The cheapest smart trainers are the Elite Qubo B+ Smart (note there are a few similar named units) and tacx vortex. THese can be found for $225. Spending $200 extra is worth it.


FWIW - I can do about 23 seconds on a dumb trainer, 50min on rollers, and 1.5 hours on a smart trainer before attempting to take my own life.
