Amazon is offering the Echelon Smart Connect Fitness Bike for *$499.99 shipped*. This is a brand-new partnership between Echelon and Amazon, offering one of the only ways to enter the ecosystem without spending $840 to pick up a fitness bike direct. If you find that you’re spending more time indoors than normal with everything going on, and heading to the gym isn’t an option right now, picking up the Echelon Smart Connect Fitness Bike will help you stay in shape without ever leaving home. In our roundup of the best choices for those who can’t buy a Peloton, we called the Echelon “a close alternative.” Amazon includes a 30-day trial to the Echelon connected experience, which lets you find out if the service is a good fit for your workout routines.
