Peloton is recalling 833,000 bikes after reports of injuries

Peloton is recalling about 833,000 of its original Bike+ machines after 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 Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning Peloton users to “immediately stop using the recalled exercise bikes.”

“The safety of our products and the well-being of our members are our top priorities,” said Marcio Oliveira, Peloton’s senior vice president of global device operations and product safety, in an emailed statement to TechCrunch. “We are taking this opportunity to make replacement seat functions available to all affected Bike+ users and encourage them to contact us to receive the redesigned seat function as soon as possible.”

This isn’t the first time Peloton has issued a recall. The company recalled about 2.2 million exercise bikes over safety concerns in 2023 after reports of customer injuries.

Thursday’s recall represents 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 post-pandemic sales decline. Since peaking in January 2021, Peloton stock has fallen more than 90%.

As part of the company’s efforts to revive its business, Peloton recently announced its biggest launch in years. The company has completely revamped its equipment lineup and launched Peloton IQ, an artificial intelligence and computer vision system that provides personalized guidance to users.

Peloton’s new cross-training series includes five connected fitness machines: the Cross Training Bike, Bike+, Tread, Tread+, and Row+. Each features an advanced rotating display to make it easy to transition between cardio, strength, yoga, Pilates, barre and more. As for Peloton IQ, the tool provides goal-based training tailored to the user’s fitness level, along with performance tracking, progress insights, and real-time feedback.

Peloton’s focus on artificial intelligence marks the company’s first major product change under CEO Peter Stern, a former Apple and Ford executive who took the reins of the company in January.
