A:Answer Hey there - The 170 upright bike itself does not connect to the internet. You may download apps on your phone or tablet and connect using Bluetooth, but it is completely optional and not required to use the bike. If you have additional questions or need help with getting up and running, please reach out to our App Support team - we are happy to help!
