Does anyone have an indoor bike you love? I am looking to use the peloton app on an ipad/tv with a cheaper bike. Reading online, many people like the Suny bikes on Amazon. Would love to hear some pea reviews!

I bought a Schwinn IC4 at the beginning of the pandemic because the wait was super long on Pelotons, and I wasn't sure if I'd like spinning enough to spend almost 3x as much for a Peloton. My Lagree instructor, who was also a spin instructor, recommended the bike and it's what she has at home. I use it with the Peloton app, and I have no complaints with my set up.
I've debated upgrading to a Peloton, since I ride 4 or 5 times a week, but I'm satisfied with the Schwinn. I've ridden Pelotons and the hardware is nicer, but I'm still good with what I have. I've already spent my year's fitness stipend from work on a microformer; maybe I'll upgrade to a Peloton when my stipend resets in 2022 lol

Love my IC4. Especially since the monthly fee for the Peloton app is cheaper then if I had a Peloton.

I bought the IC4 also, based on pea recommendations (it might have been busy). Love it. It has a holder for my tablet, has a nice smooth ride, and is easily adjustable between 6'1" DH and 5'7" me. |

There is a good Facebook group that talks all about different bikes and how to use them with the peloton app. It is called Peloton digital app users

My friend just bought a SUnny Health bike from amazon. I think it is delivered today. She didn't want to be stuck with the $50/month pelaton app fee. I don't know exactly which one she purchased, but she said it had a lot of good reviews on amazon!

I have an Echelon Connect Sport from Walmart. I've had it since the end of Sept and have completed over 50 rides. You can use the bike with the Peloton app which is fantastic. The free Echelon app in freestyle mode will provide the cadence, resistance, total output and distance. You don't need add ons like a Wahoo cadence device.
I highly recommend the bike. It's solid and really popular, sometimes hard to get. You can search the Echelon-Peloton app users group on Facebook. They are a wealth of information.
My fitness level (and lung capacity) have improved greatly since purchasing this bike.

I have an Echelon bike, use the Peloton app and have been very happy. DH bought a treadmill that comes with a free year of ifit which also has bike workouts, but I've yet to try them. I did watch a video by Frugal Fit Mom on Youtube recently about a different bike she chose: Frugal Fit Mom's Bike Hack |
