- Sunny 1805: amzn.to/2KC5aDM ($599, in stock?)
Echelon bike: amzn.to/3hqTwYj ($499, sold out)
Both the Sunny sf-b1805 and echelon connect sport (aka echelon connect ex-15) are priced about the same, and each bike has it's unique pros and cons. In this video we dive in and explore the similarities and differences between the $500 Echelon connect sport from walmart or amazon and compare it to the slightly more expensive $600 Sunny bike model 1805. In a sense this video is a simultaneous Sunny sf-b1805 review and walmart or amazon echelon connect sport review, but I do have more in depth, concise, and thorough reviews on each of these bikes on my channel.
For starters both of these popular peloton alternative bikes are belt drive and magnetic resistance, but the drive train feel on each bike is significantly different due to the flywheel weight on the echelon connect sport compared to the Sunny sf-b1805. The echelon connect flywheel weight is only 15.4 lbs where as the Sunny sf-b1805 has a flywheel weight of 44 lbs, which is more than the peloton bike plus itself and the
echelon connect sport indoor cycling exercise bike.
The echelon bike has the sunny bike beat out of the box in terms of metrics displayed in the stock form. On the echelon connect bike from walmart all you need to do is connect your smart phone and you can download the echelon app and get your metrics for free, you don't get the rides unless you a member though.
On the sunny bike 1805 model you need to attach additional hardware if you want your metrics such as cadence or power output. For some people this may be a big deal since it costs extra money on a bike that's already $100 more out of the gate.
One benefit to the Sunny sf-b1805 is the bike has no electronics so you aren't dependent on any electronics working, or hooking up any power cords to get the full experience of the sunny bike after you assemble it.
I hope this video helps inform you about the Sunny bike model 1805, I will be doing more Sunny sf-b1805 reviews and comparison videos soon.
Both the echelon connect sport indoor cycling exercise bike and sunny bike are good bikes, but both offer different benefits.

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Mathew Wesson instablaster ;)
@Enrique Ruben i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Enrique Ruben It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Mathew Wesson Happy to help xD
Just got the Echelon Connect Sport for Christmas yesterday and I love it. Thanks for sacrificing your wallet for all of these reviews!
Hi, are you still loving it? have you had issues?
@@naturae-studiosum yep still love it. No issues!
Do you find the max resistance is pretty substantial? I cycle quite often like 45km a couple times a week
Hoping the max resistance will be sufficient for a proper workout
@@CheesyNoodlez How is the max resistance? My only concern about this bike is the max resistance isnt high enough.
Thank you. This is the comparison I've been waiting for because initially I wanted the Echelon Sport. However, I'm glad I bought the 1805. I don't worry about cadence and output because I've always rode by matching pace with the instructor so I do that well enough to get a great workout. Also I follow more UA-cam instructors than Peloton so not having the cadence and resistance is no big deal. One thing I really like about the 1805 is you can get a workout with no resistance just by the weight of the flywheel. The 1st 1805 (replaced due to issues with pedals and crank) I also thought I had issues with lack of resistance on high end and I emailed Sunny. They emailed me back and there is a way to adjust the resistance to intensify it. No need on the replacement bike. Thanks for setting my mind at ease on whether I chose wisely with the 1805. I think I did.
wow, i have not even looked at the resistance adjustment yet, thanks for pointing this out!
How did they recommend adjusting the max resistance?
@@stuhrjames The best thing to do if you have that bike is to email Sunny customer service and they will send you the how to. I didn't end up having to adjust it because I exchanged my original bike. But above the resistance device is a section that has 2 nuts, loosen the bottom nut and lower the top nut. I did not do this so I can't get more specific or tell you if it works. Good luck.
@@stuhrjames Also have to hold the resistance nob down while adjusting.
Thank you so much a for all of these comparison videos. After watching them I felt more knowledgeable when doing my own research. I ended up purchasing the 1805 and I'm happy to see you give it a good review.
I hope you have an idea of howwww valuableee your videos are! I’m 6’2 and in the market of purchasing a spin bike (be gone Corona!), and your channel made my decision making process veryyy simple. Especially as a female! 🤣 Every video is so valuable, I’ve been binge watching the others, just commenting now on this one. I am choosing this Sunny model forrrrr sure. I also value the higher resistance in a bike. Your efforts are so appreciated!!!! Thank you for making this available for us! 💜
Great to see other long inseam riders doing reviews for us. This is the most important issue for me is comfort...not being limited to everything's max and still being short
Just purchased the Sunny 1805. Unfortunately couldn't use the link because I'm in Canada, but thanks for this review & comparison. This video and others helped me make my decision - found them very informative. I am also 6'5 so each of your reviews fell in line with my needs. Keep up the good work!
Getting the sunny as I am also a giraffe. Not being able to get the saddle up to the correct height is a non-starter. Love these videos
You should put all your scores up on the screen at the end of your videos so we have context for all your past work
Thank you for mentioning you are 6'5", that helps me out a LOT!
Ready for that sunny vs sunny bike comparison!
Coming very soon, may film tomorrow
TailHappyTV yay !! I’m still doing my research on which one to get ..your videos have been so helpful
My Sunny Synergy Magnetic has a monitor that includes cadence with a 30 lb flywheel. - to + is 7 full turns. What I do is use two full turns as my base leaving 5 full turns. I consider each half turn from base as 10%. Thus 1.5 turns from base would be 30%, etc. That works for me while doing Peloton.
I recently got the Synergy Pro and the readout is great. I still haven't done the math on resistance though.
How does this work? You use the readout for your heart, speed, and resistance? Then use another tablet or tv for the app for the program you want to use? Do you have to have your phone attached to Sunny's app for the readout? I see some of the bikes say they're smart bikes and can connect to their app. Does the readout work independently of the app(via batteries or plug)? Thanks
I was looking for this comparison forever! Thanks a lot!
Thank you again for such quality reviews. Still saving up for the perfect option. Just when I think I know, I see another review from you. 🤣
I love your videos! Thank you so much for the honest reviews and comparisons! They are very helpful in defining what I want in an indoor bike. Which would you choose between the Joroto x2 and Sunny 1805? I've read some amazon reviews stating the the Joroto belt starts to flake and makes a grinding sound after a week or two. Makes me nervous to buy one. Have you been riding your Joroto since your review videos? Thank you for all your help!
I've watched at least 10 of your videos and spent time on the web. I'm deadlocked between the Echelon Connect Sport and Sunny 1805. Will be using with peleton app, someone help lol
lol, trade offs. the big difference is seeing power output vs better drivetrain feel/higher max resistance
Love your channel, recently subbed. Looking into buying a cycling bike. Saw the Sunny SF-B1851 on sale at sunny’s website. May jump on that. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I debated long and hard between this sunny and the synergy pro 1851. The 1805 is better in the following: 1805 has forward and backward adjusting handlebars, and micro adjustments for raising and lowering hand bars and seat, so better adjustments. Also the 1805 has a slightly heavier flywheel, and the magnetic resistance on the 1805 "pinches" the flywheel on the sides instead of a single magnet stack on top. In my observation magnetic resistance that punches the flywheel tends to have a higher max resistance, it's the way the higher end bikes do it. The synergy has those pulse sensors, but they only work if your hands are on them whereas a heart rate monitor can be purchased pretty cheap and works regardless of hand position and also can track stats with apps. Theres a lot more but that's all I have for ya for now.
@@TailHappyTV wow thank you so much for that comprehensive comparison. I think you sold me on which one to get. Thank you so much! Sunny, sponsor this man’s channel!!!
Would it be possible for you to link the clip in attachment to add to the sunny pedal
@@KevtheMetsFan dude, I've searched the net a to z, only place I could find was ebay from china for $25, not worth it at that price, maybe a local bike shop.
This comment and reply saved me from having any doubts on buying the 1805, i also saw the 1851 on sale for like 640ish, but the 1805 for 600 on Amazon, thanks.
Really great reviews, but I would like to see cranks being added into the reviews. You don't even mention them. Like how beefy or well made they seem to be.
The Sunny 1805 is now $749 so that basically seals the deal for me on the Echelon Connect for $497 on Walmart site. I may also purchase the assembly for $89 so I don’t have to bother with putting it together.
The sunny 1805 $599 right now on Walmart. I'm looking into both
Vanessa Correia I ended up going with the Echelon Connect. If I would have seen that price the other day for the 1805 I probably would have gotten it. They assemble my bike on Sunday.
First, bless you for making these reviews. Second,I had a question for you about the distance between the seat and the handle bars. I am 5'3'' and on some bikes the distance between these two feels a bit far. Do you think the 1805 is good for shorter people? Specifically in relation to the seat/handle bar distance. Thank you :)
Did you decided? I’m having the same issue. I’ve watched prolly every review he’s done and he always ignore the questions about shorter ppl. But to my understanding the 1805 have a adjustable handrail that moves forward. Or that’s at least what he said in comparison to the jarato
Can you link the cleats that we can add on to the pedals for the sunny bike?
Hi. Loving your vids and your efforts to be fair on each comparison.
I am strongly leaning towards the sunny 1805. But the metric are very important to me. I understand I can get the wahoo cadence as an extra. But what about knowing my resistance. The classes I take always move between resistances.
Can you advise me?
Out of these two bikes which one feels closer to riding a road bike? Thanks for the reviews
Thanks for the awesome reviews. What about the 1805 vs 1879 I want to get into cycling it’s a choice between the 2. I have an opportunity to purchase a used 1879 for $375. What’s your take?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
and great review as always!
Thank you! How is set up out of box? Maybe you've covered that and I missed it. If so, sorry. Thx for info!
Have you ever reviewed the Spinning Spinner Blade? Do you have a video? What are your thoughts?
Whoa! The Sunny 1805 is now priced at $769 on Amazon.
Damn, got it for 600 on Amazon this week.
I thought the Echelon Connect Sport was a 250lb capacity bike according to Walmart's website
Walmart had listed it as 250lb capacity and 300lb capacity verified that is if fact a 300lb capacity
When are you doing the comparison for the 1805 vs the IC4??
What is your idea about Sunny SF-B1913 Comparing with echelon connect sport?
Hey were any of your Sunny Bikes hard to assemble? I'm having trouble with the bolts using the allen wrench it came with. IT seems that they made it too tight to loosen it... had to do a return and reorder since literally could not unscrew it at all. Messed up my hand in the process.
Hands down Echelon is a TN company. That is where I would spend my $. The other is 💯 comm china
Can you review the Pooboo indoor cycling bike? It cost about $300. Just bought it, but I’m a novice and not sure if I have a quality product.
Sunn 1805 have a Smart version now. 1805Smart but its $799 😢
Do you have a source for the add on pedal clips? I’d really like to add them to mine.
How do i connect blue tooth lost my manual book on the Echelon
Thank you for the video
Really *hoping* for comparison of Sunny 1805 and 1002 to build mock peloton. I’ll take just comment recommendation 😀 I’m afraid to commit until I get feedback from someone, help! 😂
Video coming soon, but here's my quick comment, get the 1805 if you can afford it, it's one of the best magnetic resistance bang for the buck bikes I've been on. Smooth resistance and great max resistance. The 1002 is a great value but magnetic resistance is simply better. Also the 1805 is better for micro adjustment and 4 way adjustable and built in tablet holder. Both are quality machines.
@@TailHappyTV yay, thanks!!
The price for Sunny 1805 is up substantially: $769 as of Jan 6.
Sunny 1805 vs 1709 and the winner vs Keiser ?
Which one is the quietest ?
Thanks
put canadian amazon links too! Lots of indoor cyclists in the freezing north
Hello I’m looking to purchase the 1805, but I’m wondering if there is a device like the cadence sensor that can tell you theoretical distance travelled ??
Thanks for great videos
Echelon bike is great but Echelon app sucks....bigtime.
You do not need two separate devices to run a Peleton class and see your Echelon metrics at the same time. What you need to do is upgrade your electronic devices to an Android 10 or higher. You can open both apps and view them either in a split screen mode or a picture in picture window. Sucks to be you using that useless Apple crap technology.
