Awesome bike, great value!
This is a fantastic bike for the money! Set up was super easy, took me about 30 mins total including unboxing. The ride is incredibly smooth and totally silent. It’s got a small footprint which is really great if you are in an apartment or have limited space. All the tools are included and there are very few parts in the assembly. I’ve not set up the app yet, but will give the free trial a try. One thing to note, this bike comes standard with a racing seat. Racing seats are not designed for comfort, so if you’re not used to them you have a couple options- swap out the seat, or get cycling shorts which have padding in the butt. I am not a fan of the squishy seats, as they are wide so if you stand up for climbing, stick with the seat this comes with and do yourself a favor and invest in a good pair of cycling shorts. You should also note that everything is adjustable – take some time to try different riding positions before you judge this bike as it can make a difference. I’m 5’ 8” and it’s perfect for me, and I could see this working for anyone between 5’ and up to 6’4” which is a pretty big range for a bike. This replaces an old chain spin bike that I’ve had for a decade and wow, what an upgrade. It’s everything I’d hoped for at a quarter of the price of the fancy bigger name spin bikes. Echelon makes other fitness equipment including workout mirrors, so it is not some fly-by-night company. I’ve been looking for a solid bike for about 6 months and did a lot of research befor investing; I’ve shifted from running to cycling to save my knees and so definitely wanted something high quality. The build feels super solid and as I said, the ride is smooth and comfortable. Can’t wait to add this to my daily workout routine. Excellent value and special thanks to the Amazon delivery person who brought this up to the 2nd floor to my apartment door- thank you for going above and beyond!

Forget Peloton….Echelon this is the only bike you need
I wanted a magnetic exercise bike that was excellent quality, provided me a smooth, trackable ride and didn’t break the bank.Prior to purchasing, I watched tons of YouTube videos i.e., comparison, quality, price, magnetic vs. old school. Videos pretty much on every decent brand of magnetic bike Peloton, Schwann, Joroto, Sunny, Proform, Echelon and many more. Even the different styles for each brand name. There truly are so many different bikes.I went with the Echelon EX-15 and I got it in the mail today!!!! I couldn’t have been more excited!!Amazon delivered it right to my living room floor. I did NOT purchase the Amazon assembly, just the $9.99 delivery fee to get it inside the house. I literally set it up in less than 30 minutes, it’s so freaking easy and the directions are perfection, exact step-by-step instructions are provided. SO EASY!!! You really don’t need to pay the extra $80 for assembly.While I was putting it together I noticed how superior quality this bike actually is. It’s so nice! Once put together, I plugged in my bike, added my iPad, opened the echelon app and took my first ride on it! Wowza, it’s freaking amazing! So smooth, and literally makes no sound at all! I can’t believe I got this bike for a mere $399!!!!!!! Even more so, I can’t believe people pay $1400-$2800 for other high end brands. Seriously people, if you’re considering a magnetic bike you will be so happy with this bike!!! Don’t waste all the extra money on a name. The higher priced ones simply have a screen. If you already have an iPad use it and get this bike.Additionally, I find the echelon app for instructor led classes monthly fee to be quite high ($40 per month)! You don’t need the membership. Download the app to your phone, set up an account, go to other, select free ride and you can operate and track your workout on your phone. For actual instructor led classes, I signed up for the Peloton classes which are only $12.99 per month!!!! So, download Peloton app on your iPad and whooop there ya go! You’re ready to take Peloton classes on your iPad and your phone will monitor everything else on you echelon app. It’s pretty amazing! And all this for $399 and a $12.99 monthly fee from Peloton.So happy and thankful to everyone who posted YouTube videos and allowed/helped me in making such a great, cost effective purchase! Hoping to pass this info and purchase success on to everyone!

Excellent bike
I’ve been using an old friction resistance spin bike for years now, and appreciated it’s sturdiness and ease of maintenance at the tradeoff of limited tracking capabilities, but finally opted for one of these as an upgrade. So far, very pleased with the quality construction and functionality. I suspect these models have likely been sitting in a warehouse for some time, so keep in mind you’ll have to ensure the firmware on both your bike and display will have to be up to date when you set it up. And at the ~120lbs, it’s a robust enough frame that my 6’2 210lb can push it hard without worrying about tipping the thing over (lol), which is something you legitimately have to worry about with some of the cheaper magnetic resistance bikes out there. As a comparison, I had bought a DMASUN magnetic resistance bike back in June, only to soon discover that it’s very lightweight construction (barely 60lbs) rendered it quite useless for me. You get what you pay for, and i’d consider this bike model to be on par with a Peloton. We’ll see how it holds up after everyday use for the next few months.Oh, and if the subscription thing is not in the budget for you, the freestyle mode works fine and provides you all of the realtime tracking and resistance control functions, so you can do your own workout and have no problem with this bike.Edit: I think the low ratings here are mostly a product of people’s assessment based on buying the bike at a much higher price. At its sub $400 price currently, it’s ridiculously low. Any concerns about the pedals can be resolved by applying a thread locker. I’ve done so with mine and have experienced no loosening since. It’s an excellent bike at its current price and I’m certain you won’t find a better equipped one anywhere near this price.

Two years after my initial purchase I final invested in bike cleat shoes. Sadly it took me this long to discover there was a manufacturer error made in the pedals. The model claims the that it adapts to two, types of shoes, street shoes and bike shoes with cleats. Though this may be true the pedals sent with my bike were installed with reversed shoe cleats and and in order to switch from street shoes to Spd cleatbike shoes the pedals need to be removed

This is my first bike and I love it. I chose this one because the fly wheel is encased. It is safer to ride around my cats.Came with a couple scratches that would normally bother me but I love the bike so I’ll get over it.You can’t see your resistance or cadence without the app. So you will need to plug the bike in if you want Bluetooth. I couldn’t figure out how to use the app without activating the free trial. So I found a different app to use instead. It doesn’t have a screen so you will need a phone or tablet if you want. Or you can just ride it without Bluetooth if you don’t care to see your resistance or cadence.This bike does not have SPD pedals so if you like to clip in you will need to buy those separately.The seat hurts my butt. I might buy the oversized seat if I don’t get used to it. I already feel like it’s hurting less after one week of riding.Bike is easy to assemble, sturdy, quiet, smooth. I’m a new rider so I think it’s a good entry level bike for the price. I’m pretty happy with it. Now I don’t have to travel to the gym for a quick cardio session.

Alternative to a gym membership as cycling is my go to fitness workout it was a no brainier, only had it 2 days and already clocked up 25 miles which i wouldn’t have done in this terrible weather we are currently having, very impressed so far

I’ve had the bike now for three weeks and absolutely love it. It’s a great bike for the price. I was deciding between purchasing the 4s+ from Costco on sale for $999 then this bike went on sale from Amazon for $599. I had researched every bike out there and watched so many videos and reviews I came to the conclusion this is the best affordable bike unless you want to spend the money and get a peleton. The bike was very easy to assemble I did it myself in 30mins. I did watch tailhappy assembly video on YouTube. The bike is sturdy, quiet and just a really nice ride. I did get a gel seat cover. I love that I can watch anything and not have to subscribe to the echelon app. I think this is better than getting the bikes with a screen. I’m currently using the free month with peloton and will decide if I want to keep it or just watch YouTube videos. Very happy with this purchase.
