PelotonIndoor Exercise Bikes, Original Peloton Bike and Bike+

My wife and I are both retirees but we have done Spin for years. We decided to purchase a Peloton partly because it is sometimes just not as easy or convenient for us to get to the gym for classes as it was when we were younger. This is a beautiful bike and we anticipate enjoying it for many years to come. As stellar as this bike is, however, we must offer even higher accolades to the delivery techs who brought the bike to our home, assembled and made sure that it was performing to our satisfaction. If the bike itself only turns out to be only half as awesome as these two techs, then my wife and I will be very pleased. OH, they also removed the packaging and heavy box in which Pelaton ships their bikes. That was a big help, too. Kudos to Amazon for making these beautiful bikes available at a very reasonable price point. Even more so given its seamless delivery and assembly by two highly professional yet very down to earth technicians. Thank you!

Ok, so I have owned a regular Peleton bike before - this one was $300 off. Only took a couple of hours to assemble, as I was methodical about it. Open the box, lay out everything in a logical order (based on when parts are needed in the directions) and you will have no issues. I had no problem laying the bike on the side, and raising it back up. I'm a 66 yr old male just 6 weeks out from hernia surgery. The bike is shipped incredibly well packed, believe me. A couple of bonuses - you get all the necessary tools, including a great pedal wrench they do not give you on a fully assembled bike you purchase from Peleton. A full bag of spare bolts, screws etc is included also. No scratches etc if you are careful with it. I would do this again in an instant!

My monitor stopped working after five months. Looks like this happens a lot after reading many reviews. I’m in the process of trying to reboot and refresh the system, but nothing seems to work. I’m stuck on a black screen with only the P showing. Discontinuous loop seems to be an ongoing problem with many.Looks like a new one’s going to cost $450 but I can’t seem to find one.I’m in the process of using the app on my TV because I really love the bike.Updating my review, I was able to get a hold of a great peloton service representative. We went through the verification of my monitor to find out that it had a bad ship and a new one is on the way.Thanks, peloton!

Three faulty bikes is too many. The first bike had a bent seat and potentially a bent seat post. The second bike had a faulty pedal that wouldn’t screw in. The third had a bent frame making it impossible to balance and pedal consistently. I’m not sure if this is a batch issue or the new normal for Peloton. Nonetheless it seems there has definitely been a decline in product quality.I regularly rode a peloton bike that was purchased before 2019. It was an amazing bike. The quality and smoothness of the ride I felt was unbeatable. Unfortunately the bike was not mine. I took a few years off from peloton and focused on outdoor cycling. Eventually I bought a Concept2 BikeErg to avoid Peloton’s $44/month membership fee. While the air resistance on the Concept2 is definitely different than Peloton’s magnetic resistance I was relatively satisfied with my purchase. It wasn’t until recently that I wanted something better suited for interval training. I had finally invested in my own Peloton bike. After receiving three faulty Peloton bikes I was unforgettably disappointed with my purchase and will never purchase another Peloton.I contacted Peloton about my experience with little to no resolution of the issue. They just didn’t seem to care about my primary complaint. Even after I expressed this situation would inevitable result in me never buying another Peloton, I received no response. Thankfully Amazon’s return policy is relatively hassle free otherwise this whole ordeal would have been a nightmare. Amazon’s free assembly is also a great perk but it’s important to note they are not product experts. Biking can take some getting used to but if your bike doesn’t feel right after set up it could be a faulty product.If you decide to purchase a Peloton I truly hope this isn’t your experience.

You will see results. Try not to use regular sneakers if your workout calls for you to peddle off the seat and you have weak ankles.At my age (67) I opted for shoe cages instead of the click in shoes. Loving the 20 minute classic rock sessions!!!

Expensive but a great bike it’s sturdy and well made. The guys assembled and removed all packaging materials.

Love the bike. Wasn’t the easiest to assemble but the instructions and tooling was super helpful easier than IKEA furniture just heavier. My only complaint thus far is it doesn’t sync my workouts with my Garmin watch which is a big deal for me I thought I read somewhere that they sync but it seems biased towards Apple Watch. Also it really needs fans I bought some afterMarket ones but Peloton should consider that for future models. The auto adjustment is awesome I would not enjoy changing the resistance every minute manually. The software is very user friendly and very easy to navigate. Again only complaint so far is no Garmin connection.

After much pondering…decided to purchase this Peloton bike. Well packaged and great care made to ensure no damage in-transit. Instructions were a bit lacking, but I was able to find several videos online that gave step-by-step assembly instructions. Very happy with my purchase. Now if I would just use it more often… :)
