Have you ever wondered if you can take the data and settings stored in your Echelon app and use it on a bike other than the one you have at home? Have you ever wanted to use your Echelon app with another brand of bike? These days the environment in which we exercise and work out is much different, and technology plays a large impact in that. With a global pandemic in our rearview mirror, having a flexible exercise option at home can be very enticing.

You can use the Echelon app with a different bike. To do so, simply open the app and input your username and password and then connect to the bike. To use the Echelon app with a different brand of bike, use the Freestyle functionality included in the app.

Echelon’s goal was to develop the next generation of stationary bikes while allowing the flexibility to use your favorite devices to enjoy the optimal fitness experience. Bluetooth technology allows the Connect bike to be the most advanced, well-built, and best value smart stationary bike available. Read on to discover how you can use the Echelon membership to work for your fitness needs.

Can I Use the App Without an Echelon Bike?

You can use the app in the Freestyle area (go to more sections of the app).  The bike will give you your stats without a subscription via the Freestyle rides. You can ride the Freestyle rides and see the stats during and after the ride, but they will not be saved in the Progress Area. If you join the FitPass program, it will save to the Progress Area, providing you with a history of your rides/workouts.

What is the Echelon Connect Bike?

The Echelon bike is very similar to the Peloton but less well-known. It’s a stationary bike with a screen where you can participate in live and on-demand virtual classes with Echelon instructors. Echelon offers additional workout classes such as Barre, Pilates, Zumba, and HIIT that are available through its FitPass membership. Later in the article, you will learn more about what a FitPass membership can offer.
