breaking

Peloton is recalling 833,000 units of the original Bike+ over a safety issue
related to the seat post. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said
the company received three reports of the seat post breaking during use,
including two reports of injuries sustained "due to a fall."

The CPSC said owners of the original Bike+ should stop using the device
immediately and contact Peloton for a free replacement seat post that they
can install themselves. You can identify whether your Bike+ is part of the
recall if you see a serial number that starts with "T" ΓÇö for instance,
TABCSSXXXXX ΓÇö inside the front fork, behind the front fork or behind the
flywheel.

The recall affects all of the original Bike+ units that Peloton sold in the
US. The company said it had not received reports of a seat post breaking on
any of the 44,800 units it sold in Canada. Peloton made the original Bike+
between 2019 and 2022. CNBC notes that the company was still selling those
bikes until April this year.

Peloton also had to recall 2.2 million base Bike units in May 2023 over a
seat post issue. At the time, the CSPC said there were 35 reports of the seat
post breaking during use, with 13 reports of related injuries.

The company refreshed its lineup last month, adding new features such as an
AI-powered camera thatΓÇÖs designed to check users' form. The new Cross
Training versions of Peloton's exercise machines came with a price hike. The
company increased subscription prices too.
