    About

    Overall, the Peloton Bike was excellent. Data Display: The Peloton has a 22" touchscreen display for connected classes and display of session data, but the screen does not rotate for off-bike exercises. There are many different exercise programs available through its subscription service ($39 per month). It uses Wi-Fi or Ethernet to connect to the internet. The display shows numerical resistance, cadence, speed, time, wattage, and an estimate of calories burned. Exercise programs do not automatically adjust resistance, but manual changes are easily performed using the knob. There is a USB port to charge other electronic devices. Features: Requires bike shoes with delta clips. Can display heart rate by connecting with an optional heart rate monitor. Handlebars height, seat heights, and seat horizontal position are finely adjustable, but handlebars don't adjust horizontally. Can be adjusted to allow a very upright riding position. The seat may come out when being adjusted higher, but the bike has more adjustment range in seat heights than other exercise bikes. Has dual bottle holders and a place to store the dumbbells, but dumbbells are not included. Delivery and assembly is included in the purchase price. BUT: The bike requires AC power for data display but can be used without power since resistance levels are manually adjusted. Its screen can only be used for the Peloton app. It lacks toe cages for use with shoes other than bike shoes - compatible pedals or adapters with toe cages can be purchased from other sources.
