I Bought a Rogue Echo Bike and Now I'm Selling It - Review 

Just started using my echobike for HIIT intervals. I’m addicted to gasping for breath in near panic, feeling as though I have COPD. It definitely fills a spot that weight training did not. It’s helped my weight training too.

Love your vids bro they were a big influence for my own powerlifting training and home gym set up

Great video as always. Thanks for all the advice, it has me more than you know.

I was between the peloton and echo. Went with the echo. Don’t regret it. Very versatile cardio equipment

I'm more surprised when Brandon buys something, and actually keeps it!

Great video as always Brandon ! Thanks for all your content brotha.

Perfect review! Its important to tell every aspects of a piece of equipment and give different perspectives as to who is it for instead of just saying "its great! get it!". Everyone needs are different and mentioning it is what makes your reviews so excellent!

I had no idea it was so heavy. That’s a solid piece! Literally

Rogue's shipping sure seems to be like random acts of violence lately. I love their stuff, but for smaller things they just kill you. Every time I look at something I cringe when I go to the cart because you can never guess if shipping is going to be $25 or $375, it seems completely random.

I've been using my Echo for aerobic work of 60 to 90 minutes at a time. It's perfectly fine for this. Dude, you kind of complain a lot over trivial issues! And yes, I traded out the granny seat for a road bike seat. I agree with you, the Echo is a perfect overall cardio conditioning piece of gear that is best for interval work. You can jack your heart rate very. very quickly.

I like my echo bike. It's fine for longer cardio too. I go through periods where I do just legs, then legs and arms. What I like is that it forces you to keep the output going and really cant't coast. Oh, and I just screwed in the phone holder sideways.

The $60 used Airdyne you get from a grandma on Craigslist will whoop your ass all the same as that $800 bike.

I have one and love it. I use it in what I call the "Pain Trifecta", a 3 mile run, a 30 minute uphill treadmill walk with a 50 pound weight vest, followed by 200 calories on the echo bike. Fun!

Great review B!👍🏾🚴🏾‍♂️💪🏾🤑

great review! very helpful!

Brandon two points i disagree with. One- i usually hate the seats on bikes at the gym and prefer normal bicycle seats, but I love the seat on this bike. And Two- it is totally underrated for endurance work. Once you master holding a certain cadence by the tempo of your feet and sound of the fan, it is just about exactly like every other cardio machine out there. I absolutely love this thing and use it for HIIT, LISS, and warmups. Like it more than ever cardio machine the gym has to offer. And it is so unlikely to break down or require maintenance! And i can exhaust myself even quicker than with a prowler! Built my home gym this year and this was the superstar purchase.

I have an assault bike and love it, just ordered the Echo bike aka BEAST and can’t wait for it to deliver!

Thank you tall sir for your thoughts, I don't mind no wind guard on mine since it will wake me up in my cold garage gym and reminds me of my youth growing up in Alaska where mother moose used to chase me while walking. I like the look of it in my gym as well and the warm up/hiit factor. Till next time , Ta Ta

HI my name is Brandon, and I'm addicted to home gym equipment...... :) Build quality on this thing is SUPER BEAST! Love your Reviews

I love my Echo Bike. I’ve had it for 3 years. We have a Peleton as well but can’t imagine using that as a warm up. We have a Concept 2 rower that I’m contemplating on selling though 🤔🤔🤔

Hell yeah! I was thinking about getting one too.

Great review, thanks.

Great video! And wow 130lbs, that's really good they offered free shipping for it.

I just bought it a month ago. Love it.

Love that the weight comparison for shipping costs was 35lb plates 😂😂😂

I've been using the 20 seconds of work 10 seconds of rest interval setting lately. The only good thing about it is that you never have to be on the bike for more than 10 minutes.

Garage gyms remain in flux; our needs change and we adapt. Nice review!

Haha. The exact same story with me. I bought a peloton and sold my Echo. It's a great bike and my colleague who got it is very very happy with it.

Great review! Super glad you mentioned Peloton at the end because I’m thinking about getting one for my wife and me to use. My wife wouldn’t use an Echo or fan bike if I ever got one. Would you do consider doing a review or providing thoughts on Peloton? I’d appreciate your perspective as someone who mainly lifts but wants to get some regular/consistent cardio into my routine.

Got this and the C2 Bikeerg, definitely prefer the Bikeerg for longer rides

I got one late January in Canada. It took less than a week to get here and free shipping. Rogues shipping has been really impressive from my experience. Also snagged the wind guard a couple days after I ordered the bike.

Like the perspective, 2 bikes... both have high levels of quality but most people will only keep one, so keep the more versatile one.

Bought a used Schwinn airdyne for $50 !!! Great bike does the job and love this !

I'm looking at the Schwinn Pro and Echo. Had an Assault but I feel it was built slightly crooked as my right inner foot/heel always hit the bike. Which is why I sold it. Never had that issue on actual road bikes. I really liked the bike besides that issue. And loved doing intervals and getting cramps/nausea. I don't want a SkiErg Which do you think is best?

I thought you were going to put in some links for some recommendations on steady state bikes? Maybe some recommendations for cardio equipment.

I saw you commented on Joel review for the blitz air bike 2.0. did you get a chance to get your hands on one yourself?

Still available? I'm local and can pick up

Man... your videos never disappoint. I tossed a coin between the Echo and a Concept2 Rower. Went with the Rower and this video made me feel better about my choice.

Nice. My wife and I are thinking about doing the same thing. Did you go with the Bike or Bike +?

Great points. Hey Rogue, will you please run your builds by Brandon to save us all the headaches.

Brandon is looking beefy in that rep hoodie. I need to get one of those 😂

i would never sell mine, but your review is pretty accurate in terms of how it "feels" like it wants to be used, if that makes sense. This really isn't a great bike for low RPM ride or something you are going to stay on for an hour, though I have done it. The Concept 2 Bike Erg is way better for this and it has bluetooth so you can use it with riding games/apps like Zwift. The one comment I will make vs something like the peleton, is that all that tech can be very frustrating when you're trying to get a quick workout in and it wants to do updates or just has an issue in general. I lost count of how many times my high tech treadmill delayed my work out 20 minutes to do something like this. Also, brands like Concept 2 will have replacement parts for years if not decades. If you have an issue with a Bowflex treadmill, you will be lucky if they have the part in 3-4 years, as they will have moved on in producing newer models (can't speak for Peleton, but I suspet it will be similar). The basic design on the Concept 2 Rower, for example, has not change in decades. But i agree with the sentiment of what Brandon is saying- if you only have a budget, space, or desire for a single piece of cardio equipment, this is probably not the best choice.

I am able to use the phone holder both portrait and landscape. The bottom tab helps to put the phone in landscape mode. I have an iPhone.

You mentioned everything you do on the air bike you can do on the peloton. Unless you’re pumping hand weights, which to me feels clumsy on the peloton, how are you getting good arms/upper body intervals?

Dunno why, but I love your fitness reviews the most of anyone

I’m unfortunately considering selling mine as well. I bought one of these recently and while it’s an excellent piece of equipment, no matter how much I adjust the seat, I get knee pain after I use it. I’ve used other types of stationary bikes in the past without issues, so I’m not exactly sure what makes this bike’s setup different to where I experience that pain every time.

Thanks for the info Brandon. Im in the market and vacillating between the Rogue Echo and the Peloton. Having used both of these now, would you recommend one over the other if it were just you and not your wife using the bike?And of the two, which takes up less floor space, is the floor space difference significant enough to consider? Thanks.

Interesting video. I am kind of in the same situation - purchased a NordicTrack bike and also have the Echo Bike. Was looking to sell it but talked myself out of it. May actually look to sell it again.

have it - use to for steady state - bit boring but doable. Like all air resistance flywheel stuff (concept rowers) - great for intervals but hr long stuff is achievable if you can resist the boredom

I do a lot of more serious training on a regular bicycle trainer. It's kind of interesting that you would want a wind guard on one of these when for most serious cycling training, you can't get enough air blowing over you. lol

"If this is in a cold garage/basement during winter That could be a deal-breaker" BARZ

As much as you flip equipment, I wish we lived in the same town 😂

I have just purchased one of these from the Europe store for the UK. Have not got it yet, but am really looking forward to it. I intend to use it for HIIT sessions as well as longer rides. I had a spine bike a while ago, but hardly every used it, so sold it on eBay.

Hey brandon what bar would your recomment to buy in europe. Is it worth to spent €350 on a rogue bar

How well does this bike work for longer threshold steady state riding at 140-160 heart rate? Is it still pretty quiet at that speed?

I’m thinking of selling mine for the bikeerg as well , how much did you resell for ?

Hey Brandon, can you make a video on how to sell your equipment? I bought some stuff that I want to sell and I'm not sure how I can do it safely, etc. Cash, paypal? Do you meet them at your house or somewhere else, etc? Craigslist, FB, etc?

I cant wait to laugh at the next nerd I hear use the word "pedals"!

Just got mine yesterday! It took me months and months to finally decide. It’s pricey. But I like it so far. How much did u sell it for?

I really love airdynn’s but I live in a apartment, do u think I could use this in a apartment building?

I agree if you’re just using it to warmup or cool down and not doing tabata type drills, you don’t need to spend $800+. you can spend a lot less and be happy. Otherwise, if you use as its purpose was intended for the echo bike will murder you and make you say uncle. I also sold mine and use our treadmill for warmups etc

Would you recommend this over and elliptical? I'm wanting something primarily for conditioning

Thinking about this to replace an elliptical that takes up 3/4 of my bedroom.

What's your go-to method of hanging all your posters and flags on the concrete walls?

I love this bike, I use it for steady state cardio all the time.

Does the REP jacket come with the Superman muscle inserts?

I love cardio equipment. I've got a treadmill, C2 rower and bikeerg and also contemplating on buying the echo bike.

I'm impatient so apologies of it's already covered-whats the difference between the Echo and the Assault bike?

so whats a good steady state thats low impact but still good at burning calories?

Spring cleaning 🧹

Haven’t started the video yet, paused it on the ad. Are you selling it because of the Peloton? Lol

Soooo are you gonna do a Peloton video soon?

I love my Echo Bike. It is thr single best purchase i have ever made.

So early that Brandon hasn’t sold it yet 😂

Are you able to drop some weight and get in shape doing 5 minute HITT workouts on the echo bike

Just found out your 6' 4"! What the hell?! You're a beast! Good review too 😅

Not sure you will see this but do you mind me asking what Peloton bike you got??

Rogue should make a cheaper version of the Keiser Full Body Trainer using silent progressive magnetic resistance. It also increases resistance that harder you pedal using both arms and legs but is totally silent. However the Keiser is far more expensive at well over $2,000. I guarantee an affordable magnetic "air bike" would be a massive seller.

I find it great for solid state cardio, prefer it to the concept 2

Do you mitigate radon? If so, what're your levels? If you don't know, check out the Airthings Wave Plus.

I love the Rogue Echo Bike. It is amazing and totally worth it.

I just got one of these and when you add on accessories they make you pay shipment. I thought that was weird.

unrelated but has anyone actually successfully bolted on the rep lat pull down to a rogue rack, some attachments are slightly off with rep to rogue so just wondering

I’ll buy it!

Lol at using the 35s for the shipping comparison

Good review, I respectfully disagree about not working the 3 energy systems with the Echo bike. I guess it depends on individual goals.

Who do you ride with on your peloton rides?

I appreciate that Brandon gets rid of shit and explains why. If it doesn't work for him then why keep it. 👍🏻

Rogue website states Blender Bottles fit in that cup holder. Is that 20oz bottle you demonstrated a Blender Bottle? I'm looking to add the cup holder, but pointless to do so if it won't even fit a 20oz Blender Bottle.

Coop and his soft hands

How loud is this bike? Do you think it can be used in an apartment building?

The extended seat rub shot made me real uncomfortable lol

don't mean to be that guy but why get one of these instead of a road bike? Is it just so you're closer for HIIT? I know my HS has one but I just don't understand it. Cool gym too

Do you think this is the the most effective exercise for fat burning?

What about your arms and upper frame? the peleton doesnt work your arms.

Bought my echo bike for 375 off some dude who obviously didn’t know what he had or didn’t care

How hard is it to assemble?

Created a #basementbrandon on Peloton for you brotha.

Can a 5’1 woman use this? I heard the seat does not size down for short people

8:42 - I had the same epiphany with my Concept2 Rower and replaced it with a Rogue Froning SR-1F Speed Rope on Matte Black Friday.
