I currently have the Connect Sport (without the monitor).
Is there any real benefit to upgrading to this one with the built in tablet? Does the tablet know the bike exists automatically or do I need to pair it to the bike via bluetooth as if it was a separate tablet every time I use the bike (like I do now with the Connect Sport)?
WIth you 100%--I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy Peloton content until I actually got to try it out and it helps me feel so much more motivated to actually get on the bike. Game changer.
Awesome. Which instructors have you found to be best? My top three are Alex Toussaint for biking, Adrian Williams for strength and Callie Gullickson for core (her classes are much easier)

Are there any other advantages?
Thanks!
you don't need to pair the tablet to the bike every time (although you do have to pair inside either QZ or EchBT apps if you use those), but I wouldn't say its worth buying a whole new bike. The tablet isn't great. I'm probably going to remove mine and replace it with a newer android tablet.
Can you upgrade the screen? I was looking for something without a screen. So. I could use whatever tablet or TV.
Yeah, the bike connects to the tablet via bluetooth. The cable running up to the screen is only for power. You can use whatever tablet you want with it. If you want to reuse the arm holding up the tablet, I think it's a nonstandard mounting screw pattern so you might have to 3d print something or get more creative. Most people that I've seen buy a clamp-on bike tablet holder that grips the top of the handlebars.

I think for a new user it probably a good idea to get bike with tablet. You could always use the existing tablet mount as a path to a future upgrade.
Would it just be worth using a cheap 10-inch tablet instead of jailbreaking the one that came with it so you have more functionality? I'd imagine there is some sort of universal mount. Has anyone gone this route that can offer some advice?
Ordered one after comparing with the more expensive ex models… can someone confirm if this is a good deal and enough for non-hardcore people? Also, does this come with the extra wide seat?

Got it during last sale and hacked it.. any recommendations of bigger seat for this?
I bought this for $16. It's a little more now but pairs well with my oversized dupa. Unless you're tiny, with no butt & plan on cycling while standing, it's probably better to get a more comfortable seat. The one it comes with is horrible!
