I don't think Pelatons work without a subscription

Wow what a deal, especially with how pricey exercise equipment has gotten the past 2 years.

I paid full price for this model (with the bigger screen) when it first came out. Overall the bike it very nice, I love the natural motion it makes while pedaling versus a stationary bike.

The issue with it is it's software. It's terrible and has continued to be terrible the full 1.5 or 2 years I've owned it. You also have to pay the $160/annual fee in order to use 3rd party software such as netflix, etc.

Overall I can't say I'd buy it again. Honestly it collects dust most of the time. If the software was better, this would be a steal but more often than not, you'll probably just want to use the bike and watch tv on your normal tv rather than their screen.

This is a great price, i bought it at bestbuy last month for $699 via price match so i got free delivery & installation + 2 year warranty with my totaltech membership
I would recommend getting at bestbuy for the installation

Also you have to buy the comfort seat from bowflex the one that comes with it, is really bad

Thanks for this! Truly helpful to hear feedback from someone who owns the bike. Is the software still terrible for the data functionality of the bike where it's tracking your ride progress? Or is it more-so just terrible if you want to use those third-party apps like Netflix or whatnot? We have a TV in the room we plan on putting an exercise bike in so I'm not sure if there's really a benefit to getting a bike with a screen... 🤔

I thought the screen is best used for their world circuit rides, where one can experience rides through various parts of the world.

Can the same be replicated on YouTube or via any other fitness app on Android TV?

You can relatively easily jailbreak the software. I have put out a YouTube showing how it works. You can even play Xbox on it remotely.

This is not relatively easy:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bowflex/..._velocore/

I really love my bike, but it does have it's limitations (such as not being able to use it directly for Zwift). I shouldn't have to go through a 15 step process to jailbreak the bike to them hamstring the experience built-in. The software is mediocre, but I still think it's worth the yearly price...probably only because I use it 3-4 times a week and view it as my gym membership.
