Our verdict

Wattbike suits a buyer who wants a smart bike they own outright, with nothing recurring to budget for after the shop. The Wattbike Proton costs £1,549 once and the monthly membership figure is free, so nothing is due each month and the bike is simply yours.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The monthly membership figure is free, and Wattbike ranks 1 of 59 brands on that measure in the comparison data.
  • The Wattbike Proton costs £1,549 once and the membership month is free, so nothing recurs after the purchase.
  • A 30 days money back window matches the return period most brands in the data use at 30.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and the brand sells into GB, IE and AU.

Cons

  • Warranty of 2 years is mid-table, ranking 16 of 44 brands in the comparison data.
  • Entry price of £1,549 ranks 62 of 71, so the upfront outlay is high for the category.
  • The range covers exercise bike only, against rower, exercise bike and strength at Concept2 and cross trainer, rower and strength at Teeter.
  • The stated maximum user weight of 135 kg leaves out heavier riders.

Who it suits

  • Riders who want a machine they own outright and would rather not pay a monthly fee.
  • Buyers based in the United Kingdom, IE and AU who want help through email, phone and help centre.
  • Riders inside the 135 kg maximum user weight the brand lists.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone after a rower or strength kit, since Concept2 covers rower, exercise bike and strength while Wattbike covers exercise bike.
  • Buyers building a full home gym rather than a bike, because Teeter covers cross trainer, rower and strength and Academy covers treadmill, exercise bike and rower.
  • Shoppers chasing the longest cover in the field, given 2 years of warranty puts Wattbike 16 of 44 in the comparison data.

Prices

Wattbike charges for hardware rather than for a plan tier. The Wattbike Proton is the cheapest route in, at £1,549 paid once, and the membership month listed against the Proton is free, so the £1,549 outlay is the whole cost of getting started. The other machines in the range, the Wattbike AirPro and the Wattbike Atom, are bought outright in the same way. Because the monthly figure sits at £0, there is no renewal charge to budget for once the bike is home.

How it compares on our data

Membership month is the standout measure. Wattbike ranks 1 of 59 brands in the comparison data, a strong showing. On price from it sits at 62 of 71, so the purchase price is above most of the field. Warranty length lands mid-table at 16 of 44. Buyers who can absorb a high entry payment get a cleaner ongoing deal than most of the ranking.

Core features

Membership is not required to ride, and the monthly figure stays free, so nothing extra attaches to the purchase. Cover runs 2 years on the Wattbike Atom, which is a mid-length term rather than an extended one. The stated maximum user weight is 135 kg, so heavier riders fall outside the limit. The Wattbike AirPro carries a 7 in screen for ride data, and a 30 days money back window covers a change of mind after delivery.

The company behind it

Wattbike trades as Wattbike Limited and is based in the United Kingdom. The company was founded in 2005 and builds its own bikes rather than reselling another maker's equipment. Owners get help through email, phone and help centre, so a phone line sits alongside email, a help centre and a community for troubleshooting and setup questions.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Wattbike bike cost?+

The Wattbike Proton is the entry model at £1,549, paid once at the point of sale. The membership month listed against it is free, so there is no recurring charge to add afterwards. The Wattbike AirPro and the Wattbike Atom are bought the same way, as separate hardware rather than cheaper tiers of a plan.

Do I need a membership to use a Wattbike bike?+

No membership is required, and the membership month listed against the Wattbike Proton is free. In the comparison data that measure ranks 1 of 59 brands, so the bike is not tied to an ongoing payment. What you pay at checkout is what you own.

Where can I buy a Wattbike bike?+

Wattbike is based in the United Kingdom and trades as Wattbike Limited. The brand sells into GB, IE and AU, so a buyer in one of those markets can order direct from the manufacturer instead of a reseller. Questions about orders and setup are handled through email, phone and help centre.

How long is the Wattbike warranty?+

Warranty runs 2 years on the Wattbike Atom. In the comparison data Wattbike ranks 16 of 44 brands on cover, so protection sits mid-table rather than among the longest in the category. Buyers keeping a bike for many years should read the terms closely.

Can I return a Wattbike bike if I do not like it?+

There is a 30 days money back window, which matches the return period most brands in the data use at 30. That gives time to ride the bike before deciding. The return is handled through email, phone and help centre.

What does the display on the Wattbike AirPro show?+

The Wattbike AirPro carries a 7 in screen, which suits glancing at ride numbers mid-session more than browsing menus for long stretches. Wattbike lists exercise bike as its product type, so the same basic format runs through the range whichever model you pick.

Is Wattbike a British company?+

Wattbike trades as Wattbike Limited, is based in the United Kingdom and was founded in 2005. It is a specialist maker of one category of machine rather than a general sports retailer. Owner help runs through email, phone and help centre, with a phone line included.

Who is a Wattbike bike built for?+

The bike suits riders who want their own training data without a monthly fee, and who are comfortable covering repairs after 2 years of cover. The stated maximum user weight is 135 kg, so anyone above that limit should look at a different machine.
