Wow, this is a great price if you're looking for a cheaper entry into Peloton. I did all the research last year and put together what you need to do after buying this bike. Reposting it here:
Required items you'll need:
Echelon bike[walmart.com] Peloton app[onepeloton.com]
Peloton subscription (Note, if you have a friend who has a bike subscription you can ask if they'll create an account for you instead to save some money)
Two streaming devices
One to connect to the Echelon app[echelonfit.com] to display your statistics, usually a phone
One to connect to the Peloton app to display the classes, usually a tablet
Optional add-ons to improve the experience
Wahoo cadence sensor[amazon.com] - iOS support only - this attaches to your bike's gearshaft and can be connected to the Peloton app to integrate your cadence. You'll already be getting cadence information from the Echelon app on your phone, but if you want it to display in the Peloton app, you'll need this too.
Polar Verity heart rate sensor[amazon.com] - this wraps around your arm and can provide heart rate data to the Peloton app. Instructors will mention heart rate zones to target in advanced classes, so if you want to be able to follow along you'll need this, but it's not required. You will also get more accurate calorie burn counts with your heart rate being measured.
Note: If you are an iOS user and have an Apple Watch, you have a couple options instead of buying a sensor.
Use Peloton app on your iPhone. If you use your iPhone for displaying the class, it will have direct access to your heart rate from your Apple Watch.
Download HeartCast[apple.com] which allows your Apple Watch to broadcast heart rate over bluetooth. You can pair this with your iPad/Android tablet.
Bicycle mat[amazon.com] - The official Echelon mat is 27"x47", so this should fit underneath it to catch your sweat and protect your carpet/hardwood floor. 1-3lb dumbbells[amazon.com] - In some classes, the instructor will tell you to do some lifts, so you'll need a set of light weights Peloton to Echelon resistance chart[etsy.com] - The instructor will call out numbers to change your bicycle resistance during the class, but the Echelon uses a different scale so you can print this out or buy one to have as a handy reference. Gel bicycle seat cover[amazon.com] - If you are gonna be spinning for a long time, the gel will help ease any pain you have in your backside
To get the baseline experience done, you'll need to setup your Echelon bike as described in the manual. After physical setup is complete, download the Echelon app to your phone, and then plug in your bike and start the pairing process.
Next, if you bought either of the optional sensors you'll need to pair them with their various ipad/android tablet apps to update their firmware.
Once paired, to get your Echelon app into freestyle mode to display your statistics, go to the bottom right of the app, select "More", then "Freestyle Ride".
Finally, you will then be able to load the Peloton app on your tablet, select a class, and start going.
At least with the Sport here, someone has written a third party app to handle resistance and stat calculation, so if you hate Echelon's app, there is an alternative:
As others have said, awesome bike and a steal at this price. Get a cheap tablet and the Qdomyos app (iOS and Android) for riding with Peloton (or Zwift, apparently). You have to sideload Google Play to install Qdomyos on a Fire tablet but that is the setup I use and it's awesome!
I'm wondering what I can do to make exercise suck just a little less. Anyone using something like this with a VR headset? A quick google shows me there are a few options, wondering if any of them work with the bluetooth in this bike for syncing, or if I would need to buy some sort of sensor.
This is one of those deals where you order first and then think if you want it or not.
lol.. its a very good deal but no, you dont want to deal with having to lug/ship this back because of your indecision. so decide now, do you need another heavy-duty coat hanger?

This is brilliant idea. I have the bike and just got a quest 2. There is a sub Reddit for spin bikes and I bet info would be in there. Or maybe it was an echelon sub Reddit. Added to my todo list.
We got the Prime version of this bike last year (essentially the same thing) and we love it. My fitness instructor wife uses it almost daily with Peloton on her phone (in the handlebar cradle) or on TV and a secondary phone to track cadence, etc. Stinks that it requires 2 phones BUT the bike won't really get outdated with old tech this way and should last a long time. It's holding up really well with regular usage. We got a mat to go under and that is recommended for easy sweat cleanup and floor protection. Buy with confidence...great deal on a great sturdy bike!
For someone who don't care about using any app, is this still a good deal?
The echelon app is the only way to lnow exactly what resitancr you're bike is set to... but maybe not an issue if youre not following along with classes. This is a great bike for the price.
Good bike!
My complaint is that you can't move the seat forward or backward. My wife who is 5'3" says the seat is too far from the handlebars for her to be completely comfortable.
Nice, but why not just pick up a used Schwinn Airdyne? They've been basically the same since forever. (It's essentially a wind-powered bike that allows you the option to use your arms as well). You can get them dirt cheap used--easily under $200. Or you can spend $700-800 on a fancy Rogue.
That, plus 20m of fasted, steady state cardio every morning after your coffee, and see the kind of results you are truly capable of.

I have had this bike for about 9 months. I use it 3-4x per week, and use the Peloton app for classes.
The bike has held up well, with the only issue being squeaking every once in a while, which I'm able to resolve with WD40.
Note, this bike requires a phone app to see resistance and output metrics. I rest my phone on the bike, and use mr TV or iPad with the Peloton app to ride along to the instructors.
Another thing to note is the resistance numbers are different than that of Peloton. I found a conversion chart online and use that so I know what my resistance should be.
Overall, I love this bike and it's a great deal (I bought it for $499)
