Smart trainer for recovery

1 Upvotes

TL;DR Anyone have a direct drive smart trainer they are willing to sell on the cheap(<$350)?

Broke my collarbone in a crash a few weeks back. I'm cleared to be back on the bike which I need desperately for my mental and physical health. I have a basic magnet, wheel-on, dumb trainer but it isn't smooth and is mind bogglingly boring. I am hoping one of the virtual platforms will be more engaging for recovery and training over the next couple of months.

I have looked at sales and Facebook marketplace but wanted to ask the community and see if anyone has one they would be willing to part with. New (unless maybe AliExpress) is out of the question with my doctor bills.

Features I think I want:

Modern ish direct drive trainer (2019-now)

Compatible with virtual training platforms

Virtual shifting is a nice to have (would allow my wife and I to swap bikes easier in the future)

Ideal price $175-250 Realistic price $250-350

While participating in the Finish The Ride event this past Sunday, I witnessed this 💩 parking job. The event helps fundraise for road safety awareness and improvements. Obviously LA County Registar and Recorder could use some awareness themselves. 🤡🤡🤡
