Although the Peloton is the most popular exercise bike, it may not be what everyone is looking for. There may be better options to meet your needs. We’ve rounded up this list with alternatives that may be better options if you don’t want to commit to a Peloton.
Assembly
The benefits of owning a Peloton are that assembly is included in your delivery. If you decide to purchase a Peloton alternative, be prepared to assemble it yourself. We looked at the options offered by the exercise bike brand or included assembly. For the bikes we needed to assemble, we took into account the clarity of the instructions and the time it took to build the bike.
Features
Similar to Peloton, these alternatives include a subscription to access their classes. We looked at whether the member subscription is essential to your indoor cycling experience or if there is an option to just ride or connect to other third-party apps. We also looked at how the bike’s features compare to a Peloton.
Functionality
During the test experiment, we looked at how the exercise bike performed compared to a Peloton. We looked to see if any parts were arriving broken or if any parts of the bike were not working properly. We also observed how intuitive it is to use for a beginner since a Peloton is relatively simple to use.
Guarantee
When making a large purchase like a Peloton alternative, it is essential to know about the warranty in case of breakage. We’ve looked at how long the warranty lasts and what parts of the exercise bike it covers.
