There aren't many reviews of the Inspire bike yet, but so far owners in the Peloton app users FB group like it. Inspire appears to have a good brand rep for training equipment. The warranty appears better than Echelon's.

Inspire's app and classes sound worse than Echelon, but that FB group is using the Peloton app for classes anyways.

A significant advantage of the Inspire bike, assuming the bikes are roughly equal otherwise, is the Costco return policy.

What's the Facebook group you mention here? Would like to see the reviews before going for this.

Peloton digital app users FB group. There's also a reddit thread about the bike in r/spinclass.

I was planning on using the Peloton app too, As you say , I couldn't find many reviews for it , but Costco's return policy is what has me considering giving it a try .
Thanks and repped !

My exercise bike I bought 5 years ago makes an excellent clothes hanging rack in our basement. From the picture of this bike, I expect it will perform similarly well.

The big difference I know of is that this has a flywheel weight of 31lbs and the Echelon Prime or the Echelon Connect Sport (both are the same just with Amazon or Walmart exclusive branding) have 15lbs flywheels.

Was all that confusion about the flywheel weight on those Echelons finally resolved?

The dumbest most ignorant comment I have ever read. Blame manufacturer, store, environment, government but not yourself.
I bike commute 15 miles/day year-round in brutal midwest weather, probably putting over 4k miles/year into my bike. Chill out dude. It was a joke.
