my suggestion is this, which yes is a little more than $500, but I do think this is a good choice for those on a budget and wanting a smooth and pretty quiet ride. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/Sunny-Health-Fitness-Evolution-Magnetic/dp/B078F12DPL/ref%3Dsr_1_7?dchild%3D1%26keywords%3Dsunny%2Bhealth%2Bcycling%2Bbike%26qid%3D1604510152%26sr%3D8-7&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1604596617130000&usg=AFQjCNFsK7kKKQ1MsbYavxhkgcdGp881TA

I have this bike, and ride it everyday. I also bought these pedals on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Venzo-Fitness-Exercise-Compatible-Shimano/dp/B081ZXWR8L/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=pedal+spd&qid=1604510387&sr=8-9 so i could use my SPD clips and have a more secure ride!

​

let me know if you have any questions! :)
