Per Echelon, this 4S model is only made and sold at Costco for $999, will it worth it? I cannot afford Peloton, but willing to spend up to 1K for it. |
You can get a much better and less expensive spin bike ($300-500) and use the Peloton app ($13/month). There are lots of threads here recommending different bikes like a model by Sunny. |
I bought the Costco $399. spin bike and it’s been fine. |
I've heard the echelon classes aren't great. If you're not going to buy a peloton, I'd get a schwinn or bowflex with an ipad holder, and then stream the peloton app instead of being limited to echelon. |
There's a facebook peloton app users group with lots of posts reviewing different bikes. |
There are a lot of bikes recommended in the Peloton app group on FB. Echelon Connect at Walmart $500 Schwinn IC4/Bowflex C6 $900-1000 Lots of Sunny and Joroto bikes too Most people buy a bike without the screen and use the Peloton app via a tablet or stream from the TV You can also watch comparison reviews on YouTube or read some blog reviews |
I don't understand this type of post. Yes, a Peloton bike is pricey, but the most expensive part is the monthly fee required to access their content (yes, I realize it's cheaper if you only use the app). This fee is the same for Echelon. |
This. I wouldn’t buy the echelon. |
I have a connect sport from walmart, it's 500 bucks. no screen, so I just use my ipad to stream peloton app. works great bike is great and cheap. i also put my phone up that connects to the bike to give me my cadence and resistence.
you can join the facebook group for eschelon riders on the peloton app. they have a chart with the resistance scale so you know where to turn the knob as the instructor calls it out. |
We spent $800 on the Schwinn IC4. Cheaper than Peloton and streams classes if you like as well. |
