Peloton recalls 833,000 original Bike+ units after seat-post failures

Peloton is recalling approximately 833,000 units of its original Bike+ after reports that the seat post can break during use. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says Peloton received three reports of seat-post failures, including two injuries caused by falls. The company urges affected owners to stop using their Bike+ immediately and contact Peloton for a free replacement seat post.

The recall applies to original Bike+ units sold in the United States. Peloton manufactured the Bike+ between 2019 and 2022 and continued selling the model until April 2025. Peloton reported no seat-post break incidents among the roughly 44,800 units sold in Canada.

How to check if your Bike+ is affected

• Open the front fork area (behind the front fork or behind the flywheel) and look for the serial number.
• If the serial number begins with the letter “T” (for example, TABCSSXXXXX), your Bike+ is included in the recall.
• If affected, stop using the bike immediately and contact Peloton for the free replacement seat post and installation instructions.

What Peloton owners should do

• Stop using the original Bike+ if you suspect it’s part of the recall.
• Contact Peloton’s support or visit their recall/help page to request a free replacement seat post.
• Follow Peloton’s guidance for self‑installation of the replacement part or request assistance if needed.
• If you experienced an injury or incident, report it to Peloton and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Context and background

This is not Peloton’s first recall related to seat‑post issues: in May 2023 the company recalled about 2.2 million base Bike units over similar seat‑post break risks, which included multiple reports of injuries. The new Bike+ recall underscores ongoing safety concerns around seat‑post durability on some Peloton models.

Peloton recently refreshed its product lineup with new features like an AI camera for form checks and Cross Training models, while also raising device and subscription prices.
