Peloton is recalling about 833,000 of its original Bike+ machines after reports that some seatposts broke during use, according to US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The CPSC says Peloton has received three complaints about the issue, including two incidents in which users were injured.
The affected Bike+ units were sold between January 2020 and April 2025. The CPSC is warning Peloton users to “discontinue use of the recalled exercise bikes immediately.”
“The integrity of our products and the well-being of our members are our top priorities,” Márcio Oliveira, Peloton’s VP of global hardware operations and product security, said in a statement emailed to TechCrunch. “We are taking this opportunity to make replacement seatposts available to all affected Bike+ users and encourage them to contact us to obtain the redesigned seatpost as soon as possible.”
This isn’t the first time Peloton has issued a recall. The company recalled about 2.2 million exercise bikes for safety reasons in 2023 after reports of customer injuries.
Thursday’s recall marks the latest setback for Peloton, which replaced its CEO and laid off hundreds of workers last year. The company is scheduled to release its latest earnings report on Thursday amid efforts to revive growth after sales slumped following the pandemic. Since reaching its peak in January 2021, Peloton stock has fallen more than 90%.
As part of the company’s efforts to revive its operations, Peloton recently announced his biggest release in years. The company revamped its entire hardware lineup and launched Peloton IQ, an artificial intelligence and computer vision system that provides personalized guidance to users.
Peloton’s new Cross Training line includes five connected fitness devices: Cross Training Bike, Bike+, Tread, Tread+ and Row+. Each features an advanced rotating display for easy transitions between cardio, strength, yoga, Pilates, barre and more. As for Peloton IQ, the tool offers goal-based coaching tailored to a user’s fitness level, along with performance tracking, progress information and real-time feedback.
Peloton’s focus on artificial intelligence marks the company’s first major product shift under CEO Peter Stern, a former Apple and Ford executive who took the helm in January.
