The best part? You don't even need to be an Amazon Prime member to get a lot of these deals.

This bike also has its own app offering live and on-demand classes, plus scenic rides. The Echelon EX-3 comes with a free 30-day trial, after that it costs $40 per month. One subscription accommodates up to five users, which allows for competition between family and friends.
