Is it easy to convert bike from in house on the trainer to outside for a fresh air ride?

You merely hook your bike to the trainer without modifications (unless you do not have the right rear spoke). When you want to take it outside, just unhook the back supports and away you go.

Yes, it is fairly easy to get your bike off the trainer and go out, maybe a 3-5 minute affair. The rear hub gets squeezed in place and held on the trainer so once that's loosened the bike can drop down. From there, remove the clamp for the adjustable tensioner from your handle bars (or where ever you chose to attach it) and you're good to go!

Sorry, I have not tried that. Although, even with one bike on the rack, it is pretty heavy.

So long as you can get the sensor close enough (and not in the way of anything else). I've got my bike set up on an air trainer and ythe sensors work just fine the way the instructions suggest.

The shipping box was smaller than I expected and lighter but it would have to be put into a garage as pretty big to get up a flight if stairs. Bear in mind that the bike is not assembled. I took mine (the box fitted into the back of my station wagon) to a local bike shop who charged me $75 to assemble, fine tune and test the bike

The hardest part was getting it out of the box, but it only took about 15 minutes. With the box upright, cut around the bottom, then lift the box off the bike.It was easy to put it together, but took about 20 minutes, partly due to adjusting.

You can go to your local bike shop and ask for a trainer skewer or find one on here. They aren't anything proprietary for this or most trainers. Steel Quick Release Skewer for Rear Mounted Trainers

Yes, you can. Most of these trainers also provide a quick-release skewer in the box, but, I did not use the one provided. One bike I mounted on the trainer has its own quick-release skewer, the other did not. Both worked fine.

Not out of the box. It will need to be fitted to the bike. This might involve punching new holes to make it fit but that part is under the seat.

You could do it but you need to stand in the pedals, hold the set with one hand and the other one adjust the seat.It is easier if you get off the bike.It is a good bike.Hope this helps!

I put mine on my old Peugeot hybrid without needing a conversion kit. I think it's a standard fitting for most bikes.

Yes. The cardboard box outside lifts right off the metal frame. There are two metal holders, one on each handle bar grip, that come up with a screwdriver. After that you can lift the top part of the metal shipping structure off (weights about 10 pounds) and roll the bike off the base. Very easy to unpack and the way they package it up keeps it safe and secure during transport. Outside of unlocking the seat and turning the switch to "on" the bike is ready to go.

Not ideal...I did it in Switzerland and the winter here is not as tough...quite slippery with the original tires. In winter I use the MTB which has better results on snow and ice. Only positive if you slip & fall toy might stand and can let the bike fall...with the crank brothers on my MTB it is a sure fall �

I simply attached the rear wheel by tightening the hand screw on the left side of the trainer. I did not remove anything from the bike to do this

it is as easy as simply positioning the bike, turning a couple cranks, adjusting the tension wheel for the size of bike wheel and then getting on and riding the bike. I am a 67 year old grandmother who set it up in about seven minutes!

No - I am not a bike mechanic, but I grew up around bikes and feel that I am ok - it took me less than 1/2 an hour to change both sides.. It is a fairly straight forward procedure....

You can convert with a kit but for the price my husband just purchased both.

Yes, it's somewhat easy but I had to watch some YouTube videos to ensure I did it properly. The directions are not helpful. I ended up taking it to a bike shop for proper calibration. Cost about $30 but the bike has been great ever since. I ride 2x week, long distance and have owned it a year.
