This is considered a BYOD bike (bring your own device). The benefits of a BYOD bike is that many of the touchscreen displays that are connected to modern bikes often use outdated OS, are slow and laggy and are one of the first components to malfunction. Unfortunately Echelon (like a lot of other bike companies) only offers a 1 year warrranty on their displays. By using your own display (phone/tablet) you greatly reduce the risk of your bike becomeing a huge paperweight b/c the display dies. This also allows owners to watch whatever they want (Netflix/Amazon Prime/Disney, etc) using their own device. Most fitness bikes do not allow you to use the bike outside of the fitness app that is preinstalled on their screens.
Although this bike is designed to only work with Echelon's fitness app which is installed onto the owner's device some brillant software engineeers have created an app that allows you to use this bike with a number of different fitness apps (Peleton, Zwift to name a couple) and still capture necessary bike feedback like resistance, cadence and heartrate. More info about that can be found here:
https://www.qzfitness.c
This is a low cost BYOD bike that allows you to use it with multiple bike fitness apps and also allow you to stream whatever media content you'd like. Though Echeolon sells more expensive bikes, with the software/hardware hacks currently available, I think this is the best bike that Echeolon sells.

The main differences between 3 and 5 are the water bottle cage, the fact that the 5 has moveable handlebars, the tablet holder is slightly more flexible, and ... that's about it. Importantly, the electronics and motor drive mechanism are the same: the 3 and 5 both allow *an app* (QZ or Echelon's app) to manage the resistance for you.
So if you're cycling in Paris in the app and you hit a hill, the app can manage resistance on the bike. The lower-end "Sport" bikes (and EX15 for Walmart) don't offer this. This feature is a big deal presently, because it makes using apps with the bike automatic/transparent/better.

https://www.reddit.com/r/go_echel...t_are_the/ [reddit.com] has more commentary on the differences.
In terms of phone/tablet mounting. The EX-3 may be preferred if you want to be able to flip it to watch other exercise content (stretching, yoga, etc). The EX-5's mount does not flip. The tablet/phone is mounted higher with the EX-5 vs. the EX-3 which may be perferable over longer rides if you have neck pain.
For me, the most important difference is that there is a third party solution (Etsy) for adding a VESA mount to the EX-5. I haven't noted this to be the case for the EX-3. Adding a VESA mount to the bike allows you to add any size monitor you want to the EX-5 (I'll be adding a 18" touchscreen to my EX-5). This is the #1 reason why I went with the EX-5 as the monitors that Echelon ships their upper tier bikes with use laggy software with a skin on top of an extremely outdated version of Android (OS 9) and you are stuck inside the Echelon ecosystem. I wanted a monitor solution that would use any OS I wanted, was higher quality (resolution/refresh rate) and could be easily and cheaply replaced if/when necessary. This also allows me to use various work out apps with the Echelon bike like Peleton, JRNEY, Zwift, etc.

It's a gaming touchscreen (10-points) monitor that uses USB-C for input (rather than HDMI/DP). Here's a review video of the monitor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0NqH3Q
I plan to use a Samsung phone that is DEX compatible which will provide a desktop Android OS environment on the monitor. Therefore the OS will be coming from the phone rather than the monitor (which is typical of all Echelon monitors). Therefore as long as your phone is getting updates, you'll always have the latest Android OS being available when using your bike. You can see the advantages of DEX here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=825w97d
The issues you might run into with the EX5-s is removing and attaching a new monitor. I'm using a third party product that adds a VESA mount to my EX-5 (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1445...ount-for). I'm not sure if there are any mounting options that allow EX5-s owners to remove and upgrade their monitor.
