Now I know that this not as slick as the previous FP deal of $349, but hoping this can help people who would like to purchase a bike now. I missed out on the schwinn ic4 deal a few weeks ago and have been looking for a decent deal on a bike and seems like this may be the best one available.

The price is now $255.99 at walmart.com. Some locations have in store clearance price of $100 each. I purchased 2 at that price yesterday. Price is back to $397 at walmart.com.
The lower dot com price was from a third party not walmart direct. It has changed back to walmart direct.

I just bought it online. Initially no delivery unavailable 3 days ago when I first looked. Delivery now available to NYC. There's another brickseek YMMV post that has this listed for $200 if you're lucky enough to find one by you and actually in stock.
newbie question, can you use this with other services like fitness+ and get all the metrics from the bike?
Time to pull out my annual Echelon to Peloton post. I did all the research in 2020 and put together what you need to do after buying this bike. Reposting it here:
Peloton subscription (Note, if you have a friend who has a bike subscription [not just app] 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, install the Peloton Watch App. It will ping you when your class starts and use your watch as a heart rate monitor.
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.
