Bowflex VeloCore
While the Bowflex VeloCore is comparable in price to the Peloton Bike and Bike+, it has a distinctive design that you won't find in other smart bikes: it leans from side to side. The swinging motion of the bike provides a serious core exercise in addition to delivering a more genuine biking experience. The bike also offers 100 magnetic resistance levels for a comfortable, quiet, and adaptable riding. The bike also comes with a Bluetooth heart rate armband and a pair of 3-pound (1.4-kg) dumbbells as a bonus. Your purchase also includes a one-year JRNY membership, which you can keep after your trial finishes for $149 per year.
The VeloCore has adjustable seat and dual-sided pedals. Just bear in mind that the seat isn't very comfortable. If you wish, you can purchase a more comfy seat cover. It's also worth mentioning that the HD touch screen comes in two sizes: 16-inch and 22-inch. The 22-inch model is around $500 more expensive, but it includes free shipping.
