According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the seat post assembly on these Peloton bikes can break while in use, posing a significant risk of falls and injuries to users. Peloton has received three reports detailing the seat post breaking and detaching from the bike, with two of these incidents resulting in user injuries from falls. The recalled exercise bikes, manufactured in Taiwan and imported by Peloton Interactive Inc. of New York, were sold nationwide from January 2020 through April 2025 at Peloton and Dick’s Sporting Goods stores, as well as online through one peloton.com, ebay.com, Amazon.com, and Dickssportinggoods.com. The original purchase price for these bikes was approximately $2,495.

Consumers who own a Peloton Original Series Bike+ are strongly advised to immediately stop using the affected exercise bikes. To address the safety concern, Peloton is offering a free replacement seat post that consumers can install themselves. To determine if their bike is part of the recall and to request the free repair part, customers can contact Peloton toll-free at 866-679-9129 between 6 a.m. and 12 a.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
