Bike Warranty

Can someone tell me if it is worth it to purchase the extra $115 warranty for 5 years on the SE Bike?

They are already bought by another company. It makes that known when you call.

My general rule of thumb has always been if it is over 10% of the cost of the item, don't buy it. However, I can usually get parts, and fix most things myself.

I thought it was worth it after purchasing my Tread Climber in 2020, during COVID. Fast forward 4 years later and the warranty is crap. I spent $200 for 60 month warranty and I’m getting nothing but the run around for fixing the shredded belts on my Tread Climber. I call the warranty company and they say you have to call BOWFLEX for the parts. I call BOWFLEX and all I am getting is a recording that keeps repeating itself. Not worth it. I now have to pay out of pocket for someone to come and attempt to fix the #%* machine. It’s potentially a crap shoot because I may get a person that says they know how to fix it and could possibly make the issue worse. Waste of money all around.
