Peloton has recalled 830,000 of its Original Series Bike+ Model PL02 because the indoor bike’s seatpost assembly can break, posing a fall and injury hazard to users.
The recall, issued on 6 November in the USA, says consumers should stop using the indoor bike immediately and contact Peloton for a free repair. “Peloton is offering consumers a free seat post that can be self-installed,” it says.
The exercise equipment company, which also makes treadmills and rowing machines, says it has received three reports of the seatpost breaking and detaching from the bike during use, including two reports of injuries due to falls.
The recall states: “This recall involves Peloton Original Series Bike+ units, with model number PL02 and serial numbers beginning with the letter “T”.
“The bike measures 4 ft. long by 2 ft. wide and has an adjustable seat and handlebar. The bike’s serial number is located inside the front fork, behind the front fork, or behind the flywheel.”
Additional information to help locate a Bike+ serial number is on Peloton’s website.
Peloton says the Bike+ was sold at its own stores and Dick’s Sporting Goods across the USA. It was also sold at onepeloton.com, ebay.com, Amazon.com and Dickssportinggoods.com from January 2020 until April 2025.
