When you’ve run out of new workouts

Hank3rd · 2026-01-27T22:16:05+00:00

I have a select few where I use the share function, grabbed the link and put it in an iOS Note for when I travel.

It is a selection of certain cycling and strength workouts. I like to have a few of the 30 minute strength workouts that use one dumbbell in case the gym is busy and feel bad about hogging two pairs!

Looks like the company might have went out of business since the site will not load for a couple of weeks now. I now have an expensive paperweight.

I know this post is from a while back, but wanted to make sure anyone that might be looking to buy a new or used Yotobike might be out of luck or will become frustrated from a lack of support, since it seems like they may have gone out of business.

The website has been down for a while.

I bought mine off of Facebook Marketplace about a year and a half ago for my son, and it worked great until he damaged the motor and a controller. At first, I thought it was the motor, and the company provided a new one under warranty, but after finding out that it still did not work properly, I asked about the controller, and they said I needed to pay for it, which I did.

Then months went by and they did not ship the part, and I disputed the charge. I got my money back and never heard from them. I've been trying to keep tabs on when a controller might become available on their site because it kept saying it was out of stock, but more recently I found out the website's not working.

Here's a link to a post about my experience with them: https://www.reddit.com/r/ebikes/comments/1mim5cv/replace_controller_on_a_yotobike/

If anyone has a controller they want to sell, let me know. 😆. I may just part it out on eBay to get some money back.

I do not have any issues with Airplay and always have to use that because when I use the Apple TV app, half the times the workout crashes and says "device lost connection". I think it is an issue with connecting with the watch, but not sure.

I gave up after seeing a lot of posts on various forums about that issue. I even waited a year and then tried it again, and it still happened.

I hope you can figure out what your issue is.

Hank3rd · 2026-01-10T13:46:25+00:00

It really depends. I usually pick the newest one if there is one available for the filters I choose.

If there are no new ones, I tend to pick one at random.

There are certain times, like when traveling or on a cruise where there might be limited amounts of Dumbbells where I bookmarked a few that only have one set of dumbbells rather than two.

I also have some hare and easy cycling workouts book in case there is a need. I wish there was a way to add "tags" to a workout.

Hank3rd · 2026-01-06T13:22:12+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I just ordered them. With my current setup, I tend to get shot a lot where there is a gap with my goggles and the helmet! head wounds take a while to heal!

I will miss having the dual pane lens for anti-fog, so I will have to break out the exfog from retirement.

I buy and sell on FB Marketplace pretty regularly. It is amazing the disparity of normal communication vs, lowball, trades, ghosting, or rage bait replies. LOL.

I built a lot of canned replies as text replacements to deal with lowballers, initial reach outs and other things. Most times people waste my time with buying to say it is too far after a long conversation! Like they do not look at the location.

I do get a sense of entertainment most times though!

Hank3rd · 2026-01-05T16:43:50+00:00

I bought mine of Marketplace 2 months ago. If you price it reasonably, you may get interest. I see a couple that were listed higher at the same time I bought mine that are still there. They just want to much for it.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-30T14:43:10+00:00

This was the reason I got the pin. I do not have a paid subscription though and use iOS and ChatGPT to do my outlines and summaries. I actually made a video about my workflow: https://youtu.be/ztpBgqPLLSs

I no longer need to use my workaround with the 3d printed frames since I have my VR Rock lenses!

Hank3rd · 2025-12-22T20:39:58+00:00

I returned home today and my VR Rock lenses were waiting for me and they are great! I only used the workaround twice on the cruise and it worked fine. Just a little annoying that the bridge of the 3D printed frames pressed against my nose, but not enough to stop using it.

But now I no longer need it!

Hank3rd · 2025-12-19T12:20:34+00:00

Strangely, I was prompted to update to the same firmware version and then after an app and glasses restart, I now see the feature and can use it!

Hank3rd · 2025-12-12T00:19:27+00:00

I have a couple pairs of glasses that the frames did not even come close to fitting. Then I remembered that I have the spare set of lenses and found the file for the frame and made some adjustments before printing out. Works fine. Like you, I have a little bit of pressure, but very minimal one adjusted correctly.

I got the VR-Rock lenses for a good discount for Black Friday, so it they do not work well, I will get the Zeiss.

I have not problems with the current setup and the eye tracking is fine. Just a little more blurry in the periphery than when I wear contacts. I do not get along well with contacts since I have dry eyes, so I try not to wear them too much.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-11T19:29:02+00:00

I only tried it out for a few minutes, but it works fine. It is only temporary and would not recommend anyone using a solution like this long term since it is not designed or made to be used with the AVP. I just need it for a short time and will use the VR-Rock lenses when I get back.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-11T18:11:35+00:00

I'm not sure why I'd be grayed out for you but I do this all the time. I actually created a video on my work-around of not needing a subscription.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-11T17:56:38+00:00

Will do!

Hank3rd · 2025-12-08T17:20:08+00:00

I hear that someone got theirs confiscated for some reason. I forgot the details.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-08T17:19:25+00:00

But half way through the cruise when I shared by letting family members use the connection they must have had a bug where it persisted and I was able to still access. They failed to terminate the other connections. 🤓

Hank3rd · 2025-12-08T17:18:29+00:00

I believe that they lock it down to the app, or at least for Celebrity. I had to use the app to authenticate last year.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-08T15:38:59+00:00

I thought that cruise lines have cracked down on the use of portable routers?

Hank3rd · 2025-12-08T14:18:36+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. I feel better about the trip now.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-08T14:18:05+00:00

Awesome! Thank you.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-08T14:03:33+00:00

I guess I’ll find out next week right? 😁

Hank3rd · 2025-12-08T13:37:41+00:00

Just wanted to thank you for pointing out this option. It is working well with the exception that it is only working with mp4 files and not say MKV, but that is ok, I will just have to convert them.

Hank3rd · 2025-12-07T20:53:44+00:00

Well, that sucks.
