*Updated 13MARCH2021 – I got the Echelon EX-5S. It only took 7 days to arrive.
Input wanted.
These prices are for the bike only and do not reflect the cost of the Echelon FitPass membership.
I do not want to have to manually adjust tension.
I’m not Lance Armstrong, I don’t need a bike that leans.

Many reviews seem to want to make a big deal over the price difference. Like, “If you have a tablet then the price difference doesn’t make sense.”
Really? Your tablet has a 22″ screen? However, if you want internet/programming aside from the classes then there may be a point. I’ve got a large TV in that room hooked to Amazon Fire TV.
EX-5 1,239.98 – 15% = 1,053.98
EX-5s 1,639.98 – 15% = 1,393.98
Difference = 340 + 2-3 weeks
