Seat squeaks and display runs through batteries

So the positive of this equipment is it was relatively easy to assemble and to use. I've haven't had it long enough to judge its reliability. But here are my negative issues: 1) When you stop pedaling, the pedals still spin so there is no idle while the flywheel is still spinning 2) The seat squeaks when you are pedaling. Still trying to see where it's coming from and can I fix it (vs. just getting a new seat) 3) The display is very basic and drains batteries. In order to change the battery, you have to unscrew the display from its bracket.. A REALLY bad design. The battery compartment should be accessible without removing the display from the bracket.
