Echelon Connect Sport Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike + 30-Day Free Membership Trial

This bike is fantastic! And you can ABSOLUTELY swap in SPD pedals! I read negative reviews on here stating otherwise: I ordered Shimano pedals from Amazon for $50 before receiving the bike and assembled it with them from the start. They're great! The ride is super smooth, I used to ride at the gym but now I ride at home with Les Mill and the Peloton apps (you need to search up the conversion chart for resistance for Peloton. I printed it out and keep it near my bike). Doesn't bother me that my stats aren't on the leaderboard on Peloton at all, would rather pay 1/5 the price and only $12 a month for the service! I ordered a 2x4 mat for underneath it, that is the roughly the footprint of the bike (slightly smaller, see picture! Note I peeled off the "sports" stickers though haha). I worried it would feel big in the corner of my basement, but it doesn't at all! All bikes have uncomfortable seats imo, so I'm ordering a gel seat cover to help with that. Of NOTE: the assembly instructions are slightly confusing: the section at the beginning (page 7) that describes REMOVAL OF FRAME is actually what you want to follow to ATTACH the frame. One imperative thing here is removing the "wheel chock bolts" from the underside of the flywheel (which prevented it from moving in shipping). If that step is missed, your wheel/pedals won't turn. I've had this bike for a few weeks so can't speak to longevity, but I absolutely love it so far and would recommend without hesitation. I also purchased a protection plan through Walmart/Allstate at the time of purchase, which I found to be cheaper than a friend's Bowflex protection plan (and that's a $1000 bike to boot). If your goal is a smooth ride and saving money, buy this bike!

We were looking for an affordable version of a Peleton and found this. After reading the reviews, both good and bad, we decided to purchase it. It was easy to assemble and as one of the other reviewers pointed out, you have to remove the chock for the bike to peddle properly which might account for a few of the negative reviews. The bike is sturdy and fit both myself and my boyfriend. I am 5 ft 7 inches, 130 lbs. and he is 6 ft and 260 lbs. and we were able to adjust the seat and handlebars for a comfortable fit. I think the best feature of the bike is how incredibly quiet it is. You could easily ride this and not disturb anyone, even someone sleeping in the same room. Yes, it is THAT quiet. We were also impressed with the area that holds devices; both my tablet and my phone fit and were secure. As for the app, I have a subscription to a different fitness service so I will continue to use it instead so I cannot give any input on it. Overall, we think the bike is a great value and definitely recommend it.
