I have the blitz bike and now I'm looking to replace it because there's been nothing but issues since day 1. It's gotten so unreliable to the point that it's almost unusable because the belt is making all kinds of noise and grinding. It's going to be a big project and time wasting just to take it apart to inspect due to the way the cage is put on there. We buy an exercise equipment to workout not to work on the equipment itself. Hence, this is why I'm now comparing the Rogue echo and Assault pro x.
Yeah that’s frustrating I’m sure. We have had our Echo bikes for 4 years and they get sued all day with group classes and personal training sessions and we have had zero issues!
I'm a 5'1 and 1/2" tall woman, 124 pounds. I heard it may be too big of a reach for a 5' woman, but the Air Dyne is not enough of a challenge for me. I would love the Echo Rouge to work for my stature. Thoughts?
I have clients the same size as you that are able to use the Echo Bike. It has a lot of adjustability so it works for just about anyone. The fan is also much more challenging than Air Dyne so that will be good!
Thanks. I got the bike and love it, except the only problem for me is the seat. It doesn't go forward enough, so it hurts my crotch because I'm sitting out on the end, and it's not flat like the AIRDYNE seat. Already trying other seats until I find the right one.
Having used a Schwinn Air Dyne for 20 years before the Rogue, I totally agree that the Rogue is designed for HIIT which is the only thing I use it for. I would ride my AirDyne for almost an hour. The AirDyne HIIT against the Rouge isn't even close in my opinion. The Rogue will kick your butt a lot more.
I want a bike that i can sort of chill on for 10 minutes then do high intensity last 2 minutes. Im kind of thinking this bike not be for that purpose, but i am tempted!
@Jordan Schaeffer Fitness thanks for the response. You can do low intensity for 10 minutes on the rogue? Of course, I'd also utilize it for high intensity, but would like a bike for both...
@@widowsson8192 I have been thinking about the Concept 2 Bike erg for 15-30 minutes LISS and also being able to do HIIT stuff too. If you've bought the Echo bike already would love your thoughts for the LISS work
Any mechanic will tell you that chain drive lasts better than belt drive. Don't take my word for it. He compared it to a car. Belt drive systems on a car run accessories. But when it comes down to timing chains on an interference engine, chains vs belts.... chains win all day, everyday. 💁🏽♂️
But this isn’t a car. Talk to the people who have gone 6 years without maintenance on their belt drive bike. Try that with a chain drive bike and it would be broke down in the corner. Bottom line is chain drive requires much more maintenance and preventative maintenance then a belt drive bike. It’s not even debatable when it comes to air bikes.
@@mr_red13 I actually will have a couple videos coming soon Bike Erg Vs. Echo and Assault Vs. Echo. I think they both are awesome. The echo bike is great for high intensity intervals which is time efficient. The Bike Erg can still be used for intervals but is really awesome for warming up and more aerobic work

I bought mine during lockdown
It really was great at the time
Doesn’t take long to get a killer workout! 💪

Thanks for your reply. Do the shorter girls who can reach the pedals, have a harder time with the handles being up too high?
i’m 4’10. the lowest chair settings is never enough. my crotch hurts all the time

Thanks for the feedback Scott. Agree with you totally!
I just bought it, and the seat is so uncomfortable. I don’t know how people sit on it for more than 10-15 minutes.
Great video!
Thank you!
Should come with energy storage from all them watts we can power our homes
Not a bad idea!
I want a bike that i can sort of chill on for 10 minutes then do high intensity last 2 minutes. Im kind of thinking this bike not be for that purpose, but i am tempted!
I would recommend this bike or Concept 2 Bike Erg. Either one you can’t go wrong with it!
@Jordan Schaeffer Fitness thanks for the response. You can do low intensity for 10 minutes on the rogue? Of course, I'd also utilize it for high intensity, but would like a bike for both...
@@widowsson8192 yes you could do a mixture of both in either one you just have to keep wattage lower and it will work!

Solar panels come with the bike?

I'm sure that it true. Video comparisons of chain air bikes (e.g., Assault) confirms that the belts are quieter.

Would you prefer this over the BikeErg?
Both are awesome! Depends what kind of training you’re doing. What do you want to use a bike for in your training?
@@jordanschaefferfitness I just want one machine for cardio. I have small kids and am time restricted at the moment.

@@jordanschaefferfitness thanks man!
@@mr_red13 You bet! 😎
I’m 325 6ft 1. Just ordered one and hoping to stop being fat sack of crap. Time for a change.

@jordanschaefferfitness I know it says max weight is 350 but do you think it's strong enough to hold more?
@@guy15124 it’s built really well. I’d say it could support 400 but not much more
@@guy15124 yes I think it could hold more. This bike is built extremely well!
Umm I saw strongmen from Game of Thrones use this and they got nooo issues and I know those guys are 350 minimum to 450lbs
