Hi All,
I’m about to purchase a 2 yr old Kicker bike but before I do is there anything I should look out for or are there known issues I should know about?
Also if needed can I get support and spare parts from Wahoo?
Can I purchase a new warranty?
I feel it’s like buying a used car… you never know what you’re going to end up with.
Many thanks inadvance
Ian.

Ian,
If you haven’t done, you should read this thread: [Kickr Bike Experience - it broke - General Discussion - Zwift Forums](https://forums.zwift.com/t/kickr-bike-experience-it-broke/201075)
I have about 20K miles on kickr bikes. My first new purchase lasted for 80% of those miles then I experienced the shifter failure. Wahoo provided superior support and shipped a replacement resulting in no down time.
Other than the shifting problem, handlebar and seat post are prone to slippage due to inferior clamping design. Easily overcome IMO.
I would not hesitate to recommend the kickr bike as long as you have Wahoo support so the warranty question should be investigated with wahoo support.
