Peloton, the popular fitness technology company, is recalling approximately 833,000 of its original Bike+ models due to safety issues with the seat posts. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has reported incidents where the seat posts broke during use, leading to injuries for some users.
The affected Bike+ units, sold between January 2020 and April 2025, have prompted the CPSC to advise Peloton customers to cease using the recalled exercise bikes immediately.
Responding to the situation, Peloton’s SVP of Global Hardware Operations and Product Safety, Marcio Oliveira, emphasized the company’s commitment to product integrity and customer well-being. Peloton is offering replacement seat posts to all affected Bike+ users to address the safety concern.
This is not the first time Peloton has faced a recall. In 2023, the company recalled around 2.2 million exercise bikes due to safety issues after customers reported injuries.
Amid efforts to recover from declining sales post-pandemic, Peloton is set to report its latest earnings and navigate this latest setback. The company has undergone leadership changes and layoffs to realign its growth strategy.
