Platoon is recalling its original Bike+ after receiving reports that the seat post broke and became detached from the equipment during use, resulting in two injuries, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a news release Thursday.
The recall involves 833,000 units, affecting all original Bike+ sold by the company and manufactured between 2019 and 2022. The bikes were sold between January 2020 and April 2025, but Peloton stopped manufacturing them in 2022.
The recall comes after Peloton received two reports of injuries “due to a fall” after the pole broke, the CPSC said in its statement. He received three reports in total on the issue.
The CPSC said consumers should immediately stop using the bikes and contact Peloton for a free repair. The company offers a free seat post that users can install at home, the agency said.
In a statement Thursday, Peloton said, “The integrity of our products and the well-being of our members are our top priorities.” The company encouraged users to request the new part “as soon as possible.”
Thursday’s notice marks the second time Peloton has had to recall one of its bike models due to issues with the seat post.
In May 2023, the company recalled every base bike model it has ever sold, totaling 2.2 million units, after receiving 35 reports of the seat post breaking and detaching during use. The problem resulted in 13 injuries, including a broken wrist, lacerations and bruising.
At the time, the company said the recall led to higher churn than expected, with between 15,000 and 20,000 people pausing their monthly subscription while waiting for the seat post to be replaced. Replacing parts cost at least $40 million during its fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, the company said at the time.
The recall Thursday, the fifth since Peloton’s founding, comes as CEO Peter Stern seeks to put the fitness company back on the path to growth and overcome the many problems it has faced since its founding.
Changing consumer dynamics have plagued the company since the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, as have its recalls, including one of its Tread+ treadmill in 2021 after the death of a child.
A little over a month ago, Peloton relaunched its product assortment, raised prices and revealed new features ahead of the crucial holiday shopping season.
The current quarter is Peloton’s biggest in terms of hardware sales.
The company is expected to report its first quarter 2026 results after the bell on Thursday.
Clarification: This story has been updated to clarify that the recall affects all original Bike+ sold and manufactured between 2019 and 2022.
