These are decently well built devices. I have the Echelon Connect 3 which i recently bought used on FB marketplace for like $150.... Don't be fooled into thinking that you need to pay for a subscription to use these bikes. They try to make it sound like you absolutely have to have a subscription, but you don't.
Ive purchased a total of 3 of the Sport models of this bike (basically the same thing sans the monitor) - great bikes. I subscribe to Peloton and do their workouts with my iPad. One note - I assume it applies to this model as well - you'll need this $5 iOS/Android app[apple.com] to read your cadence/resistance from the bike and transmit it to Peloton (if you want to) otherwise you can just use it to monitor your performance/resistance.
It also does a translation between Echelon resistance and Peloton resistance - which is super helpful and seems to be pretty accurate.

I bought this and have been very pleased. It's quiet, feels sturdy, and works well. I got this at Christmas time and have gotten a lot more exercise because it's so convenient.
I don't have any intention of ever subscribing to a workout app whether Peloton or Echelon. I just do the freestyle mode (or whatever they call it). There are ads on the screen for the classes that they sell, but I just ignore them and watch TV/movies while I cycle; I haven't found them to be too annoying or distracting. As others have mentioned there are ways to jailbreak/hack the bike, but I've found that it's not necessary if you just use it as I do.
Good deal. Just a heads up: check CL if you want a Peloton. There are tons for sale in my area all the time. I was able to snag a nearly brand new one for (purchased in 2023) for $300. The COVID home fitness craze is definitely hitting the low point.

Anyone looking to use this with Peloton, be weary of the new plans and price increase. I own this bike and was using Youtube Vanced, but that got shut down, so now I basically don't use the connected tablet.
I also own the upgraded Costco version (bigger screen and a few other upgrades). It's been awesome with peloton but it takes persistence and better-than-basic technical abilities to "hack it" to use Peloton, Netflix, etc…
This has been a game changer for me and my wife in that we actually have stuck with exercising on it about 5x a week since Christmas. I never have done that before and was surprised at how much I enjoy Peloton with this bike
The big bummer is we exclusively use Peloton with it and the price is going from $13 a month to about $20ish a month for the same thing. I'm willing to pay the increase because I think the echelon quality is just much worse than Peloton.
