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!

The media could not be loaded. My bike+ has had issues from the day I got it. The handle bars wobble despite the plastic sleeve being replaced by Peloton’s tech, the screws are stripped and/or missing, the pedals clicked until I had a part replaced, and the front bearings don’t track straight and are already wearing. The bike is two months old and has had these issues since the get-go. The tech who came out from Peloton told me that the bike never should have passed quality control and recommended replacement. When I forwarded his report and recommendation to Peloton, they emailed me and told me that I have to get a replacement from Amazon. When I went online to request a replacement from Amazon, they said that I have to request the replacement from Peloton. I’ve sat on hold trying to contact someone at Peloton, to no avail. I am really hoping that Peloton will come through, step up their customer service, and provide a replacement, but unfortunately at this point, I absolutely would not recommend purchasing a Peloton via their Amazon site.10/8/23 Update: the process to return and replace my defective bike has been a really frustrating one. Amazon would not let me do an exchange, so I had to purchase a second bike and return the original, which I did three weeks ago. Amazon scheduled a return pickup for 9/29, but their carrier never showed up. Instead I got a text that they would actually show up today 10/8, which didn’t work with my schedule. On 10/2, I called Amazon and re-scheduled pickup for 10/9. Today I got a call from their carrier saying they couldn’t come today (meaning Amazon never cancelled the 10/8 pickup) and telling me that there was never a pickup scheduled for 10/9. After an hour on the phone with Amazon today, the pickup is now scheduled for a week and a half from now. The return window closes soon, and given the issues with Amazon and its carrier, I’m really worried that they won’t show up on time and I’ll be penalized by Amazon. I would definitely recommend avoiding purchasing this bike from Amazon.

Great bike with a nice visual screen. If you sign up with a subscription, there are great tutorials for all experience levels. A bit pricey on a monthly subscription though.

I wasn’t sure about this purchase but I’m so glad I decided to get it! Peloton bike is such a fun way to workout! Plus Amazon offers a free service for delivery and installation which was so amazing!!

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.

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!!!
