Carrying a few extra pounds after Thanksgiving? Now’s a good time to grab a new exercise bike, thanks to this pre-Holiday sale.

The Echelon Connect EX3 is just $539 on Amazon right now (and Walmart has it for the same price, too.) That’s a huge saving of $460, more than 45% off the original price.

Unlike Peloton exercise bikes, the Echelon Connect EX3 doesn’t have a touchscreen to view workout content on. This is part of what makes it less expensive than the alternative. But it’s only marginally less convenient — just place your device on the tablet mount and you’re ready to go.

Another great thing about the Echelon Connect EX3 is its versatility. The handlebars can be flipped 180 degrees, which means you can do off-bike workouts without having the bike in the way of the screen. The position of the seat can also be widely adjusted, making it easy to get the perfect fit, and the same goes for the adjustable toe cages on the pedals.

Last off, the bike has a scratch-resistant frame and slip-resistant handlebars. Peloton is popular for a reason, but if you want a more budget-friendly alternative, Echelon won’t disappoint.
