Peloton is recalling around 833,000 of its original Bike+ machines following reports that some seat posts broke during use, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The CPSC reports that Peloton has received three complaints related to 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 “immediately stop using the recalled exercise bikes.”
“The integrity of our products and our Members’ well-being are our top priorities,” said Márcio Oliveira, Peloton’s SVP of Global Hardware Operations and Product Safety, in an emailed statement to TechCrunch. “We are taking this opportunity to make replacement seat posts available to all affected Bike+ users and we encourage them to contact us to receive the redesigned seat post as soon as possible.”
This isn’t the first time that Peloton has issued a recall. The company recalled around 2.2 million exercise bikes over safety concerns 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 a decline in post-pandemic sales. Since reaching its peak in January 2021, Peloton’s stock has fallen by over 90%.
As part of the company’s efforts to revive its business, Peloton recently announced its biggest launch in years. The company revamped its entire hardware lineup and launched Peloton IQ, an AI and computer vision system that provides personalized guidance to users.
Peloton’s new Cross Training Series includes five connected fitness devices: Cross Training Bike, Bike+, Tread, Tread+, and Row+. Each features an advanced Swivel Screen 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 insights, and real-time feedback.
Peloton’s focus on AI marks the company’s first big product change under CEO Peter Stern, a former Apple and Ford executive who took the reins of the company in January.
