feature, but some riders find it adds energy to a session.
How it rides
There are 100 levels of magnetic resistance driven through a belt, which allows very small changes between steps. Yesoul describes a dual-stage transmission and an alloy flywheel intended to give a road-like feel, but it does not give the flywheel weight.
Pedals and seat are adjustable, though the seat ranges are not listed. The minimum rider height is given as 54 inches and the maximum user weight as 300 lb, about 136 kg.
Size, weight and placement
Yesoul describes it as weighing under 20 kg, while the spec table says 22 kg, so plan for the heavier figure if it needs carrying upstairs. Transport wheels let you roll it between rooms, and because it is self-powered, it can live anywhere, including a room with no spare socket. The listed dimensions look like a packed size, so measure generously.
G1M Plus versus the BH Osaka and VirtuFit Stage 2.0i
The BH Osaka H9110 and VirtuFit Stage 2.0i both lean towards open platforms such as Zwift and Kinomap and rely on your own screen. The VirtuFit lists a 22 kg flywheel; the Osaka measures watts. The Yesoul trades that openness for an all-in-one package built around its own app, which is simpler if you want classes the moment you sit on the saddle.
Verdict
Buy the G1M Plus if you want a screen and classes built into the bike and no power cable. If you prefer to ride Zwift or train by watts, the BH Osaka H9110 is a better fit, and riders who want a heavy stated flywheel should consider the VirtuFit Stage 2.0i.
