I actually own a Peloton Bike+ and I hate it. It's dumb and I'm even dumber for buying it. It does nothing without a $44/mo Membership, and even that is lacking... I don't really care about some sweaty hardbody in a New York studio yelling to justify my purchase... so, that's why I began looking for a replacement.

The VeloCore changes the game with it's OPTIONAL "lean" feature. It will allow you to use your core to balance when you enable it, otherwise it is locked. Also, the numerous features that come ready (without a membership) is fantastic. This one comes with a 12-month JRNY subscription, but $19/mo after that is fine and offers way more features than Peloton. It pairs to my Apple Watch and other Apps like Netflix, etc... My favorite is the "virtual ride along" where you're riding along to a video of some exotic location. All these features distract me just enough to make me forget how much I hate exercising.

If saving money is you're #1 goal, then I think you have your answer: Save Money.

For me, it was all about the balance of features and cost that would help motivate me to use the damn bike. I'm genuinely excited to use my VeloCore, and saving more than 50% was a bonus.

You are shitting on the main selling feature of Peloton. The quality of "some sweaty hardbody in a New York studio yelling to justify my purchase" is what sets (set?) Peloton apart from others.

I confess that I have no idea what the current status of competition is, as I got my Peloton back in 2017 when it was basically the only game in town. But what I can speak to is that after getting the peloton primarily for my significant other (I'm a life-long lifter who hated cardio), I've been using the bike consistently for now 5+ years precisely because I unexpectedly found some of the instructors' classes to be entertaining enough to make time fly (and the ones I've gravitated to don't yell, just prepare good class structures and conduct them in a way that takes my mind off the suffering...in a good way).

Of course, to each his own, I just wanted to present a counter to your view for people on the fence.

I'd suggest that anyone looking to purchase such expensive equipment (which I would consider this bike to be despite it being much cheaper than the peloton) should find a way to try the corresponding classes and see which is least likely to end up collecting dust/holding up clothes.

I actually ordered one then canceled last month after reading about how bad the tablet is. (Reddit helped)

Also this does not have auto resistance like the Echelon, peloton bike+, or nordictracks.

Just a heads up you buying a ic4 with a lean feature and a bad android tablet with a smaller warranty.

$799 also for the 16" version for those interested. Still torn myself on this if and when the IC4/C6 drops again to $500 (plus iPad) versus this and limited third party and JRNY sub (that hasn't really improved over the past two years).

For anyone who knows more then me:

Should i get this (16" version for $799) or save some money and get the ECHELON EX4S+ from Costco at $499?
I have never owned an Exercise Bike. I do not plan to keep either subscription. Once it lapses i plan on using third party stuff. I am fine with jailbreaking like i have seen some do on XDA for other Exercise Bikes.
I would prefer one that just connects to a whole bunch of apps and lets me add my own tablet as the screen seems like a waste if I have a tablet.

Just bought the ic4 a few weeks ago when it was $500. I don't have experience with other bikes but I love it. Seems very well made and durable. The benefit of using your own screen is you don't have to worry about it becoming outdated or not support being dropped.

I would recommend the iFit exercise machines like Norditrack and Proform. Have a bike and treadmill and we use them daily.
