Do Echelon bikes work with Zwift?

[madeinmanc]

There's a used Echelon bike near me that I'm interested in but I was wondering if you can use it with Zwift? I've never actually used Zwift myself, I've just heard it mentioned, that's all.

Or if it's not a great fit, what would you recommend? Peleton? But they are £££

Nope. Neither will Peleton. They are both nothing more than stupidly overpriced spin bikes.

If you want to zwift on an exercise bike you'll need something like a Tacx or Watt bike. They are very expensive though!! You've either gotta be loaded or seriously committed!

It'd be cheaper to buy a lower end smart turbo trainer to put an existing bike on. Or. Buy a secondhand road bike, just for indoor training.

Two different things really
I have a peloton and the classes are the draw of it - you can do them on demand or live, everything from spin to weights to yoga
The instructors are what keep me coming back and it's genuinely the best thing I've ever bought
