First of all. What can I say about Amazon, you get it next day and don’t have to wait two-three weeks for delivery! I originally ordered it from the peloton website and they said it would take two weeks to get there. So I was mad. Waited a week and peloton website could not deliver it the next day.So I cancelled my order with peloton and went with Amazon. Amazon has next day shipping and a 90 day return policy instead of the 30 day pelotons own website offered. Make sure you select the very last option for delivery which is the professional delivery and assembly at a room of your choice option.Upon delivery, they followed my instructions perfectly and set up the bike In the room I wanted. They room out all the cardboard and were very nice and professional. They even put the custom Favero Assioma power meter pedals that I had ordered on. The bike was ready to go after updates.Performance: configuration of the bike was super easy once you look up how you do it on YouTube. You don’t need the calibration tool. Just do the 1/4 turns and follow the rest of the instructions. The favero duo pedals work very well with the peloton app once they are configured to.The fact that I can load up zwift on my iPhone and pair it with my new pedals on my peloton bike and it saves the settings is an A++ in my book. You do have to pay for the membership to start the bike, but it’s worth it.Not super noisy and not as big as I imagined it to be. One thing to note, if you want to use this for zwift it will not work on their monitor. You have to use an external iPhone or iPad and pair your power meter pedals to that. Then it will work. Overall Amazon is A+ love the bike and the quality. They need to go with another third party delivery service for their own website. It should not take 3 weeks to order from the official website.

Three faulty bikes is too many. The first bike had a bent seat and potentially a bent seat post. The second bike had a faulty pedal that wouldn’t screw in. The third had a bent frame making it impossible to balance and pedal consistently. I’m not sure if this is a batch issue or the new normal for Peloton. Nonetheless it seems there has definitely been a decline in product quality.I regularly rode a peloton bike that was purchased before 2019. It was an amazing bike. The quality and smoothness of the ride I felt was unbeatable. Unfortunately the bike was not mine. I took a few years off from peloton and focused on outdoor cycling. Eventually I bought a Concept2 BikeErg to avoid Peloton’s $44/month membership fee. While the air resistance on the Concept2 is definitely different than Peloton’s magnetic resistance I was relatively satisfied with my purchase. It wasn’t until recently that I wanted something better suited for interval training. I had finally invested in my own Peloton bike. After receiving three faulty Peloton bikes I was unforgettably disappointed with my purchase and will never purchase another Peloton.I contacted Peloton about my experience with little to no resolution of the issue. They just didn’t seem to care about my primary complaint. Even after I expressed this situation would inevitable result in me never buying another Peloton, I received no response. Thankfully Amazon’s return policy is relatively hassle free otherwise this whole ordeal would have been a nightmare. Amazon’s free assembly is also a great perk but it’s important to note they are not product experts. Biking can take some getting used to but if your bike doesn’t feel right after set up it could be a faulty product.If you decide to purchase a Peloton I truly hope this isn’t your experience.

I'm now in the cult and I love it! So happy that I made this investment in myself by purchasing the Peloton bike. It is fantastic to have all of the convenience of a high-quality bike and the many classes and experiences in my home. I grabbed this during the Prime Day '24 sale and I am so glad I did! It has a small footprint but a huge impact on my health, and the accuracy of the metrics, coupled with the excellent quality of the display, make this a fun bike to ride.
